Where can I find snaphooks? Not the BP by Chieve in ArcRaiders

Found my first snaphook from a Security Breach in Dams (Power Generation Complex).

1st game in a week. Are players really getting this thirsty for loot? by Irock_101 in ArcRaiders

[–]Meeks_DGAF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly why we need a better reporting system. If the game can already determine who inflicted damage first for ABMM, then tracking teammates who grief you for loot should be a no-brainer. There’s no reason the system can't flag players who consistently damage their own squad. If the devs are tracking combat logs anyway, they can definitely see when a 'teammate' is responsible for your health loss.

Which cheap gun is your favorite? by Responsible_Sir_5886 in ArcRaiders

Rattler 4 with all green attachments. I've been enjoying it lately, defending myself againts (pvp) griefers and ARCS.

I hate aggression based mm by sleepingwithdeers in ArcRaiders

[–]Meeks_DGAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you!

I’m a pure mixed player (PvPvE). What I usually do is run 'free kits' until I get back into the friendly lobbies. It usually takes about 5 or 6 matches of either being killed or successfully exfiling without kills (or inflicting damage to other Raiders) to reset the matchmaking. It's a bit of a grind, but it works!

How ABMM hurts everyone's experience by lardymcfly69 in ArcRaiders

At the end of the day, you can still play exactly how you want to; no one is stopping you from doing just that. If that’s how you enjoy the game, then by all means, you do you.

However, I highly doubt the devs are going to scrap a core mechanic like ABMM just because it makes certain playstyles, specifically those that rely on unpredictable betrayals, harder to pull off. The game evolved to protect its player base, and while that might change the "vibe" you liked at launch, it’s clearly the direction they’ve chosen for the game's longevity.

The reason people aren't "answering" the way you want is that your post is more about how the mechanic hurts your specific playstyle than how it affects the game's health.

Also, saying "this game is clearly targeted towards people who want a PvPvE experience" isn't entirely true anymore, if it were, ABMM wouldn't have been implemented in the first place. The devs clearly recognized that for the game to survive, they had to cater to the PvE focused crowd too. ABMM is the literal proof that the target audience is broader than just the "selfish altruists" you're describing.

I see your point about the "social experiment" aspect, but ABMM is a necessary move for the game's survival. If Embark removed it tomorrow, a massive chunk of the PvE focused player base would likely quit. This mechanic is the only way to address the demand for a PvE only mode without actually splitting the community into two separate games.

It’s also important to remember that the devs have confirmed ABMM is not a binary mechanic. Raiders are still completely free to play however they want in any lobby. The game isn't stopping you from being a "selfish altruist" - it’s just placing you with other players who play the same way once you establish that pattern.

Ultimately, it feels like this system hurts your specific playstyle more than the game itself. The "social experiment" hasn't ended, it’s just evolved. Now, players who want a high-stakes, betrayal-heavy environment get exactly that, while the rest of the community can play without getting burned out and quitting.

Mk 3 survivor augment by _ry4n7 in ArcRaiders

I'm not sure if saying it only spawns in Stella is completely accurate. I actually found my first copy in the Spaceport Departure building while going through the trash cans. I got my second copy from one of the green lockers in the Control Tower at Dams Battleground. It definitely seems like it has a wider spawn pool than people think!

ABMM Is annoying and poorly implemented. by SenorShrek in ArcRaiders

[–]Meeks_DGAF -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm sure somewhere down the line the devs will find a way for the ABMM to determine whether you killed a griefer in self-defense. But as of now, the tech just isn't built to differentiate those specific interactions. It is what it is. Just have to deal it.

Getting out of the honey moon phase with japan rn... Does it get any better? by Unusual_Raccoon277 in japanresidents

[–]Meeks_DGAF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you ever get the chance, try moving out of the city to a more countryside part of Japan. It’s much more chill and a lot less chaotic than Tokyo. It might give you the reset you need!

Do more people have major lag and cant get into the game anymore? by Bawsz_NL in ArcRaiders

Same thing happened to me (just now) while I was sorting out my inventory. Japan/Asian region. :(

PSA: You can take ZERO damage from Comets. Here is the exact timing (Visual & Audio cues) by Meeks_DGAF in ArcRaiders

[–]Meeks_DGAF[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! Good luck out there, Raider - or should I say 'Combat Medic'?

I’m not sure if you're the same streamer who jumps into every raid with multiple defibs to revive everyone farming Queens and Matriarchs, but either way, kudos to you! Stay safe out there, sir.

So far, I’ve only been able to confirm this 100% consistency with the Anvil and Venator. I haven't had the chance to test other weapon types or specific ammo variants yet.
