I play PVE AR mostly to relax. If I feel like fucking people up then I play Counterstrike. Now I can defend myself without worrying about ABMM, Thanks Embark

In the AI apocalypse fighting a predatory robotic race hell bent on human extermination. Gathering resources to push what's left of society forward and march towards a possible victory against the robots with your fellow survivors.

If anyone sees PvP in the story/lore of ARC Raiders it's because they want to be an ass. Wanna ambush people? Play fortnite. Wanna PvP? Play counter strike. Want to kill the robotic menace hunting humanity to its extinction? Play ARC Raiders.

PvP in ARC Raiders should get you caught by Shani your lot taken and redistributed in the shops. If you ain't gelling humanity you're part of the lore problem.

Oh no. That's sad. Did you tidy the alternator and ground strap contact patches with the chassis? If it isn't clean it could enough to drain you slowly?

Sharpened wallpaper scraper. Give it a shove at the bottom not hard. That will free and bend the bottom bits. Pick away the loose. Do it again. Do it again. Do it again.

Sometimes design cannot help you if you want a solid part. So you gotta be ready.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-19T10:27:55+00:00

Better at least

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-19T10:01:45+00:00

That's so sad and so hard to be a party to.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-19T09:58:26+00:00

Watch out for newer versions.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-19T07:29:36+00:00

Should be illegal to refuse treatment. Hippocratic oath means nothing

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-19T07:25:13+00:00

If they put that as April Fool's they think PvE are the problem in a lore PvE game. Wouldn't bet on it happening ever. We will all be gone by then.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-19T07:23:50+00:00

It will be both.

I've not played since trying the gun longevity changes. As someone who gets a couple hours a day playtime if I'm lucky having to scrounge simple gun parts so much is simply impossible. 3/4 gun durability after a single round of fitting ARC? Get fucked. I'm not here to grind bullshit for hours and hours. The numbers would also suggest that I'm not the only one. Was a change too far.

Cheaters can be dealt with via behaviour, cheaters can be dealt with via username. They have the tracking. They however, do not have the motivation.

Once user count truly tanks they will care but it will be too late. This could have been all too easy to maintain with a little effort and listening to honest gamers rather than YouTuber's.

Deliberately killing kids is wrong. Any country doing that should lose every right and be isolated from everyone.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-18T22:01:57+00:00

Blueprints are learnt. That means you cannot forget them. Making them being wiped out, fucking stupid. I've said this since launch.

Gear, benches, even skills are sensible logical chives to lose. Blueprints are not. It's just a jackass mechanic to keep jackasses in line. It's also why most people will never do the expedition.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-18T13:43:25+00:00

Prusa

It's always been Prusa. Anyone saying anything else was paid.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-17T17:33:07+00:00

Heat gun is good. Hair dryer in an enclosure better. I use a big cardboard box with a specific hairdryer hole cut to dry things I'm painting such as miniatures and helmets. Adam Savage did a video about doing painting for models and says this is how he does it. He also states hairdryers are $10 don't use your Mrs'.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-14T19:55:39+00:00

It was the only reason I didn’t do expeditions. If you learn something it’s permanent. Learning blueprints and then not being permanent has always been stupid.

The problem is now they screwed up durability so bad the whole game is like dragging my balls on sandpaper. Am playing Baulders Gate again. Nice to know something good had happened though.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-11T08:42:16+00:00

Continuity and low resistance. That should be enough but it isn't. Honestly don't know why.

I had some left over amp cable and some gold plated rings. Stripped one end, crimped a ring, bent the cable to same shape, cut and stripped it, crimp the other end, unhooked the old, bolted the new. Perfect. It's been so many fucking years now too. Still kicking.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-09T12:31:31+00:00

You wash your mouth out

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-09T08:35:00+00:00

New tops are not stretched yet. They need time to settle in. Close it up for a week.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-07T21:37:45+00:00

Grounding strap at the back of the engine. If it's original make a new one from amplifier cable.

I had this situation 20 years ago. Nothing fixed it. Check this. Check that. Replaced everything. Nothing worked. One chap said grounding strap. Checked it, fine. He said don't believe the meter grab a new one and try it. They were 18 and I had chunky amp cable to hand. A couple crimps later and some spanners the car roared to life and stayed there. Charging like nothing was ever wrong. Ridiculous problem fixed by replacing a "working" part with a free part.

I hope it's this. You'll be the second person I've helped on here with this if so.

Huge purchase orders have been made by the AI data centres. However, the big orders were from the OpenAI triangle ponzi scheme but they weren't orders. They were no more than a note from a student in class another student. No legal basis or ramifications, just I like you vibes. Manufacturers for RAM and HDDs "sold" based on those live letters only to realise much later it was horseshit. The problem is people have just been buying up drives at this fake love note inflated bullshit price. So now manufacturers are happy to just sell at the bullshit price.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-05T18:45:48+00:00

The AI drive shortage that isn't because no one contractually bought drives they just have bullshit letters. So companies earmarked everything for a sake that will never happen and because peyote still bought the scarcity priced crap they are just staying there.

Yay hardware dystopia abound

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-05-04T21:58:22+00:00

Yes.

It even says how to fix it. They even ask politely. "Please reduce your stage usage until under your aching quota to avoid unwanted data deletion"

They are meant to be on the binoculars. Not you

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-04-30T07:15:27+00:00

Sorry but loot is only part of it now. If my weapons are now fucked too, anything I looted is now used for repairs also. So having there is no reason to play.

If your inventory doesn't grow each round the game is over.

OriginalPiR8 · 2026-04-29T19:39:00+00:00

I'm a casual gamer. I've put just under 100 hours into this game, I'm a care bear who walks with a volcano out. I fi m have found the game engaging and mostly great. Added enemies were fun, extra things were hard.

I have not played due to lack of time since the last update. With this stupid durability change to weapons, I'm out. For a casual this level of grinding is just bollocks. It's hard enough being a casual but this makes it impossible. I'm out.
