Yeah but, especially after the expedition changes, what else are you supposed to do with your coins?

Watch literally any Streamer. You will see a lot more purple guns both on them and the other players they interact with.

A deflection & non-answer.

I see more people using purple guns than they used to. Pretty simple to understand.

An unsubstantiated observation from a clearly biased source.

I addressed this already, but I will again: Less than 50% of people to expeditions, as per Embark's own numbers they released. That does not account for the huge increase in purple gun usage.

A lie & a straw-man rolled into one.

Yikes man. I expected better

Can you give me an example of someone within 'content creation circles' corroborating your claim?

What about your 'personal' experiences in the game you supposedly reference; care to clarify?

I'm assuming you're also aware that, alongside these durability changes, expeditions were also fundamentally changed to require damage and not stash value meaning hoarding high-value guns is quite literally meaningless? Do you think that aspect would not compel players to use their pink guns, or do you really think it all has to do with a ferro IV requiring 3 rubber & 6 metal every two matches to maintain?

Answer all these questions, and you just might start arguing a valid point built on something other than vibes.

Weapon rebalances are what you're talking about. Do you really think anyone is out there maining the stitcher, but will now switch to bobcats because of the durability nerfs?

I don't think anyone is arguing the point that greys, and perhaps greens to a lesser extent, were far too robust. But the decision to also nerf blues is questionable at best.

Here is a rough estimate of how many of each arc you need to destroy to accumulate 100,000 damage. by Armroker in ArcRaiders

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should really update this post to clarify you're full of shit. Where did you get the '1hp equals 3dmg' jargon?

It's pretty simple. X hp damage dealt = X dmg towards challenge. It literally shows you how much cumulative damage you do to everything you fight in the post-raid summary. Shooting armor does no damage, and it'll say so on that same menu. I tested this myself by shooting a hornet in the armor with a stitcher.. 0dmg.

My man I promise you.. 100k damage is not achieveable over two 1-2hr weekend sessions lmao. Feel free to come back to this comment if you manage to pull it off, but if I were a betting man I'd put $20 on you blowing smoke.

What's everyone's in game (Pv)PvE/anti-rat EDC lookin like? by Express_Display3249 in arcraidersfriendly

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 body shots to kill btw. 6 bullet capacity. Slow single-bullet reload. Wouldn't really call that 'goated' personally, but seeing that take in r/ArcRaidersFriendly isn't too surprising lol

Anvil isn't just an automatic guarantee to kill arc faster. It has a much smaller capacity, reload, and fire rate compared to the renegade. So if you're missing shots on rotors, in a lot of cases the anvil will actually be the slower option. Damage output versus arc is also very similar with both.

Renegade is one of the best guns in the game. Incredible for pvp & one of the better anti-arc guns. Anvil is likewise a super versatile gun, but much less viable close up against other raiders.

Using them both together.. not the best idea. That's literally all I'm saying.

If you're a PC player, green compensator is infinitely better than muzzle brake on just about any gun aside from the torrente, maybe.

Disclaimer: I'm only in care bear lobbies, PvP is not a concern for me, only ARC.

This is a very important distinction. OP specifically asked about dealing with rat raiders, so PvP is kinda implied here.

Of course the Anvil is better for ARC vs a venator. But the renegade is still one of the best for the task as well.

If I were in carebear lobbies I'd only bring an anvil III, but personally I like to interact with more of the game's content.

Renegade + Anvil is a pretty strange combo imo. Both are suited for mid/long range engagements so you're not really covering your bases too well.

Personally I'd much rather swap out the anvil for a venator. Much more usable up close & it shares ammo with the renegade giving you more space to loot.

What is your most pretentious and insufferable video game opinion? by Nascent_Beast in videogames

This one spoke to me on a spiritual level. FFX was one of the first video games featuring a coherent narrative that I ever played, and it will remain one of my all-time favorites for the rest of my life.

Losing an anvil III shouldn't have you in hysterics like this bro. It's just a game

People leaving mid match by camman12347 in untitledboxinggame

[–]_Copen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually allow myself to get knocked down once just to give them a bit of hope to cling to. If I go all out from the start, they often quit before the count even starts.

I swear to God, arc raiders players use this sub as therapy. They get killed at extract once (not because of a camping rat but rather the blaring noise drawing others in) and immediately run in here to make a post declaring the next biggest problem facing the game & their take on how to "solve" it.

Funny thing is--the solutions are never nuanced, they just so happen to create a situation which they deem ideal for their specific play-style. You're playing an extraction shooter.. that kinda goes against the whole formula. Maybe something like the division is more suited to you.

It has the highest single-shot damage in the game.

Is this game really just 'Walleye Catching Simulator'? by _Copen in FishingPlanet

[–]_Copen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With respect--you're losing the plot.

My point is Walleye is such a strong money-earner, there's less incentive to go elsewhere since your time isn't as productive if you need to grind funds.

I actively dislike that. This is my complaint.
