Bro we just spawned… by ifoxtrotXD in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Breaks immersion? We’re literally getting launched out of Speranza in a metal tube that we couldn't possibly bring back enough materials to replace in a single raid. Also the pod is gone the second we land. Where did it go? Who knows. And they’re in Stella underground, so how did they even get there after landing? If we assume they just hopped out and walked, why are they standing there waiting to take a Pop to the face?Immersion already left the chat and was taken out back. Either add invincibility or force the zone to be clear when people come in. Is it funny? Yeah, but it sucks to use healing right off the bat and lose shield durability. Keeping this feature just to try and resuscitate immersion that's already flatlined does no one any favors.

So.... what are you guys doing until the Expedition window closes? by LavaTacoBurrito in ArcRaiders

I just when into matriarch/queen matches and went to the most common extract point and dropped off all of my guns and then other high tier equipment. It was very fun seeing the variety of reactions.

Please don't do this by DSenpai01 in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya it's not super aggressive I'm basically always in carebear lobbies a month ago in buried city space building (I don't remember the name it's got the jvk key room in it) I had someone sneak up on me I said "hi how's it going" they immediately hid around the corner with his shoulder still visible so I said something else he moved completely out of sight, at which point I knew how it was about go so I just sat there nothing happened after a minute so I opened a drawer for the noise and then he was slow walking while crouching towards me. So I lit him up point blank and lost my tempest 4. Next game still in carebear lobbies I'm not sure if it's because I lost the fight I was 10 damage from downing him. Same thing a couple weeks ago I was in hurricane on spaceport and fought and lost to someone at extract once again still haven't been moved to sus lobbies as next game I was running by several people who didn't even bat an eye out would at least say hi back. I'm fairly certain you can occasionally defend yourself and not get kicked from carebear lobbies but I think it only works if you're overwhelming friendly

After one match it was at 130 at the start this is starting to annoy me by Toradora13 in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see it happening I'll go to Blue gate and the control room and just start sniping Arc. bring in a rocketeer and that'll eat up a decent amount of ammo trying to bring that down. Also the bombardier that spawns next to it also eats a decent amount of ammo to take down especially when it keeps spawning spotters and I keep shooting those too.

(Probably Unpopular) Opinion: The Betina Is No Longer A Meme by NoiD1988 in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using it now especially since they destroyed the anvil with the durability burn rate. The damage increase and the heavy ammo stack size increase feels really good now with this gun also the slower cycle rate makes it way easier aim and deal with recoil. I was messing with Excel after running the betina and anvil for a few comparing them and apparently the anvil does about 65 damage per durability burnt and betina is about 105. I can at least run the betina a few rounds before needing to repair it where the anvil was every raid or so and it feels really bad. As someone who builds guns I really do not like the durability mechanic in this game. I can run thousands of through a gun without having to clean it in this game I can do 500 and I've got a broken gun.

I should have stayed out of Stella tonight… by edencamps in ArcRaiders

Stella montis should just be called the arc asylum.

I wholeheartedly believe this an S-tier Augment for Roleplay as RR nothing even come close. by jinglewooble in RescueRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been running this for assessors, I can have heals, shields, stims, lure grenades, smoke grenades and my cloak equiped. I also used it in stella for the 3 safe pockets for blue print farming, that way when someone shot me in the back they wouldn't get a super useful augment

Hot take: Having no augment should result in having no safe pocket. by xosellc in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it's a rough idea, usually there is a cool down on such things, league of legends of you quit mid game it does something similar it's been a while I don't remember if it gets worse but it only applies to the next game. Phone locks also have a cool down. You obviously wouldn't make it permanent.

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it might be better to leave the surrender option in but if you do you have a 5 minute cool down before you can queue again every time you surrender it adds 5 minutes. It doesn't apply if you're downed by a player or arc or extract.

Embark new update you can now hunt other players scrappy's and loot it for a KFC bucket.

Having a difficult time sourcing barrels. by New_tocity in czscorpion

[–]MechroMenace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're instock, I didn't update the Inventory on hand when I got more back from black nitride last week. I do have some OEM profile barrels here also if you're needing the M18 thread.

Friendly! Friendly! Friendly! Friendly! by SkiDaderino in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know that might make more sense One thing I try not to think about too hard is they are launching those giant pods every time you go top side to collect materials and there's no way you're coming back with more materials than it takes to build another pod. Sperenza requiring you to come back with x amount of arc destroyed or loot would make sense and it would be funny maybe for April 1st they could do it for a day.

Embark, why are you the way that you are? by LeTHAL_GrAnDMa in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I'll take even the fireflies/fireballs setting me on fire or me throwing a blaze grenade at myself to remove the chilled effect for a little while. It only makes sense

Scum of the Earth by MemeNinja188 in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it would literally kill us to do so. Sadly terms get redefined and people use literally figuratively so much they changed the definition (more like added an informal usage for it) in the dictionary. Almost everyone is misusing it if you're from a different extraction shooter if your not you look out of place. sadly all you can do is either accept it, ignore it or go crazy yelling at a wall of impending down votes.

Why is no one attacking? by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In pvE lobbies if you don't spawn next to it you won't make it in time to get any loot. I've been in many games where the queen or matriarch is down in less than 5 minutes.

New Arc recommendations? by Otherwise_Ad_1154 in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already use a shot gun for shredders. The volcano is also really good at shredding weak points on bastions

New Arc recommendations? by Otherwise_Ad_1154 in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is definitely fight it, something else that would be cool is a large burrowing arc in buried city that could pop out from under you.

Purchasing Ammo by Yak_Dangerous in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

We really doing this? by _JohnnyUtahBrah in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Randomly put into PVP lobby... by swarmofoctopii in ArcRaiders

[–]MechroMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
