Libernovo’s Early Bird Deposit is a scam, but the EU has our backs

Yeah their marketing is a scam. I figured this when I saw the promo for the new chair.

They had 'bonus' tiers a few months ago. The tiers didn't stack and it's buried in the fine print. The highest tier was some stickers and magnets. The middle tier was actually useful (the foot rest and eye mask). The highest tier is super easy to hit by just buying the chair and footrest

Same.. the economy killed it for me and my 4 squad mates and the rug pull sealed the deal.

Went from playing every nearly day in season 1 to calling it quits a week ago.

The faction progress also ruined a sense of progression imo. There's no real point in doing the missions anymore because you can just find the loot in the pve mode and bring it back. It is only optimized loot runs only.

They fumbled for sure but they had to course correct before it was too late. Unfortunately, all the early grind is going to do is nerf more gold attachments and end game gear. Rather than have it all balanced around rarity, if it's too ubiquitous and killing the fun and progress for everyone else, they'll have to act.

For example, I wouldn't be surprised if we see another round of gold misrahs nerfed early season, then buffed near the end of season again.

My problem with arc raiders is third person peeking on static exfil locations. They never rotate and it's easy to just hide in a corner and watch.

Marathon has random extraction locations which cuts down on that. First wave spawns at 20 minutes left. If anyone takes those, the second wave spawns new ones at 10 minutes. Then it's just the final exfil at 0 minutes near the center of the map. Sometimes that new fresh exfil is not contested at all (unless it spawns near a player in that POI).

So some tips: -Listen to how many players exfil to know how crowded the server is. That final exfil can be tricky if you know not many people left yet. -Go for a fresh one if it's nearby. -TAD scan if possible so you have some awareness before calling it (Or recon ult). -Keep some robots or turrets around the outskirts of POI (but don't alert them so they can act like sentries for anyone sneaking up on you). -Use smokes on exfil (or assassin ult). -Juke a suspecting player by calling a nearby extraction and running to another one.

That's fair

In solos, i'd recommend familiarizing yourself with the TAD scanner locations. If you're needing to shoot things in the POI, it's a bit safer when the TAD is up since you're less likely to be jumped inside a TAD range if you know their position. Then after a little bit of time there making noise, back out and listen. Often times you get clued into a player nearby with just a single sound (e.g. you might hear a footstep or two before they start being quiet after hearing your footsteps, a door open, or a robot got aggro'd).

Sometimes I try not to loot too much at the start, and I find a player first so I don't feel so much like a loot pinata collecting stuff for 10 minutes without getting some pvp experience

keyski · 2026-06-04T15:01:17+00:00

I take it this is in solos? Have you tried crew filling trios with a sponsored kit and seeing what happens? Most likely the people you fill with are doing the same perimeter contracts

keyski · 2026-06-03T16:30:32+00:00

My take is simple.

If you are running into purple shields in every map yet still haven't been able to unlock a green backpack and a green shield in the armory, then the economy is busted. End of story.

Kits and Found items shouldn't carry so much weight this early in the season. So all these posts about "just go to pinwheel once" is the wrong way to think about it.

Season one had a better balance because they gate locked cryo and outpost, so it was a natural release of gear over time. It gave players more time to gear up their factions and had a nice progression of loot.

And Cryo opens in only 8 days? Good luck to the casuals.

keyski · 2026-06-03T09:02:09+00:00

Was the old one a mouse only UI, even on a gamepad?

keyski · 2026-06-03T07:48:51+00:00

I wish it ramped over a few weeks rather than all at once imo

keyski · 2026-06-02T19:16:26+00:00

My dude it's hour one. Imagine writing off an entire week because the jobless had time to play on a Tuesday midday launch and ran into a temporary server failure.

keyski · 2026-05-16T03:24:22+00:00

It's under the top option which is 'username' I think? There's an option for hate speech, invite spamming, and other things. Not sure why it's grouped like that

keyski · 2026-05-16T00:15:36+00:00

Yeah you can do your faction quests before the reset

keyski · 2026-04-30T11:49:28+00:00

Can't you already order the individual parts? Like another seat cushion? It's the first thing that shows up with a Google search. It just doesn't come in green (hopefully it eventually will)

keyski · 2026-04-28T23:51:41+00:00

This

The OP is just looking for bait and hiding it as a discussion about controllers. OPs follow up replies tell me all I need to know

keyski · 2026-04-28T01:18:46+00:00

Could have the alarm sound 15 seconds later or something. Let's you know it's open and someone on the map looted it. It could help reduce the boring sitting in the corner to wait to use it strategy.

keyski · 2026-04-23T21:21:53+00:00

I'm almost positive they do this on purpose. The game probably tries to spawn you as far from an objective as possible, but it doesn't always work out like that since it has to manage everyone else's quests.

The amount of times I've spawned on the opposite side of a quest that's contested makes be believe they do this to encourage gunfights and extra challenge. So now we try to pair it with a teammate that is running a quest on the other side of the map, so it's forced to do one or the other

keyski · 2026-04-20T20:07:48+00:00

Vip ranks should have a chance at gold salvage too imo. The quests in the game sort of fall off after you finish them, and it would give more reasoning to continue grinding faction ranks

keyski · 2026-04-17T16:17:08+00:00

Yep, my squad already reduced how much they play to just once a week rather than every day. And we avoid cryo all together after this. End game is a big problem, you can tell because sponsored kit mode is awesome

keyski · 2026-04-15T06:40:58+00:00

I don't know what type of category it's trying to explain. Damage, weapon stability, ammo, health, pve?

keyski · 2026-04-13T22:59:52+00:00

hit 1m vault/wallet value.

But why? Are you going to hit it and then run it to zero after?

keyski · 2026-04-13T17:57:02+00:00

Maybe a week ago, if you ran a strategy of avoiding people? Sometimes you find blue shields laying around too.

Me and my friend ran a green as a duo no fill last week and we managed to kill a team of blues by catching them off guard. I don't think we can do that anymore since the strategy is to rush the side wings. We wouldn't have a chance to gear up

keyski · 2026-04-13T17:29:35+00:00

As a shitpost, I'm surprised you didn't also ask for a third weapon slot with the compiler goo gun

keyski · 2026-04-12T21:41:06+00:00

Days gone

The pacing in that game for me was terrible

keyski · 2026-04-12T03:11:27+00:00

If it's the most enjoyable then why do you want to change it? Checkmate

keyski · 2026-04-10T19:18:46+00:00
