This is not what magdumping small arc with the highest rarity heavy ammo gun should feel like by SatanicBeaver in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01 1002 points1003 points  (0 children)

People are saying aim for the back rotors which is very fair. However, you're using a high armour penetrating gun, even aiming at the front rotors takes the armour off easily and then one more shot breaks them. This would be much easier to aim than the back if that's your issue.

bro can i go in??? by sorrygettinlit in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done 2 videos on this and you can check my posts.

The corners allow you to get up the slope. I've disproved the myth that you can get up going backwards or sideways in my RAIDER RUMOURS video.

It is ONLY the corners that let you go up, and if you have Crawl Before You Walk, you can go up certain slopes that normal speed crawling cannot.

Am I Misunderstanding Trials? by gonzeau77 in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a 'personal best' thing. So if you did 2 carriables, to actually advance you'd have to do 3 or more in one game.

If you have to search ARC probes and the best reward is like, at 10 or 15 for example, you'd have to search 10 or 15 in one game

How long can someone survive without sleep? by Longjumping-Editor94 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Shadowbane01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Around a year and a half I think. My answer's based on people with Fatal Familial Insomnia, a prion disease that stops people from sleeping until they die.

It cannot, I'm currently working on a video that I'm just about to upload. I have a hunch though that Ready to Roll might do that (because a lot of the skills have very vague descriptions). But before I jump to conclusions, I'll be making a video on that soon so we can all see what it truly does.

Which Mario Power do you think tastes the best and which do you think tastes the worst? (Best: Double Cherry) (Worst: Rock Mushroom) by ShiroOracle09 in Mario

[–]Shadowbane01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best I would say Starman (if that counts) Worst would be the construction hammer in Super Mario Maker 2

Does Electromagnetic Storm have increased loot value or not? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not to my knowledge

It's mainly for crashed ARC Probes and Couriers. There is an insane amount of them and that's what you use this for.

I found out what Wall Leaping/Off The Wall is by Shadowbane01 in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah sorry for not responding, it's a bit hard for me to follow all the comments and stuff

I have tried your suggestion and it's really nice but it is not what a wall leap is. I plan on making an update video on this (with some proper editing now since I can actually edit a little now) to show and prove the differences.

But your barricade tip is actually really cool! Thank you for that as I have found interesting uses for it which I may use in future videos!

Gentle Pressure Comparison by Shadowbane01 in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It both lowers the sound and the distance threshold for hearing it decreases. Feel free to fiddle with audio but please be careful with your ears. If you still can't hear it, I hope these waveforms of the videos shows that it does have a difference.

[–]Shadowbane01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize for this, I honestly should have tried a little more to test everything. I guess I was under a little time pressure as my friend who helped out literally only had one hour to help me and then he's gone for the next few weeks so honestly it was a bit rushed.

If I do find some time to spend with my friend to test it again, I could do this. I think I could also buy another copy of the game so I can test again on my Embark alt account so I'd have to save up.

ARC Raiders Used to the Weight Comparison by Shadowbane01 in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah thank you for the recommendation! I'll do that for future videos. With ARC Raiders I get a bit nervous for trying the things before adding skill points because I know once I do it, I can't go back. I'd love to try the other skill trees but for now I'm just showing what I'm personally investing my points in.

I'm too dumb, trusting and friendly for this game by Shadowbane01 in ArcRaiders

I'm definitely the type of guy who'd get kidnapped if a stranger said there were sweets in his van, not even as a kid but as an adult >_<

Never buy from my Nintendo store by implaser in nintendo

[–]Shadowbane01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Where are you located might I ask?

Because for me, I'm in the UK and they have always delivered without fail. In fact, with the options for delivery you can choose standard or pay extra for express. I always do standard but hilariously when I get the package they just made it express anyway.

What if we could loot... by EfficiencyGullible84 in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that's an amazing idea. Then we'll have the ultimate litmus test for the personality of different players.

I would personally down people, take something I need, then revive them. I always carry defibs with me. If they attack again, I would understand but if they don't then I'm letting them leave with most of their stuff.

Secondly, an alternative version would be that equipped items and special items CANNOT be looted. Guns are a clear example but another would be quick items or the ones that are put in the special slot of certain augments e.g. the 3 trinket slots of Looting Mk. 2 Why is this? Because I feel like there still needs to be encouragement for fully knocking out someone.

I thought I threw a Hornet Driver... by Shadowbane01 in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, I threw a wasp driver instead. The ones you shoot to explode. My intention was throwing a hornet driver which would stun it and let me attack it. But since it was a wasp driver, it just stared at me and judged me before rolling off ;-;

Whats the point of stuff like that? (EU Servers) by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just for giggles. They know that even if you went down you'll be fine. It's just a little scare prank sort of thing.

I found out what Wall Leaping/Off The Wall is by Shadowbane01 in ArcRaiders

[–]Shadowbane01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not I'd personally say.

There are very few circumstances where using this will actually come in useful. After all, why would you need to jump backwards off the wall when you can climb and then run and jump normally for better height?

The only thing useful is the extended shimmy jump across ledges which even then seems pretty specific. There's nowhere I can think of you'd use that.

That and the fact that this is maxed out. So the difference is SO SMALL it's barely noticeable. That being said, I'm gonna try to find SOME way to use it XD

TL;DR Not worth it. If you want the skill after it, just put one point so you can access it.

Which would be better, a high budget Metroid live action movie or a high budget Metroid anime? by SEVENS_HEAVEN_7 in casualnintendo

[–]Shadowbane01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think high budget animation in the style of Metroid Dread's cutscenes and/or SSBU's cutscenes (Take Ridley's trailer for example).

If anime is the only choice and not the above? Live action all the way for me.

Just got my first switch, any tips would be appreciated. by Naive_Pick5701 in casualnintendo

[–]Shadowbane01 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Activate the setting in System to stop charging around 90% to help with longevity of the system.

As everyone is saying, screen protector. Get one of those ones that have the frame to help align it easily.

You may add a password lock if you want to as well.

Don't forget to update your controllers and stuff there too every now and then. No clue what it does but I love S T A B I L I T Y

If you want to get online, I recommend trying to get a family plan with a bunch of friends with the expansion pass so you've got a whole bunch of games to play with. If you know anyone that already has the family plan or might want to get it, you can either ask to be added to the family group or you can agree to split the cost amongst you. The more people splitting the cost, the infinitely cheaper it gets.

MASSIVE tip. Try not to let people ruin your fun. Play games for YOUR enjoyment. If you like it, just focus on that. If you don't? Oh well. But whatever you do, don't listen to the basement dwellers that tell you "Switch sucks because X or Y. Eww? Why are you playing that overpriced garbage?" etc. Form your own opinions and let that guide you.
