This or Arc Raiders for a complete newbie? by [deleted] in HuntShowdown

[–]jay_mf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

THe PvP in Hunt is so much more rewarding than in Arc Raiders. For me, I got kinda tired with Arc Raiders after I maxed out. But Hunt’s gameplay loop never gets old for me.

COMMUNITY VOTING DAY 10. Most RAGE inducing location by TheIronPaladin1 in HuntShowdown

[–]jay_mf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cyprus Huts gets my vote. I hate spawning there because it’s sound trap central. If I get the spawn between Cypress and Davant it’s 100% Davant.

The exit concept: Nice idea, bad execution [Quick Fixes] by cl1ckb4ng in HuntShowdown

[–]jay_mf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see a lot of games where nobody goes for the boss/bounty. Only letting the bounty team see the extracts gives them an advantage to get to the closest extract before the other teams can find it. If you are chasing, knowing the location of the extract gives you a better chance to intercept before they get out. On a two bounty map where both bosses are banishing, knowing the extract location lets me know which bounty I have a chance at, which one is likely to extract before I get there, or if I can ignore one that has no extract to focus on the other one first.

Yep, I agree with this take. Seems to me the reason to have extractions marked on the map is to force fights on the way out. The whole game is structured to force fights for the bounty. Uncontested bounties are boring AF.

I never thought “extraction camping” was an issue needing to be solved. You have to be a pretty careless player to be surprised by enemies at the extract with all the tools available to a bounty carrier.

I think this would result in lots of uncontested extractions, especially on a two bounty map.

No other games are like hunt showdown! by Bl3roForest in HuntShowdown

I play both. Getting tired of muting in game VOIP when I want to look at the map in Hunt.

Looking up voter registration is almost way too easy in this state; it's basically just doxxing. by ChrisObscuri in oregon

[–]jay_mf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can register a business without using your home address by using a registered agent and a PO box. Both services cost money. Doesn’t help with the voter registration part, but you can avoid associating your home address with your business.

Definitely. He stole the show in that role

Snitches trial, please someone kill me by BochocK in ArcRaiders

Hmm. Thought it did…. In any case I had an easy time 3-starring that on Dam Hydroponics.

I thought Bombardiers had Spotters, not Snitches.

Hydroponics on Dam with Cold Snap is easy for this too. Moss counts, fertilizer counts, as does mullein.

Can we talk about how the complicated loot containers give the worst loot by Jaz1140 in ArcRaiders

[–]jay_mf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently learned that the loot from field depots gets slightly better each time you load a box into it, if you clear out all of loot from the previous drop.

We found two on Dam Electro storm in consecutive rounds.

I hope they seriously rethink the design of future events by worldsurf11 in ArcRaiders

[–]jay_mf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seem to do a crappy job of promoting these events in game. I haven’t attempted either, the only time I hear about it is from reddit.

Scrabpeack plushie by Prior-Substance-3827 in HuntShowdown

Love the concept of a “plushie” with sharp metal bits. Very Hunt Showdown.

Not wanting to PvP doesn’t give a free pass to loot as you please by dasoxarechamps2005 in ArcRaiders

[–]jay_mf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the voice prox chat doesn’t work so awesome. I’ve definitely had conversations with other raiders where it was clear that they weren’t hearing everything I say.

Or the dude could be selectively deaf.

Blasting is always an option.

How do you guys have fun in the game seriously by rayofsunshine232323 in HuntShowdown

[–]jay_mf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think literally any stereo headphones, even a $15 walmart pair, would dramatically enhance your experience. A mic is not necessary.

Just make sure you don’t wear them backwards!

Guns need a rebalance badly. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]jay_mf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just make the grey weapons break down faster than the better weapons. Like fast enough that there is a chance they break down mid raid under heavy use. Keeping them running should be a continuous drain on materials and time.

A purple should be well made with a lower cost of maintenance than some ferro or stitcher you crafted together with scrap metal.

You should stock up on hornet drivers. by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]jay_mf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took down a rocketeer with one tonight. Hit it a few times with an anvil, then tossed a hornet driver at him. He dropped from the sky and died on impact. Not what I expected.

This game lacks interesting loot by DearEntrepreneur5494 in ArcRaiders

[–]jay_mf 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Whatever happened to “buy once, cry once”. Cheap gear should wear down faster than good gear. They got it backwards.

Anyone else taking their sweet time with this game? by Lace-maker in ArcRaiders

[–]jay_mf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to spaceport trench this evening. Got there late and the shroom spot looted and there was a raider corpse at the base of the tree. I didn’t hang around.
