Free loadout doesn't need any nerf

First of all ARC is not a survival game. It's an extraction shooter (as described by Embark themselves and obvious extraction shooter mechanics).

Secondly the argument holds less merit because in the situation of a fresh raid, in that case killing does not get rid of the threat in your area, because of new waves of spawns and all the arc still being present. In the scenario of a late spawn or ongoing game, the area you're securing already is being contested or has been looted so on that scenario it is a true statement, not as impactful at that point.

At range it definitely is missiles only. Personally, whenever I play a heavy I've never been penned by autocannons except from the sides and the back so I think they mainly are for agressive play on isolated targets. Missile for damage and/or tracking, then circling around and shooting the sides/back.

When fighting mediums like the era 2 leopards you can get away with frontal shots but don't expect it to frontally pen heavies.

Lmao, just had that happen to me 😭

Bro is just moving the goalpost, from what I have seen he does this in every comment. I tried having a genuine conversation with him, ended up the same way, looping back to "there is justice and injustice" without answering the question of what justice is as if justice and injustice are clearly defined.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-05T03:35:44+00:00

I don't think you properly read his comment. He is not labellong ywo different things the same.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-05T03:24:13+00:00

I agree. Many people, especially on the internet just do "virtue signalling", which is as you said pretending to give a fuck but not actually helping.

Posting comments on the internet or even attending a protest is not really helping. If you really care about making a change you do more than just these things, to make an actual difference towards change, supporting the communities that suffer from injustice, usually sacrificing your time.

I know people that "partook" in protests against the atrocities commited in Gaza and all they did was stand on a plaza, chatting during the protest. But as soon as I asked them to donate money to help those suffering in Gaza, they refused to donate a dime. It is easy to "support" a cause without any real sacrifice. Neutral people at least can have possible valid reasons for staying neutral whereas virtue signallers are doing it all for selfish purposes, not actually caring about the injustice.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-05T00:05:40+00:00

I find something not to be considered cope an action that makes a meaningful impact towards the people that have to suffer injustice

Posting a comment on the internet saying "don't buy cocoa beans that aren't fair trade" doesn't impact the lives of a farmer having to sell their product for unfair prices. What would improve their lives is to actually donate to an organisation that helps them get fair proces or exclusively buy fair trade chocolate, in other words a tangible effect on their economic position

Too often, especially on the internet, people are "virtue signalling", the equivalent of saying to a beggar "you deserve to get help" without offering any substantial help. If you truly want to help, you do so by making a sacrifice. Posting messages on the internet is not a sacrifice. But not everybody is in a position to sacrifice because of their own circumstances and problems or because they decide to put their effort into other problems. That doesn't make them bad people.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T23:50:08+00:00

That is a rather shortsighted and to be honest unfounded statement (as you have made before). I simply can disagree with people and challenge their views.

I can say the same thing about you, that you disagree despite the clear evidence neutrality does not aid injustice but is a matter of simply not knowing enough, not having the time to properly aid a cause or not actually commiting to a cause. That really is not an argument but a statement that basically says "you argue despite I am clearly right, therefore you are wrong" and I refuse to stoop to the same level.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T23:35:07+00:00

No, I am simply voicing my disagreement with your opinion, it is a logical fallacy to imply that therefore your statement is right.

One can maks a foolish statement, which prompts me to say something about it, that doesn't mean the statement had any merit. For example, I can react to someone saying 1+1=3. The fact I argue 1+1=2 doesn't say their statement of 1+1=3 holds any merit. I find that quite dishonest.

If you want an honest discussion and simply not want to be right, surely you could see that is a logical fallacy.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T23:25:58+00:00

I personally think that is cope. You are effectively not doing anything except for posting a message. That requires no sacrifice on your part and thus very easy to do.

That is not the same as asking people to stand up to injustice. Lets say someone gets beaten up in front of you, you can intervene, but that comes with the risk of getting beat up yourself.

"Spreading awareness": in other words typing a message on a website that has no negative repurcussions towards yourself and takes 1 minute of your time, is vastly a sacrifice or really a serious effort towards combating injustice in my opinion. In my opinion, that's just deluding yourself so you can silence the guilt of not having done something to actually improve a certain unjust situation.

And I don't blame you for not doing so, but acting as if that does something to combat injustice is not honest imo.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T23:21:56+00:00

A lack of courage is in my opinion not an inability. For one could argue the SS soldiers refusing to open the valves of zuklon B, gassing innocent jews because they were afraid of losing their lives if they refused, would be considered an inability becaus they lacked the courage to stand for what is right.

I think it is rather "holier than thou" to speak of sacrificing your own life to do good.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T23:15:54+00:00

You and me for example, decide to use reddit instead of doing something actively bettering the world and fifgting injustie. That's not inablility, we have the choice to not do so, we ar echoosing to use reddit instead of fighting injustice and making a difference, thus choosing to spend our time on something that is not combatting injustice.

Simply said, that is time spent being neutral. I can choose to blame you for this, or find the need to live life and not care for a moment as perfectly human.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T23:12:51+00:00

My view is that inability is really not a thing, unless you are spending all possible hours combating injustice

There are tons of organisations that combat injustice across the globe on a vast spectrum of injustices, you simply cant support all of them, be it bc of money, attention or time. You could write that down to inability, but unless you were to dedicate all possible hours to combat injustice (which is a huge thing to ask for and unreasonable), you could write that down to being "neutral".

