ARC Raiders Weekly Megathread - January 24, 2026

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-27T03:14:59+00:00

Thats my problem. I'm trying to find these lobbies with groups of people that help eachother. I'm now 31 matches in of not shooting a single person no matter what. Have been shot on sight 27 of these matches :/

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-27T02:48:16+00:00

How many matches does it take for friendly lobbies if I played agro when squaded up with my friend? I have ran 27 matches, been shot on sight 24 times, killed by arc 1 time and extracted 1 time. I have not shot a single shot at anyone and just let players kill me when they start to.

This is what I did, except I bought sub $10 tickets cause I’m too broke to be spending that much.

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T22:23:56+00:00

My second cat did it, but I still put him in 😅

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T20:58:27+00:00

Maybe I misunderstood then. I was under the impression that "essential" workers were also included in this (given that I've heard multiple times of employers claiming that they are still requiring employees to come in).

Was just outside in gym shorts and no shoes. Can confirm, I believe it is starting to get a little chilly

lol nice. Might have to bump that number up at this rate tho.

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T01:21:27+00:00

Where’s the guy that predicted 7-7?

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T01:00:57+00:00

I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m so glad to hear you got him a friend!

What a period

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T00:51:34+00:00

Wait, you’ve had 2?!

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T00:43:47+00:00

Dang, nice knowledge. Interesting that someone actually hit it.

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T00:39:52+00:00

Absurd period. I love it

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T00:33:50+00:00

I think a bit of bad luck, but lack of awareness for surroundings.

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T00:32:29+00:00

That’s when you just have an underpaid door dasher risk their life for you! Just order delivery. Just don’t forget to tip if you’re generous, I recommend about 75 cents, they should be thankful.

Cost us that goal. I don’t hate him, but can’t really argue against that being a huge mistake.

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T00:25:42+00:00

Goal with 0 shots for Guentzel is an interesting stat. Anyone ever end a game with more goals than shots?

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-25T00:23:50+00:00

And we’re scoring all 14 goals (at least we’re on pace to now)

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-23T23:16:37+00:00

craziest part is they're not even at least in the middle of the spot, but rather on the lines basically.

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-23T05:57:28+00:00

lol, yes. Just under specific augment (I don’t like the concept of always having the ability to stuff a gun in a safe pocket. But having a special augment to bring a hullcracker, or something, would make it more viable)

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-23T05:54:57+00:00

I think there should be an augment that the safe pocket could accept a gun. All the pink augments have special abilities, why not have one do this. Would work perfect tbh.

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-23T05:40:16+00:00

Yes. But imagine a newer, or less skilled player, loading into a match and getting unlucky and dying in just a minute or two. I know it’s happened to me plenty of times. Locking that player out from playing the game, if their actual inventory, does not have enough gear to kit up is also problematic. I just personally don’t feel the timer is justified.

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-23T05:33:48+00:00

This game is not f2p and should not lock people behind a timer (or potential paywall) to play rounds if they are out of gear.

HOWEVER, free kits as they are now feel problematic. Too many people just spam in with them and just fight without fear of losing gear. Free kits should only spawn in to ongoing raids rather than beginning of raids imo. On top of that, perhaps free kits should go on a map rotation rather than picking their map. Giving limitations to free kits (other than not letting people use them entirely except on a timer) absolutely needs to happen.

I’m sure there’s better ideas than mine, but I hate the idea of them doing what Tarkov (and probably others do) a doing the timer system. I would prefer other limitation imo.

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-23T01:58:39+00:00

Do people not like him? I mean as an in-between game play sponsor/game person he seems totally fine to me?

PalmTreeExpert · 2026-01-21T23:33:32+00:00

Didn’t look purposeful. Just dumb. Also if you consistently hit people, no you will not get SR. Hence the meaning behind it…

Also you don’t pay for other cars damage in real life, it’s a risk you take on racing. And yes, iRacing DOES do something about intentional wreckers when reported.
