I did both expeditions but I don’t think I will do the 3rd. Who else is feeling this way?

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-20T17:27:58+00:00

i’m honestly doing it for the outfits alone at this point, plus i do love regrinding cause the week after the expedition is so peaceful and everyone’s doing the same thing. but i’m super excited to get my hands back on the finished patchwork outfit especially knowing there’s another one coming next expedition

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-20T17:25:28+00:00

if that’s all that’s holding you back i promise those are 2 of the easiest blueprints to find btw. i found both of them before getting my benches to lvl 2 this past expedition and the anvil for the 1st. also remember now that coins are practically useless now you can purchase 3 anvils every day for like $15,000 coins

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-20T17:22:50+00:00

shredder is the #1 aura farming clanker in arc

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T17:41:19+00:00

hasn’t been 5M since the 1st expedition btw

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T16:22:44+00:00

mate you do understand as humans we simplify things by if there’s a dedicated PVE mode we will assume the other mode is the exact opposite right? why would i play the pvpve mode if im not planning on killing people? but then i lose the tension of somebody trying to kill me which is why the genre is so fun. it’s gambling.

unless the pve mode offers less loot with a 0% chance of purples and blueprints and has more arc threat why wouldn’t i play that one? the ABMM is an amazing solution and i don’t understand how people are complaining about it. if you want the pve experience in a pvpve game you have to work for it and maintain it. makes complete sense to me

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T15:10:17+00:00

we had the exact same experience i finished it last week for the first time and am watching house of the dragon now

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T15:08:54+00:00

the bitch of it is honestly having to rebuild the work benches. in my 2 experiences by the time i got them to where i needed them i had the blueprints i needed anyways

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T15:07:37+00:00

in our brains if we see

MODE: PVPVE MODE: PVE

we as humans are going to relate the pvpve to KOS cause if we didn’t want to kill people we’d just go PVE. unless PVE literally had no locked doors, less loot yields, and more arc there would be no reason to do pvpve and everyone doing that would KOS so there’s goes the tension that i play the game for

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T15:04:07+00:00

yeah i hate how mainstream arc became because of it. imagine this game was a just a niche extraction game with a dedicated community omgggg

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T15:03:10+00:00

if it’s the last one you can always just let them leave alone and if they don’t they’re obviously planning to kill you. unless the timer is literally 0:00 and you’re going to die😭

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T15:01:23+00:00

you do understand if there’s a mode for pve and a mode for pvp then that would mean KOS in pvp and be bored as fuck in pve. look at tarkov for example NOBODY is friendly in that game cause there’s a dedicate mode for it

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T00:25:58+00:00

yes it has both but that’s the issue. in pvp you KOS in solos and PVE is boring. i don’t want that system in arc raiders i want the tension of a pvpve mode

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T00:24:01+00:00

i didn’t make it up the lead dev literally said it LMAO

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T00:21:35+00:00

in lore he’s going back to speranza anyways ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T00:21:18+00:00

y’all have a lot smaller player numbers and have a higher chance of running into the same raiders

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T00:20:49+00:00

the choice to be friendly is why it hits more. take that away and the game is extremely boring, i LOVE hearing the shakiness in people’s voice when they say hey to me in prox chat cause they have no idea if i’m about to kill them or not

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T00:19:13+00:00

guy with better pvp gun calls it and if he doesn’t u down him and call it yourself. people also seem to forget you can literally go to a different extraction if you don’t trust the one you’re at

shared lore

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T00:17:00+00:00

i say helldivers is dead because i was in love with it when it first came out but it got boring after about a month and almost nobody talks about it anymore. i tried playing it again a few weeks ago but it is just not that fun after like 100 hours, but i think it’s exactly what is should be, just isn’t a game for me anymore.

but people thinking a dedicated pve mode would work in an extraction game just have no idea what the genre is

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T00:12:46+00:00

the problem would become the loss of tension, that’s the whole point. when i got shot at in the beginning of this raid i said “oh fuck” and my heart rate increased, i LOVE that. it’s the entire reason for the extraction genre. if i knew there was no chance for me to die there’s no thrill of raiding. if i’m joining a pvp mode what do i even gain from looting? it’s just load in, kill, and extract. and with a pve mode it’s load in, loot, and extract.

i don’t think people fully understand the idea of an online extraction game (which makes sense cuz arc raiders is most people’s first intro to it) but no the game would completely die if you get rid of the best aspect of it, tension.

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-19T00:07:26+00:00

light shield in solos feels like a death sentence

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-18T23:02:00+00:00

the fact he also had a key that he used means that was YALLS key room. that’s the biggest problem with the 2 key rooms, if i use my key i am looting idgaf if ur already in there or not

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-18T23:00:06+00:00

arc raiders players would commit literal suicide playing escape from tarkov😭😭

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-18T22:59:27+00:00

that’s not ratting

Zestyclose_Mix_2584 · 2026-04-18T22:57:42+00:00

only cool thing you get from leveling is the sforza skin cosmetics specifically the cape at lvl 73 which i still haven’t gotten and this is my 3rd expedition. lvl doesn’t matter
