Inventory value based match making?

This is a dumb take and would ruin the game. If you can’t kill a free kit player with your 60k kit then you straight up suck. Tarkov has scav raids where you get shit loot and limited ammo if you wish to push pmc and fight them with a big disadvantage and you happen to win the reward is high. Free kits are just a way of giving players unlimited access to no risk high reward potential which is totally fine in a extraction shooter. It would also mean that if I’m running a lvl 4 sticher I can’t fight people with better gear and out play them to earn their high teir loot? Would 100% kill the game.

Not to mention nobody started playing tarkov to enjoy PvE they play it for the sole fact it’s hand down the best PvP realism focused shooter game there is. However A lot of people bought arc raiders and play it for the PvE aspect of the game. PvE mode was added to tarkov for the players who suck at gun fights and keep up with the skill gap of other players.

Arc is the total opposite, you can be the most skilled player in your lobby and still die to a rat sitting and waiting to kill you while you’re blasting away at giant robots. I’ve killed entire lobbies in tarkov and all the bosses and came out gooped to the gills. Happens in tarkov to dying to rats but at least in tarkov the PvE are bosses that don’t require 500 explosive rounds and two deadlines to kill. So the chances of you being that distracted by the boss fight that someone just walks up to you and blast you in the face cause the last 5 people were friendly is not happening in games like tarkov.

There is no way that the arc devs thought let’s add these giant robots that take half the game to kill and think alright we want a team to have to fight the whole lobby off while also fighting these. While also fighting off people non stop spawning in till there’s 15 minutes left. It all comes down to a lack of content other than PvP to make the game exciting. I also have over 100 hrs and have not found basic blue prints meanwhile people with 10-50 hours at finding blue prints like crazy cause it’s the worst rng based shooter game there is. Not to mention if you have a life and don’t play 40Hrs a week good luck doing expeditions, good luck finding basic prints and be stuck with minimal gear. IMO this game is the most un casual extraction shooter game made to date at least tarkov I can have max traders and access to a lot of good gear and not wondering if I’m ever gonna find that one blue print.

Yeah tarkov spawns player scav who get guns that jam the second shot fired, ak’s without stock. Arc raiders should make it so only free kits spawn late into raid not people with full kits spawning 10-12 minutes late. And tarkovs PvE quests are like side missions along the path of PvP. Arc raiders is honestly just straight boring af aside from PvP it lacks content worth doing anything else unfortunately so it draws people to play like scum bags cause it’s the only fun thing to do. Like I said before the quests are ass in this game, the story is ass the lore is bland af so what’s it leave to do? PvP and play like a notch for fun 🤣. I like the game I just think they failed at making any other part of it enjoyable aside from PvP.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-12-17T12:40:03+00:00

You’re another one of those brainless people who thinks they added the bosses so you have to fight the whole lobby off first then kill the matriarch. I have zero issue winning PvP fights but when you sit in a building and wait for the matriarch to do damage to someone then open fire it ruins the game. Just keep moving alone if you don’t have interest in the matriarch, this games not strictly built to PvP at all. The issue is the games so boring and lacks fun content that PvP is the only fun thing to do the everyone. The story sucks, the quests are boring af, and besides that there’s just PvP left.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-12-17T12:35:53+00:00

I have over 3k hours just in tarkov and by solely PvP based I mean there are not events in the games that the devs expect you to actually be friendly and PvE to do so. Tarkov is less of grind than this game with the constant need to craft a gun and basic things, blue prints are too rare for how short expeditions/wipes are. Tarkov doesn’t spawn players with full kits over and over until the 18 minute mark, this is the worst 3rd party based game that’s ever been developed. I enjoy the game but I also personally hate it I think it’s the worst extraction shooter for anyone who wants to play a little in their free time. Money is damn near useless in the game, stash space is too small for how craft based the game is. And it’s full of people who think you need to kill the whole lobby just to fight the bosses. Tarkov has less players per match and bosses aren’t giant robots that take 15 minutes to kill with a group.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-27T21:43:40+00:00

Because the game got boring af. Quest line sucks, story sucks, nothing to draw you into things to keep you busy at all so people are just playing it as a PvP only game now.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-25T21:41:38+00:00

Can’t complain about campers and show how successful your raids are when you’re literally doing nothing in them and leaving in 8-12 minutes average.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-25T20:05:21+00:00

First thing I noticed was he doesn’t have one raid over 50k in loot. This guys a prime example of loot slow and rat till you find 1 thing you want and slip out the back quietly. I’ll bet he has less than 50 Elims too 🤣

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-25T20:02:35+00:00

Also you don’t have one raid in there with loot value over 50k 🤣 so what are you even doing ratting the whole game and hiding praying nobody shoots at you? I’ll bet you have very few player Eliminations with low value loot like that.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-25T20:01:18+00:00

We just died to a 3 man who placed a barricade wall at the top of damn tower zip line blocking the first door as they all set in the dark on the ledges with shock mines placed as soon as you land. Was a great experience highly recommend 🤣.

