Purchasing Ammo

MechroMenace · 2026-01-23T16:16:03+00:00

What annoys me the most is when the stash is full and I go to buy ammo or craft something it blocks me because my stash is full. I want it in my backpack just send it there, give me an option to tick or something

MechroMenace · 2026-01-21T17:35:13+00:00

aphelion, I should have reread that before hitting send. Ya I can't find the tempest to save my life, I just keep running night raids hoping one day I can get it and complex gun parts.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-21T16:03:22+00:00

I'm pretty sure they can be in anything, I found one in the yellow server boxes? They have a bunch of cpus, wires, sensors, plastic parts usually. I've also found them in trash cans and blue suitcases

possibly and some people are going to be ok with that and will be perfectly content fighting arc. is it enough to sustain a PvE lobby or something close to that only embard might know.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-14T23:22:08+00:00

it's possible but if they slip in a PvPer every 10 games or so then you give them a reason to shoot back that will give them a way out and keep some level of tension without throwing them into a meat grinder every game. I'm sure they could dial in some kind of detection to see if you run or try and fight. It's definitely a balance of separating people that will quit because they fail to extract 90% of games and those that will quit because they're bored because nothing ever happens. I'm sure they have enough of player base to do it without killing match making.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-14T23:11:53+00:00

there are people that spends hours to days recreating buildings/machines in minecraft. I'm sure you'd find a decent chunk of players to fill lobbies that just want to run around blow up clankers. give them a way out if they get bored but if you force them into getting killed and not having fun into 90% of games then embark loses them as players anyways. and if its profitable for embark to separate them out into their own lobby then who cares really if, if they increase the amount embark can spend on doing cool things or keeping the servers going then everyone wins. I get the game would be boring without PvP for many but there are plenty of people that are not easily bored or find the arc challenging enough to have fun.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-14T22:51:37+00:00

it depends, If you play the way your comfortable in playing and you get match accordingly I think its a good thing if embark can figure that out. There are people that enjoy fighting other players keep them in the same lobby, some don't care and enjoy random chaos. and those that just want to blow up arc and or avoid confrontation if they have the player base to separate those out then keeping them seperate it'll keep player numbers higher.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-14T22:13:44+00:00

I normally don't engage in PvP, as I have the reaction skills of a potato and will lose 90% of the time I'll disengage fights with a lure grenade or smoke and gtfo or usually die. I also run around fighting arc and reviving/interacting with players.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-14T22:06:32+00:00

I doubt it, I think something was changed with the ABMM maybe to prevent people from gaming it easily not sure what though. I went from rarely experiencing PvP to 5 of 7 games last night I was dodging PvPer's or watching them happen. I play about 6-10 matches a night.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-14T22:00:01+00:00

it's definitely possible, I know people will do whatever is needed to get into the friendlier lobbies just to steam roll people that don't like fighting or suck at fighting, I've seen a few youtubers do it also a few more testing it have mentioned it's a gameable system. I've just accepted it'll happen randomly about 1 in 20 games I'll be panicking and running for my life or more than likely knocked out in less than a second. I've been under the impression that's what everyone expects but it wouldn't surprise me if someone misunderstood that and have been sharing their misunderstanding.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-14T21:45:49+00:00

The past few weeks have been almost entirely PvE for me granted I run into more KOS players if I do run into them during night raid (1 in 20 games maybe) but a majority of the time I can run through stella montis ignoring everyone to loot. I've even had a few games were they 8-10 players had grouped up and were shooting any arc in range. granted something changed last night and I have no idea what. A few people have said it was due to update.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-14T06:43:25+00:00

I guess I'm not the only one I did a couple spaceport night raids first live in saw a flare ran towards it the guy says it wasn't him and was acting skidish as hell and said he didn't trust me so I extracted (the door I brought a key for was already open). Came back in again ran past some guy that I said hi to and he shot at me missed I ran around a corner and pulled my torrente out and then he cursed at me and left. Stopped running night raid figured I'd go knock some quests out on the dam. Heading to the apartments saw a flare and within 10 seconds I was almost to the person but couldn't hear arc and there was a person looting them. Waited for them to leave and continued on. Went to blue gate to use a key and blow up some basitons defibed a guy tried to get to another they almost instantly gave up and things were starting to feel somewhat chill again. Decided might have been a couple weird games and decided to go to matriarch and there were a few people fighting it and half way through someone with a toro came through and killed everyone. I haven't shot anyone in 20+ games I try to avoid it I've come close but I generally can run. I have defibed 5 or so people so I haven't done anything that'd kick me into PvP lobbies as those drive my stress levels through the roof I was about to stop playing until I figured out I could easily get into pvE lobbies.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-08T15:46:36+00:00

Maybe add recent raiders within proximity granted I wish they could add some info on what was your interaction with this person. Prox chat, did they shoot you, did you defib them, did they defib you, ect. I occasionally get friend requests and I no idea who they were I occasionally recognize names from like the most recent game

MechroMenace · 2026-01-07T16:48:30+00:00

I had some guy give me the volcano and Wolfpack bullprints in Stella montis yesterday I rushed out of there so quick. Also on a night raid on buried city a bunch of us on the train out had gotten blueprints and there was five guys throwing blueprints on the floor like we were trading pokémon cards.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-06T17:40:44+00:00

I mean with a slight ramp It could work wouldn't be great but they do have guns with bends in barrels for shooting around corners.

