Launch Edition>What is Arc Raiders?Arc Raiders is a PvPvE extraction adventure where you or up to 2 other friends can brave the topside landscapes of a post-apocalypse Italy littered with hostile robots and other hostile or friendly players in an attempt to scavenge and make it out alivehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpeJjQDXNAE
i've never created a general, sorry if the format is wrong or it's lacking resourcesreally excited to play this though, it reminds me of the last of us multiplayer mixed with the divisionanyone starting their raider with a free loadout to feel it out or are you maxing out your first kit with everything you got?
>>544623234Im trying all the new maps on free kitsOne hour left
>>544627761for sure man, was thinking about just jumping straight into blue gate to see how far i can get, that underground highway system looked so cool
I was here
it's out btw

what's this game about
>>544630890tarkov for the employed
WHY AM I IN A QUEUEITS 5AM IN THE US
stuck in queue. the server was not slammed enough previously
>stuck in queuethe SMASHING and SLAMMING didn't prepare them for launch...
>>544630939but what if I'm unemployed
>>544631191then consider it tarkov for normal people
never had a queue at the anti-cheat launcher before ngl
>crashes after queueoff to a great start
45,500 and only 2 mins
It's over. It's so fucking over
>get past launcher queue>gets put into an in game queueaite
It's over.
could be worse all the nogs on the cover does not help either
20% of the base hairstyles are afros.
these character customizations are fucking terrible
can you make a hot waifu char? that's the only reason to play anything 3rd person
>>544633029The Asian chick's alright.
>>544633029i hope you like asians
>>544633287>pictured: 90% of player characters
>>544633339yup. i'm just gonna be a regular ass middle aged black dude for the hell of it
>>544633339>>544633287ah so it's only presets, have fun bois
>>544633534the faces are presets, yeah. there's not many good hair choices though
did the ferro get nerfed, shot someone point blank and did 35 damage
>>544631219what if I'm not normal
is it peam or
>find epic weapon blueprint (Bettina)>smort enough to put it in safe pocket>dieAt least I got it.Also everyone just shoots you in the face on EU. I tried mic'ing to people and they just ignore it.
>>544636330I've spared everyone I've come across near extraction and extracted with them (after downing them ofc, cant take any chances)
>>544636772All the people who killed me were in the "wild", not extractions. The most valuable shit I had on me was Rattlers so not like they scored anything. I only managed to extract safely at the beginning of a raid when I went free loadout and found some epic CPU thing. Figured I'd hoof it before I get killed again since you have no safe pocket in scav mode.
>>544636330>EUniggas just turn off voice, absolute retard region
>>544636330How do I make sure, that the voice is working? I have a feeling it is not for me. Also, LOOKING FOR PLAYERS
12 dead raiders who tried to stop me from looting...I'm going to make it 13 in the buried city...
I've already successfully cooperated with two people in the wild
Yeah, I'm a wittle cool...
Playing with a free kit really sucks...
other than the maps (and bots), this game is super shallow/normie stuff. may still get it because i have normie friends
What should i keep and what should i sell guys?
>>544643621Sell treasure icons...
>>544622774didnt play in the beta but i got this game for free with my gpu if i have no friends to play with will i enjoy this game?
>>544643805Maybe, it biases towards (doesn't guarantee) solos if you go in solo, and you can auto queue for a group of 3. Randoms have been okay to me so far.
Sneed Feeders
it's downhill from here
I have heavy shields now...I'm unstoppable...
>>544644121im yet to see a group after queuing like 15 solo games
>>544645447Solo queue is separate. 2 played with 3 on test.
"People" hide and wait more aggressively than even Tarkov in this game.
*hides aggressively*
*shits aggressively*
Is there any point at all in using the Rattler?
>>544647038Once you put an extended mag on it, its better. If It can even take one, i dont remember.
>>544647038It sucks until level 4 and then it kills anyone with a light shield in one volley.
>encounter enemy squad almost immediately>I do ~70, ~80 and 98 damage to each>none of them die>we all go downhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
>>544648862People have 140 HP minimum...
>>544648986That's not how shields work.Also I'm implying no one else hit a single bullet
>>544647307>>544647565I couldn't really tell the difference between ranks 1 and 3 desu. I'd spray people and they would still hurt me more. I'm now starting to use the Ferro instead but haven't downed anyone.
