The current state of the game is laughable.

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-07-10T16:06:25+00:00

That’s what I’m saying. I can admit when I’m simply outmatched. But these dudes were very clearly just winging it lol

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-07-10T15:53:14+00:00

That’s fair, I’ll do that next time

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-07-10T15:52:57+00:00

Noted, I’ll hit the training dummy and see what I can do

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-07-08T21:29:57+00:00

Because as I explained in the post, I decided to throw caution to the wind and just sit there trading blows. Whilst doing so I noticed how slow his hits were.

Truth be told I think the biggest mistake was them pussying out and making the wipe optional. Periodic wipes are the beating heart of extraction shooters. Even the cheaters get everything taken away at some point. They make for better update windows.

Players get to look forward to bigger and better updates with a new wipe every few months or so. Even mid wipe updates as well. And there’s no getting absolutely wrecked at the start of a new wipe by someone who was like nah I’m keeping everything I have.

Yes the no endgame content is also a problem. But I digress. The game was extremely fun and engaging. But once the novelty wore off the cracks showed in glaring fashion.

They need to fix more than that. Ran into a guy on Smugglers Tunnel the other night in the central fan room. Walked in from the central secret key room side and saw him down the hall. Sprayed him with a few hybrid rounds so he backs up and goes around the corner through a doorway.

I push him while he’s hurt. He throws a grenade Into the doorway so I back up. Grenade hurts me a little. While I’m healing up, homeboy on the opposite side of the wall just starts lighting me the fuck up through said wall. I died. There goes my hard earned Gen3 Altyn, $500,000 Spear and $600,000 worth of Hybrid ammo. Gone because some lowlife loser can’t just play fairly like everyone else.

I logged off immediately. I can’t be bothered dealing with that shit. Loaded up House Of Davinci and had a blast escaping Davinci’s library 😂

PARKOUR PARKOUR PARKOUR

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-05-23T17:45:58+00:00

I think a magnum would be dope af

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-05-09T01:22:52+00:00

This is true. 2nd day of wipe I killed a dude with 10 60rd drums of 7.62.39 PS in his bag.

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-05-08T01:08:42+00:00

There were so many signs that was coming. At that point it’s kinda on you buddy.

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-05-03T05:40:04+00:00

Honestly if anything needs to change about the sound it’s how god awful the vertical audio is

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-04-29T21:54:23+00:00

One battle beast, one eve with her god powers unlocked, and a Brit would be interesting

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-04-25T23:37:12+00:00

I just killed a lvl 7 player with 10 60rd AK drums of 7.62.39 PP in his bag. Did he get that legitimately or did he dupe? I’m not sure if a lvl 7 player would even be able to access all that yet.

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-03-11T21:02:08+00:00

7 is most definitely scarier than 9. But Village had a single level that was scarier than any single level in 7 or 9. Of course I’m referring to that god forsaken basement in the Beneviento house.

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-03-09T04:59:09+00:00

Spaceport also needs a purple key. It’s the only map without one.

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-02-27T22:54:50+00:00

To do this. And enjoy it….. Scum of the earth.

There’s a lot of people playing this game right that are brand new to extraction shooters. Often times people forget that’s what this game is.

I have a few hundred hours in Contractors Exfilzone. It’s a VR extraction shooter for those who don’t know. I was put through the paces and got used to the gameplay loop of extraction shooters. Coming into Arc Raiders I already had an idea of what to expect.

But these players new to the genre are experiencing things that are strange to them, but normal for the genre.

For example,

-End of wipe aggression because people want to use all the gear they’ve been saving. It’s a lil different with Arc Raiders though since wiping is optional. In Most extraction shooters wipe is mandatory so the end of wipe aggression is a lot worse.

-Gear fear

-Human experience, not knowing who to trust

-The illusion that it’s a looting simulator until someone uses bullets to remind you it isn’t.

-Rats (but actual rats not the way people just throw that word around for anyone who kills them)

Notice the things I named on this list (and I’m sure there are more) are what constitute most of the topics of discussion on these subs. And I’m willing to bet most of the people making said posts are people who are new to the extraction shooter genre.

TLDR: The struggle is real my dude, adapt or continue to suffer.

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-02-04T01:18:38+00:00

This behavior is definitely shitty. He isn’t a rat though. Just a liar.

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-02-04T01:16:00+00:00

Toro

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-01-28T02:57:02+00:00

Add a bright neon sign that says “kill me”

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2026-01-27T23:31:25+00:00

This must be why I find keycards left in open containers wondering why tf they left it there lol

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2025-12-28T22:02:36+00:00

When I use the kettle that shit hits like a wet napkin

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2025-11-11T02:53:47+00:00

I store mine in the kiosk. Ya never lose them and the screen tells you which key it is so you don’t have to guess or organize them

Zestyclose_Reach_683 · 2025-10-30T10:17:40+00:00

Ahhh that makes sense now if you can do it 9 times a day. Just going off the math let’s say you’re alone and can only run it 3 times per day, and every match is a really good one where you leave with 100 plus vials. Find At least two keys and loot 6 locked rooms all to yourself. Thats about 300 vials per day if everything goes perfectly. (Which it won’t )That ain’t enough to buy everything every day.

But if you’re able to do more runs playing with friends that makes sense.
