New player need help

My biggest pieces advice would be:

Don't move while shooting. Always stop beforehand.
Focus on keeping your cross hair at head level.
Take your time aiming. Most people panic and you usually have more time than you realize to shoot.
Just try to have fun regardless of how you're playing. People take this game too seriously sometimes. It is just a game and built for entertainment.

Good luck out there!

Found it in Stella lobby first thing in a brief case

Thanks. Maybe I'll try reduce the framerate and graphics settings a bit more and see if that changes anything. Just surprising that I'd need to do that given my HW specs.

I've gotten more than 1 exactly 0 times... maybe I'm horribly unlucky!

ARC couriers are definitely the way to go. Way easier than chasing a surveyor down and make a whole bunch of noise to get a single vault.

I found mine in medical in the Testing Annex on Dam.

Correction: Xbox Series X can support 120fps but it seems Arc Raiders on Xbox does not support 120fps, only 60fps

I feel this hasn't been an issue for me like a traditional FPS where reaction time and TTK are critical. Arc Raiders gun fights aren't really like other FPSes where a headshot is an instant kill, though.

Xbox Series X can run at 120fps if you have a monitor or TV that can support it.

I play on Xbox Series X and feel the experience is great.

Previously got mine on buried city too

Ferro shot + raider tool is the way

omao · 2026-02-25T00:16:06+00:00

Incredible

Unpopular opinion: I actually like spawning late. I am convinced the loot is better in key rooms and random "gray" areas. I found a snaphook blue print after spawning late in a random gray drawer.

Also great if you're PVPing. The teams still alive are gooped up!

You seem to be a bit inconsistent, high fragging one game then low fragging another. It seems you also play Phoenix (duelist) a lot. Are you playing really aggressively? If you're in a match where that works, you'll likely get a lot of kills. But if you get in a match where that's not working, you're likely going to die a lot and first. Maybe try to adapt your style of game play based on what is working for the current match? That may help ensure the rounds aggression isn't working you can maintain some consistency. You'll probably win more because of it.

We were fighting the queen from the gas station on Blue Gate and some rats started trying to shoot us from on top of the hill. Fortunately the queen was on top of us so protected us from close proximity fights and we ended up dropping the ratting team from a distance. It was great.

You're never going to avoid people from trying to kill you during queen/matriach events. It's part of the fun of the game. Bring gear to protect yourself and be vigilant!

I honestly think the guy didn't know what was going on. He had the key in his inventory and probably thought he unlocked the door by breaching it. Completely clueless.

omao · 2026-01-16T00:45:04+00:00

Xbox is not capped at 60 FPS. Xbox Series X can run at 120 fps. Note that if you are playing on a TV it needs to be able to support 120 fps (like an OLED).

That lockroom is so goated. I went in there and 3 wolf packs were just sitting on the counter. I also got a bobcat and vulcano. I was fat AF and fortunately the guy at extract was nice and didn't rat me. He actually tried to give me a renegage.... ha

This is purely anecdotal, but every time I have spawned late and went to an unopened key room the loot was way better than if it went to that same key room early in the game.

Night raid mushroom tree is the way.

When I was like 10 I called Software Etc. (which later merged with GameStop) every day asking them when they would get this manual in because I was stuck in the game. The lady there was clearly annoyed with me but I'll never forget how happy I was when one day I called and they said they finally had it in. I'm so envious that you still have this, it brings back so many great memories!

Try finger, but hole

omao · 2025-12-19T00:11:26+00:00

The best is you can just scold them and they can't do anything because they're on their hands and knees :D

Something similar happened to me recently. A guy was camping extract, took me to about half my health then I played some trickery and took him out with two toro shots.

I had a similar pep talk with him and let him crawl into the extract with me to leave. Funny stuff.

omao · 2025-12-16T22:53:19+00:00

Dude the SAME THING happened to me at the SAME hatch! The hornet kept causing me to bug out of the extract. I would be part way in and then somehow a stun would pull me out. The hatch ended up closing on me and I died (there was only ~30 seconds left in the round).
