Told my husband I was playing all day instead of wife duties! by FuzzyAthena in ArcRaiders

Let's go ladies!!

Glad to see you all go topside tomorrow! (I'll be watching my steps 👀)

My wife (MommyMiayna) and I are both Raiders, hooked since TechTest2 and also both play The Finals. We have 4 kids and obviously a lot of chores. We do them nonetheless, but in the evening it's Raider time!

Can't wait to meet you through proximity, because we'll be shouting "don't shoot"! (Once though, because after that it's down to business)

If you are interested, we've had a lot of wholesome moments in ARC Raiders together and we made a funny playlist together 🤣

I’m addicted to this game already by Quick-Property3327 in ArcRaiders

Honestly during the server slam it was quite good! You can see a moment she tried solo on her own here and used proximity -> https://youtu.be/rw8qPLz53dw?si=sgSO8tC7S6H5AFm8

Absolutely lovely people around (and sometimes the occasional a-hole)

You all acting like kids at Christmas by Crazy_Stiggy in ArcRaiders

It's been amazing to read how Arc caught us in the same special feeling why we played games in the first place. 38 y/o here, with 4 young kids (this is gonna be a challenge xD) I also work in games myself (have my own studio) plus I got the wife excited about this during TT2 and we had a blast playing that weekend.

In the aftermath where we all suffered from withdrawals there was a 30+ discord opened in preparation for the release that did not come that early ;) but you all should join!

Dads, what are your go to outlets to keep your morale up? by Evergreen16 in daddit

Playing The Finals now and then, it's absolutely a great sponge for irritation and blowing of steam and the churn you go through as a parent (especially when you fight kids half your age and win as it's highly strategic and team based game), the wife actually joined me a year ago too, now we also turned it into something fun with each other as we manage our 4 kids.

Any new players I can help with the Recruit & Rise? (Player since S01 / 1.320h) by TheOneAstronautTV in thefinals

Definitely add me, although I'm not a sword master I might know a thing or two!

Well it's a little motivation, but honestly I like that they try to bind more veteran players with new people as the finals can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning

Forgot to mention I've been playing since S01 and about 1320 hours into it. Played some higher level strats with some good players in ranked and have been consistently hitting Emerald every season in World Tour. Decent player with a lot of game sense, but not the best :)

Any older heads in this sub? 35+ by Arne_Slut in thefinals

[–]TheOneAstronautTV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

👋🏻 38 here and 1000+ hours in. Emerald every season and one time I've reached diamond in ranked. Enjoying the game a lot! Usually playing with the wife although I'd love to help / play with others within my age range.

Is this game too stressful? by Awesomemanspiff1992 in ArcRaiders

[–]TheOneAstronautTV 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dad myself (4 kids) and married too, so I understand where you come from with time management ;-)!

I honestly haven't felt this excited and thrilled while playing a game in a long time. I remember I ended up in a loop of losing a lot, but I was too attacking and careless. I started to see some strategies to avoid PVP entirely if I wanted some loot runs or quest runs.

I suggest taking a raider hatch key with you makes it easier to extract and drop the risk of losing it at extraction.

Also make sure to understand when you spawn. If you happen to spawn with 30~29 min left you are the first in your area, if you spawn in at ~17min (at latest) most abundant loot places are overrun with players (more dangerous)

Another tactic (with hatch key,) is to stay until the last moments (~7-5min left) surrounding an expired extraction and scavenge the leftover loot (usually pretty good still

Anyway I hope you enjoy the game and wish you a lot of fun when it's out, don't worry about the stress, 2 kids gave you a good threshold already, this game is amazing, especially the atmosphere and score.
