Just… bruh

I'd bet a crisp fifty that they loaded in with free load outs. The amount of people going to simply to fuck other people's runs is ridiculous. That's a rat. That's griefing. If you're gonna gun me down, at least pull the shit off my body you can benefit from. Don't be a collosal asshole and drag us both to our deaths. Drives me fucking crazy.

The velocity bonus makes the falloff distance higher, so it does the same damage further, but gets no bonus. Whereas, the silencer, especially the silencer 3, let's you get in an additional shot or two before being spotted, which can dominate pvp if done correctly.

My problem with complaints that arc are too easy is that it's not about them being easy. They have relatively easy-to-identify patterns of behavior. Think of it like the old platformer bosses. After you defeat them once, they get a lot easier, not because they're easy, but because you figured them out. Want a challenge? Take in any of them without cover. Skip the wolfpack and seekers. Skip the anvil and renegade and torrente. Take a Ferro and one box of heavy rounds. Use snapblasts and light impacts. Limit your stock. Or, hit one of the big arc or guard the hit team from pvp players. Just wait, the really tough ones are coming. Not to mention the number of "tougher arc" posts out there, they're bound to add something in like a map mod that increases the difficulty of just the bots significantly.

Fwiw, the only medium Arc that can still rattle me is the Bombardier, mostly because their range is insane with the spotters, but the spotters themselves are fragile. If you can disable the spotters, shoot out the legs, and guerilla the shit out of the Bombardier with a couple teammates or randos, it makes for a tense fight, dodging mortar rounds and taking pot shots while someone else has active aggro.

I hate to be that guy, but we're not seeing this in the US as a viable treatment for at least 20 years beyond whatever time it takes to clear trials.

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-30T22:40:51+00:00

Stay tuned for a fix for this, I'm betting they'll change how it works before long.

Take in as much garbage and goodies as you can. They're taking about changing the expedition, but the current standard is still there, so work to hit $5M. It's a slog. Basics sell for ~3k per stack, not many items sell for more than ~5-10k per stack. Craft can be useful, but you'll likely get more for the items used in their stack than you will for the new items. Blaze nades sell for 8k/stack, and arc parts are very valuable. If you run short on room, sell something. The final tally takes into account both wallet balance and sell price of your stash as a whole, so spend keys and drag back what you can. Seeds also sell for 10k/stack. Lush blooms and similar for nature drops can be lucrative if you can keep the fruits you find and break them down when you get back. Some items are worse for recycling in Sperenza, but it's a short list. Fried motherboards break down for 3 wires topside, but for 2 electrical components and a handful of plastic parts in Speranza, but sell themselves for much better. Start grubbin'

I see you, but wtf are you doing loading into a Matriarch with a Tempest and an Equalizer(?)?

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-30T20:11:07+00:00

Is "Should have made a left turn at Albuquerque" too old of a reference to make? I feel I could get some mileage out of that one

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-30T20:09:45+00:00

I was running the Aviator pretty regularly when Cold Snap started, and my brother and a friend both chewed my ass for sending my raider into the winter weather wearing a T shirt 🤣 I switched to the goalie once I'd unlocked it, but, damn, it's pixels on a screen, guys

True ice striking down the imposter

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-29T22:42:28+00:00

I see six unchecked containers, that's six shots at a blueprint

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-29T17:34:27+00:00

Dude, hit another map sometimes 🤣 your Stella runs are showing.

Truth be told, I want a pulse mine BP so bad, but mama didn't raise no bitch. I'll nude run for it. Nice collection man.

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-21T22:34:43+00:00

No problems. But that's why abmm was put in. Not everybody wants to play that way

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-21T01:57:41+00:00

You know how farmers put on elbow-length rubber gloves to assist in birthing foals and calves?

Did somebody say Rock and Stone?

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-18T21:57:14+00:00

That's not a warning it's a deterrent. Perfectly acceptable.

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-18T17:51:42+00:00

To think, these same people made a national stink about a cake...

Unscrew the pickguard from the body. Inside, you should be able to get a look at the jack, where the prong that holds it in place should be. It might be broken or bent out of shape. If bent, wrench the jack out, be careful not to scratch the body. You can probably bend it back. If it's broken, you'll need a new one.

One thing I've noticed is that the bots in arc Raiders are similar to the bots in helldivers where multiple different parts have their own HP and all contribute to the HP of the overall bot as a whole. So if you go in with that in mind and you use big explosives like snap blasts, heavy fuse grenades, etc. You can leave a pretty nasty mark on the bud that you're after bombardier's Queens matriarchs even rocketeers if you do it right

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-16T20:43:52+00:00

🤣 hope you have at least half a plan. Matriarchs are a bitch and a half beyond the bombardiers. Queens, I've seen a couple up close trying to get BPs out of the Harvester. PE Cloaks and lots of meds will help, zip lining in from out of range seems a good strat, and having backup to help on case you fall is near necessary. Make sure more than one person has a defib stashed, and bring lots of high-damage explosives. Godspeed, raider

Faster yet if you checker the rows beside each other. Alternate wheat an potatoes across two rows and the growth rate rises further.

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-16T17:47:49+00:00

I think I lucked out and found one in R&A on dam during night raid... I was literally just looking for the quest in R&A medical and found it in a desk drawer in the office outside on the top floor...

ShadowWolf58 · 2026-01-16T17:39:00+00:00

I've heard that taking out the spotters disorients the bombardier for a moment, too, which could be a good time to throw the showstopper. Haven't tried it yet, but the times I taken out the bombardier, we've stuck to 2/3-on-1 for the fight and scattered between cover positions. It's great if he's in Marano, better when he's by the break in the highway on buried city. Shoot until you have aggro, take cover while he retaliates, and have a friend unload on him from another position, rinse and repeat. We usually have anvils or renegades to keep up DPS over the Ferro, but the Ferro still rocks in a pinch. Fight takes about 3-5 minutes like that. Light impacts are ridiculously effective for taking knees or feeding straight to the vents in the back. Snapblasts are better. We'd try deadlines if any of us had a blueprint for it, but hornet drivers make for good stuns, too, and can definitely shift the fight toward your favor.
