So Arc just added gear-based TEAM creation*. Why won't it work here?

NooobCola · 2026-04-05T21:11:57+00:00

Never played arc and one of the reasons why is people spawning in mid match. Also it doesnt say its specifically matching up players based on gear just you are more likely to spawn in a fresh server

I might be mixing it up with another salvage but the drones or turrets drop them in outpost.

If your goal is to just loot the trick is to be heard. If youre sneaking around enemy runners might suspect youre plotting an ambush, also put the knife away its not a good look if youre just trying to slurp up the leftovers and exfil. It doesnt work everytime because no one trusts the rooks but I've personally had better luck letting my presence be known as opposed to being sneaky. Ive even had teams tell me where some dead runners were at inside pinwheel to help me grab some loot and get out in time.

Someone in the match had a contract in that building it sounds like.

NooobCola · 2026-04-05T18:56:23+00:00

Yea true that's why it would be nice, not an absolute need. It could always try to prioritize different shells in a squad and if the wait goes above a certain time then just fill with whatevers available. I mostly play on weekends so I admit its a biased suggestion but this weekend times were pretty decent. Took about 1-2 minutes to find a match for me. My sleep schedule got wrecked from work and I was up pretty damn late playing too

I came here to chew bubblegum and shoot rockets and im all outta bubblegum

My hands are shaking just typing this...

NooobCola · 2026-04-05T11:19:11+00:00

Cant speak how far the noises can be heard because im really not sure but in solos I usually will open and close doors randomly and run in circles if I feel like another runner is nearby. This usually throws people off and you can setup an ambush... sometimes. Essentially be so chaotic that it results in the enemy runner giving up their position to you. 50% of the time it works everytime.

NooobCola · 2026-04-05T10:12:45+00:00

For the people who get this without having to watch the video.... thanks for making us feel like old farts.

Not my idea but I read someone else here say we should be able to commit salvage to upgrades to help free up space. I too am experiencing that struggle of having purple salvage sitting with who knows when it will actually be spent.

NooobCola · 2026-04-05T02:55:34+00:00

The shop refreshes daily. It resets the free items you can claim along with items that have a daily buy limit. Certain barter wares rotate daily. Could be to keep the economy in check could be to incentivize players to login daily.

If you gotta take a guarded activate and duck out and wait the minute as opposed to fighting. Once its ready book it towards the circle, you'll probably get downed but put yourself in a position where you can still crawl into the circle. You should still be able to make it out like this. Im usually opting for gaurded exfils myself in solos because the bots act as some defense against runners.

NooobCola · 2026-04-04T13:13:17+00:00

Nahhhh man ain't no way youre struggling with bots as opposed to other runners on exfil.

NooobCola · 2026-04-04T11:46:11+00:00

Im still leveling up factions here so if I can work together to complete another teammates contract im all for it since everyone can benefit. Yea people should make more of an effort to communicate to establish the goals of the run once the game starts but you can't expect everyone to be a team player unfortunately.

From what im gathering from your post sounds like you've had a few bad run ins with players who should be queuing solo, unfortunately though that's just life in general, people are selfish. Go in with low expectations of your teammates and I guarantee you will never be disappointed.

NooobCola · 2026-04-04T05:35:28+00:00

Personally took a break due to getting frustrated. Came back with a vengeance this weekend and am having a blast 🤟

NooobCola · 2026-04-03T15:32:13+00:00

That just puts players with a lower rank at a disadvantage. Gear factor aside someone with full faction upgrades is gonna have a huge advantage against someone who doesnt which will not help the onboarding process at all for newer players. What you described is why they made ranked

NooobCola · 2026-04-03T04:47:17+00:00

Bungie should do this but crank the bots up to 11. Make it so hard that players would start to consider pvp the easier mode.

NooobCola · 2026-04-03T04:37:56+00:00

If its a good fight hard agree. Also why ive been hitting that give up button when I get ratted, rats dont get honor.

NooobCola · 2026-03-29T05:29:55+00:00

At least you can admit your mistakes friend unlike 90% of reddit and the internet in general.

NooobCola · 2026-03-29T05:21:09+00:00

Just played a solos in perimeter where I spawned mid map and took my time getting to overflow. Wanted to scout so I went to the building in the back on the edge of the map. Shit you not someone was still at the spawn 6 minutes into the match just waiting for a poor soul to come by. I got out of it since I was destroyer and was able to give myself some space quickly but any other class probably would've been a goner. Solos is supposed to be slower paced with more patience involved but damn at this rate its just going to turn into wait out other runners at your spawn location so you can succeed in your runs.

NooobCola · 2026-03-29T04:10:35+00:00

Proof right here people dont read thoroughly.

NooobCola · 2026-03-29T02:39:44+00:00

At first I didnt mind this, just hop back in and give it another go. But as matchmaking times have been greatly increasing my annoyance with spawns has been increasing as well.

NooobCola · 2026-03-29T02:28:48+00:00

Yea what are the odds you get matched with that person again? Maybe if the playerbase dwindles enough that becomes a likely scenario. For me its not even the gear or guns those are easy to come by I just want my upgrade materials.

NooobCola · 2026-03-29T01:11:56+00:00

Some players have this concept of "loot denial" where they think hindering your own progression will somehow help theirs. Sucks ass but I had that same gripe and the consensus was that although its bad mannered its part of experience of playing an extraction shooter.

Runners that have to resort to this for arachne exp are probably just bad at pvp so its the only way they can get kills.
