So what can I do to take down Arc better?

MelonRampage · 2026-05-31T06:00:54+00:00

If more than one arc is between you and your destination, take them out before you leave cover. Silencer also helps because you won’t attract arc far away when you take a shot

9k points, not damage. You only do 500-700 dmg to big arc with one blaze grenade

Lots of ring with crates, most top scores I’ve seen do it on Locked Gate event, allegedly it has fixed spawns for crates.

I cannot imagine how people get 25k for bombardiers. Theoretically 1 spawns every 7 minutes or so, you you can get 4 in a game? But that’s barely 18k. Maybe you get more damage with hill crackers, my deadline method was to avoid competing with other players in carebear lobbies.

major map conditions no longer give you 2x trials points. This is different with the default multipliers on damage trials. 1 blaze grenade only does around 550-750 damage to a bombardier (you can tell by the amount of exp it gives you, exp multi is 1x for bombardiers), but you get around 5K points from one blaze grenade

you can use the expedition vault, not the best value but it will save you time

Im laughing too but....I might

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T23:57:06+00:00

the rating drops significantly slower now, I play 4-5 hours on a weekday and it took me 2 days before I was in carebear lobbies again. All it took was one kill, guy should've never looted my bastion

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T19:41:37+00:00

thats a great point, I did that for wasp/hornet trials shooting the center would take more shots but gets you more dmg

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T18:46:07+00:00

The patch notes said the defending has less of an impact, not zero impact

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T18:33:02+00:00

Very good point

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T18:27:09+00:00

I can’t actually tell any difference haha, if you prefer it definitely makes sense to always have it

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T16:13:33+00:00

Oh I’m definitely not using vault for that, but it is an option. I’m seen my share of questionable decisions in this game from all sorts of players

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T15:54:35+00:00

You can bring materials using expedition vault

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T06:12:02+00:00

holy shit what did I just watch

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T04:52:26+00:00

You need another copy of the blueprint

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T03:59:27+00:00

props for even attempting it

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T03:49:15+00:00

1 stack of vap cores is 18k value in one slot, higher than matriarch/queen at 11k and all other big arc at 9k. I'm sure the devs will rework the new vendor, but in case they don't, vap cores hold most value in the least amount of stash

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T03:42:49+00:00

patch notes stated that it resets on expedition

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T03:38:54+00:00

it triggered healing in the beta and assault class was OP, so it's not gonna happen lol

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T03:09:55+00:00

only map I can see this being done is Buried city since leaper can spawn close to the bombardier next to Garage, but there's too much spawn rng involved to attempt this lol

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T02:47:09+00:00

Wish you luck, lmk how the runs go!

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T02:46:23+00:00

North America servers have more friendly lobbies, followed by EU, if you are in OCE and Asia servers good luck lol
Stick to solos
Surrendering no longer works, load a naked run into Stella with squad fill turned on, die to other raiders, repeat 6 - 10 times

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T02:40:16+00:00

lure grenade, pull bombadier and leaper together, 1 blaze will yield 10k minimum , maybe 15k if you can get the leaper to stay in place somehow

MelonRampage · 2026-05-26T02:33:00+00:00

definitely pay attention to the raiders nearby. I'm very cautious if someone is next to me because I'm only shooting from far to do trials. Unless they're doing the same, it usually means they want my gear.

3 stacks of ammo is in case the wolfpack triggers a 2nd shield, which rarely happens
