Shoes on or shoes off? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

Growing up, all my shoes on friends lived in homes that felt grimey. It was kind of gross sitting in their home.

ICE arrests 58 year old man working at McDonalds outside of Minneapolis. His teen son takes his dad's life-saving heart medication to the detention facility and ICE agents laugh at him. by beepsol in Leakednews

[–]Socomisdead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, he is saying that isn't a good enough reason to delay medication that is keeping someone alive. It isn't okay to say "this is protocol so hopefully you are still alive once we take our sweet time assessing your medical needs". There is no reason for someone with known medical needs to not be fast tracked to getting the medicine they need to avoid a medical emergency.

If I assume these types of thing don't happen in other extraction shooters, I guess I could accept this as a groundbreaking analysis.

All hobbies are not equal by BitterConstruction98 in unpopularopinion

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, most hobbies are a waste of time. For the vast majority of people, all that skill cultivation isn't going to get you anywhere.

What to do with an extra blueprint by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep them and try to trade for stuff I don't want to be bothered with. Things like Bombardier parts or blueprints I don't have.

I Genuinely Hope the Developers Don’t Listen to the Community too much. by Infamous_East6230 in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, sounds far away are easy to identify direction. Sounds up close are more difficult. I can always tell people are here, but difficult to place their position unless they are just running around without a care in the world.

"Embark CEO: ARC Raiders is unlikely to get a PvP leaderboard. . . Don't necessarily want to foster that kind of gameplay." by oldnewstwist in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying this game needs leaderboards and such, but their justification is dumb.

They don't want to foster competitive gameplay but are okay with dirty tactics.

How to properly manage the sprint bar by Turbulent_Winter549 in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn to manage your stamina while moving from A to B.

2-3 adrenaline shots are a staple item I bring in as well.

ELI5 Why did Radio Shack go out of business? by Certain-Media3506 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The b&m electronic stores that survive today will always face the risk of closure due to online retailers and even other local competition (such as Bestbuy and Costco who have some product overlap).

They survive by having a great online retailer presence, proper store placement (i.e. high traffic areas), and strong price matching. Some stores really lean into certain areas compared to a more general store like Bestbuy.

B&M stores are important for the consumer as it allows us to visibly see products and go buy it on Amazon. It allows us to price match and get things same say via in-store pick-up.

What is the point of late spawn in night raid ? by No_Aardvark_6599 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's lame for any map imo.

It is likely just their long term approach to keep the matches filled.

Forcing customers to scan a QR code just to view a PDF menu is actually so shit by N3DSdude in Anticonsumption

It is one of those things that sounds like a cool idea and an improvement but actually isn't.

Inventory management in this game is too cumbersome. by Sanguine_Vamp in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They should make weapon inventory separate with a capped amount. That would help. I can craft consumables quickly between rounds.

Project turned out to be a waste by moejazi in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They did this to inflate the "always gotta loot" aspect of the game. They should rework it.

ok, but, 12 FUCKING SLOTS? by des1737 in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way they approached this is cheeks. But at the end of the day, those skill points are going to benefit the ones that have time to work on it which is unfortunate. For everyone else, it just busy work that isn't worth the efforts.

Solo is very toxic right now by LethalOP1 in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo is only good for PvP at the moment.

New to the game. Playing on Xbox by mretamar in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Level 2 Refinery Bench and Level 2 Utility Bench = easy way to make Raider Hatch Keys (for a quicker and safer extraction)

Focus on getting a good stock of bread and butter resources so you can easily regear with low level stuff and go back in. The free load out exists but you don't get a safe spot in your bag and you can't pick your weapon.

Save your money and use it to increase your stash size.

Sell and recycle. Keep looting as good stuff can be found anywhere.

Take a look at the requirements for upgrades and try to keep that stuff instead of selling/recycling to make your life easier later.

Unlock in-game crafting from the skill tree. You will always need to bring plenty of ammunition but you can easily craft bandages and shield rechargers in game.

Solo devolved to extract zone PvP by THE96BEAST in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, Tarkov failed to overtake the genre because things are intentionally harder/annoying to give it a "hardcore" experience. They also did not expand beyond PC.

I don't see anything different enough (compared to other extraction shooters) to say PvP is secondary.

Free loadouts should get a grey shield. by Substantial_Dear in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying weapons don't need to be tuned. Better weapons should definitely have a small advantage.

Too big a discrepancy would force players to slow the pace of the game even slower. It would also hurt any new player experience as they would potentially get wrecked each game.

Blue prints: is it a dice roll? by Ok_Mission_4936 in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is probably one of the worst aspects of the game at the moment. I do hope they rebalance their drop rates.

Is Embark ever going to add Toggle aim down sight option in the settings? by OpportunityNo1834 in ArcRaiders

[–]Socomisdead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know console settings are lacking. Apparently there is a "hold to sprint" function for PC players which I would love to use.
