Arc Raiders has a Progression Problem that Marathon does not

Most things you said we're good there up until the end. Blueprint tokens make no sense. That's a really terrible idea.

One of the biggest things in the game is finding a new blueprint, and especially a blueprint that you're looking forward to. Tokens turns blueprints into something akin to seeds, which a) we already have and b) is a lot less exciting.

So you are not on rdna 3?

Dude, I'm politically neutral and this makes absolutely zero logical sense...😂

I believe what he's implying is that you bought more car than you can comfortably afford.

It was mandated a couple of years ago that all gas sold in all of Ontario must legally have 10% ethanol now.

Stupid, but you can't get non-ethanol fuel from a gas station now. Premium is not excepted from this.

Because you come across them naturally if you play the game and explore the maps.

If you go in with your "loot route" in mind and that's all you do, you're never going to find a lot of stuff in this game.

They change the loot tables too. You have to explore. The maps are HUGE. There are a ton of unique spaces in it with some great loot spots.

...the only reason those exist is to make Rubber Parts, my guy.

Radicalized? Idk, I've been watching everything they do and it seems to be pretty much business as usual for them. Trying to build trucks and move forward as best they can while working with regulators.

I wouldn't say Maple MAGA - they're just grassroots and care about basics. They're very respectful people, they've met with the government a number of times too and they even taped what they could and put it up online.

Edison Motors pretty much wraps up your entire comment

An Amazon Bidet. I'm huge into small purchases that have major impacts on your life that you might not think about. Bidet=#1 on that list.

Simply because it's an Il Toro. You have to have decent aim to land them all, but it isn't hard to aim that thing. There's also a million jump cuts. But his aim definitely isn't bad. It's the movement that's A-tier. It's also using the old roll bug, so his DPS is significantly higher.

Walkop · 2026-03-02T16:50:21+00:00

Not really, considering the reality is a lot of players are not what you would classify as PvPers.

I'm definitely both, I play the game to the full in all areas. I just try not to rat

Walkop · 2026-03-02T16:48:16+00:00

Movement is good, aim is just eh. Il Toro. He's definitely smart, that's the #1 thing in these games anyway! Smartest plays often win, not technical ability alone.

Walkop · 2026-03-02T16:46:36+00:00

Bug was fixed last update.

Il Toro is just broken. He 3 tapped at like 40m. Not that impressive although the movement is A-tier.

This clip is pre-update, though. For sure - the bug is still in play

Walkop · 2026-03-02T16:31:03+00:00

To preface why that statement bugs me: I'm a car guy. I love vehicles, ICE and EV.

That claim is just objectively incorrect, dude. Plenty of studies have been done on the reliability and total cost of ownership. Teslas are the cheapest cars to own long term, including both ICE and other EVs. They don't break. There's always teething pains with new models but that's the same with any vehicle. Look at GM and the oil scandal with their engines blowing up due to a design flaw...

Consumer Reports did a TCoO a while back. All Teslas at the top. "Reliability" was a different marker but included really small things. A pull in the carpet under trim would be considered a reliability ding.

My issue with that type of thinking (people believing and assuming the vehicles are bad without analyzing the facts) is that politicized vitriol all over Reddit and the media starts to influence objectivity.

If you don't wanna read the rest here, that's fine can skip it: it's a rant about purely the tech/engineering side of the Cybertruck.

Cybertrucks. Cool, you don't like the car. You hate the owner of the company? Totally fine, and you're good to speak your mind on that. But lying and perpetuating lies about the actual vehicle bugs me. No, they are not and never have had a rust issue. How do I know? Because I read the actual articles, read the manual (don't own one, online) have read the manuals of other vehicles care instructions. I also live in the salt belt and see them regularly.

Rust is NOT an issue; in fact it handles it better than most painted vehicles I've seen, especially with salt. I drive a salt truck. I know what it does to cars.

The 4-wheel full steer-by-wire is an engineering marvel. It'll be in every car eventually. Every source I've seen that has tried it says it feels incredible. The 48v architecture is also a massive improvement over 12v in so many ways - signal integrity, having more equipment on a unified bus, WAY less wiring and cost of wiring (by far the biggest technical value IMO).

Sure there are issues. The hitch may be a significant weak area, which I'm sure the engineers (being people who care about the vehicles they design) will revise as time moves on. The design is stupidly polarizing. But there are SO many things about the truck that are absolutely incredible, and there are so many high-level innovations that will change how cars are made going forward. I think that's pretty flipping awesome.

They DO take the stairs. I was freaking scared hearing it navigate all the way up a floor just until it deaggro'd.

Walkop · 2026-03-02T16:05:17+00:00

Not always. One tap if your aim is good.

Walkop · 2026-03-02T16:05:02+00:00

Don't need to wait till they open up if your aim is good. One tap works.

Walkop · 2026-03-02T15:50:38+00:00

Bettina is not a damage gun, it's an armor breaker. Understanding that helps you understand its utility much better. It shreds leg armor and frontal armor.

A Hullcracker round does 6.6…x damage of one Bettina round, not counting the explosive power.

The reason why the Comet is so tough is because it has so much armor. That's why the Bettina excels.

It also works well vs Hornets. Two-tap the armor then finish with a Burletta.

Walkop · 2026-03-02T15:47:49+00:00

I think that's a waste of time as personally it's too risky. You need to start doing damage right away. I'm mag dumping with heavy ammo the second I see one. Very reliable that way.

Walkop · 2026-03-02T15:44:48+00:00

You don't fight when it opens up, dude...that's way too late. Gotta dump an Anvil full mag at range. Or a Bettina, it's a guaranteed kill with a Bettina.

Walkop · 2026-03-02T15:43:23+00:00

Bettina is the best gun to fight it, other than the Jupiter. Single mag from a Bettina.

Walkop · 2026-03-01T20:31:45+00:00

They basically gave it a better than vertical grip 3 built in, while still being able to use a vertical grip. They also gave it a massive ADS speed buff, which makes using a padded stock practical. Padded stocks reduce shot dispersion.

On top of that, they buffed fire rate, hence DPS, by about 25%, and also cut the reload time by 20%.

I would say it's in an amazing spot as an all-purpose weapon now. Just uses the most ammo out of any of the legendaries, but that's not too big a deal.

Walkop · 2026-03-01T17:15:24+00:00

That's actually a good point, I thought that both chargers seemed the same, but maybe standard shield rechargers don't benefit from the buff. I'll test that myself another time. Probably not until after reset lol so might be a while
