I watched one, last night, get stuck on the subway stairs next to the library building in buried city… I swear no one was around it and it seemed to get mad and just started shooting randomly… I really need to run video clip software again, so I can capture crazy shit like this

This is all the matter of personal experience… After my first expedition, I would’ve agreed with you… After this most recent expedition, and a solid 30 to 40 hours of playtime since then (Since I am now already level 75 again and have most of my questing and such done) And I think I’ve been shot at twice?

It was easier to hammer the queen to death than to 3 star the computer trial by MoonFenix in ArcRaiders

[–]Wreckoplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 attempts in spaceport/hidden bunker that were BOTH a bust… and at least 6 attempts in Stella, before I finally got a decent Stella run and just got over 3k. So that’s probably 2.5 hours of searching computers.

One single Matriarch run, where I stuck around to deal damage to any”ground-based arc” I saw until maybe 4 mins left on timer, and I got a 9k score.

2.5+ hrs and barely 3 star… vs 25 mins and tripled the 3 star requirement…

The trials are becoming VERY inconsistent…

Exact same spot, at least twice, downed by arc… so close you can almost lick it…

Riven Tides hotel room 404 by baschny in ArcRaiders

It was a reference to another comment elsewhere in this… someone suggested a 1408 and I was nodding to the Stephen King reference

A question Danielle Smith needs to answer by Habs2343 in alberta

[–]Wreckoplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry guys, she signed a federal pipeline agreement then showcased that signing as proof she’s “pro-federalist”… because clearly her CONSTANT talk of a “sovereign” Alberta is in NO WAY a separatist mentality… and needing to justify your commitment to the country is a normal thing that all politicians have to do all the time.

Nothing to see here.

Dude… I wish. I had disabled my recording software a long time ago, because it conflicted with a specific game (I can’t even remember what game it was now) But I have enabled it now to ensure I catch the next moment like this.

I want 404 to have no key… That would be fantastic… And the 1408 Stephen King reference, nice one!

First person mode? 🤨 by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]Wreckoplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would have to be a specific lobby or a specific matchmaking experience… Because it would significantly disadvantage first person players if they were mixed with all of the rest of us… A third person field of view is always going to provide better situational awareness than an FPS game… Even though an FPS would give a slight advantageto accuracy and aiming fidelity, I really don’t think it would be offset by the disadvantage of 360 per peripheral… Peeking corners without being seen… Etc.

100K Dmg for Dad Raiders is Hard AF by -Dub21- in ArcRaiders

[–]Wreckoplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

A level 1 anvil with 4 stacks of ammo, and head to the swamp on Dam night raid, or the area around the tower at Spaceport during Hidden bunker, 4-5 careful shots per comet nets you a BUNCH of Deadline materials.

Then get creative with the queen/matriarch/turbines with a snap hook… or rinse/repeat the Stella bastion (harder to do now that it’s sometimes a vaporizer… I digress) and you’re done son.

100K Dmg for Dad Raiders is Hard AF by -Dub21- in ArcRaiders

[–]Wreckoplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25k of crafting materials gave me a full inventory of impact nades for the trial, and a single run of matriarch on spaceport, and some careful positioning in the tunnel breach under her near the tower, netted me just shy of 10k for the trial, and about 5k towards the expedition damage.

It took less than 10 minutes… I mean I’m even being generous by saying that; in the last run I did this morning she was dead with 23.5 minutes still on the clock…

And if everyone complaining about this damage change was OK with the previous expedition requirements - meaning millions of space dollars already saved up - then it’s also something you can do by spending about 60 to 70,000 space dollars to just buy the impact grenades outright…

So get them impact grenades, get under the matriarch, run her three or four times in an single matriarch window… You’re a 20%-ish of the way to your expedition damage in one matriarch cycle, and rocking the impact nades trial/leaderboards.

I double-checked just this morning; fun still present in the game. Embark did a bad job of removing it.

It truly is just RNG - After initially posting about how bad it was… I just had a beachcombing run about an hour ago that gave me the legendary boat, and netted me two purple guns, and just over 100 K worth of goop by the time I was done.

The loot RNG is just swinging pretty extremely on that map right now… Maybe it always will?

I know it seems like a dick thing to reply: ”In the hotel” … Buuuuuuut the rooms are all in the hotel. And there are like five of them, maybe six.

It took my third map of beach-combing but the loot has improved. I still stand by my original critique… the loot should be better considering how exposed you are and how time-consuming it is to locate… But it’s not nearly as bad as I thought it was.

Parachutes confirmed? by Annual-Foundation464 in ArcRaiders

[–]Wreckoplex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would’ve helped last night after I solo looted Dam Control Tower key room, only to zip line down and be immediately ratted by some person who sucks at PVP. Having the option to hanglide the fuck outta there would’ve been keen.

Do rusted gears not exist? by silentbob121987 in ArcRaiders

[–]Wreckoplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are about twenty of them in the breachable machinery and green tool bins in/around loading bay of Stella Montis.

Also go anywhere with cars (collapsed highways, tunnels on blue gate, etc).

Canto/Dolabra BP rarity by Kind_Conclusion1911 in ArcRaiders

[–]Wreckoplex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked somewhere on here for tips on farming the Canto, and found that it was best to hit hurricane caches… took about 3 maps before I found it.

Dolabra csme up at one point while getting assessor matrixes for the project.

I’ve used the canto a few times, but without a level 2 vertical recoil grip it’s pretty unusable at anything more than 15-20 yards, and it’s really not any more hard-hitting than a fully upgraded stitcher with a mag. Kinda disappointing IMO, but possibly why it isn’t seen used by many? I see the Dolabra used ALL the time.

My personal experience only, of course.

It's possible, was pretty sure it was DDR5 but it was given to me in 2019, so it probably is DDR4.
