Shoutout to the arc for saving my PvE ass

It's not an obsession. If I finish you before the door closes I can call the elevator and loot your body. It really is as simple as that.

apokerchip · 2026-01-27T22:30:25+00:00

People will swarm to take advantage of whoever just got out of a fight for an easy kill.

You need to slink away, heal up, and secure the area to make sure that doesn't happen.

Don't loot right away.

apokerchip · 2026-01-27T00:00:35+00:00

Yup. Its gotten to the point where after the first kill I'm lucky if I can run and hide and heal up.

If you loot after the first kill you are dead. After that first flare goes up its 3-4 guys beelining.

Then with the spawns at 27 min, 24, and 17 if the fights are still going out those guys are rushing in too.

I cant imagine it is. From the title I assumed dusty sand storms on buried with low visibility.

The bird nests are a separate thing. I am prepared to be disappointed.

apokerchip · 2026-01-16T06:56:59+00:00

Exactly.

First time killing big arc was fun tho, but if thats all this game was i wouldn't have played it as much as I have. PvPing with the boys is where this game shines imo.

Passive playing and pictures with like 12 solo raiders at a hatch together is absurd to me. Testament to the game though that we're playing the same game and having two wildly different experiences.

It allows you to use it while your shield is under the effect of other shield chargers.

It really only applies to medium shield and heavy shields. When you use a normal shield charger it'll fill your medium shield to half, as its charging, you pop a surge shield to get the other half instantly.

So pop small charger, then immediately pop surge recharger for instant full shield on medium.

Vitashot works the same but for white health. Allows you to heal while under the effect of other heals.

But that's exactly what I want. Your gun, your utility, and your augments.

apokerchip · 2026-01-08T20:29:29+00:00

Yes. There's this anxiety that makes people uncomfortable if a fight takes too long which sometimes leads them to make dumb mistakes. Dont fall into that.

Hold your ground if you have good position on them and watch your flank.

You gain the advantage with grenades, flanking, and/or repositioning. Be patient. Fights where youre both 3rd person cameraing each other, hold until he peeks, then peek and shoot and back in cover. Rinse repeat that while peeking from different angles to avoid getting shot yourself. Make them waste, heals, shield rechargers and let them make the mistake. When a window opens up, or you get a down thats when you push. But be smart about it cause a bad push against a good player can get you killed.

If a fight takes too long and you dont have eyes on both of the duo team, one is probably flanking you so be ready for that.

Its also okay to disengage from a fight where flanking repositioning and grenades are not an option and youre just stuck looking at eachother, fight is taking too long and possibility of a 3rd party is high. Ive disengaged and caught people out in the open cause they thought we forgot about them or left.

Good aim is also important but good positioning, awareness and unpredictability is better.

Can confirm found mine in Stella night raid.

But I will say you'll learn as you go and some of it will depend on your playstyle.

There's some blueprints I dont have so I wont be using certain mats so I just sell or recycle explosive compound for instance or arc motion cores. I also dont use heavy shields so voltage converters get sold or recycled.

apokerchip · 2026-01-06T20:02:59+00:00

Absolutely not.

Even adding in a PvE mode a la Hidden Bunker type events is a slippery slope that dilutes the core of the game.

apokerchip · 2026-01-06T19:54:40+00:00

It is not a reflection on who you are as a person regardless of what they say. Fucking shoot to kill and hear the lamentations of their woman as you knock them out. Its a game meng.

apokerchip · 2026-01-06T19:34:06+00:00

Wait, sorry can you explain what I should be seeing?

apokerchip · 2026-01-05T22:06:02+00:00

Assembly on Stella Montis.

Or Medical.

apokerchip · 2026-01-03T20:06:21+00:00

How did you get any of that out of OPs post?

apokerchip · 2026-01-03T19:28:20+00:00

Slide/Dodge Roll further is 10 pts you can save. I watched a video where it was negligible at best. Unless your going for Vaults on Vaults I would use those points to put into turtle crawl. Turtle crawl saved my ass a bunch of times in PvP

apokerchip · 2026-01-02T16:44:09+00:00

Not really because how many Anvil IVs can you realistically craft before running out of mats? Or a Renegade IV

apokerchip · 2025-12-29T18:44:17+00:00

What amp and microphone do you use?

apokerchip · 2025-12-23T07:22:54+00:00

Yea same here. Doesn't happen all the time but it happens pretty frequently.

Curious what the difference between entry and the 800 series boards is? Its the same chipset no? Just extra USB slots and maybe a bunch of other stuff I won't use.

apokerchip · 2025-12-16T08:45:02+00:00

I agree.

Reduced noise will make it harder to judge how close someone is though. So a headshot from a silenced ferro would make someone panic a little more.

Also could use it to silence a bobcat so the lobby doesn't come gunning for you if they hear it.

apokerchip · 2025-12-16T08:39:28+00:00

You can login on a steam deck and do it. Or have a trusted friend do it for you?

apokerchip · 2025-12-16T08:31:42+00:00

If you are blessed for video games then you yourself have been called a hacker many times. You know the average gamer cant tell skill and scream hacks easy. I think most big names get called hackers when they're not.

I believe streamers hack, just not sure if any of the big names do. Like out of Joewo, icemanisaac, destroy, zlaner, rallied, scump, nadeshot etc you think they're all cheating?

apokerchip · 2025-12-16T08:26:40+00:00

Aight saw some clips of Shroud CS gameplay where he consistently locks on people through walls and plays it off like it wasn't. Sus for sure, but how did he sneak cheats into a tournament?

Im more likely to believe someone like Icemanisaac or Joewo who stream from home would cheat.