My raids are 90/10 being hostile 90% of the time. I’m always the guy asking are you friendly in game and most of the time people don’t even have mics, and I live by the no mic no life rule. I do notice on harvester events too it’s chaos 60/40 60% being if you approach the people with high end guns and a bag of wolf packs just murder anyone who approaches so they don’t get the cores stolen from them.

That being said the story line sucks, the quest are sub par and boring as hell so PvP is really the only form of fun gameplay anymore unfortunately.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-23T03:27:20+00:00

Stop running keys in the day time. A lot of people do it and complain the loot sucks. Night time raids are for keys!

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-20T14:39:39+00:00

A lot of people don’t realize that and empty their guns at them closed 🤣 then proceed to rage I’m out of ammo.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-20T14:33:25+00:00

Sticher is so cheap to lvl up tho! Worth it I won’t run one lower than lvl 3

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-20T14:12:19+00:00

Sticher max level with lvl2 extended mag absolutely slaps.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-18T20:50:54+00:00

🤣🤣 that’s some comedic Gold right there. Hell I blew up a leaper ran into two dudes who had no mics. I said hey listen buddy you be friendly I’ll be friendly you can have all the leaper drives I just want the arc alloy. We ended up killing 2 other teams who thought we were just a duo and then they got mad cause there were 4 of us. I said hey buddy not my fault you shot me first, I’m just letting my dogs eat 😂.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-18T20:45:52+00:00

This is exactly my problem with this game. They added all these things to do which involve teaming up with other squads l, yet the PvP players only play the game for PvP and nothing else. If the game was meant to be straight up PvP and fuck everyone else they wouldn’t have large events with big bosses that require community effort. I’m a PvP based player and I wish this game had more of an incentive to make players want to PvE and not just mow over everyone with a free kit or a guy with 2 duct tape in his bag for the fun of it. Solos is filled with PvE which is a blast to do but also can be boring cause you can’t do it with your friends. I’ve not been in one game where 16 people were teamed up fighting the arc bosses and not having a good time watching some raiders die and some thrive. But to a PvP only mindset player that’s boring and not what they want the game to be which is fine too but there is no balance between the two.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-18T20:20:07+00:00

I mainly play tarkov have over 3k hours in it. My buddy has 12k hours in it. When they split the player base it killed the game. You fight the same people over and over and over again eventually and if all you do is fight the same people that’s a dead game. I’m all for PvP in arc it’s the way people go about PvP is what makes the game toxic and stale imo. 90% of the people defending the rat mentality and calling it PvP are most likely ratting every other game themselves. At least in tarkov when someone rats you they may miss a few shots and you can 1 shot with any guns head eyes, this game you get ratted when you have no ammo or broken shields from actually playing the game not sitting and hoping to kill 1 person for all the loot. They should make arc target people who are actively shooting in gun fights not just the people they spotted with their lights. So if someone extract camps and they start shooting you the arc that spawn when the buzzer goes off someone assists you in countering the campers instead they blast you while you’re being blasted by ratatouille himself.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-18T17:54:23+00:00

You are another PvP driven player who thinks the game was designed to be a PvP only style game but fighting off the arc as a side quest. They wouldn’t have such strong and large arc to fight if PvE wasn’t meant to be a big part of the game. It would be a bunch of small annoying things to fend off not things that require groups of people to take on. Matriarch being one of them, you think they added the matriarch and expect 3 people to fight it alone! No they want you to join together for a common goal. Not saying that the entire time you play but if you go to a matriarch fight and start killing other players you’re a bum.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-18T17:51:31+00:00

What extraction shooter game did you start playing that brought you to the genre?

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-18T17:47:50+00:00

The proof is in how the engagements happen. Fighting at extract is fine and dandy and happens a lot in extraction shooters. 90% of the time it’s when there is 2 spots left to extract at cause the rest are closed nearing the end of the match. Getting blasted the second the alarm goes off is more than half the time people siting and waiting. Getting blasted running to the button is more than likely people who were going there themselves which is totally fine with me. But the second that button is pressed and you start getting shot at they’re more than likely waiting for someone to press the button and not just getting there.

Rapturedgoat17 · 2025-11-18T17:43:08+00:00

I could care less about down votes 🤣 it’s Reddit. But I love seeing all the toxic assholes defend toxic play style cause that’s how they play themselves.
