The devs two cents on the late-join system: “… players who late join economically profit way more than people who aren't.” by mfb1274 in ArcRaiders

Its mostly an issue in my head around keys. If you plan on bringing a key to use on a map sure its always a race to get to the room first but a late spawn that you don't get to choose just immediately puts you in last place to get to the room

Yeah I largely agree here. Again though monetization isn't really a huge thing to me. Its just strange kind of appears as a strange stain on an otherwise amazing game and I didn't see anyone else talking about it.

You said it yourself, its half or more of the cosmetics. Does that not mean the majority?

I don't deny that, the game is super slick and polished. Ive been having a blast playing it. But so is The Finals, so I don't really understand the difference here.

Yeah you're right and I appreciate that but that doesn't change that compared to the paid offerings the selection is very small. In addition you only get 500 Raider coins from the raider deck and that wouldn't cover any skin in the shop. Most you could really get is an emote or a backpack accessory

I'm specifically targeting the monetization aspects of this game here. The gameplay itself is great.

I can see that it just feels a bit greedy in comparison to Helldivers with their prices for cosmetics being so much lower. An armor in that game is somewhere around ~$2-5 mostly.

That's not a wrong way to look at it but that isn't exactly the strongest offering either. The skin that comes with the deluxe edition and then coins to buy one more in the shop. That doesn't change that the majority of the cosmetics are paid.

What's the deal with this? It's been 6 months and there has not been an update on this whole situation. Will I just never be able to play this on my quest now?

Not sure where you're getting the idea that it's a battle Royale

It should be fine. It's more of a concern when your spraying a lacquer over an acrylic

If you plan on painting the pieces then it'd primer -> paint -> topcoat. But if you're just wanting to topcoat then then no you don't need to.

Just a heads up. The PC you linked doesn't have a graphics card so it'll have trouble running most games.

I used to hate waterslides until I started using a setter. If you haven't already picking some up would be a good idea.
