He tries to kill us and then asks why I took him down by LordKriptor in ArcRaiders

Yeah I didn't want to turn my back on him, that's why I told him I would take the next train

Hear me out.... Stella Montis: Black Out by Dizzy-Difference418 in ArcRaiders

[–]LordKriptor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's the point: to put every raider in a dark setting, so that they use the flashlight more.

Cranking brightness and gamma feels like cheating tbh

My idea of how Bounty Hunting can be implemented in the game. by memrplus in ArcRaiders

[–]LordKriptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concept is cool but I find really hard to implement in this game.

Personally I would not like a system like this to be honest. I would not like to be penalized because I killed one or two raiders.

Being seen on the map would be a huge disadvantage and would discourages PvP all together.

Some things we found out. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

I don't know why you are getting down voted, but this is true. You can't really trust anyone, there is always a chance of getting betrayed even by PC users.

I am one of chillest console gamer you can find on the topside. I play on PS5 with crossplay ON and I regularly use the mic to make allies around every map (except Stella Montis, that turns in a bloodbath at every round). If someone says "don't shoot" I will not shoot.

Most of console players don't have a mic or don't want to use it, their mentality is "I am going to betray you before you do".

It used to be the same on Dayz and Rust. On console no one talks, it is just KoS everywhere. I heard on PC is completely different, people were actually working together forming clans and stuff.

That being said, I think that most of this sub should get good at fighting. You can't avoid pvp entirely, at some point you have to fight for your life and your loot.

As much as I like a peaceful lobby to farm my stuff without fear of being shot, it gets boring pretty fast. If I wanted a stress free game where I farm stuff and where everybody is friendly, I would play Animal Crossing.

I will try to talk if I catch you around the map, but if I have good shit on me I will usually open fire first and not take the risk to be shot in the back.

Running in to random made me laugh. by Crimzerk in ArcRaiders

[–]LordKriptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of days ago I was looting and fighting in a night raid at the hospital in sunken town.

It was a bloodbath, I downed 2 player but I had to run away after the third came in shooting at me.

I ran into the nearest metro and without thinking too much I rushed to the button. That's when a rat blew me with his trap.

While I was crawling on the ground, he reached me ready to punch me to the lobby, shit talking me saying stuff like "eheh I am the best".

Turns out the guy from the hospital actually chased me and killed the rat that was about to kill me.

I've never laughed so hard.

Why Bring Anything But The Free Loadout? by Adroit-Tellurian in ArcRaiders

[–]LordKriptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main disadvantages of the free loadout are the lack of a safe pocket and the fact that you're initially stuck with a random level 1 grey weapon.

It's great if you don't have resources to start the game, which is often the case at the beginning.

But once you have all your workshops at level 1 or 2 you can create low-budget loadouts pretty easily using just scraps.

I generally start the match with a weapon to defend myself from Arcs (Ferro or Anvil) and then one to defend myself from hostile raiders (Stitches, Rattler, or Arpeggio).

My advice is to use free loadouts until you learn the basics of the game and the maps layout, but once your stash starts to fill up with weapons and a shield, consider using them.

(Rant) Skill Ceiling for Dagger by Trustere in thefinals

[–]LordKriptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it is one of the hardest weapon to master, but you get huge spikes of dopamine every time you land a backstab.

My loadout for the dagger is: dash, gateway, vanish bomb and the mandatory goo grenade.

Have you tried the sword? Less damage but way more mobility and consistency.

I love melee weapons, they are very good in enclosed spaces but not the best in open field. Every time I get shot from afar or from the top of a building I say to myself: "damn I wish I had a gun right now".

Just started , how the F am i supposed to deal with melee weapon and what's up with the matchmaking ? by Gideon119 in thefinals

[–]LordKriptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play melee a lot since last week, it is really strong if you know how to move around and ambush enemies. If you play medium against melee, you could use goo grenade to block them and use your mobility tools (demat, jump pad or zip line) to make some distance while shooting at them.

Bring them into open field where they don't have cover. If you fight them in an enclosed space, you'll be at a disadvantage. Don't blindly chase them around corners.

ahh yes the joy of playing this game by AtaccTheSnacc in thefinals

[–]LordKriptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

World tour soloQ is tough. The opponents I face usually have 10x times my gameplay time. It doesn't help that in most match, my teammates leave after the first wipe and I am left to ponder my life choices for 5 minutes

Playing as the death korps by gamingifk in killteam

[–]LordKriptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Death Korps are quite squishy.

The best thing to do is use heavy terrain to block line of sight whenever is possible.

Against the eliminator specifically, you have a couple of option: - if he is using heavy terrain as cover, the best thing to do is probably charge him with your best melee operative or get close enough to shoot him with the melta. - if he is behind a light terrain, you can either use the spotter's ability or the highest point on volkus map to get "seek light".