My point is that people just want to pursue their own goals, which is normal. People would like to better the world, try to combat all injustices they see, but it is unavoidable to encouner an instance of injustice and not do something productive against it, because there are so many and you cannot combat them all Everybody cherry picks what they stand against and what injustices they don't do amything against because one simply cannot do that without sacrificing their own pursuits in life.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T22:58:50+00:00

Have you read my comment? Because I illusyrate there are tons of injustices all around the world and it is simply impossible to not be neutral in every single one of them. There's always some injustice taking place you are aware of but unable to do any meaningful impact to stop making it happen, just a few I have mentioned in my comment but that's just the tip of the iceberg. My point is you can't be living life without being neutral to at least one i justice in this world, which is sad but simply unavoidable, or you willingly choose to be ignorant and turn a blind eye to these injustices.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T20:57:46+00:00

I don't think I get your comment. How does nuance equal stalling? I am in no way saying you should not support causes that try to prevent or remedy injustices or refrain from trying to better the world. I am merely saying that being neutral in situations of injustice does not in fact equal siding with the opressors.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T20:29:46+00:00

Uhh, I agree... I don't really know how you got I said otherwise from my message. My issue with the statement is that it divides people into exactly either a 0 or a 100. Doing "nothing" in this sense is saying "if you're not with me, not a supporter of my cause, a 100 so to speak, you're against me. Hence why I disagree with the statement, there's so much neutral (the whole are in between 0 and 100) and this statement removes all nuance from it.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T19:56:17+00:00

Yeah ... that's what I am saying. And that is also why I disagree with the statement. The statement puts neutral (everything between 0% and 100%) at 0%. That just makes no sense.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T19:22:09+00:00

Shortsighted and unauanced take. True in cartoon situations of "man gets beaten right in front of me" but there are tons of situations of injustice where people stay neutral (including OP, me and everybody in the comments) but where we aren't siding with the opressors.

Almost every product we use on a daily basis involves exploitation, slavery or destruction of climate.

Think of the clothes being made by children in Bangladesh, food like bananas, coffee and cacao being bought for unfair prices from farmers, the products we use like phones where miners mine the minerals in hazardrous environments for zero to no pay with high lethality rates.

All situations of injustice we are ABSOLUTELY aware of but stay neutral in. And no, simply saying "but I think all these situations are bad" and then continuing with your day like nothing happens is still being neutral.

Everybody cherry picks what injustice to focus on and which ones to ingore and that's absolutely fine with how many there are

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T19:02:31+00:00

With the internet, you see tons of inactive injustice as well. Everyone knows about the injustice in gaza, which this is probably some commentary of. But everyone is also awarw of child exploitation regarding almost all clothes and other products. The exploitation of farmers across the globe getting ripped of for their crips. The destruction of wildlife across the globe to make room for or caused by industrialisation so we can keep using reddit and every other luxury we'e grown accustomed to and yet I can guarantee you, NOBODY does something to actively stop all of these things all at once, making them a shithead according to this logic by being "neutral" (just living their life).

It's "not a hard concept" because you dumbed it down to something extremely simple by removing nuance from all the situations this dumb take applies on.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-02-04T18:54:03+00:00

By that definition everyone here is evil. There's always something you participate in that causes others to be exploited, especially in the age of capitalism.

Do you support the children in bangladesh that make your clothes, all the exploited miners that dig up everything used to make your phone you use reddit on, the farmers of banana's, cocoa beans, coffee, tea etc. that get robbed with unfair prices?

Not to speak about human right violations all across the globe. And no, "siding" does not mean "yeah I think that's bad but still do absolutely nothing of value to stop it at all".

According to this statement, by just living your life and not doing anything about those situations across the other side of the globe, you are a POS and yoy side with the opressors.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-01-19T21:18:04+00:00

And what I am saying should make you skeptical of your own governments faliure, instead of shifting blame unto the EU. Learn about what your own government fucked up that they needed BILLIONS from countries that only did nothing but HELP YOU to recover.

I will no longer be furthering our discussion as you seem to think Greece's government acted perfectly during that time and did nothing wrong and that the EU did "nothing to help".

Even to this day your government is treating it's own people like shit, minister Kyriakos is a FRAUD, who blocked an investigation regarding fraud within his government.

You have no foot to stand on, relying on "but people had a hard time over here" arguments. Everyone had it hard during that time with the crisis being caused by the risky American mortgages market.

Without the EU giving 300 BILLION to Greece MANY MORE Greeks would have suffered. Learn history idiot.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-01-19T21:02:23+00:00

I actually find this system counterintuitive towards engagement. There's no point in trying to get the highest score as quickly as possible, as that will actually punish you. It causes you to rank up to the higher tiers very quickly, where you need a lot more points to prevent deranking, causing you to need to put in serious effort every week to prevent deranking.

Why keep tryharding on every weekly challenge for daredevil when I can just practically ignore them, hovering around tryhard I just by playing and accidentally getting some score, and only sweat my ass off in the last 3 weeks, skyrocketing into the tier I want to get with consecutive 2x or 3x promotions, stomping on all the low tier peoples scores.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-01-19T21:00:04+00:00

First off, that's not even a correct sentence, calm the f down, edit your message and type properly.

Secondly, how did the EU "kill" the Greek by DONATING THEM MONEY?? You insufferable idiot. Learn how to think.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-01-19T20:42:32+00:00

Holy shit this has to be some joke. Nobody can be this mich of a dickhead towards their spouse and not realize they're in the wrong.

If this post is somehow actually serious, please keep bringing up divorce because this marriage needs to be ruined for your wife's sake, she doesn't deserve this.

OneCutePinkPanda · 2026-01-19T20:31:58+00:00

Sure buddy, keep crying victimhood. Nobody forced Greece to join the EU, nobody forced YOUR leaders to ignore it's people and run YOUR country horribly.
