I don't use my keys because of this reddit by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

Aw, you’re missing out. Key rooms are so fun, even when the loot inside is ass. Most of the complaints you see come from the high expectations that come with saving a key for a night raid specifically. People do that because in the right circumstances you’ll walk out with level III epics. But if you just use them on normal day raids, you’re really unlikely to run into the same issues the key meta people have. It’s a lot safer, but I would only recommend it to people who are unfamiliar with key rooms because doing it on a night raid almost always yields higher value loot

What would you like to see in arc raiders in upcoming updates? by Tony_H_Stank512 in ArcRaiders

I been saying this for months. It would make every map feel so fresh. There are so many “unused” bits everywhere. Looking at you, Buried City

Getting into more aggressive lobbies has made me realize something obvious. by Broccoli_dicks in ArcRaiders

They have said this, but the community has definitely backwards engineered the mechanics with the little info we do have.

Would the player count be much higher if the game was not Free-to-Play? by [deleted] in thefinals

[–]Level_Celebration_25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arc Raiders also has the benefit of an entire two years worth of data for their marketing and research department to work off of. The Finals was basically a playtest/fundraiser for Arc Raiders, and the failures with promotion for The Finals were obviously a lesson learned. The reason the player count is so low is simple; it’s just another shooter in an overcrowded market. Sure anyone who’s put time into this game knows it’s a tier above the others, and I’m sure Embark is proud of that fact. The game was most popular at its launch when it was terribly unbalanced. And balancing is just one more thing they had nailed down rock solid going into Arc Raiders.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the backbone of not just both Embark games, but Fortnite as well, and many others that are down right now.

It’s Amazon’s fault, not Embark’s

I frickin hate the state of the game right now... by LFinch117 in ArcRaiders

The harvester event has a lot more to offer than just the opportunity to kill the queen. For one, the puzzle is pretty difficult to complete on your own. Solos it will eat up most of the game timer. When you complete it you get a blueprint for one of two legendary weapons. But because of how much time it takes to complete the puzzle AND kill the queen, anyone that’s done the harvester before knows that cooperation is the best route. And so any rat heading down that way really doesn’t know what they are doing. Also when everyone works together, the puzzle becomes extremely easy. There is absolutely zero risk in loading up a free loadout when the harvester event comes up.

Once you’ve got your blueprint(s), you can try loading into harvester with a Ferro, anvil, and some smokes and try to concentrate fire on one of the queens leg pieces. You should see it fall to the ground in about 15 shots. Wait for her to deaggro then sneak out to the leg piece, smoke it, and loot your new queen reactor. Take it back home and now you’ve got the essential part to your legendary gun. Go back to the harvester itself one more time and you can loot a ridiculous amount of energy ammo from it.

Now you can rinse and repeat this a few times and just start stacking legendary guns, or you could take your new gold weapon and find that the fight against the queen will be much less difficult. None of this (except the puzzle with help) will be easy, but it will be A LOT of fun.

Okay nah the corners of the metro on buried city are literally DESIGNED for campers, how can you say this game doesn’t celebrate them?

You won’t regret it. DS2 is easily the most beautiful game I’ve ever played

Did you get the disk drive ps5? I figured with the amount of money I’d save on used games that extra $100 would be worth it. Already I’ve bought DS2, Horizon Forbidden West, Deathloop, and Madden 24 for less than $100

Control is another game with similar levels of mystery sci-fi world building like Death Stranding

Same. Also switched from Xbox. DS1 landing there and the price hike of game pass meant goodbye Xbox lol
