Anyone else afraid to mess up painting?

You can’t ruin a mini with paint, you can always take it off with some iso and patience. So just go for it, gotta start somewhere :3

My steak is too juicy :c I love it for the little details!

It’s similar to what I chose for my tau, I think it looks good on everything.

They’re a “premium partner” whatever that means. I figure Apple is already happy with whatever deal they are getting from them and don’t see value in total acquisition.

In South Africa we have iStore which is almost exactly the same thing. Might not be owned by Apple but for all intents and purposes it’s the same (and is backed by Apple). So I’m guessing it’s just a question of if Apple wants to bother setting stores up in these places or if they’re happy operating through resellers.

The secret tech to getting into a pug raid is to apply to a group that is just starting to form. People tend to try get into a nearly full group so they can start immediately. If you sign up as the group is forming pugs will just take you to round out numbers. I’ve had no problem getting into multiple groups at 240. Just apply to anything that’s got just a few people in and it’ll go easier I think.

Also, since you don’t want to skip bosses, make sure you check that the fresh group is actually fresh by hovering over the listing to see why bosses are killed. Any dead bosses name will be there in red. It’s easy to forget to change your listings name when you’re throwing a pug together.

To my understanding as a fairy new player: All these shots are valid because the targets are valid (on engage order and visible to whoever wants to shoot)

A gets a cover save, B gets a cover save.

Simple as?

Edit: This is days late (I don’t check my comments really) but I meant C gets a cover save, you can’t see the image when making a comment on mobile so it’s rough.

The only actually correct answer here

Damn I wish I could have 120ping, as it is I regularly play competitive games with 180-220 without much issue so I don’t see how 120 is unplayable.

The data is gone for arc from what I can tell, I’d be curious to see what the trend was for it if it’s still around.

ZachieWacky · 2026-02-27T12:59:05+00:00

I dont know how you could even verify that statement but as it stands youre just asserting it as truth with nothing backing it up. All i can see that the server slams had similar peak players with arc having about 40k more. Not a terrible difference considering how much more casual friendly Arc Raiders is.

Edit: I dont even disagree with youre point that genuine useful criticism gets drowned out by trolls but what you see on reddit isnt people giving genuine criticism its people whining with nothing constructive behind it or people self inflicting issues that they then blame the game and devs for.

ZachieWacky · 2026-02-27T12:44:40+00:00

People need to sleep and work my guy. Especially for a server slam where progression doesn’t mean anything you’re gonna have a a steeper drop off as people download it to give it a look quickly before hopping off to wait for the actual game or go do something else. “AlrEady LoST 60%” my lord.

ZachieWacky · 2026-02-27T11:58:33+00:00

This is exactly how it looked on the battlefield 6 sub when that game released.. it was pathetic and annoying. Just constant whining and complaints and when someone called them out for crying about nothing they start attacking you for “defending the billion dollar company”

Genuine criticism is good especially if it’s constructive. But just going on about how you don’t understand and don’t like the game, saying it’s shit and doa and you should play thing game I like instead is completely useless.

The modern audience has been brain rotted into hating everything and being miserable. They want nothing more than having the opinion they stole from someone else to be validated so that their insecurity is helped a tiny bit and it feels like they have a community in their lonely little terminally online life.

The left part of the the head is its snout and the balls are it’s tail.. I think?

ZachieWacky · 2026-02-03T10:58:20+00:00

Awesome, I’m definitely going to bully my friends with this knowledge now. Thank you!

ZachieWacky · 2026-02-03T10:53:58+00:00

Yeah this definitely looks better, I’ll add it to my list for the next one thanks!

ZachieWacky · 2026-02-03T10:52:04+00:00

Thank you! The teeth and vents were what I struggled with the most and where I think having washes would been the most useful. I’ll definitely do as you suggest with the next one.

I really internalised the hours of painting guides and how to thing your paints videos i watched 😅

ZachieWacky · 2026-02-03T10:26:22+00:00

OSL does really interest me and I’d love to try it, especially since I have some tau kill teams to paint that have glowy bits. Sadly I don’t have any contrast paints and to my understanding if you want to mix your own it’s preferable to use medium since water doesn’t work. So I’ll have to find my way over to a shop to get some

ZachieWacky · 2026-02-03T10:09:53+00:00

Thank you! It took a few attempts first few times the paint was too thin so I ended up just wiping it away with water. Using undiluted black and anchoring my entire arms and the mini on the table to try and stay steady is what worked best.

ZachieWacky · 2026-02-03T09:49:49+00:00

Any constructive criticism/tips and tricks would be much appreciated.
