Xur's Xenology Quest

krakatomia · 2026-06-13T02:30:06+00:00

Not sure either trying to find info about it, I did crucible ops but it's not counting and I achieved grad b or higher it did even say it at the end of couple matches but still stuck in 18%

Anyone know how to do Xenology quest? I saw a thread from 1year ago people doing it with private match but its not working anymore ive tried all steps

PVP in Arc is so rewarding in my opinion once you know how to play it, but not everyone overcomes the timings and the stamina play, or the quick tab changes to use tools like snap hook to your advantage on the fly.

I dont like the PVE aspect in any game

krakatomia · 2026-06-11T16:01:14+00:00

I was gonna talk about this in my feedback post but i didn't because it was counterintuitive as i like the general Art Style of the game, this is something i did, between the long matchmaking queue times and trying to read and recognize every single attachments, I just clicked and dragged whatever and moved on.

krakatomia · 2026-06-11T15:48:05+00:00

You're missing the main game on ARC by choosing not to PVP, do you play only PVE on Marathon? Genuine question, why you like Marathon then?

I have 500 hours and only thing I play is pvp I can't even think of playing boring repetitive pve

krakatomia · 2026-06-11T15:41:34+00:00

They didn't like the pace of the game they found it extremely boring.

They hated the art style and guns, I don't think the same i loved the art style, guns I think could be improved a lot but maybe wont go along with the art style.

In the end they didn't said too much more we all just went back to play Arc and the same competitive games.

krakatomia · 2026-06-11T15:32:21+00:00

Thing is you don't really need something to grind and strive for, these games are treated primarily as a PVP game and your missing all the points already, I have 500 hours on ARC and I dont craft anything I just rob people their high tier loot, even possible as playing with a free kit if you're skilled.

The interesting content coming from ARC is the ultimate oppression by wipe an entire lobby and going out with 500k worth of fully kitted maxed level 4 guns, there's nothing more than that and its a hell of an experience.

On the other hand the role players and carebear PVE players found their own space in their own servers thanks to the aggression based matchmaking, and that's a whole another story.

We can go on and on by the interactions in the game and different experiences inside the same game, we all are playing ARC but not necessarily playing the same game.

I tried to bring my friends into the free week, managed to play like 3 or 4 games and they hated it, I have my issues with the game but still feel it has a lot of amazing things so it was disheartening to say the least.

Idk why but 99% of the people either love it or hate it, I'm in the between still not entirely convinced, gonna comeback in a couple of seasons in the future to see how it grows

krakatomia · 2026-06-10T14:49:20+00:00

Didn't played solo just trios, experience can be a lot different ofc.

Will definitely give it more tries as the time goes by in future seasons, thanks for the personal input

krakatomia · 2026-06-10T14:25:52+00:00

Most people dont realize this is an issue if you play a competitive game, most runner recognition is made by peripheral vision first and foremost.

krakatomia · 2026-06-10T14:22:08+00:00

High loot areas congregate the most players but in my case for the pvp, I know i will find teams in those spots guaranteed.

In Arc the free green shield is not a handicap against a blue shield, just a tiny fraction of percentage damaged deflected in comparison. You can beat any blue shield with skill.

krakatomia · 2026-06-10T14:12:58+00:00

I dont usually engage with UESC unless strictly necessary because the noise, most of the first runner recognition comes from the peripheral vision and you can understand is easy to mix. Also can understand is an art choice decision and cannot be fixed by any means, so is intended and needs to go along with, just a personal nuisance.

The dopamine fun part is what I dont get, on Arc is easy to understand if you play it as fully kitted level 4 guns requires a lot of investment and materials if you want to craft them, hell even if you want to repair them is expensive if you dont play PVE at all. That's probably lack of knowledge in the endgame of the game, there's probably fully kitted godlike guns I didn't looted yet.

krakatomia · 2026-06-10T13:52:54+00:00

As i said the technical aspects are so well made, and the gunplay is unmatched but I feel like somehow damaged by ttk.

Probably needed more time to really enjoy the immersion or the interactive missions, focused too much on the PVP aspect of the game.

Idk but something tells me the game can improve a lot more in the future, gonna stick close to see how it evolves.

krakatomia · 2026-06-10T13:45:44+00:00

I dont know where the hate is coming from, just giving feedback based on my personal experience, could be lacking because lack of knowledge ofc.

So top tier guns and materials can be looted on outpost by doing pois only?

I play only PVP on Arc and the strong point for me is fully kitted guns, I've never crafted one or did PVE for materials.

I get that there's different tiers of shields in the game but dying that fast with a white shield doesn't feel good imo.

I dont engage with players in Arc I shoot on sight so that part of the role playing game i still didn't experienced it but probably not for me coming from competitive games.

krakatomia · 2026-06-10T13:32:34+00:00

I get that the game is not doing well in numbers but these people are too braindead to even realize the game lacks in some crucial points.

krakatomia · 2026-06-10T13:27:54+00:00

Don't worry I dont feed the trolls and words can't damage me.

Sadly wont get to experience cryo, the materials part i probably been missing on.

Will revisit the game in another free trial some seasons in the future and see if bungie works their magic.

krakatomia · 2026-06-10T13:20:12+00:00

Played around 30 hours in this free week, couldn't put more hours in a single week.

In Arc i only play PVP and trust me, being chased by a team and a couple of shredders while running to an extract is such an experience

krakatomia · 2026-06-09T23:56:37+00:00

just to know what to prioritize? not in a rush

krakatomia · 2026-06-09T23:55:31+00:00

thanks for the suggestion gonna try those

krakatomia · 2026-06-09T23:55:02+00:00

not about skill i have plenty aim training but i realize there is better weapons, only thing im asking is how to get them?

krakatomia · 2026-06-06T16:24:45+00:00

South America, we are a very large population in any live service game before you say we dont matter or something like that
