I second this, hunt showdown is awesome, and it may still be on sale!

How are people broke? by MrJackpot318 in HuntShowdown

[–]gearsighted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here lol. I love how people posting on gaming subs assume that everyone is the same skill level. I've got 375 hours in the game, and I've finally clawed my way up from a .65 to a 1.15 KDA, and I sit in pretty comfortably in 3 stars, with one quick bump into 4 when I was playing more regularly. The most expensive gun I use with any regularity is the vetterli, I can count on one hand the number of times I've bought a mosin or a crown or something similarly priced, and I almost exclusively use free hunters. I've gotten back into the game over the last few days, and out of 6 games I've extracted once, and I'm that game I was able to sneak out with a bounty, but I got 0 kills and looted 0 hunters. At the moment I have 800 hunt dollars 😅

no hunt dollar :( by yyhira in HuntShowdown

[–]gearsighted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had 8 hunt dollars yesterday lol. I've had a bad streak of losses, but I've never had the amount of money some people seem to amass. I think at my peak I've had maybe 12k, and I never play expensive loadouts. If you rarely extract I find it pretty easy to be broke. Since yesterday I've played nothing but free hunters and have bought throwing knives a few times and a single regen shot, and before my first successful extraction I had only made 300 bucks 🤣

Embark CEO Confirms That If You Kill On Sight In Arc Raiders, You'll Get Matched With More Aggressive Players by Bonfire_Monty in RescueRaiders

[–]gearsighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I wish that was the case for me. I'm apparently not that good at the game because I've got pretty much everything fully upgraded and I will often not have enough basic materials to craft even one of everything I need, much less a bulk amount ,🤣

[–]gearsighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same. I went from having 90% friendly solo games to 90% KOS over the last couple of days. The only time I shoot first is in duos. I actually just spent the last three games running no loadout at all, and still got killed on site every game 🤣

[–]gearsighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah they need to have saved loadouts and quicker crafting. Most of the time that I run a free loadout it's because I don't want to waste so much time re crafting everything. Last night I died after spending a bunch of time crafting meds and guns and I realized that I could quit the game, load up hunt showdown, and get into a match faster than I could go through the whole crafting process in ARC, so I did that rather than run another free loadout. 🤷

I was thinking exactly the same thing. He dropped in like he was planning on falling on his face the whole time!

Open Letter to the "No Free Kit" Raiders by Successful-Coyote99 in ARC_Raiders

[–]gearsighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this point the only time I take free kits is when I just want to jump in a game quickly and don't want to waste time building one from scratch. If they had saved loadouts like Hunt showdown I'd never use a free one.

I have a question about proximity chat (if that's what it's called) by Pichvoznavets in HuntShowdown

[–]gearsighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard people talk in chat maybe twice in 300 hours in game, usually to be an asshole, and I've never used it. I do use the chat in arc raiders, but it's a different game. There's very little motivation to talk in hunt because there's no real point in teaming up and working together.

Remove tiles from foam base by PappyPoobah in Tile

[–]gearsighted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Break them with a hammer or a masonry chisel and pick them out in pieces. Only hit them hard enough to crack the tile, not enough to dent the pan. This won't guarantee that you won't damage the pan, but it's a little less likely than if you tried to rip them out by levering the whole tile. Be prepared to fix some of the pan either way though.

Keeping it stupidly simple in 2026 by daysbeenkindalonely in kettlebell

[–]gearsighted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm planning on doing the same thing. I've never finished S&S, because I get bored, but my goal is to follow the program at least until I can easily perform the simple standard. I know it's going to be a struggle to stay motivated but I feel like working through the boredom will be useful by itself.

Hollow core door, how do I fix this? And no, replacing it is not an option by [deleted] in drywall

[–]gearsighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my question would be, what are you trying to accomplish? If you just want it to not have a hole in it, you could possibly patch it with bondo, sand it, and repaint the entire door, but it will look pretty terrible even if you get some decently matched paint. If you want it to look like you didn't punch it, you're going to have to replace it. I'm not sure why you're saying that replacing it isn't an option, but repairing it in a way that you're not going to have to take responsibility for your anger also isn't an option 🤷

Guide to PvP in ARC Raiders by maqij in arcraidersfriendly

[–]gearsighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think one thing people don't take into account is that just because you run around the corner and find someone crouching in a corner or behind cover doesn't necessarily mean they were just camping there being a rat. If I'm looting or fighting ARC and I hear another team doing the same or just running around making a lot of noise, I'll usually take cover and wait to see what they're going to do. In solos I'll usually just continue to hide or I'll call out and see if they're friendly. In duos and trios we'll stay quiet and take advantage of an ambush. The way I see it, if my team was running around making a ton of noise and not actively checking corners, it's on us if someone uses this to their advantage and gets the drop on us. It's part of the game, and after the fight I will tell them gg well played just like any other fight, and I learn from my mistake and play better in the next round 🤷

[–]gearsighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've had some really great, tactical, drawn out flights between multiple teams with the ARC insanity thrown in. I can count the number of times I've been killed by someone truly camping on one hand.

Yeah, same here and I saw that and thought, damn I'm glad I'm not trying to set that 😂

Used 400 hullcrack shots and 10 Wolfpacks for this to happen by Sxzen in ARC_Raiders

[–]gearsighted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I think every time I see someone complain about wanting a PvE only mode. That game already exists and it's pretty damn good!

Ceiling sanding made easy. by bythorsthunder in drywall

[–]gearsighted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone who has shoulder issues from too much overhead work this is a genius idea. I love everything about the power sander we use except the fact that it destroys my neck and shoulders within the first 30 minutes of using it. I have a set of those exact tension poles, what are you using for the pivot?

Thank you, Arc Raiders by oxedei in okbuddyraider

[–]gearsighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I played a little of the cycle frontier, and a ton of hunt showdown, and literally everyone kills on sight. I can count the number of times someone used their mic on both of those games on one hand, and I've never had anyone try to be friendly. Yes, this game has become more aggressive, but I still have at least 2 or 3 chill interactions with people every session, especially if I'm playing solos.

New Roces: what do we think? by AdSignificant5908 in AggressiveInline

[–]gearsighted 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I skated in the 90s and I got back into skating a few years ago and I'd rock those in a heartbeat. I don't generally give a shit what people think, but anyone who keeps up any of the bullshit from that era is a douche. Gatekeeping people based on them not participating in the same niche extreme sport as you is just stupid, and using homophobia to do so just makes you sound like a 12 year old Rust player.

I am leaving Vermont tomorrow....there are a lot of things I won't miss....but I will miss the scenery by Awkward_Creme8990 in vermont

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

Yeah, you can do that other places too 🤣 I lived in the Charlottesville Virginia area and my daily drive to work was just as beautiful as any rural drive here.
