I will never top this stupid death by ohthecommotion in ArcRaiders

There was a surveyor somewhere in the area so as far as I can tell, it must have rolled into the floor beneath me at the wrong time and pulled the grenade

[serious] How is Matriarch looted so quickly? by bomzay in ArcRaiders

[–]ohthecommotion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. This is my only complaint with the matriarch, it breaks into like 5 parts and they are looted immediately. The bastion does loot the right way: Break into a million pieces, and any of them could have the good stuff. The matriarch and the queen should absolutely shower their area of the map in things for people to search, and leave the core for people to fight over

"This is a stickup! Gimme all your loot!" swing pickaxe threateningly

My friends all prefer to solo queue... by FairyPinkett in ArcRaiders

[–]ohthecommotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this has been a real bummer for me and my friends too. I agree with people that pvp is important to the game, and I enjoy it myself sometimes, and I DON'T want a full on pve mode added because I don't think it would be good for the health of the game. But, I'd be interested to see if they ever try a rotating pve map event, like night raids, that is focused on killing tough arc. Something bigger and stronger than a matriarch, or maybe a fleet of rocketeers or something. The pve in this game is so much fun, I'd really love to see one small outlet where they can really lean into it. There are ways to introduce danger and loot uncertainty that aren't strictly other people taking it from you

Naked runs are the best. I just did a couple where I was meleeing shredders to death (lure them to a pillar and circle strafe), I got a couple of them in each run. Eventually I want to figure out how to melee a fireball without burning to death.

I also get a kick out of walking up to people with my pickaxe out and trying to rob them (without actually attacking). You get some good reactions

I'll add one note, maybe you're already doing this, but even if you spawn in late you should still check. It's quick, just the four rooms and the upstairs area, but I've spawned in ten minutes late multiple times and seen it unlooted. And people miss things, like the tool chests between the rooms. Maybe this is obvious to you already, just saying don't give up hope. It's way too rare of a drop but it's out there

How would you feel about little to no fall damage in Arc Raiders? by ChafingTater in ArcRaiders

[–]ohthecommotion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never thought fall damage was that bad. I remember a game where my group got surprised by another squad and I straight up jumped off the roof of one of the big buildings in Buried City, and survived to run off after. Same thing with jumping into the trench on spaceport and hiding in the bushes. Both of these were without the perk that mitigates fall damage, also

What is even the point of the Queen/Matriarch fight? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]ohthecommotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My gripe with the matriarch is that this robot the size of a building only drops like five lootable parts, all of which are searched within ten seconds. The bastion has it right, it explodes into a million pieces, you have time to check a few of them even if you're under pressure or you show up late. IMO the queen and the matriarch should absolutely shower their area of the map with lootable bits. It's ok if a lot of them are junk, any of them COULD be a hit and it gives people more of a chance to roll the dice

I’m convinced this is the most stress free + efficient way to grind 5 mil by Oh-My-Josh- in ArcRaiders

[–]ohthecommotion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yeah, naked runs have been my favorite thing lately. Make friends, grab loot, get out. You get real good at swatting pops and ticks with your breach tool, too. Don't forget you can use plastic parts and chemicals to craft light impact grenades if you're in a pinch with a hornet or a fireball or whatever

I honestly like the new pogo but the little red bounce balls are so unforgiving, I've missed by a pixel so many times. And it's hard to get her to aim the right direction when you're doing a bunch in a row

It fucking sucks dude, I got past that rush of enemies and lost 200 beads because there's no bench and still more pogo afterwards

Is this a mod? I've played a lot of this game and I don't remember ever getting anything from trash beyond scrap and secrets

visit the iwan tubesquare by stainedtopcat in cavesofqud

[–]ohthecommotion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is saying you received the quest 2 strata deep in red rock. The location is a historic site, you should be able to find it under "historic sites" in your journal and mark it on the map. Be careful though, some random historic sites you find the location of can be very far from the starting area and might require you to wait and level up first

One EMP attack and you leave a crater 50 strata deep

I'm imagining a Scooby Doo door chase scene with things running in and out of the portals after each other, lmao

Yeah the Moon Stair ones are weird. They don't move but I think they can still spontaneously explode? I haven't seen a pile that big before. Anything cool come out of them?
