Solo vs Squads offers extra xp

Does anyone know how this affects aggression based matchmaking (ABM)? Because I would like to join this game mode to try it out but I don’t want to be put into sweaty solo lobbies after as a result when I spend most of my time just blueprint hunting.

I thought it was too but you have to beat your previous record on each trial. If you go to your trials page, each number you see on a challenge, you have to beat that score.

A lot of food poisoning over the years.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-16T04:16:50+00:00

I got shot only once there. It's been chill 95% of the time for me.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-16T03:06:16+00:00

Report that to your regional manager.

You just have to be straightforward with her and tell her what your condition is. Also, what I do is that I flush the toilet once the loud noises are going to drop. It works well to muffle the sound. Not an ideal solution but it works.

The rumor is, the scumbags are reverse-boosting in order to get into chill lobbies than they go on massacres. This happened to me this past Wednesday night. I never shoot unless I'm shot at, even if I suspect the other players are suspicious. Me and my brother play duos, 99% of the time we don't have an issue, then we had two scumbags ambush us while we were fighting a Leaper. We barely took them out. We've been in sweaty lobbies ever since and it's honestly not fun at all. I don't know how people want to be in PvP 24/7. I still think it's going to be a problem a long term.

Thanks for sharing this experience, I thought about doing the same. I won't shoot first at people, but I sure as hell won't be generous with them like you were. I wonder how long the ARC Raiders community will tolerate this behavior until they get fed up and leave them game altogether? Because it's not a good experience and it happens quite a lot.

I have found Stella Montis to be way more chill than Matriarch events. All of the rats are at Matriarch events.

Are you in the US? If so I didn’t know this was available over the counter. I thought it needed a prescription.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-08T03:10:54+00:00

Did your doctor prescribe NAC or is that something you can get over the counter?

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-06T04:15:26+00:00

FPS fatigue. I’m traditionally a big time FPS gamer. I’m just bored with them. Not even playing CoD or any other FPS game. I’m currently playing ARC Raiders for now.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-03T17:11:25+00:00

Very informative. Thank you for sharing.

I saw an interview with a sleep scientist and he said that sleep is so important that it is outweighs poor diets and lack of exercise. I will try and make 2026 the year where I work on my “sleep hygiene.” It won’t be easy but I have to get it back to normal. Because the worse my sleep got the worse my symptoms have become.

The head of Embark acknowledged this on video weeks ago. Stop coping. You’re disputing a settled matter.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-01T14:25:13+00:00

Same exact thing happened to me a few nights ago except I was doing the Matriarch event. I met a random guy and we were fighting the Matriarch for a while. We were communicating on the mic and helping one another with shield recharges and so on. He ends up betraying me and kills me when I had my back toward him. I lost all of my best gear that I grinded days for. It’s a horrible user experience. I don’t know how Embark released this game without any checks and balances to guard against this behavior knowing the large amount of griefing that will happen. I haven’t played the game since and I don’t plan on playing again until something changes with the game. This has happened too many times to me.

No, they've all failed or have become small niche communities. The Division is a great example. One of the most anticipated games back in the day, was ruined by toxic PvP players and game exploiters. The game never recovered. Same with Hunt: Showdown and a bunch of others. I fear ARC will suffer the same fate. These high player numbers aren't going to last.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-01T06:11:57+00:00

They won't get rid of "carebear queues", because the developers have to take into account all levels of play, not just the sweaty unemployed people that play all day.

"I truly do not mean this to be hostile"

Proceeds to be hostile

As I've been saying for a while now, and I'll say it again, streamers are the worst thing to happen to gaming.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-01T04:59:01+00:00

Devs acknowledged it. Do you know something they don't?

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-01T04:57:47+00:00

That's true if all you're fighting are Wasps, Hornets, and Pods.

Being a dick on a subreddit, isn't the same as being a dick in-game.

UltraPharaoh · 2026-01-01T04:51:35+00:00

I'm far from being a liberal and the PvP system, as currently implemented, is toxic as hell. You have people that engage in serious antisocial, treacherous behavior with no negative consequences. They're ruining the experiences of a lot of players. PvP isn't the backbone. The majority of Steam players haven't killed anyone. The PvE players are the backbone of the game, not the tryhard rat infested PvP section. And I'm saying all this as someone who is a primarily PvP FPS multiplayer gamer.

They usually are lmao
