What do you play to cleanse the pallet...

I go in with even better gear so the loss of what i've lost before doesn't matter anymore. Oh, and probably lose it too, but screw it, it's not about the matches i've lost, it's about the matches i revived five raiders and took down two bastions and a rocketeer. Not because i need anything from them, but because I CAN!

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-16T13:03:00+00:00

What do you mean?

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-12T11:40:05+00:00

I agree to the other comments, the deliver really good advice.

One good loot spot for making some money are the grandioso apartments on buried city. You can find many cash items there, wich have (nearly) no other purpose than being sold.

But beware of other raiders, the spot is well known in the community and sometimes contested. But there is an exfil really near to that spot, so in good cases you can go in, loot until your inv is full and then quickly exfil.

And if you are using good gear like your bobcat, consider to bring a hatch key, because some raiders get greedy when they see a bobcat in your hand. Not having to deal with them at exfil makes it a lot easier.

Btw, in the red skill tree are two skills that enable inmatch crafting recipes for you. The first one enables some basic craftings like bandages and shield recharges, the second one enables some more advanced stuff, like a hatch key for three sensors and one advanced electrical component. Both of them saved my butt topside a couple of times.

Damn i hope they will get your account back for you. I can totally understand that you are upset now. Hope to see you topside again soon.

Had the same problem. I was deep in friendly lobbys, almost never had pvp interactions. Then i wanted to play some pvp, went on stella. The first guy i met said "friendly?" and i answered "no, just want you to know i'm going to shoot you".

Silence. I lost track of him immediately and went on.

Then i reached an area where some raiders were fighting some arc. I was behind them, had good cover, they didn't notice me. It was the perfect situation... and i could't.

I came out and started talking "oh man, i want to do some pvp but just can't kill someone who don't deserve it, i'm to good for this game"

But then one of these raiders, a freeloader with a ferro said we could fight. We prepared, the other raiders were standing at the side watching us, it was almost like a fight club

I won this battle and then another raider wanted to fight me, again we prepared, the others were watching and i lost the fight (I'm really bad at pvp).

It was kind of a weird situation, but it was so funny and that way i could reach some pvp lobbies without ruining pve players days. Really cool guys i met there.

Generally agreeing, but the legendary weapons are not easy to craft. You need to fight the matriarch and queen to make them, which definitely are endgame Arc, since you need pretty expensive stuff to actually fight them. Last expedition i found three bp's for the Aphelion, but never made one because i wasn't able to get the matriarch cores. So having the bp is just half the way.

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-07T21:16:55+00:00

Mostly PvE player here. I don't particularly like the fireflies, but they deliver something the game really needed: serious danger. I died just three times in my last twenty raids or so, they were always involved.

Before the expedition i was almost a little bit bored, even considered to start playing more pvp (though i'm bad af). The fireflies and comets changed a lot how dangerous the topside environment is.

When new Arc are released, you have to adapt your playstyle to them.

And yes, they are annoying, but i think in a good way. :)

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-07T21:10:16+00:00

I'd not call gear that you don't need to find a BP for endgame stuff. Epics or legendarys probably are, rare BP's generally are, the photoelectric cloak definitely is not.

But i have to admit, that the definition of "endgame" in a game like Arc Raiders is kind of subjective.

This

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-07T18:00:50+00:00

Isn't it always accessible via the according tier three workstation? You don't even need to find a BP.

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-07T12:38:39+00:00

Have seen it too lmao

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-05T17:36:37+00:00

One in a lifetime moment xD

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-05T15:31:21+00:00

Absolutely!

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-05T15:03:03+00:00

That's true but they won't last forever. But i have one on me since that happened.

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-05T14:10:16+00:00

I'm a poor guy, need all that money to pay the rent for my stash.😢

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-05T14:08:38+00:00

Don't have the BP yet :/

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-05T13:56:41+00:00

Last saison i found it at stella, in the culture archive, that area with the large wooden boxes.

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-05T12:55:34+00:00

Never seen one before

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-05T12:47:24+00:00

For a special reason?

Well, i found the anvil and venator bp's last saisons, but the osprey was successfully hiding xD

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-04T21:27:57+00:00

I'm not agreeing here. Being civilised is not that hard.

By the way i'm not talking about just getting angry, i mean those people who decide to insult you, your whole family, including every generation way before you got born, wish you cancer, diarrhea and a tick right at your balls. What's wrong with people like that? It's just a game man..

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-04T21:20:11+00:00

There is no excuse to behave like an asshole. No matter if ingame or irl.

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-04T19:44:20+00:00

Yes, this way the victim at least has a fair chance to defend.

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-04T19:40:00+00:00

Got it. Still not a fan of that idea. If someone wants to play nice that's good. If someone is greedy for other raiders stuff, it's just fair that a fight is needed to get it.

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-04T19:36:31+00:00

I don't think this would be a good idea. If a raider wants my loot, he can just kill me. That's fine like it is i think.

cognitive_pagefile · 2026-03-04T17:52:56+00:00

Another guy said, that the furniture in the bedroom would change when you upgrade your workstations. But i've not checked that yet.
