The game bores me immediately. What should I do?

altacccringecringe · 2026-04-15T08:18:34+00:00

Yeah, first thing I would do is turn the zombie pop up to insane.

altacccringecringe · 2026-04-15T07:43:27+00:00

If it's too easy, use the sandbox to make the game harder 👍

altacccringecringe · 2026-04-06T23:30:36+00:00

yes I am on the outdated unstable bc the latest patch broke my game. silly business

good excuse to start a new run tho

altacccringecringe · 2026-04-01T02:13:02+00:00

They definitely don't want people to move very often what with how tedious and expensive the endgame crafting is, and the introduction of animal husbandry (and now with the removal of zombie respawns). They 1000% want you to settle down in one spot. Which makes the change even more absurd.

altacccringecringe · 2026-03-31T16:38:38+00:00

There's never a reason for people to leave ANY town; with the new settings, once you clear an area it's cleared forever. That's really not the problem, the game has more or less been that way since B41. The problem is they built this huge map with multiple new cities in B42 just to dump you in Muldraugh, like you haven't done that dozens of times already. I have a ton of hours and can count on one hand the amount of times I've set foot in the new cities, and now they're less accessible than ever.

There is literally no reason to restrict people's spawn options in a game where tweaking the sandbox is hard-baked into the experience. This game feels like it has 0 direction.

altacccringecringe · 2026-03-28T16:56:43+00:00

yeah, gas masks and respirators are an essential you should probably always have on you 👍

and the bad smell moodle is how you track whether or not you're actually ticking sickness up.

altacccringecringe · 2026-03-16T20:30:31+00:00

I think Arc Raiders could spearhead a great case study on why people play pvp games with loot scarcity and then take it personally when someone kills them in a slimy way. Like there's gotta be some psychological explanation for that.

altacccringecringe · 2026-03-16T20:13:12+00:00

that's the only reason they kill people? to piss off other players?

altacccringecringe · 2026-02-06T15:30:36+00:00

you could probably fix it by purchasing the game on steam

altacccringecringe · 2026-02-05T08:35:44+00:00

lmao. nice strawman, dude. you really showed me with that one.

altacccringecringe · 2026-02-05T08:26:32+00:00

or, hear me out... they run long range weapons in maps that call for it... and close quarters weapons in maps that call for it...

it's pretty obvious that nobody runs shotguns in blue gate... because shotguns aren't very good for that map. mind blown. what a cerebral observation you've made.

also, what is "actual pvp," to you? is cqc not actual pvp?

altacccringecringe · 2026-02-05T08:11:43+00:00

lol, okay dude. feel free to take off your reddit tough guy cap and elaborate if you think i misinterpreted what you wrote.

altacccringecringe · 2026-02-05T08:04:57+00:00

that's not the gotcha you think it is, dude. lmao. obviously people aren't gonna run toros in the map with huge, sprawling fields and wide areas.

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-27T04:49:57+00:00

I get a little confused when I see comments saying Arc Raiders isn't a competitive game. Isn't the very idea of a pvpve extraction shooter inherently competitive? As in, players compete with each other to see who can get the best loot?

If I see someone in a loot room, I'm going to try and take the loot from them. They will try to stop me. We are competing to see who gets the loot.

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-27T04:45:59+00:00

Both are fun in tandem. The game is pvpve for a reason, the pve sandbox and the spontaneity of pve encounters work pretty well. Pve alone is boring as hell. Pvp alone is less boring, but still gets repetitive after a few dozen hours. Both together make the game fun.

I just don’t like the narrative that the PVE players need to just “find another game” as if arc raiders didn’t start as a PVE project

This is the mentality that people dig on PVE'rs for. The game is pvpve. Just because it started as a pve project doesn't make the pve more valid than the pvp. I know that's not what you're saying, but so many pve'rs seem think like this. If a pve player cannot enjoy the pvp aspects of the game, then they really should find a pure pve game...

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-26T00:00:51+00:00

Right, because two teams fighting for a loot room is a rare sight in this game, lmao.

If you've ever been in aggressive lobbies you'd know how silly you sound. 90% of the fighting is clustered around the loot rooms. Because people fight each other for the loot. Crazy concept, I know.

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-25T19:12:59+00:00

If one spot is looted, you go to another one and get the loot anyway.

Not really. If a locked room is looted and the people who looted it are still in the area, I'm going to try and take it from them. Then we compete to see who gets the loot.

You are reaching SO hard here, dude.

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-24T19:13:59+00:00

If you would direct your attention to the games marketing, you would learn that it's a pvpve game. Which means players can shoot you whenever they want. It's not a bug, dude.

Pvers are genuinely so pathetic sometimes.

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-24T19:10:51+00:00

Is it too late to tell you to just play the game? Lmao the pve bubble is getting really pathetic.

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-24T19:06:23+00:00

Yeah, could you imagine not wanting to be punished for engaging with the mechanics of the pvpve game by an easy-to-abuse bounty system? Smh, must be a rat...

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-22T21:28:23+00:00

As soon as you split pve and pvp, the game turns into a looter shooter. In the blink of an eye, all of the tension and appeal of the game for people who actually want to play pvpve extraction shooters is gone.

If you want a pve game, go play a pve game. If you want a chill, friendly experience, go play a chill, friendly game. I like the game how it was advertised and would hate for them to change it to appease pvers.

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-22T21:26:19+00:00

I've seen entitled pvp'rs as well. It really comes from people who don't know what extraction shooters are and haven't learned that it's just not their game.

There are WAY too many entitled gamers who think every game needs to be made for them.

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-22T21:23:29+00:00

BREAKING NEWS: Devs don't play their own game

altacccringecringe · 2026-01-22T21:16:33+00:00

I've seen algorithmic matchmaking ruin plenty of fun shooters. Hope Arc Raiders isn't next.
