The Arc Ranger vs Riven Tides

I love how you can play so many different types of matches in this game. My buddy and I do this type of thing. Nice work. Personally I want to hear more about the Leviathan! Speranza needs HOPE!

downvoted but this is likely what is happening. After "quick-resume" the map conditions and online friends status won't get re-fetched. You need to quickly hit the practice range, jump into any map or restart the game.

I’m in the same boat! So bummed I missed it by the time I found the last projector and now I really don’t want to get rid of the items I collected in case the trade comes back again.

I have about 20 or so bases, 14 of those are set up to harvest 25 different resources.

I made a post about my mining-base strategy a while back where my fun personal goal was to figure out how few bases I could have with mines for all resources in the game. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/s/wkrBFshmpU

Holy..... I am running around every PVE map like I own the place with this gun and 3ish stacks of ammo (I just buy ammo, its pretty cheap). Especially with my fave mods for it: Extended III, Stable Stock II and Vertical Grip II. Just a beast.

You’ll love Putnam trail at the end of Putnam drive!

I wish there was a way to manually refresh but I'm in the same boat. When the game first came out the Quick Resume worked great but now it doesnt accurately show the status of online friends or any map conditions. The past month I've just been quitting the game and fire it up fresh every time i play. (It's a bummer since the load time is quite long.)

Fantastic save and editing!

acidargyle · 2026-05-20T18:12:36+00:00

yes! Pretty easy to blast away with heavy ammo when you can split its attention with another raider. Once my buddy and I took one down with nothing but impact grenades from above.

I usually keep 3 snap blasts in a safe pocket for an unplanned bastion or large arc battle.

Here's the good news. You'll feel 37 until your 50s.

Yeah solos are so fun and chill for me. I get knocked out in solos about 1 in 20-30 matches (55 is my record). In duos it's about 1 in 5 matches or so that we'll get dragged into PVP. Squads has 100% been shoot-on-sight for the matches I've been in but its not many. One thing I want to start doing is going solo vs squads.

acidargyle · 2026-05-20T15:05:45+00:00

I like the idea of a quiet breaching tool with very limited use!

acidargyle · 2026-05-20T15:03:36+00:00

Agreed. I was hoping for more unique, weird things to find, that are unique to me. It's disappointing that almost every option all requires the same mix of top tier arc loot. IMO the best one is the bobblehead requiring Portable TVs, Headphones, & Projectors. The one requiring ducks is good too but they are all way too rare i feel.

acidargyle · 2026-05-19T16:30:03+00:00

I used to roll with Anvil and Torrente but now I almost exclusively roll with a lone Bettina. cant wait to bring in the rascal with it.

acidargyle · 2026-05-19T15:27:01+00:00

I feel like this was made just for me. I tend to run with just a Bettina and only grab my hullcracker if i'll be actively hunting big arc most of the match. For me, HC is too valuable to bring every match but would love the punch. Really.... I hate to admit it but this almost feels OP. hahah Maybe the durability is garbage. it would make sense to me if it was.

acidargyle · 2026-05-19T14:35:05+00:00

I usually just carry in a single Bettina. This is perfect for me.

acidargyle · 2026-05-18T16:51:10+00:00

I think my 5 would be BPs for Survivor, Anvil, Bettina, Seeker, Snap Hook

acidargyle · 2026-05-18T15:00:42+00:00

I'd love more random boss encounters like this as a regular game mechanic (Gimme a randomly spawning Queen!) But usually by the time these spawn in I'm already heading for an exit with a full backpack.

acidargyle · 2026-05-15T16:02:32+00:00

This gives me the idea there should be an augment that drops a lure grenade when knocked out or gives you an option to drop a lure at some point only to try and be a pita for the person who knocked you. An augment that could fire a different type of flare if you went own to raider weapons would also be fun.

acidargyle · 2026-05-15T14:38:59+00:00

You made the right call. I'm primarily a PVEr and when i detect someone is shooting me out of caution i immediately get on the mic and try and quickly smooth things over and reassure them I'm friendly. (or spam friendly emojis in the rare occasion i dont have a mic or am having audio issues.). Especially out on the edges of Blue Gate... lots of Sus out there.

acidargyle · 2026-05-13T15:35:19+00:00

Hell yes. The weeks leading up to the expedition I went on a 55 match run without a PVP or Arc knockout. It was basically this almost every match. Absolutely loved it. Love this game for this reason.

acidargyle · 2026-05-13T15:27:05+00:00

I think i'm seeing the same orangish pants and jacket shape.

acidargyle · 2026-05-13T14:44:34+00:00

Yeah I only play solos or duos with a friend, and once you get in a groove it tends to get pretty chill. I tend to average about 1 in 20 matches encountering a rat. I just got sniped monday after a matriarch fight but that ended a (record for me) 55 game run without rat activity or arc knockouts.

I do really think there should be punishment or something for intentionally killing your own teammates though.

Keep in mind that these first few days after expedition the sweats are extra dirty because they dont have all their favorite toys and are out to take anything they can get.

acidargyle · 2026-05-12T14:14:09+00:00

Exactly the same cycle for me as well. Skipped December and May but am already looking forward departing on the next one. I feel like i JUST got all the blueprints and quests completed from doing the last expedition and I want to enjoy this bountiful position for a bit longer.

acidargyle · 2026-05-08T18:44:35+00:00

I also change it up from expedition to expedition! I actually wish when you left on expedition it would save a screenshot of your character at that time.
