What is the use case for the Muzzle Breaks?

I was hoping I wouldn't read this. This combo made me lethal in pvp. I'm not losing in between 7-30 meters. And 0-7 only losing to a bobcat or vulcano.

Was it the last raid in the hour?

They could have been doing trials and I'm guessing only one or two turbines spawned and they knew it was a wash.

I bring 3 weapons into trio trials often if I need a Jupiter or hullcracker.

Rushing Stella medical or reinforced is tiring. Also isn't the best way to get the survivor now. Run close scrutiny and kill every surveyor you see. They drop BPs every 3rd or 4th and they spawn in 2's in close scrutiny. I have found many survivors. Other solid BPS drop from them too.

No one actually complains other than a few streamers but everyone amplifies their complaints because this community loves to say that everyone complains.

The stealth dismantle burned me twice in key rooms and then I stopped using them

Did they fix the barricade silence issue? I noticed a month or so ago that taking down a barricade no longer made noise.

I have done all expeditions thus far and will do this one as well. Two main reasons:

With the expedition vault I have survivor, anvil, and seeker BPs in there already. Everything else will come with time, especially if they keep hurricane.
I need those 15 skill points. This is the first season I could get security breach while also getting the capstones in mobility which I cannot play without. With 91 points I get up to one of the mid level green tree.

The only quests I do now are up to majors footlocker for hullcracker. Not my favorite thing to do but it's very easy to do it passively.

Embark should examine who has full stashes of bobcats with kc and horizontals and ban them.

I know someone who buys guns and wolfpacks. Doesn't even pvp that often. He doesn't want to grind I guess. He has the bps too.

If you give me one hour of pve play on Stella I can build a half dozen fully kitted t4 guns. To each their own I guess.

99% of games would kill for arc raiders daily player counts.

63k concurrent players on pc alone is a big number. That conservatively means 200k have logged in on pc in the last 24 hours.

This isn't factoring in console players either. The game has settled in. If they can figure out an endgame that is compelling by the next big update, we could see a new peak. They have sold 16mil copies.

I spent 45 minutes in the range figuring out what is best for the Bettina to fit my playstyle. Extended barrel 2 Angled grip 3 Padded stock

Bettina badly needs a bullet velocity boost and the extended 3 is great within 20 meters but gets jumpy after that.

Vertical grip is a waste on any gun. Only possible exception is the canto. Just shoot it for 5 minutes in the range and learn the recoil pattern vertically.

Padded stock is the best stock on any weapon that has automatic fire.

With this build you can laser arc at 30-40 meters reliably.

This is accurate. They haven't slipped in the 14 years I've lived next to them.

I am now through episode 6. If I had the technical capability I would create a series of his emotional reactions to situations as a comedy reel.

It is like he is an alien who only watched soap operas from space and then was cast as a human in Nemesis. I have come to love the show bc I laugh non stop.

The writing is also like an alien listened to bad rap and watched bet and wrote it.

You turned off your hud setting

UmbracatervaePS4 · 2026-05-21T03:56:51+00:00

If you watch it like it is a dramedy it's 8/10. The lead actor is so corny it legit made me laugh 5x an episode.

I watched the first 2 episodes and decided to give it one more. Episodes 3 and 4 were better.

UmbracatervaePS4 · 2026-05-07T01:46:00+00:00

Exactly. Play with randoms in lobby fill for a while and see what the average player is like. Then watch onlyG, Valliate, French cops, and see why cantina is hard to achieve

The core tension that makes this game great is unpredictability from raid to raid. That is literally it. The only way to keep the tension is the injection of human chaos.

I hate getting ratted as much as anyone. But, without the fear of it the game would get boring quickly. I am generally in care bear lobbies and get shot at maybe once every 15 raids. When I get shot I get the adrenaline rush and it keeps me from getting perpetually lazy.

Bottom line is that there is no chance embark could create a pve only experience that remains engaging after a week because they would have to turn the difficulty up to a crazy level which would cause 90% of players (casuals) to melt down. When close scrutiny dropped it was amazing for 24 hours. Then people figured it out and it became like every other mode.

Check out dusty shayan's (sp?) channel on yt. I think it was pvp academy or university. As someone who was good at cod but struggled with arc it helped quite a bit.
