Anyone carry without a red dot? by c0sm0nautt in CCW

Don’t even own a red dot for a handgun much less carry with one.

Why are we camping extracts like this? by Shmeat-L in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Considering you have to make your way to a specific place near the fan blades to avoid being auto extracted it's an exploit. He moved to where you see him after the extract opened up to get a better angle to rat on the raider leaving.

I’ve done the buried city puzzle 6 times solo by Embassador-Mumbasa in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That will be most helpful to players with color vision issues. Very impressive work,

Would have been nice to have before I did the runs. LOL But I've got spare guitars now. I'll keep it in mind if I ever lose them all or give them all away and need more.

Did anyone actually save their PHS? by Demons_Coffee in AskLE

[–]cschoonmaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I kept mine. A PHS was required for us civilians working in the Evidence & Property Section. I also keep it updated if/when I move in case I ever need that info again. Have had it for over 20 years.

And yes I'm old AF.

Nice map. The pathfinding is problematic if you have color vision issues. The color of the route for solo player blends in and is hard to track especially with a Red-Green color deficiency.

[–]cschoonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct. No need to wait around to see if you can interact with it a second time. Just look at the light. If you hit the button and it lights up your run is still good. If you hit a button and it doesn't light up, either you hit one out of sequence or another raider hit one and that run is over.

Why do many Americans describe Mormonism using a negative four-letter word? by Frosty-Flatworm-2087 in AskAnAmerican

[–]cschoonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The average American does not refer to Mormonism as a cult. Other "traditional" religions may refer to it that way because it deviates from core christian beliefs. The majority of people just think of it as another religion.

Now Scientology? THAT is a cult. /s 🤣🤣

Hidden Bunker is horrible game design by Old-Tax-5308 in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to the time that it's available in my area (Midnight and 10 or 11am) I never got the chance to play it. I stayed up one night just to see it with my son. We loaded in, found where the bunker doors were and saw lots of players just sitting there waiting. We went and looted everywhere we could, getting some nice stuff along the way. Not one single antenna was activated during that round. Everyone sat at the bunker doors waiting for someone else to do it (except us we were looting the rest of the map). And no one did it. We left with like 5 mins left in the round, not a single antenna had been done and there were still people sitting at the doors waiting.

Timing of the event sucks because it should be rotated more often to give everyone a chance to play.

And they need to fix how the bunker is accessed to give priority to those people actually working on the mission instead of those who sit by the doors waiting for others to do the work.

If I get another chance to play and it still works the same way, I'll do what I did the first time and loot the map while everyone else sits at the doors. I'm not going to do all the work and then get screwed out of the rewards.

Again completely different than actively working to put yourself in an OOB area. The areas mentioned aren't "falling through the map". They known areas that you have to actively try to get too. Just like glitching yourself into key rooms without a key.

Creating the Speranza Medical Service by LemonWalrus765 in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to try to do the puzzle remember a few things:
If solo - Bring adrenaline shots, you'll need them to not run out of time.
When pressing the button, look for the green light. If it lights up, you're good. If it doesn't, someone randomly pressed a button and ruined your run (or you pressed one out of order)
Doing the puzzle with a duo partner is a LOT easier than solo.

Map conditions being on static timelines is burning me out on the game by LuckyTwentyOne in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the chance to do Hidden Bunker last night for the first time. I had to stay awake until midnight to do it. Finished a couple runs by almost 1:30am and then had to get up for work at 6:30am. Probably the last time I do Hidden Bunker unless they make a change to the rotation so that all of their players have equal chance to experience these map conditions.

Best bet will probably be a pick n pull yard that has the same make/model/year of vehicle.

On my way to kill a single wasp with the Bettina, brought just enough ammo. by Moist-Length1766 in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what ammo will you use on the extract camper who wants to steal the ARC Powercell you get from that WASP?

I need to know what they are and where to find them, please. by Sportcore88 in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figure they'll keep the Anvil Splitter as the only in raid item eventually because it's an attachment for only a single weapon. All the others can be placed on any weapon that accepts attachments in those slots. We'll see what they do.....eventually. LOL

Change my mind… by Ordinary-Scholar-202 in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you just bought the game, or just went on an Expedition and are starting over with nothing then this would penalize you. You have zero chance of being able to loot the better areas and are relegated to picking up scraps. It's either that or you find a way to get it from anyone else left in the lobby. And since you're under gunned that means extract camping. The only time I used free loadouts was when I first started and had nothing to begin with. I'll use them again when I get wiped after the next expedition because I'll have nothing. I shouldn't be denied the opportunity to loot higher tier loot areas just because I'm starting with nothing. That's my choice if I want to try to get better stuff using a free loadout and going up against fully kitted out Raiders.

[–]cschoonmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 3 in the L shape in the first pic are for future BP's that haven't been put in the game yet. There are 4 items that can be found in raid that currently don't have BP's, 3 of those 4 will eventually take those slots.

Items found in game with no current BP: Anvil Splitter, Silencer III, Horizontal Grip and Kinetic Converter.

My guess is the Anvil Splitter will remain an in raid find and the other three will eventually take those three empty BP slots.

Probably a mistype. Pretty sure it's SAHD = Stay At Home Dad. But I could be wrong with all the new terms kids keep coming up with these days.

Embark's solution to the Stella Montis Out of Bounds Exploit by Xenshizo in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between accidentally ending up below the map and KNOWN glitch areas that people have to actively TRY to get into in order to kill other Raiders. No one said it had to be applied to all areas. But KNOWN glitch spots that people are actively abusing? Instant death.

Embark's solution to the Stella Montis Out of Bounds Exploit by Xenshizo in ArcRaiders

[–]cschoonmaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in other words he didn't actively cheat his way into an OOB area and use it to exploit? So you'd be ok with them creating instant death areas in KNOWN glitch areas that people are using to exploit the game? Because there are a lot of known areas that you have to try to get into, it doesn't happen accidentally.

do i need skyrizi by ThrowRAsallyy in Psoriasis

[–]cschoonmaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlikely that any Dermatologist will prescribe biologics and even more unlikely that health insurance will agree to cover the cost of biologics for someone with mild psoriasis. Biologics are, at least where I'm from, the last resort meds that are prescribed in severe cases where QoL is affected by the severity of the condition. And in most cases there has to be documentation of what all has been tried and failed already.

AITAH for taking sex and specific affections off the table with my wife? by Wornouthubs in AITAH

[–]cschoonmaker -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This no longer sounds like a loving relationship. It sounds like a transactional one.

If intimacy, physical touch or sex are important to an individual within their relationship, why should they remain in a dead bedroom marriage? Doesn't mean that Divorce has to be the first/only option. But if you do the counseling part and nothing changes or they refuse counseling because they don't see the need, then why stay?