>>544649191The amount of ammo in a magazine increases for the Rattler. It gets ridiculously good
My stash is always full...
okay okay, i was talking shit about the game... but the solo experience/atmosphere redeems it
>>544650578yea after i saw how bad thats going to be, im just not going to sweat it. i dont think its as hardas tarkov or anything, scrap/sell whatever the fuck and try not to sweat it
>first time on spaceport>both teammates die in first building we get into it>they both enter ground level>climbed all the way to top>watched a firefight between 3 teams>have to wait ~6 minutes to leave>run across map to furthest extract>two teams>one left and second one is opening again>hatch open> smoke>run insidefeels good
>>544651669I don't get this. Does the game make you play as a chick?
I DIED TO PVE
Voice Chat DisabledText Chat DisabledFree Raider KitQueuing for trios
I THOUGHT I FARTED, BUT I SHIT.
>>544652172Why would you want to stare at a mans ass all day? :))
>>544652708Why do you want to troon out so bad? Just work out. It's not that hard bro.
>>544652515>Free Raider Kitwhats this?
>>544652853Click the Free Loadout button before you ready up
>>544652829cant a guy just play a female character without wanting to be a tranny? tired of this shit already
>sniper camping the extraction point How to counter this?
>>544653265Smoke Grenades, Lure Grenades, a shield.
>>544653265>>544653315Also you can use the console while downed and you will get credit for escaping
okay where the fuck is this roof.
>>544653315Ok I guess I need to better equip myself because that was annoying. I dont think I had anything amazing to lose but I did have a few cores
The Kettle is actually a sick weapon. One of the few starter level guns that can actually kill someone consistently in a single mag
>>544654303Don't tell anyone...
>>544654303Prove it.

>find multiple dead bodies in one area, all full of loot>sees a bastion nearby just fucking aroundhmm
Protip: you can headglitch easily in this game. Half the terrain/corners you can shoot and aim through, but can't be shot back. Will it be fixed? Dunno, but its already standard in asia to get headglitched by campers shooting through invincible corners. Bring grenades.
>>544656395>Will it be fixed? DunnoImpossible to fix
I love playing solos. I run into multiple friendly people every match. I was getting raped by wasps and out of stamina, making my way to the open elevator and someone else just showed up and started shooting at the wasps instead of me then he told me to get in.In squads everyone is kill on sight.
HOW DO I DO THE ROCKET THRUSTERS REEEEEEEEEEE
>>544653472i found it
I'm leveling so slowwwww
>>544658267just drop free kit and loot everything even if you think its empty2 containers is the same exp as killing a raider
I've never played an extraction shooter before. Is it normal to feel extreme anxiety the whole time? This shit got me spooked man.
>>544658537You will feel so much adrenaline pumping at times that it feels like a heart attack, even when it's just something as simple as another player running by and not noticing you
>>544658537>Is it normal to feel extreme anxiety the whole time?>This shit got me spooked man.yeah that's kind of the draw of this type of gamesuccessfully sneaking out with some amazing loot or recipe despite the area being a warzone feels great
>drop in dam>shit loot empty rooms maybe 2 containers>drop in blue wall or spaceport>looting green weapons from lockers and advanced components from white looting zonesthere isn't even that much more arc, I've been diving spaceport freekit for the past couple hours and moved onto blue wall and just scooping up ridiculous stuffjust got a torrente recipe also
>>544658537the more valuable and rare your inventory is the more anxiety
>>544658537Yes, the highs are high and the lows are lowThat's kind of the appeal desu
>want to kill arc>keep getting killed by faggotswhen can I start making lure/snitch grenades so I can get arc on these faggots?Also should I crawl into a wide open field so they have to be exposed to loot me or crawl into a bush so they cant loot me at all? which is more spiteful
>>544659025crawl into an open field so they feel anxiety if they want to loot you
>solo>shoot some guy with ferro twice>know he has like 20 hp left and no shield, heard it pop >run in and dive him with stitcher >absorbs full mag and kills me with hammer????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
My Arc Raider is the Hatsune Miku Femlala of Arc Raiders...
we made it
chinks already flyhacking/noclipping, have fun the anticheat doesn't do anything
i have yet to see anyone talk in prox chatit's always shoot first ask questions never people
>>544661805every person I've met so far has talked in proximity chat with me
>waiting at extract while a leaper is patrolling around>see a players shadow creeping around the corner>tell him if he attacks me I will immediately shoot the leaper>he puts his gun away and we get on the elevator togetheradd more of the big bots to camp extracts so I can keep using them as a nuclear option
Are you going to roleplay as a girl, /arg/?https://www.twitch.tv/pokelawls/clip/SmokyFamousGaurDoggo-2mVBra3qKnATnn2w
>>544662873>the game has built in voice changerstime to spend a while memorizing the sound of them and then killing anybody who uses them
>>544661348ah, thanks for the heads up, was considering getting the game
>>544661805literally had two separate teams on two separate runs try to figure out the rocket thruster mission with each other, maybe your average aussie is autistic as fuck
Anyone here from South America wants to play?
