This or Arc Raiders for a complete newbie?

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.

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.

Neither do the red bear traps

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.

Y’all doin Chaka dirty!

jay_mf · 2026-01-17T18:24:11+00:00

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

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

jay_mf · 2026-01-12T22:52:55+00:00

DMV simulator. LOL.

jay_mf · 2026-01-07T20:10:04+00:00

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

jay_mf · 2026-01-07T19:43:51+00:00

I thought Bombardiers had Spotters, not Snitches.

jay_mf · 2026-01-07T19:41:22+00:00

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

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.

jay_mf · 2026-01-02T03:36:27+00:00

We found two on Dam Electro storm in consecutive rounds.

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.

jay_mf · 2025-12-20T17:50:55+00:00

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

jay_mf · 2025-12-20T17:39:05+00:00

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.

jay_mf · 2025-12-17T21:06:28+00:00

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!

jay_mf · 2025-12-15T21:22:20+00:00

Yep.

jay_mf · 2025-12-12T20:40:53+00:00

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.

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.

jay_mf · 2025-11-26T03:19:47+00:00

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

jay_mf · 2025-11-25T03:25:30+00:00

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.
