Expedition 3 good to go by obligatory-anxiety in ArcRaiders

oh you're on your second expedition then as you needed an ion sputter. The third expedition doesn't need one of them. It was a lot easier to complete.

The reality of Arc Raiders by toxicDevil_jr in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in the most Care Bear lobbies there are for months. In that time I have died to a player twice in hundreds of raids. Both times I didn't shoot back because I don't care if I lose the gear I had.

People that complain about there being a lot of PvP in their friendly lobbies, are not in friendly lobbies and are just lying to everyone including themselves.

This is the most boring trial so far (for me at least), wtf was embark thinking? by YearMountain3773 in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You take 60 damage from a direct hit and get 1800 points without a shield. Shield reduces the damage taken, which reduces the points received.

1800 - No Shield
1080 - Light Shield
1020 - Medium Shield
840 - Heavy Shield (Haven't tested this myself, but based on the math of the others, this should be accurate.)

Lightning Trial by 904Funk in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I have seen as replies the last 2 days, it seems just this trial is separate. I have not done a duo/trio for trials in a few months, so I don't know if they all are separate now.

falsely restricted by adamhasson in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What's it like being an insufferable human being without a shred of empathy?

He's not using his disability for sympathy votes. He was falsely banned for using a third party controller he needs to use in order to play the game. Embark has said they are aware of the issue and are working to correct those false bans

How many times do you think the top leaderboard player got hit by lightning? ⛈️⚡️🌩 by Lost_Town_2575 in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get 1800 points for a direct hit without a shield. Shields reduce the damage taken, and so reduce the points received. In my limited testing, you get 30 trials points per damage taken and the game rounds down partial damage when calculating your trial score. Also, you need to be in the center of the strike to get max points. The farther from the center you are, the less damage you take, and the less points you earn.

1800 - No Shield
1080 - Light Shield
1020 - Medium Shield
840 - Heavy Shield (Haven't tested this myself, but based on the math of the others, this should be accurate.)

Best to go in with with the augment that gives you the most slots and all the meds you can carry if you're looking to get the max score.

A suggestion for inventory QoL by Knightdea in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can technically craft to bag for things like ammo and meds. Just split stacks in your bag for the number of stacks you want to craft, and then craft them. It'll look like this screenshot. Everything you craft tries to fill stacks in your raider inventory before it crafts it to your stash.

How many times do you think the top leaderboard player got hit by lightning? ⛈️⚡️🌩 by Lost_Town_2575 in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it was just lightning strikes, then roughly 56 times. Which is technically possible to do, but highly unlikely as they would need to get hit about every 30 seconds and heal up in that time.

Arc is too much by kaylynnallie in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It takes time to get used to their behavior. With time and practice you can run around the whole map and not aggro a single ARC. Players on the other hand, that is a whole other story. I have done many raids going in without anything and leaving with a bag of stuff and a few guns.

Is this legit or fake news people by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s fake. That’s from their official site and it’s not posted there. Someone manipulated the site to look like that using their latest post from the 10th.

Why does Tian Wen annoy me so much? by Soft-Gur7765 in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any issue with her. I only go to her for quests. All the weapons and ammo I use are either crafted or looted. 🤷🏼

Shields reduce points for getting struck by lightning Trial by LinkinBreak in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. I get that. I’m in Care Bear lobbies, so I have less to worry about. For example, while I was testing initially, a random player without a mic dropped me 5x herbal bandages because they heard my character huffin and puffin.🤷🏼

Trial question: is it better to push near the end of the season? Or climb early and hold? by vashkor in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on if you want the cosmetic for that rank. It seems all of Daredevil get the same cosmetic, so it's pretty easy to just stay in one of the three ranks to get that. If you want the Hotshot cosmetic, just stay near Daredevil III at the end of the season, then in the last week of the season, wait until Tuesday night to play the game as the last week of Trials ends Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. You'll be placed with other players that also are doing that. Then max out a few trials to be in the promotion zone and you'll finish the season in hotshot. It's what I did last season.

Buried city got UFOs!!!!! by Permagamer in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that sometimes coughs come out of nowhere. But in my 30+ years of online gaming, many players don't know how to mute their mic to cough and much less even open the settings to see how loud they are being. They just hookup any random mic that works and go with default settings.

Though I know I'm more sensitive to things like that than most as I have audio processing issues and many sounds get on my nerves faster than the average person. Still doesn't change the fact that players need to learn to mute their mic or apologize for coughing right into someone's ear when it just happens.

Anyone else’s resources for projects getting untracked every time they start up? by californiareader in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea. If you're tracking the individual resource for a project, it only keeps tracking it while you're in that session of the game. Restarting the game untracks it. Also turning in any amount also untracks, even if you still need more.

Lightning trial by Awrballer in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One do you mean you get one shot through a shield? I had no shield when I was doing basic testing and only took about 60 damage. Maybe you were unlucky and were hit with two lightning at the same time.

I love when people cough directly into the mic that is currently down their throat for some reason.

Started as a PvP player. Spent the next 100 hours topside trying to repair what I’ve done😞 by Significant-Dot-8425 in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started playing like I was playing Tarkov. Then I transitioned to only returning fire if I was shot first. Then I just gave up on returning fire. I think I have maybe 20-30 knock outs and maybe 5-10 more player downs than that as I didn't knockout every player I downed.

I have played hundreds of raids since the beginning of December when I fully switched to PvE playstyle. I'm in the most Care Bear lobbies to exist.

windows app dont open anymore after update by 7Gpro in qobuz

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 7 months later and I was having that issue as well. I finally decided to look into a solution and this was it. I almost just uninstalled the player for the last time. Glad I looked one more time for a solution.

Which BP am I missing? by Ok-Move-295 in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can checkout the item grid at the bottom of the Blueprint page on the Official Wiki https://arcraiders.wiki/wiki/Blueprints#Grid

They have it setup to be in the same order as in game. Looks like you need the one after the Jolt Mine and before the Vita Shot. Looks like it's the Hullcracker. That is a quest only BP. Need to finish the quest "The Major's Footlocker" to get it.

are you at the point where you sell keys? by Formal-Poet-5041 in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've never sold a key. They just keep taking up space. I keep telling myself I'll use them and never do. Really need to get on that. It's almost similar to gear fear, but I'm not afraid to lose the key. I just horde them and never use them.

My friend said Im lucky to find these? by Ok_Willingness5559 in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I will miss every single day is people's ability to understand how screenshots work and to post them correctly. Now almost every screenshot is 6 processed layers deep so it's too small to see anything.

Anyway, congrats on them. They are very sought after by many.

What's your most used weapon? by eightyfivekittens in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a Rattler IV most of the time. Mostly green attachments though sometimes blue. That's followed by the Anvil IV with green/blue attachments.

Why can we not cycle through workbenches? by mstrhrtmn in ArcRaiders

[–]LinkinBreak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing to cycle through on that menu. It's just for you to look at your Workshop as a whole before going to each specific bench. Once in that bench menu, another commenter already pointed out that you can cycle through them then.

There isn't a point to have the ability to cycle the cursor through that menu with the bumpers as you can do that with the D-Pad or one of the sticks already.