I cant stop myself from only using free kits, too much anxiety to use anything else
>>544663941When you lose something because you died without a prison pocket you'll reconsider
>>544661805its very random, i got ganked a couple of times solo with them ignoring prox chat, and i even had a match where 5 of us extracted in the same elevator in solo, even cooperating to take down a rocketeer drone and a few small bois. It was pretty fun.In team play, they almost never use prox chat tho. I suggest playing both modes, its a different feel for both.
>>544661348EU servers?
The arc cores are just for selling or is the recycle components more valuable? I found a rocketeer one
>doing trench tower first time>guys in the opposite tower start sniping at us and attract drones on themselves>we go into our tower start looting>they push us and attract a rocketeer>one of them tries to flank but we barricaded the doors>bitches and moans in prox chat that we barricaded instead of just gun fighting them>loot them all after its all cleaned up>they were all rocking blue guns>me and the boys were running ferrosGenerational fumble, what you get for being kill hungry gayboys
do keys get consumed upon use or do I just have them until the end of wipe providing I keep em in the safe pocket?
>>544664905Quests want them sometimes, and they're used for upgrading workbenches and stuff. Gunsmith II wanted 6 wasp drives.
>>544661348>>544663129thats not how anti-cheats work per-se. Anti-cheats have 2 purposes.1. To police and ban players who abuse known cheats2. To analyze your behavior while playing to collect data that the devs can analyze to discover new cheating methods and to use that data to ban you later onThere was ALWAYS gonna be cheating chinks and shitskins playing on day 1. I expect the devs to wait at least a few days, then do a big purge of cheating accounts, bear in mind, often these subhumans are actually paying for cheats and so there is a lot of work on their part to do this.Its smarter to let us suffer for a bit, then do a big banwave and punish the scum. If they haven't done this within the next week for the first wave of cheaters, THEN, we can start complaining about it. Until then this rhetoric is simply irrational and unfair. 7 days before their potential inactivity becomes a huge problem.
>>544665207Keys are used up onetime only
>>544665207>end of wipewtf you talking about? there better be no wipe.I prefer to use keys when im playing solo btw. Well, extraction keys, i have 1 epic town hall key for a newer map, i havent used it yet.>>544665316storage capacity is a big deal, im already at lvl 3, 116 capacity and i run out easy without selling off and recycling a bunch of shit,
>>544665207There's no wipe retard
>>544665564I've been hard rushing selling shit to afford storage ups
Nobody wants to hear your 12 year old pubescent voices fagsalso, with the voice changer, fags will be using the female one of course, so kill on sight especially those with it.
>>544665635there's a opt-in wipe for rewards that 90% of players will be partaking in, dumbfuck
which skills should I focus on (after getting the in raid crafting first)
>rat dive>sell literally everything I don't care about the fucking workbenches>make 20k a drop easy>just buy a shotgun and anvils>compared to meticulously hoarding and assembling the weapons as intended(?)>can also buy all the consumables also, kits and shieldsRight so....why would anyone waste time picking up garbage and hoarding it when you can just sell it fast and ez?
>>544665868i havent encountered anyone using a VC yet, and especially not heard any women yet either. DESU i'd probably kill a woman on sight, its becoming a funny meme.>>544665971if you keep getting rekt through bad luck you will wish you kept some stuff and upgraded your benches. Pretty sure you're hard capped on the quality of the loot you can purchase too.
okay where is this comms tower near the olive grove ive died 3 fucking times running around this area trying to do this quest
>>544665959that's a prestige system dumbass
Is the server population maximum known?
Not just 3pp corner camping, but 3pp corner camping with headglitching so you can shoot from total safety.Cool game and amazing maps, but absolutely rotten dogshit combat system. Embark is just cursed with every game they make having some critical flaw baked in among all the other really good stuff.
>>544664000well that was fast, I found a dog collar to upgrade scrappy and died at extract with the free kit.
>>544667249Literally anyone who has played video games for more than 5 years could have told you why third person shooters are dogshit and soulless.
>>544667736Just play safe until you're comfortable, it's not expensive to make a cheap kit with 80 medium ammo and some mid tier 1 weapon, and it's also enough to defend yourself
Don't waste your time assembling weapons. Just free drop into the final zone or spaceport and loot them for free then extract.Idk why they made it like thar but Dam is obsolete day 1.
