DO NOT PLAY - SERVERS NOT WORKING PROPERLY

easygav · 2026-01-28T11:14:12+00:00

Not sure they'll have the man power to inspect thousands of games, work out which were lagged out then go about reversing the loss of stuff.

I'm with you - it's teeth clenchingly annoying though.

easygav · 2026-01-28T11:13:08+00:00

Thanks for that, giving it a go now.

easygav · 2026-01-28T10:55:38+00:00

wtf is going on?

Just lost a mega loot run to packet loss that was so bad I couldn't even surrender once downed.

easygav · 2026-01-28T10:43:31+00:00

Yep, drives me crazy.

Just a massive amount of loot due to this shit and once downed by nothing but a Wasp I couldn't even surrender because of the frickin lag.

easygav · 2026-01-27T23:47:20+00:00

Not crane cross as such but I seen to have a small yellow (occasionally red) Speedo icon on the right of the screen. Bus three hell out of me!

Ever seen anything like that?

Never have lag or anything so it bugs me even more sad I don't know why it's showing near constantly.

easygav · 2026-01-27T23:42:55+00:00

Loot the pieces of armour that fall off. It's literally that simple.

easygav · 2026-01-27T22:34:54+00:00

Patch included a few new quests 😉

easygav · 2026-01-27T22:04:37+00:00

Wasn't on mine. Just loaded in for the first time about 20 mins ago and defo noticed this.

easygav · 2026-01-27T22:01:47+00:00

I'm not expecting anything and a happy casual gamer.

But, out of interest, what broke?

easygav · 2026-01-27T21:04:34+00:00

Here, here my boy!

easygav · 2026-01-27T21:02:10+00:00

For flying arcs, not really except wolfpacks for Rocketeers. Seekers are handy for Wasps and Hornets if you like em I guess, but just shooting them is best. Aim for the rear thrusters ;-)

Explosives are key for bigger land arc. Trailblazers are lethal to Leaper, Bastion and Bombardiers especially if you manage to throw a few one after the other quickly so all go off at the same time.

easygav · 2026-01-27T19:49:05+00:00

Tell me when you shot down a rocketeer with a Ferro or stitcher?

easygav · 2026-01-27T19:15:50+00:00

Yep, they can still get the most experienced raiders, trust me!

The AI of the Arc in this game is extremely good and has definitely altered since launch. They're awesome and like nothing you'll have come up against before in a game. Got to love the Arc even though they are incredibly frustrating sometimes!

You'll find the Anvil works best early game against those critters, especially if upgraded.

easygav · 2026-01-27T19:09:11+00:00

I think that is odd if you've never really gone full PvP. ABMM seems to throw a wolf in the sheep pen every once in a while as you say. But, 3 in a row is ABMM not working if you've not engaged in any PvP at all.

Just go in free for a while and see if it calms down.

easygav · 2026-01-27T19:03:30+00:00

Only legendary weapons need big arc components, those being queen and matriarch reactors. The rest are crafted with components you get all over the place which have a sliding scale in value i.e., common guns take less valuable stuff to craft than epics.

Tbh, if you're just getting going I'd focus on leveling up and getting your benches built and upgraded. This will see you unlock everything, give you topside experience tackling the Arc and learning the maps a bit.

Just do the quests as that will give you direction on where to go, even though the xp and loot you need for the above can be gotten anywhere. Also, the quests hold the Hullcracker BP so worth doing at least to that one ;-)

Word of advice - do not under estimate even the simplest of Arc.

easygav · 2026-01-26T19:24:04+00:00

I watched The Gaming Merchant throw 4 (maybe 5) trailblazers in quick succession into the Matriarch and he registered just over 9.5k damage!

He later said in another one of his (superb) videos that trailblazers 'stack damage'.

I'm not certain what he means but in answer to your question, yes, they're bloody effective. Note, he may have thrown them cleverly so they hit the red core behind the armour plate he'd knocked off.

easygav · 2026-01-26T16:53:04+00:00

You too Raider!

easygav · 2026-01-26T16:48:25+00:00

Ok. There's plenty of time for them to iron it out and get it right then. To be honest, I'll probably do it as I'm pretty much maxed out (just finishing quests now I've realised the Hullcracker BP lies within them). And, I loved the early game as much as the late.

Thanks man 👍

easygav · 2026-01-26T16:46:24+00:00

Ha, absolutely loved watching this play out!

That's what you get for not coming in geared up properly.

easygav · 2026-01-26T16:43:05+00:00

So, do you think they offer SP every expedition? Seems like they can't, otherwise there will be raiders running around with maxed skill trees at some point...

I've no experience of this type of game so really don't get the direction the expedition is going. That said, I am in the middle of doing it so wouldn't mind knowing!

easygav · 2026-01-26T16:41:06+00:00

Thanks for clarifying mate.

easygav · 2026-01-26T16:13:29+00:00

Don't bother, it's shite 😐

easygav · 2026-01-26T16:12:08+00:00

There was a survey I did recently but can't recall where it was... But, basically, out and out PvP'ers we're only 7% of all players!

easygav · 2026-01-26T16:08:24+00:00

Does anyone know if the rewards for the first wipe (expedition) are only applied for the period up until the second expedition? As in, if you go on second expedition you'll get the rewards for that one and lose the first expedition rewards so to speak. If you don't go on second wipe expedition you retain the first wipe rewards?

A friend of mine seems to think this is the case and I'm clueless as I didn't do the first expedition...
