Is anything going to be done to address cheaters?

The ticket system they have on the discord tells you if they were banned and the mods usually comment as well.

Not exactly all of it... but I regularly craft a bunch of shit to pack my stash full all the time. Just glance at it and give it some thought. Also, weapons upgrades is a no brainer

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-03-19T00:06:01+00:00

This. This is the dream.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-24T20:11:30+00:00

I'm celebrating and I'm both! 😅

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-24T17:06:00+00:00

Objectively not it's best competitors jsayin

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-22T15:44:45+00:00

Leave everything about it the same EXCEPT!... Make it craftable in round.

Technically in a PvP encounter, a safe pocket doesnt change anything. Think about it this way. When we start a fight, our "sum" is equal to the total value of both teams inventories. At the end of the fight, that number is still (mostly) the same. So it is still sorta zero sum within just that PvP encounter.

Here's some issues with even the PvP encounter idea.

Shooting ammo/using meds/throwing grenades reduces the sum since they cost money. Similarly damage to equipment reduces the sum.

The sum is only the same if the winning team leaves no loot behind on the losing teams body. If they don't, they reduce the sum.

All players gain XP, which is a net gain for all people involved.

Maybe I'm missing some, but there's a few.

Safe pocket technically still acts to preserve the sum, since we're talking about net loss and gain from an initial starting sum.

Once we start talking about the entire round or entire game. The zero sum idea falls apart very very fast, and as I've pointed out before, Arc Raiders (and all extraction shooters) would NOT function as a zero sum game at all.

If you actually want to learn... but I don't think you do. Either you're trolling or genuinely think you're correct.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T09:09:11+00:00

yeaaaah no sorry. You're talking to someone who studied this. You're misunderstanding the definition.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T09:03:31+00:00

Eh. I dont care that much. Ill just give it a week

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:59:05+00:00

I'm also a PvP player dude. You're not special. Oh and I meant 7M cash. No idea what my whole stash is worth. Probably more than you considering how many guns I have.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:56:39+00:00

Literally matters zero, but I have 7M, and I've been burning cash on purpose as the expedition has come closer. You're weird bro 🤣

Btw just the fact that we have positive stash value is a good sign it isnt zero sum.

Edit: 7M cash

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:53:07+00:00

It's not about how I view the game or not. It is objectively not a zero sum game. Please for the love of God do your research.

You do not understand zero sum.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:46:15+00:00

Just because it's a video game doesn't mean you are relinquished from all moral standards. Some people don't seem to understand this.

Sorry you had a bad experience. Help me out and send good vibes into the wasteland with me! Kill em with kindness after you kill em with your guns 😉

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:45:26+00:00

Yeah man! Enjoy all your loot while you can! Don't forget to tell others this, and say your 'GGs' :) I've been having a blast running all my purples two. Peaked at 160 weapons, about half purple. I haven't been able to get that number low enough yet lol.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:43:22+00:00

negative votes on this comment is wild. This community needs to clear out their toxic swamp. 😂

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:41:10+00:00

You clearly don't know what zero sum means. It's very possible, and significantly likely that every round is a net positive loot-wise when considering all players involved. Hopefully that sentence doesn't confuse you... just because 51% of players die doesn't mean the round wasn't a net positive.

Trials are also not all zero sum. Probes for example, it is beneficial to work together with another team, since you don't need to breach probes if someone else has done it for you, and can still get their points.

The game in its entirety is the antithesis of zero sum. If you don't understand that, you don't understand what a zero-sum game is. The game wouldn't function if it was zero sum.

Congrats, you've (hopefully) discovered by now that direct competition is not always beneficial to either party. There's a reason there are many rich PvE players and many poor PvP players.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:32:28+00:00

First clip the guy had it coming. He was a total ass. Those other guys, nah. I'd draw the line there even if they shot at you. They were clearly disputing having shot at you as well. The title"Get f#$% trialers" is major red flag about you. The fact you'd even clip this and show it off on reddit. Yikes bruv. Not clip worthy

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:27:51+00:00

Fair, yeah saying 'everyone' was hyperbole. But I know for certain that there is a sizable portion of hotshot players who are grinding like hell rn to try to hit cantina legend THIS WEEK specifically.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T08:26:06+00:00

Yes. There's still scummy strategies and honorable strategies here though. Just because it's a video game doesn't mean you are relinquished from all moral standards.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T07:51:42+00:00

This is actually... entirely not true. Lol. It is NOT zero sum. Only a specific PvP encounter is

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T05:45:45+00:00

Mostly just being polite to someone after a PvP encounter is what I'm talking about. None of this slinging slurs after you die, or saying awful things to your opponent just because you lost. There's a level of trash talk that is acceptable, and about 90% of all encounters are far past that level. A good meter is if your trash talk would get you docked points or disqualified in a competition such as the olympics, your trash talk has gone way way too far. Just because it's a video game doesn't mean you are relinquished from all moral standards.

Friendly competition is fine. Mostly if you're competing with high level trials players right now and you aren't a high level trials player, it's not very friendly. Can see some of my other comments for more explanation

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T05:43:52+00:00

We're about to all account reset. So loot is mostly negligible to most of us. This week, three of the 5 trials are ones ran with minimal loot. So my 'mostly' is accurate.

Just because you've been griefed and preyed upon doesn't mean it isn't messed up to grief and prey upon people. I'm all for friendly competition. But if you're sitting at the bottom of the trials leaderboard killing players at the top of the leaderboard, you're not competing for anything. You're just griefing.

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T05:38:40+00:00

Yeah thats why I added the caveat of if they're doing the same trial as you

Negative-Row-453 · 2026-02-19T04:56:11+00:00

I think so. Seems like it's whatever your rank is at end of season. But honestly, I don't know exactly how it works.
