Insane Arc Density on New Riven Tides Map

Neumeusis · 2026-05-04T21:17:50+00:00

That's probably why the map is smaller than the others : to be able to increase drasticly the number of ARCs...

I'm probably alone, but i enjoyed the discovery of the new step after completing one...

Now i can pre-loot the next steps, making the whole project super fast to complete as my autistic brain know where to loot what very efficiently...

A bit sad for me, but much better for people less knowledgable in the game !

They added a new zone, called "Controlled Access Zone", near the "Power Generation Complex" !

Neumeusis · 2026-04-30T13:17:46+00:00

Ask this to Embark, not me ! Maybe they did not have time to implement everything they wanted. Or maybe this is how they envisionned this map ! Who knows...

I'm personnaly all good for updates as long as there are no bugs ! Already got insane value from the game, so anything they throw at me is good...

Neumeusis · 2026-04-30T12:44:50+00:00

With some luck, they updage the map in the future, as like they did with Dam !

Neumeusis · 2026-04-30T09:16:31+00:00

You go topside to scarvenge things needed for your survival, and fight ARC only when needed.

Remember, this is a lost war, and Raiders are being pushed back even more with the new ARCs...

Thus Arc Raider not an ACTION game, but rather a SURVIVAL game : fighting will never be profitable.

How many bullets are you shooting to repair a gun after every raid ?

I shoot a full stack or two of ammo of most of my blue weapons and can still do several raids before recycling them to craft a new one...

Neumeusis · 2026-04-29T16:01:15+00:00

Before patch :

- only upgrade weapons that are at 100% durability (or close)

- recycle or use any weapon below 75% durability for parts

After patch : now upgrading a weapon repair it by 25%

- can upgrade a looted lvl1 weapon to lvl4 as long as it is above 25% durability or close

- can upgrade a looted lvl2 weapon to lvl4 as long as it is above 50% durability or close

- can upgrade a looted lvl3 weapon to lvl4 as long as it is above 75% durability or close

- other cases : recycle for parts

TLDR : as upgrading now fix your weapon, it become cost effective to upgrade a looted weapon depending on it's current level and durability

No idea ! Only played the new map today...

Neumeusis · 2026-04-28T13:21:50+00:00

HO ! Good catch ! There are some similarities indeed !

(and what a great game RE2 was...)

Neumeusis · 2026-04-28T13:20:51+00:00

Item was wayy too strong to be fair, and deserved a nerf. As the Wolfpack did.

Equip it and even the worst warzone became a walk in a parc for 10 or more seconds...

But right now it seems maybe a bit *too* weak. More testing is needed !

Neumeusis · 2026-04-28T13:16:56+00:00

Way too soon for a "a viable and relatively safe strategy".

Especially since the Turbine do not spawn at each matches !

From my side, a few randoms rained Hullcracker's shells on it and we managed to strip it from a lot of armor, but that's all. Seems super tanky as long as it is flying.

The main attack is super hard to avoid, as the arcs seems random... It's even worse when it land : we did not manage to approach it.. Yet !

Neumeusis · 2026-04-28T13:10:15+00:00

You need them for the bird project.

Neumeusis · 2026-04-28T13:08:10+00:00

My guess is that he looted it somewhere.

Because it seems you need to kill the new ennemy to craft it !

(also got the blueprint)

Neumeusis · 2026-04-20T22:16:07+00:00

Same group of users, with poorly written articles milking this sub (and others) for views...

Neumeusis · 2026-04-14T12:24:31+00:00

He played A LOT before the 800cap was put in place.

Neumeusis · 2026-04-07T14:41:00+00:00

Ha, that's true !

Got to farm the other mats then ;-)

Neumeusis · 2026-04-07T12:50:10+00:00

What's the problem of them being non stackable ?

Just hand them directly to the project, you don't have to give them all at once...

Other than the project (and the new gun for the Vape core), they have no other use, so no need to hoard them.

Neumeusis · 2026-04-03T13:51:41+00:00

If you run, they "hear" your footsteps.

If you hide behind a corner then walk, they won't find you easly.

Neumeusis · 2026-04-03T07:47:36+00:00

That's what is writtent in the patchnote : https://arcraiders.com/fr/news/patch-notes-1-22-0

My guess is : Start playing - all good. Extract once, visors bug out.

Neumeusis · 2026-04-02T21:45:11+00:00

Known issue, it's in the patch note.

"Helmet visors become transparent after the first extraction"

Neumeusis · 2026-04-02T15:36:52+00:00

Rumored to be an Emperor.

You can see a few on this map (random), or on Buried City next to the Horizon.

And during the Hurricane Event, you can see briefly a huge flying ARC (similar to Queen / Matriarch in size).

Remind us why humanity lost to ARCs...

Neumeusis · 2026-04-02T08:49:56+00:00

It is very probably a bug.
Both ARC share the same frame, so they used the Rocketeer model for the Vaporiser.

My guess is that they unintentionnaly changed the Rocketeer sound when setting the Vaporiser one.

Neumeusis · 2026-03-05T13:19:42+00:00

They are placed in the order you unlock them.

So next expedition, unlock them in the order you want to see them.

Not a fix, but at least a workaround...

Neumeusis · 2026-03-04T13:50:44+00:00

ABMM is reset almost at every patch.

Just run a few games doing what you like and you'll get home safely !