>>544667906It would have been fine if you needed LOS to reveal players and corners weren't headglitch-able.You can't have a shooter where everyone can shoot through corners, it just doesn't work except superficially.
>>544665963is it that big a deal? what would you use it for? inventory management?>>544667736i threw that in my safe spot the second i got one, but frankly its not that big a deal, i havent noticed much of a gear-improvement from scrappy at lvl 2 over 1.I reckon he'll get useful at 3 or higher i suppose.
>>544668137I think a lot of issues with looting stems from the free loadout. There is literally no stakes since you can go into any map and loot with it, and come out much much richer
>>544666776>it's not a wipe it's a voluntary prestige reset mechanicdon't be a semantic faggot
>>544668610okay sorry, I just took a massive shit so I gotta go prestige my ass brb
>>544668137because its safer than the other 2, i found way more high-end Arcs and low end roombas in those maps over the Dam. The Dam is for farming, the other maps are for the big plays.>>544665959where the hell is that option? i havent seen anything about that. And prestiging is fine, i would probably do that after going HAM and losing all my good gear.
>>544669421kek
>>544669421you're still wrong, but regardless, lmao, funny guy anon.
>>544653204No.
>>544665963I'm focusing on stamina first, nothing worse than being unable to do anything while some bastard is shooting you
>>544671426Max out marathon runner firstThen worry about everything else
>>544669903>where the hell is that option?Expedition
here is the solution to free kits being so gooddont let people complete tasks or trials while using a free kit
>>544672778agreed, quests shouldn't be completable without the risk of your own loadoutit's honestly retarded it's not this way already
are free kits that good
>>544673137Yeah they're kind of busted
Anyone know how to get rid of this performance overlay? Doesnt' look like steams, I've got the little fps counter down in the bottom left where I want it
>>5446731370 risk all reward
>>544673171how so
How do you decide when to be friendly with someone?
>>544673264That's nvidia overlay
>>544673579Thanks, I wonder why it activated itself for this game specifically.
sniper turrets shooting through walls is Not Very Fun
Does anyone know what the maximum amount of skill points we can earn per-character will be?
>>544674074max level is 75 but you can start "prestiging " at 20
>>544673137Yeah, the basic guns are good enough and you usually also get some healing and shield recharger. The only downside is having less inventory space and no hidden pocket. I understand why some people hate how it is done, but to be honest, it is one of the reasons I decided to try this game out. I played Tarkov a few times in the past and I hated how losing only led to more losing since you were running out of gear and could only do the scav runs only every hour or so.
>>544674380What do you even get that makes this "prestiging" worth it?
>>544674380Do you earn points all the way up to 75?
>everyone is the asian bitch
>>544674467I'm the white dude with the massive face
>>544674461pretty sure they said you get exclusive cosmetics and you earn xp faster and more stash space
I thought I would hate the train station extracts on the city map, but its actually nice. If another player is on the other side of the tracks it lets you talk first to agree on just getting the train out of there
>>544674467I'm putting a mask over my face as soon as I unlock one
>>544674467she's the only cute one
>>544675010I think the white girls is p cute
>>544675731which one? the bottom one?
>>544675863Face 15 yeah
>>544665352yeah yeah i'm familiar with Tarkovs ban waves, it's never enough, i'd rather castrate myself with a plastic spoon than play a shooter infested with cheaters again, have fun.
>>544675731>>544676090I think thats the one I picked I hope
So wtf is this game about?I see people join a game, run around looting for 10 min and then leave?Like, when do you win?
Free kits are nice, but loot is super abundant on every map. There's really no reason to sweat losing stuff. Shit, just snipe a few wasps or hornets and immediately extract and you'll have enough credits to buy a nice custom kit outright
>>544676127Every single shooter is like this nowadays
>>544676262Prove it
>>544676090>bandaidskawaii
what workshop should I build first?
>>544676187You can change at any time in customization
is this game easier to get into that tarkov. do npcs no scope headshot you from a mile away in .3 seconds?
the dithering on the foliage is honestly terrible to look at in the demo, did they fix that?
>>544679036Its definitely easier to get into. The AI wont one shot you from out of sight, but they are a challenge and will probably rape you if you aggro one of the biggers ones. They give off visual cues when you are spotted though so they wont just leap on you from off screen without warning
>looting a building slowly and quietly>hear someone sprint indo you stay quiet and shoot them if they spot you or do you get on voice and ask if they are friendly?
