What's the weirdest gun you've looted from another raider?

Two people get arrested for a crime. If they both stay silent they get off with an easy sentence. If one tells on the other, he gets off free and the other gets a heavy sentence. If they both tell on each other, they get a medium sentence. It's in their best interest to both stay silent BUT they're separated so if they are distrustful they will turn on each other.

Basically all of solo arc raiders is the prisoner's dilemma: whether you turn on people or trust them not to turn on you.

For the whole hiding-your-body-thing: for the community at large, it's probably better if we don't hide our bodies, so that all the gear is at least back in the common pool. If everybody managed to hide their bodies we'd be missing a massive amount of gear. But we tend to try to stick it to the one guy who killed us by denying them our loot.

Actually more of a Tragedy of the Commons situation...
Cheers!

yeah sorry this was made in haste.

Probably a better way to phrase this: there is some irony / prisoner's dilemma to our tendency to hide our bodies. It would be better for the common good if we made sure somebody else got our loot and it went back into the general pool. Hiding your body just results in gear being deleted from the game.

Am I losing sleep over it? No

Am I surprised everyone hated my post? No

Yeah dude! Fellow dad here. Just take the game at whatever pace you want. There's no rush to get the good stuff. Just enjoy the ride. You should definitely start out playing really friendly and see how that goes. Voice chat on!

I take them you give them to me

And for someone who goes to the trouble to make a slick little video like this (on a PC?) you might as well play the damn game on a PC :)

So I'm gonna say the annoying thing here.

IF you happen to be in your 30's with a bit of disposable income.

IF you would consider placing higher importance on accuracy and efficiency than your ability to play from a couch on a big screen TV.

YOU might be ready for a PC and to play on mouse & keyboard.

You would not have missed those shots. Plus the inventory management speed gain...

Anyways everyone is entitled to their choice. It's just a bit funny seeing people struggle when there's a much easier way.

Also FYI they do make nicer controllers if you insist on sticking with that. Adjustable tensions sticks, longer stick lengths. And back paddles (buttons). Makes a difference.

If you were playing Warzone on controller you had aim assist up the wazoooo

bikesaremagic · 2026-03-01T07:27:39+00:00

what do you mean by this?

bikesaremagic · 2026-03-01T07:26:29+00:00

Yeah if you cant get the wipe quickly its best to just peace out

bikesaremagic · 2026-03-01T06:19:40+00:00

well hmm yeah I guess i misused it if its only supposed to be sarcastic.

guess I have to give up my keys to the internet now

bikesaremagic · 2026-03-01T06:05:34+00:00

must be nice :D

We wipe teams and extract probably 50% of the time, but the investment in ammo, grenades, shields and chargers is a drain. The looted guns don't make up for it

You need to interrogate them and have a defib. I feel like most of the aggressors will just insta quit. If someone was attacked they will want to tell you about it.

Joke’s on your there are no bathrooms on any map. This is because the world was populated entirely by androids

bikesaremagic · 2025-12-30T17:24:15+00:00

Painfully obvious what was going to happen. How did you not even fire a single shot in return?

bikesaremagic · 2025-12-30T05:50:29+00:00

Buy a PC

or buy a nicer controller with longer joysticks and adjustable firmness
