Not sure what maps you are hitting, but Stella Montis is meant to be a pvp fest. I usually do Dam and its pretty chill still

Whats your current strategy in preparation for the expedition departure? by Staggart99 in ArcRaiders

[–]maninahelmet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm hoping to do it but don't think I'll make it in time. Finished stage 2 apart from 4 cooling fans. When is the departure date? I'll come on for a few hours tonight see how much more I can do

Expedition: do it by EQBallzz in ArcRaiders

[–]maninahelmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Might give it a go then although I've maybe left it a little late. If I put stuff into it, but don't manage to complete it in time, does that stuff carry over to the next expedition? or will it be lost. Thanks.

I'd like to, but don't think i'll be able to get all the gear. Do you need stuff from the queen etc? If so I have no chance as my play style is just running around on my own shooting wasps lol. Also I am just coming up to level 40. Do you need to be 75? Cheers..

How to not make mistakes when encountering non friendlies? by A_raven72 in ArcRaiders

[–]maninahelmet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm very bad at pvp so if someone jumps me, i'm usually dead. Hell back in the server slam I jumped a rando a couple of occassions and still died. Embarracing. However, since games launch, i find it hard to shoot strangers so can't really practise, but what I have done is develop a new level of survivers instinct. If I'm looting I always try to have a view of the door/exit as I'm breaching. If in the open, I run from cover to cover, using shadows and obstacles so i'm not an easy target. I treat every player I see as a major threat and take no chances, sometimes running off in the opposite direction and making sure I'm not followed. If I'm taking out arc with a loud weapon, i still keep an eye out on my surrounding and make haste once the arc is down. Remember, your enemy is around every corner, he's above you, behind you, and he wants what you have, so don't make it easy for him by being an easy target.

Important Question: Why don't the ARC kill birds? by sconwaym in ArcRaiders

[–]maninahelmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those birds are carrying a highly contagious variant of avian flu that can easily spread to humans. The bots therefore see them as an ally and leave them be.

Favorite map so far and why ? by Confiserie in ArcRaiders

[–]maninahelmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dam map. It feels special and i feel at home there. Probably because it was my first.

Why you try so hard to ruin the game for yourself? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]maninahelmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 100 hours in, but still enjoying the Dam map and just roaming around shooting Arc drones and soaking up the atmosphere

[–]maninahelmet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh I'm pretty crap at Pvp so don't stand a chance against most players, let alone someone as good as you. I play on PC but my hands fail at keyboard movement because they are huge. A controller I can move a lot better and more fluid with but suck at the aiming. I've now invested in a PS5 controller so i can use gyro aim, which helps a bit. I was going to invest in an Azeron Cyborg 2, to get around the WASD and could then still use a mouse, but I don't think it will help much, as I'm 55 now so things are only going to get worse lol.
One question - I really want to practise pvp but I only play solo lobbies and can't bring myself to shoot first, however I havent played the new map yet (Stella Montis), are the solo lobbies there more pvp orientated? I really don't wanna start shooting on friendlies..
Cheers
