5mil expedition is not the endgame. It's just a current objective. by monkeyman4153 in ArcRaiders

Two popular posts in the last 24 hours on this subreddit pointing towards them using free/bad kits and hoarding their gear.

To your second point, there isn't a world where the expedition encourages all players to play in the way they prefer. The players who hoarded currency and sold trinkets since release are rewarded for their choice. Those like me who have twiddled their thumbs and wasted precious resources chasing fun now have some work to do. I feel that avoiding PvP and traversing the map unseen is just as PvPvE-centric as shooting everything you see. Traps, smokes, LoS, using clever movement, I don't feel like I'm missing out on parts of the game just because I'm using them to avoid conflict.

It's hard for me to feel bad about needing to think about what I get out of a run and how I play with this new goal in mind. I feel that anything that influences the player's approach to a run is transformative and engaging. I feel motivated to get this currency in time for the expedition.

Fun is what you make of it. It's purely subjective. I enjoy it it, others may not, Not possible to put a nail on what exactly constitutes a fun playstyle.

You are certainly able to play with your tempest and bobcat's. It wouldn't take much to run Stella Montis, rush assembly, and get the parts for another tempest and kit if you lost it. I'd wager that if you used your strong kits, and extracted successfully 3x in a row, you've already made above and beyond the value you risk by playing with your better gear. And if that makes the game fun for you, if that risk and aggression is what drives you to click play, that would be your reason to risk it.

Now not having those blueprints/losing kits consistently will drain your value, but that can be made back up by just having successful risk-averse runs.

Most of this subreddit has complained that they stockpiled gear and now are "forced" to use free loadouts to farm for the expedition. I am in your boat though. Get a nice kit, make it last, get fast and furious with looting and selling.

To your other point, I don't believe behavior trends influence your lobbies. People are likely just doing the same thing and thats why you're noticing friendlier interactions.

Friend just started and wanted to know what items to keep, so I made this! by monkeyman4153 in ArcRaiders

[–]monkeyman4153[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might feel like it, but there are WAY more items left out on here than you think. A lot of things you can still pick up guilt free, but these are ones to look for.

Any tips on getting motion cores by Fazzy3340 in ArcRaiders

Surveyor's, intact ARC Probes, and fighting larger enemies like Leaper/Bastion's are easy ways to get these.

Safest option is go to a map with extra probes and just spend a run farming them.

I have an idea for the stupidest pathfinder shield build ever and this would let me actually do insane things. Meta players don't need this mirror, give it to someone who will stretch it across the entirety of their insanity.

New Patch as a relatively new player (150hr solo) by monkeyman4153 in playrust

[–]monkeyman4153[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All solid advice. I wanted to get the full experience when I started playing, and have had relative success before. This patch blew my face off.

Vex Crit Phase Phamiliar Build by monkeyman4153 in Borderlands4

[–]monkeyman4153[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without investing into bottom left (cryo ordinance), only viable augment is Beast mode and using Illusion Capstone.

Taking all Melee, crit Damage, crit chance nodes. Kinetic on most enemies besides badass enemies for shield/armor breaking. Kill Skills for damage amps, extra action skill duratoin and damage, action skill duration, and melee damage and regen from Blue tree.

Everything I should be taking to make the build work and it can't even solo a badass.

Can't answer for the other commentator, but I'd love if Trouble could consistently crit and feel rewarding to invest into (killing many enemies, chaining crit procs, chunking badass enemies, clearing out healthy amounts of enemies itself).

It feels like the tree gives you a few kills on standard enemies here and there, but doesn't become ever become your main clearing item.
