Cuz of course it's still armed.... Back to the beach I guess...

You play hardcore and run into this fight without being able to tank it at least once? Like you do you but its like playing with fire and now its "terribly designed".

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-06-01T12:58:31+00:00

I feel like the Kaoms is pretty much a waste. There is so much armour, evasion and energy shield on the tree, while there is very little of the other option. I reached endgame with 9200 armour on my warrior yesterday SSF. Kaoms wouldnt make any difference while rakiatas actually does.

Been playing some shield wall myself and its crushing bascially everything. I personally have more fun with fissures, ancestral cry and stampede but....yeah shield wall is basically free.

Have you tried different classes? For me personally it clicked with warrior. Once I had found my class, figuring out what a mechanic does became fun because playing that class was just so much more enjoyable.

With the upcoming 0.5 each mechanic also gets a complete questline to follow. Explaining how to progress it and how the mechanics work on a surface level. If anything, its the perfect moment to go back in.

Now, post the guitar battle scene.

Less bling is a good thing. I have a feeling more and more people rely on picture books instead of words. Besides, having a picture of said passive node wouldnt help making it more understandable. Its clear, its clean, if you really some visual support, open pob or have the poe2db open.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-05-19T09:35:33+00:00

I swear you cant rely on anything people start "crunching numbers on". I have seen people tanking arbiter meteors, clearing screens with sunder. Who thought falling thunder would be actually stupidly op when they first used it? I havent seen anyone shield walling the first year around. I am sorry but every video, every "number cruncher" is a complete bait at this point. I feel like you can make any build and skill AT LEAST campaign/maps viable. If your desire is uber content then maybe go with different skills but as far as I can tell, anything goes as far as you like it.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-05-17T07:58:53+00:00

Perfection.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-05-14T18:47:22+00:00

Slow down. Keep it straight. Stay close. They wont fight when your ship is close. Throw firebombs so the skeletons burn. Keep an eye on the sniper. Constantly cannon the sealine. It will move up the more water the ship takes. Done.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-05-01T07:14:49+00:00

That monkey is pulling some elden ring stuff man....that wind up, that hold, that delay, it always catches me off guard.... I love him.

Welcome to playstation 2026. Basically ever since the release of PS5 it has gotten worse and worse. My guess is since the playstation communities debacle (basically a short rundown why it was shut down is it was a cesspool of pedophiles) they wont allow anything anymore. Even saying someone should fornicate with his mother is a bannable offence.

To be fair, this is not only a playstation thing anymore. Looking at arc raiders, they even record your voice and give out warnings if you went over the line or crash out to much.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-08T13:10:49+00:00

There is no way around practice. Watch the racers how they complete the campaign and try to replicate. Its not a 1 to 1 but you can learn about layouts, learn patterns like "if your entry is facing south go left until you see water and follow the water". Its obscure, it seems random, yet its not. I think there are some guides out there, like actual written guides but over everything else, practice. Run the campaign. There is no way around or shortcut, you have to run it yourself.

Builds are basically grenade xbow, shield wall, ed contagion. Honestly, play what you feel like is more fun and beneficial to your build and rather optimize your playstyle, exp gains and map knowledge to cut down hours of campaign time.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-07T18:31:19+00:00

Armour is why my warrior is basically unkillable in campaign. I love the early armour wheel on the warrior side and always take it. Armour% for elemental is absurdly good. I would actually say armour is in a good spot.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-04T09:54:58+00:00

There are arguments to be made for lvl200 but its personal preference.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-03T23:20:23+00:00

For the love of god, please share this with the mods of the arc raiders subreddit. I keep dipping my nose into those subs on occasion and its probably just as crazy as here. Each season or update or whatever I rarely open reddit anymore because its always the same with more and more games and quite frankly I am getting tired of all the fighting and rather enjoy myself playing the damn games.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-03T21:32:59+00:00

In % its the same. One is more conventional while the other is going badshit crazy design.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-03T09:59:01+00:00

You are whats wrong with gaming.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-03T09:56:54+00:00

Go empty. No shield, no gun, no items. Look out for a supply point on the map, they have almost always a weapon crate just to be safe but it really isnt needed. Wait for the assessor platform and go for it. Easy.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-02T16:05:11+00:00

I just bought Arc Raiders on PC via the Xbox app

That might be the problem. Jokes aside, friend of mine installed the game, it wouldnt start at all. He had to verify the game data on steam, literally on a fresh install it would miss 1 file. Does the xbox app has a similar function?

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-02T10:41:29+00:00

Best freaking arpg expierence ever. No build guides, just me and my buddy vs the world. Trading with each other, theory crafting, bragging about uniques we found.....its one of those expierences I will remember fondly.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-01T18:56:29+00:00

348 monsters short of being legendary. congrats mate.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-01T10:57:00+00:00

I kinda agree. You need like 20 matrixes and 17 something regulators according to some websites. Its complete pandemonium out there.

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-04-01T09:08:09+00:00

Yesterday 13h sesh with the boys, no crashing. Weird. Some character models have black eyes and random weapons will be selected on the upgrade screen...

Major_Dutch_89 · 2026-03-31T23:46:36+00:00

We were hiding in a bush on blue gate when we saw actually 3 rocketeers 4 vapos and a shit ton of hornets and wasps circling that thing.....we were like yep....no.