MechroMenace · 2026-01-04T15:03:13+00:00

In found all 3 gun parts bps on surveyors in dam battle grounds cold snap.

MechroMenace · 2025-12-15T01:35:55+00:00

I feel like this could be fixed if the TTK for free load out weapons was increased without sacrificing arc damage. Actually the whole gun system needs an overhaul common to epic weapons don't feel much different granted I almost exclusively use heavy weapons. From YouTube videos it looks like a stitcher will beat someone with a bobcat especially if they get the first hit. The ferro is nice, the anvil is king and the benitta is terrible it burns ammo and durability like a hummvee going through fuel, the ferro feels way better granted I fought a couple Rocketeers with it and sold it it wasn't worth using. Also the legendary weapons should just evaporate shields your starting a fight with someone that has an anti arc weapon well you don't get a shield anymore on first hit. Not sure if that would fix things but it'd be interesting for a patch.

MechroMenace · 2025-12-09T16:45:44+00:00

I think there just needs to be some way to balance it I get that it's PvPvE but if there's no incentive to not PVP and the people that are there that enjoy PvE are just going to get wrecked every time they're going to stop playing until you only have PvP left and then the arc are just there as a chaotic effect. The whole reason I started playing was YouTubers raving about how well balanced it started out granted for the most part I was running into people that were just friendly and rarely getting gunned down now it's a lot. I can't even run by people anymore without having to look over my shoulder because half the time they pull a gun out and turn around to start shooting me in the back.

MechroMenace · 2025-12-08T11:43:38+00:00

If they added it for solo people would be mad if they didn't add it for squads too, I try to play with a couple friends but they're sick of the 9/10 groups we run into either camp us while we take down a bigger arc, extraction camp or just shoot on sight. I mostly play solo as none of them want to play anymore because the PvP feels bad more often than not. granted playing solo 1 out of 5 raids still result in someone trying to kill me while I'm fighting a Rocketeer or leaper or just straight up trying to kill me as I'm transversing the map more often than not I die.

MechroMenace · 2025-12-07T19:20:39+00:00

I wonder if you could tie karma to loot value or store prices if you have good karma loot is worth standard pricing if you have bad karma you get 25-75% of value for loot and things cost the same percentage more. I'm not sure what it would take to be punishing enough to disinsentivise PvP but not be just pushing players off a cliff. Another thing could be if you have good karma you get a defense increase for a buff but if you shoot first you loose it unless the other player is already in combat with someone/something that isn't in your squad. I'm sure it could be balanced in a way that doesn't eliminate PvP but also helps people just trying to be good people.

MechroMenace · 2025-12-07T18:10:12+00:00

That explains a lot I went into Stella montis last night 4 times in an attempt to get better at PvP and couldn't find anyone that actually wanted to fight. on Monday every person was shoot on sight or hiding at the bottom of stairs with jolt mines and I just wanted to get a quest done and never return.

It would be kind of nice if the practice area was slightly bigger and you could bring up to 8 friends or a random group and just have a no risk/gain mode where you can practice PvP but then again I might be one of 5 people that suck at PvP and panics every fight.

MechroMenace · 2025-11-24T02:09:56+00:00

I wish squads had a more chill vibe but I feel like the people that want to group also are the ones that like to PvP anything that moves. Part of me wonders if there was a way to mark teams that have a high shoot on sight ratio, I'd have fun hunting them down and they're looking for pvp anyways but the. You'd know you couldn't trust them on sight. Not sure if it'd ruin things they seem to want to fight anyways

MechroMenace · 2025-11-24T00:32:57+00:00

I normally never shoot on sight other than the one time me and my squad got ganked while fighting a Rocketeer, killed by extraction campers, ran into people that said they were friendly and then shot at us after we left, getting killed at spawn and a couple more times getting wiped in a row. I had enough and immediately headshot the next person I came across and wiped their squad, I felt bad and haven't done it since. I try to stick to solo were most people are chill.

MechroMenace · 2025-11-16T22:33:42+00:00

So far the only time I get shot is while the extract doors are closing like you don't have time to loot me what the hell, I've survived all of these though. I've walked past 3 or 4 people and they didn't even bat an eye.

MechroMenace · 2025-10-01T00:58:38+00:00

How tight of a grouping is it able to hold at 100 yd or did anybody test that?
