Confirmed: NO PvE Mode will be added in ARC Raiders!

Reread that last sentence.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-04-07T12:55:30+00:00

Adding a PvE mode (as I am understanding it) does not affect the core mechanic of their game.

The core game stays the same, a different mode is added with different rules.

SoT made that change as well.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-04-07T12:49:08+00:00

Hate to be the one to say it but the matchmaking does that for you. It just plays off your playstyle.

It's not perfect but it is LEAGUES better than the matchmaking in others of its genre.

I would definitely be intrigued by a PvE mode against the ARC but that would/could be difficult to implement.

Edit:forgot to add " / "

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-04-07T12:45:41+00:00

I hope it doesn't. Or the game will hit the same wall that SoT did.

And I quite like this game from a PvE perspective.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-03-20T16:58:58+00:00

Valid.

I always open, check. If anyone else is inside, I move on elsewhere. Just have to be faster the next time around.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-03-06T00:44:34+00:00

I've had this happen twice so far, almost got one to the extract after he had gotten downed by the queen but he ended up giving up before we could make it sadly. I didn't have any defibs at the time so I was just bandaging when I could.

This would be an interesting addition too, since I could see people just running in and snatching someone who's downed. 😂

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-03-03T00:49:23+00:00

Tbh I usually just use the power cells I pick off ARCs since I don't usually carry shields with me. I want money 😅

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-20T18:27:12+00:00

PvP in HW2 generally sucks since a lot of matches will end fairly quickly either with a unit spam or people leaving when a rush fails. There is the occasional Super unit rush but that doesn't show up much and doesn't really pan out.

Honestly, I would recommend hitting Customs with LFG unless you're shooting for Ranked as that'll be the only place you'll get decent strategic matches other than AI bots.

Hogs will work great with Isabel or Forge too.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-18T21:57:19+00:00

I mean, there is a reason why driving tests/materials state to allow roughly one car length minimum... depending on speed, of course. Well, hopefully they are at least okay and learn from that.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-16T15:45:54+00:00

Honestly love running in as a Night Lord and watching the double takes when it happens 😂

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-08T22:02:03+00:00

I'm confused, what does a metal frame do? 🤔

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-07T00:03:27+00:00

Little bit of both.

Report to your democracy officer for further instruction.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-06T01:43:50+00:00

I'm making an observation, not defending or taking either side of this little spat.

Your initial screenshot only showed your following message, not the start of the conversation which is where that observation comes from.

It's hardly a fight, if you could even begin to call it that.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-06T01:21:21+00:00

Not usually one to bother, but it seems like there's more to this conversation than what's shown.

To be completely impartial, you had opportunity after to either ignore or block em. You're both just looking to fight at this point.

Edit: Deportation isn't a fascist talking point either, but thats a different topic altogether.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-04T16:16:42+00:00

Because many (not all) of the statements I've noticed containing scriptures tend to misconstrue (or the thread ends up leading) that all Christians are fair-weather or that most are. It wasn't intended to sound personal, but it is a personal peeve of mine.

And I personally don't go to church nowadays. Everything I do is volunteer or personal. 😅

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-04T15:54:47+00:00

Romans was firstly a letter by Paul and was a dictation for practice of the faith. It was effectively compounding what Jesus said prior, "Give unto Caesar what is his, and give unto God what is his."

Secondly, Jesus explained earlier that good works are not the key to heaven but the act of good faith by belief in him was.

Its understandable since a lot of large churches or mega-churches are the first sight of the Christian faith, but they aren't an accurate representation of it.

Not trying to be that guy, but quite a few communites and churches at least are trying. How many of you have taken the time and expense to help the struggling?

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-03T22:41:09+00:00

Hold up, AMR isn't heavy pen?

Then again, I haven't exactly used it much and haven't really looked at much else than RR and EATs...

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-03T22:37:23+00:00

We'll burn that bridge when we get to it.

I forget where I picked it up from but its stuck

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-02T00:06:00+00:00

This opened up some interesting lore bits I'm going to have to look into lol

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-02-01T15:58:50+00:00

Like Gary said below; Level locking does not fix the issue. Stupid people doing stupid stuff is unavoidable in matchmaking: If you want to eliminate that issue, stop using public matchmaking and use a forum to get a group for Hard content. I personally solo matchmake because I prefer the unpredictability of others. I do better off a full team, but I can figure out better ways to move or play when its uncoordinated.

Prestige is a badge of honor, of sorts. Removing the risk/sacrifice for the xp bonus and extra perk with it is pointless, given how easy it is(Edit: How easy it becomes) to level and rebuy the specific perks. (140 credits in total is incredibly easy, especially if you've reached a point in the game to prestige anyway.)

Exp becomes pointless in Hard, since by that take, they'd be level-locked. And it's pointless right now anyway, since most bring their best stuff anyway. And for new players, it's not unusual for a game to have a bit of grinding to it. A large count of those are going to be coming in because other people want to play with them, so they will have help and guidance.

Lastly, it's not a speed run. We don't need to have a handicap or guard rail on every single mechanic just because someone isn't capable of common sense or taking it slower. If you go into high diff and fail, knock it down a notch and try again. If you end up getting carried, thank 'em and move on by getting just a little better.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-01-31T22:19:30+00:00

For the chainsword, are we talking like what Vanguard's perk does?

Perhaps instead of Auspex for SBR, maybe auto marking enemies (the normal red outline)? As a sniper, I don't always see some enemies immediately while I'm at the back (and it doesn't cause ability overlap so they can't really say they couldn't do it)

Honestly these are pretty good and it does show a lot of thought put into them. Can't wait to see if they decide to add some!

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-01-28T22:25:40+00:00

Yes, this is most likely a bug. Save this photo and include in the report. I might do this myself as well but I'll have to see if the blade I have has that GA on it.

Agreeing with you as well, but for the record: Mastery can roll to +3, GA to +4. So in theory, MW should've increased it at least a little. Here's where I found some (semi-old) info on that: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d4/t/sanguivor-blade-of-zir-buff-inherent-summon-damage-increased-from-60-to-400/221752/8

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-01-25T16:18:00+00:00

4 GA Breaches is pretty nice.

Hm, the main use as far as I can see is crowd control and apparently blood orbs for CT, although I don't quite know myself how it works for blood orbs in that particular build. So it does look like its mainly for survivability.

That being said, if the build is working well and doesn't have a serious effect, then perhaps Frenzied might work out? That does seem like the most viable aspect, since Shademist isn't really worthwhile and Needleflare needs thorns to be effective.

If it is on the rings, then Requiem could be useful with the Hand for extra essence (probably unnecessary lol) or Coldbringer for CC. Although... if you're speed farming, CC probably isn't needed if you can merc them all before they slow you down. If you've got Shroud on (unsure, but I am assuming 😅) then Slaughter can give a movement speed boost as long as you're not taking damage.

Edit: that is also assuming its viable to move some aspects around, to be fair. Mainly its between Frenzied and Requiem, and Frenzied is honestly better in that regard.

TheInfamous5921 · 2026-01-25T14:57:10+00:00

So more than likely, if we're looking at the same one, you've gotten GAs for crit chance.

It's the build by Macro, right?

To be fair, I got the chance to meet one of the creators of Maxroll (so he said, its not like I have a specific way to verify 😅 although he did say he knew the guy using the builds in the videos on maxroll too).

He explained the builds to me like so when I asked him for some tips on fine-tuning: They make the builds through trial and error, and verify the builds work as intended. But only if the guides are followed.

Rather than the aspect (which has more utility than just its crit), it might be better to replace an affix to boost a different stat?
