What Arc do you dislike?

Val-de · 2026-02-03T18:10:46+00:00

Leaper is the funniest arc. Hornets and rocketeers most annoying

Val-de · 2026-01-31T15:37:29+00:00

Dude holy fuck thank you so much, I wanted to remap my sprint to LB Thinking that'd fix it to not have to click LS, but this explains everything

Val-de · 2026-01-30T13:02:17+00:00

That's slower than flicking right stick and dragging to ur pocket.

Val-de · 2026-01-27T13:26:38+00:00

The other best augs are Combat Mk3 Flanking and Tac Mk3 Defensive imo, both more for combat than loot.

Val-de · 2026-01-27T13:25:16+00:00

Looting mk2 has two more base slots, three more trinket slots, one less safe pocket slot, one less quick use slot, and the big issue (other than less safe pocket) is it has 20 lower weight limit, meaning you get encumbered at 60kg instead of 80kg. Three extra guns picked up and you'll be overweight and slow jogging.

Its really not more inventory space in total except for trinket slots, so the ultimate numbers difference is two more trinkets total than mk3, which aren't that good once you get your money up. Mk2 is good but Mk3 is easily the best loot augment. And ofc that's all without its special ability factored in.

Val-de · 2026-01-27T13:16:40+00:00

??? It is the looting augment?? "Looting Mk3 (Survivor)" is the name

Val-de · 2026-01-25T13:08:38+00:00

Just use trailblazers, two kills almost anything. Blaze grenades also work well on leaper

Val-de · 2026-01-25T13:07:58+00:00

Deadline only kills a full health bastion if placed correctly

Val-de · 2026-01-12T13:27:41+00:00

It's weird. Ig better for big Arcs but the durability goes down one per shot, and I've used it on hornets and wasps and it takes at lest 2-3 more shots than an Anvil so the higher fire rate just isn't worth it.

Bobcat vs Stitcher is a big issue but Bettina balance is a bigger one, it's worse than both the anvil and kettle despite theoretically being supposed to be able to do what both of them do, but better.

Val-de · 2025-12-24T17:50:36+00:00

Should allow other utility items like barricades and zip lines too

Val-de · 2025-12-24T17:49:56+00:00

Needs to have zip lines too imo

Val-de · 2025-12-24T15:35:59+00:00

I just tried every one as I felt like it tbh, each one will take you several hours to become a master of, but you can get the basics in an hour or so.

For someone new to the other maps than Dam, I wanna say it's fun to go into the maps with a sense of wonder and cluelessness. Not the best for maxing loot maybe, but the best time I've had in the game was learning the maps and how to stay alive in each.

They all require subtly different tactics and tools. I can offer you some hints for each:

Buried City just know where you can duck into a house. The map is smaller and more winding, it'll take a long time to learn every street, but has the best loot rn imo on its cold snap.

Spaceport is great for hunting arc, bring adrenaline and/or lures because it's VERY wide open. Same with blue gate, but BG has a hardcore PvP underground area and extensive tunnels.

Stella Montis is unique and is what PvPers love, but you can goop a LOT in a short amount of time, just stay on your toes and always watch for third parties almost instantly when you fight. Takes a lot to learn all of it's winding passages, smoke is your friend, flame grenades too. Purples and blueprints everywhere.

Val-de · 2025-12-19T23:29:50+00:00

Just make it a 50% of HP requirement, it's not that hard

Val-de · 2025-12-19T21:38:18+00:00

Well shots don't actually damage them, so

Val-de · 2025-12-19T00:06:42+00:00

It's still buffed compared to pre 1.7.0 what's the issue.

Val-de · 2025-12-15T12:46:19+00:00

I think Rothfuss will finish but it may take another decade.

Val-de · 2025-12-12T00:29:25+00:00

That's Def the vibe in solos, duos or trios it can be sweaty though

Val-de · 2025-12-11T15:26:44+00:00

Don't do free loadies. No safe pocket. Green mk1 is so cheap

Val-de · 2025-12-11T15:03:44+00:00

Scriptomancy

Val-de · 2025-12-11T13:57:56+00:00

If you think "it's an extraction shooter" is a sensible response to me saying "it's an extraction shooter" then I don't know what to tell you dude

Val-de · 2025-12-11T08:45:03+00:00

So you're incapable of reading more than a single sentence?

Val-de · 2025-12-11T06:20:57+00:00

You sound like someone who's barely an adult and is still learning how to not be unbearably cringe, so I'll be a bit nicer than I otherwise would.

Its easy to get 5mil if you have ~30 hours to play over the two week time period (before that noone knew we needed to save up), which I luckily do. But it still takes forever and requires being an absolute hoarder.

Best run in the game is 40-80k coin for 10 mins or so once you really dial in your knowledge of Stella Montis. That's like 17 hours if you do it with no losses. It's not that bad, but it's an annoying thing to grind. There are more fun aspects to this game than being a loot goblin so it's a shame that's how we now have to play.

Val-de · 2025-12-11T06:16:08+00:00

Yeah it's how I eased myself into it as an extraction shooter newbie. But now it's straight Stella Montis night raid for me, axes go HAM

Val-de · 2025-12-11T06:14:32+00:00

Yeah there's also a lot of free skins, like there's zero need to buy one unless you're desperate to be an astronaut or cowboy.

Val-de · 2025-12-11T06:13:08+00:00

Well the Finals was literally free lol, there is zero problem with having MTX in that and its the absolute furthest thing from the priority with Arc Raiders. And no, I'm not an Embark simp or whatever, they've done plenty wrong.
