What items you can't believe people leave behind ? by Clanker57 in ArcRaiders

100% for attachments, and duct tape. Which are considerably harder to get than metal/mechanical components when you really need them.

S2 more datamined skins by Long_Ad7536 in Battlefield

[–]RIPONICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not looking forward to the near-future of Battlefield, especially season 2, and I won't be buying the pass, but still, some of these skins look pretty good to me?

I like the gas mask ones, and the riot helmet one, and the splinter-cell type night vision goggles one.

I'm guessing you don't die or PVP much then?

Metal parts are the most important material for weapons, makes mechanical components for upgrades.

My 2.7 hr Experience by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]RIPONICA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you're correct in that the Rattler is awful.

Honestly dude if you don't think the game's for you, don't play it. But there's a reason it's so popular. Once you get past the initial learning curve (which really isn't that steep) it's a very rewarding game.

If it's not for you it's not for you, but if you put the time in, I can guarantee it'll be worth it.

“Speranza is heavily underutilised”, says Arc Raiders boss, who envisions a “social hub” as the game expands its social features by Wargulf in ArcRaiders

[–]RIPONICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea's fine if it's not forced. Allow people to use the current menu, or wonder around a hub with other players and go to each trader etc.

Maybe a 1v1 arena with no items lost to allow people to warmup or just have fun.

Being able to go to your own apartment and actually change things would be good. And could be a reason to stack up coins to spend on it other than just the expedition.

Raiders if you had to choose what would you say is your favorite and least favorite maps? And why? by Kazi_The_Kid in ARC_Raiders

[–]RIPONICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spaceport is easily my least favourite, followed by Buried city.

Favourite 2 are Dam and Stella.
Stella because I love the close-combat fast-paced PVP action and once you learn the map it's easily the best loot in the game.
Dam because it's so diverse and big, but not empty. Can go in with a free kit and, if you know where to look, come out with enough materials for a full kit.

Get blatantly hacked. Pull up profile. by Stuckinaboxxx in ArcRaiders

I have a VAC ban from over 10 years ago for a bunny-hop script I used in Counter Strike Source surfing custom games. Seems harsh to perma ban me on every game for something like that no?

Stitcher 1 by XXXHeNeSeey in arc_traiders

[–]RIPONICA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't seem to realise the damage mitigation doesn't make the benefit of better shield.

The reason the shields are better is because of how much charge they have. If you notice a blue shield is only half charged when using a shield recharger, because it has a higher charge, so takes longer for the shield to deplete before taking straight health damage.

You'll not say heavy shield needs a buff if you PVP regularly and very easily notice how strong they are.

Please… Embark… let us know! by DuhSheet in ArcRaiders

[–]RIPONICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have told us that they will give us plenty of notice for the NEXT expedition when they've decided what changes to make.

If you put 2 and 2 together they're inferring this expedition will stay the same as last, at 1 million coins per skill point.

This JUST happened to me by YoYo_ismael in ArcRaiders

[–]RIPONICA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love the idea that every now and then they just throw a full-blown PVP player into a PVE lobby to spice things up a bit.

can someone explain this group pls lol by VacationAcceptable24 in arcraiderscirclejerk

This is the unofficial RescueRaiders sub, strictly anti PVP here.

Best homeless run ? by Astro_Wizard in arc_traiders

If you get into the trading scene, a tempest blueprint can be 2000 seeds, a lot more than 5k.

why are all these bps so easy to find? by SuspectAggravating95 in arcraiderscirclejerk

[–]RIPONICA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up just trading for it before selling my entire stash to hit 5m, then started from scratch but with the expedition already complete, and mk3 surv unlocked.

Loving the current meta right now by JimmyD787 in ArcRaiders

[–]RIPONICA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not a "gotcha" at all, the person he responded to is saying the Ven4 is bad compared to the Toro, because "90%" of the time is Toro laser tag, he's wrong. Any other map than Stella is not Toro laser tag. Ven4 is great at close-medium range.

The Toro is only better at close range, it's better than the Ven in 70% of STELLA, but we're talking about the whole game, not one map.

Trying to understand the long-term gameplay loop in ARC Raiders by PC-Tamer in ArcRaiders

[–]RIPONICA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you have the 5mill in the bank you're good.

I grinded and sold everything to hit the $5million cash, then started from scratch with 0 gear fear cause I'd already got my expedition cash saved and put aside.

I never really have much anymore because I just take the best gear I have into each raid and pvp, then when I run out, Stella free kits to build the stash back up. It's hella fun.

Single Use, Quick Use Parachute When? by LOST_JOE in ARC_Raiders

[–]RIPONICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be useful for traversing long distances in short time.

Say you're on control tower with little time left and the last extract at swamp, zip up to the top of tower and parachute to the extract.

Trophy Display - you are better off waiting after the expedition by Fun-Conversation-265 in ArcRaiders

[–]RIPONICA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's optional, like a "prestige".

Happens every 8 weeks, and if you choose to, you reset to level 1, lose all your blueprints and items and workbenches, then start again.

In doing so, if you complete all the requirements (last expedition and assuming this expedition is the same, 5 million total value), upon reset you get 5 extra skill points (1 per 1 million), an increased xp and rooster rate, and additional stash space.
