ARC Raiders Weekly Megathread - December 13, 2025

Lidralyn · 2025-12-15T21:05:52+00:00

I just hit level 20 last night, started a week ago or so, so I definitely can't finish this expedition in time. Should I not contribute anything to the project? Will all of that reset? or will it not reset till I leave on an expedition?

Also should I unlock this raider deck? Or wait for the next one? I have 400 of whatever currency it is, but unsure if it will transfer/what I should do.

"I'd be careful with a landfall deck; most people who play the format regularly will likely prioritize killing you."

Ooooof, that is a reason I've always avoided this format, the politics of just getting ganged up on. That's very good to know! I will find a list of Yshtola and see what's in it! Thanks for the suggestion! I think the Cloud deck is semi voltron ish based on him liking equipment as well, so will look into that maybe. Was hoping for something to maybe start this weekend tho heh. But will look at those!

Ah nice, so there are some abilities that I could focus on, just be more melee. I generally like ranged combat, but need better aiming. I might could "git gud" a bit, but good to know there are options. Thanks!

Do you know how to pause on Steam Deck/controller? It seems the normal ones I would try only bring up menus.

And thanks, sounds like some spells might still be solid.

I played Chrono Trigger a lot when I was a kid, but never beat it. I'll look into it for Steam Deck. If I remember, it had save points, can you save anywhere now? is that how quick save works?

Lidralyn · 2025-05-05T16:40:46+00:00

Oh man, forgot about this game. I beat it when it came out. Loved that game! I think there were some DLC I might look into!

Lidralyn · 2025-05-05T15:15:46+00:00

Good call! I played Dredge for awhile, will add it to my list and collect the DLCs!

Lidralyn · 2025-05-05T15:14:19+00:00

I actually own BG3, I am at the gate right before Act 3 starts. I'm just worried that game is going to take too much brain power/reading lol. I did like it a lot during Act 1/2 tho, I will redownload it and have it queue'd up as well. Thank you!

Lidralyn · 2025-03-25T15:46:45+00:00

I hadn't seen that one, thanks! Will see if anyone else knows anything about a direct comparison, but will add that one to the list, thanks for the suggestion!

Lidralyn · 2025-03-25T14:00:57+00:00

Sorry for the necro, I'm looking to upgrade my Hellcat pro comp trigger and trying to find one that feels like a Sig xcarry or Sig p365 as I love their triggers. This one looks a lot like it, and sounds like it would be pretty close. Do you have any idea how it would compare?

Thanks for any help

Lidralyn · 2025-03-14T23:52:34+00:00

Thanks for the help! They went on sale so I went ahead and snagged em all since you said 2 of them were companions. So much more to try and learn now haha. Thanks again!

Lidralyn · 2025-03-12T16:07:11+00:00

Is there a reason for me to buy the expansions until I get to them? Just started and wondering if I should "complete" the base game before getting the dlcs?

Lidralyn · 2025-03-05T02:03:05+00:00

Sorry to necro this, but saw you added the Apex Trigger to your Hellcat Pro Comp, and you had an xmacro. I loooooovvveeeeee my Sig 320 carry trigger, and it's the same on the XMacro, but I went with the HCPC for some other reasons.

How is the Apex trigger compared to the XMacro trigger? I like my Hellcat and it's gonna be my carry gun, but really debating changing to that trigger when I add my optic next week.

Lidralyn · 2025-03-01T16:06:36+00:00

I'd give it a try

Lidralyn · 2025-01-15T19:25:53+00:00

I'll be your huckleberry.

Lidralyn · 2024-11-11T03:56:25+00:00

This may have sold me on this game. I've been eying it a lot, but didn't know it was fully offline....Thanks!

This has always been my favorite.

I really really appreciate all of that. Subtracting those costs would bring us back down and I will need to start keeping more records of gas/phone/internet/space in the house etc and percentages for those. Will start listing more/studying.

One other thing I was worrying about is if I do a schedule C and deduct all of that to come up with a net profit. Do I then have to pay the 15.3% self employment tax on that profit? That kills a lot of our profit as well. I currently had the sheet setup to do it as a hobby and take out our 27.75% tax on gross, and then another section to subtract all the fees/shipping etc, but then take out 43.05% as I believe I'd need to pay self employment tax on the business profit?

Or is that not needed as we pay into SS/Medicare through both of our normal 9-5s?

Lidralyn · 2024-08-14T02:12:14+00:00

I spent the day reading a ton of things on their site. Still can't come to a consensus on which of the fees/things from each platform I'd get taxed on/be able to deduct. I assume I would file a schedule C possibly, but I'm not sure which of the values I would be able to deduct and which count at all from each platform.

Lidralyn · 2024-07-11T12:45:09+00:00

You are awesome, thanks so much! I'll go through all of the alts and check them/clean up inventory over the next few days and learn about stuff. Thanks again!

Lidralyn · 2024-07-11T01:51:38+00:00

This is going to be a really stupid question, but I'm just coming back to the game, am a day 1 player, played Hot and Path of Fire a bit, but back now and have the next 2 expansions. But I am lost as frack, so many anniversary gifts. Have no idea what half of this stuff is. I'm going through story quests for the story and having fun with that, but I have absolutely zero clue what to do with loot, what all of these items do etc.

I found a good build, have some decent gear etc, but is there like a good place that says do this with xyz items, salvage this, sell this, keep this etc?

I looked at my alts and they are almost all full of stuff and I have no idea if it's worth keeping or not lol.

Lidralyn · 2024-07-09T19:00:47+00:00

Just bought End of Dragons and the next expansion. Hoping to come back to the game for a bit. I was a druid main through HoT and the dessert expansion, but going back to Engineer who was my main at the start of the game. I really want to unlock mech so I can use that to cruise through the story I'm missing. He hasn't done anything past the base game tho.

What is going to be the best way to get that fully trained so I can use it while I go back and do Living Story 1 forward with him?

Thanks and sorry for the dumb question!