>follow the trail of destruction through broken earththe fuck does that mean. there's destruction literally everywhere
>>544679337If they instantly spot me I try to get into a position where I can third person peek them and then I talk to themIf I can't get into a safe position before they have the opportunity to shoot me I'll just blast them
>>544667249Lol. /v/ tried to warn you about this for at least a year solid now. TPP with no risk just creates a cowardly and passive playstyle. I think in TLOU Factions it was possible to give yourself limited wallhacks to prevent this very problem. Hunt Showdown does a similar thing to discourage extraction camping and drive players together.
Can I craft noisemakers? Or do I have to buy them? I like to set them up at the entrances of buildings before I loot them
>months upon months of OMFG ARC RAIDERS SO HYPE>constant threads about it /v/ every day>finally releases>the general is already on page 10
>>544682019>day 1we're on /v/ dumbo
You did drop all your items before the Breaching cutscene in the Tutorial so you could keep all those free items...right anon?
Is it strange that all the voice chat people are Hispanic or hood people? This is like cod or something
>>544682019people love games that position themselves as underdogs, especially in this case since it ate Marathon's lunch.
>>544676262While true, you need a FUCK TON of materials to craft anything that matters
>>544630939>>544631191What do you mean by this? I got this game for free with my new 5080 and I have never heard of it. Idk if it's even worth the time to get the free code.
>>544685009As a liberator myself I have encountered a lot of russians on the eu servers
>>544682019do you only hang around places you dislike
>>544685763Tarkov and Arc are "extraction shooters." Tarkov is considered a hardcore PvPvE game, where when you die, other players can take all your shit. If you are careful, you can complete a mission and "extract" to a safe house to store loot, make/repair weapons and gear. In Tarkov, lots of progress can be wiped out with a few runs.Arc Raiders seems to be more forgiving and you lose less shit when you die I guess. It also has a higher emphasis on PvEI came up on hardcore PvPvE games where this was just kind of normal to me. I didn't get too attached to loot. But gamers coming from WoW backgrounds, might have a harder time dealing with this.
>>544685009The devs pushed hard to get streamers to play it. Therefore it's all those kinds of people who watch that slop checking out the game.
will this game make me enjoy extraction shooters or is it the same as tarkov
>>544638283russians need to have a genocide they destroy every online game on EU
>>544687353It's also $40 bucks. SNAP benefits don't cut out for a few more days.
>>544687482It plays differently than Tarkov but if you hate the usual trappings of Extraction Shooters then you probably won't like it.
>>544687482it's exactly like tarkov. in tarkov everyone one is cheating in arc raiders you play in 3rd person so its basically also everyone cheating camping behind the wallif you enjoy pvp this is not a game for you
>>544687482imagine Battlefront II but extraction
any based retards wanna squad up tonight? Fronthole#0883
>>544636330>>544639130There's an emote wheel where you can ask to team up/don't shoot. Things like that.
>>544688235That's a disgusting name you nasty ass trollard
>>544682019There isn't a bare titty or kpop waifu in the entire game, no shit vg doesn't like it. What would they even post about? Gameplay?
>>544687482there's less instant death than tarkov thanks to the TTK. stay near cover and bring smokes
wasn't this supposed to be the next big thing?
>>544688235region?
>>544675731I think you mean body type 1 face 15
>>544691257NA
is this Dad coded and Unc safe?
>>544673435social skills, if they crouch-spam and flash their lights, they definitely want to be friends.
>>544676127Tarkov is much more punishing on the player than this, so i expect that the demand for cheats in that shitshow of a game is sky-high. Also isnt tarkov f2p?
>>544689483yeah, the woke character creator, and cringy dieversity checklist of the npcs you interact with in the game make for very very poor meme material. Who the fuck would simp for the ugly lesbians in the arc?>>544690960it is, im having a blast.>>544691851kys tranny.
the game seems to have peaked at 264k players today. I wonder how well it'll do tomorrow?
>>544622774red pill me on this game. can i do hatchling runs
one of the best utilities for making people damage themselves
>24 damageSo the Ferro sucks now?
Really solid for day 1. Hopefully they have a vigorous balance/release schedule but this is a surprisingly polished game
>>544695451you get infinite free (random) loadouts so yes
I think buried city is my favorite map so far
>>544695625hitting someone with it still makes them panic due to the huge chunk of shield or health lost.
>>544696037So what poorfag weapon do I use now
woke devswoke game
>>544696002sliding down the subway stairs is jolly good fun and feels GREAT when you have a backpack full of shit and living teammates. Truly satisfying.
>sapwn in>walk 5m>get ambushed out of nowheremhh yes, the learning curve
The ferro is still far and away the best of the shitguns. Your basically trolling if you don't bring one.
>>544696262They might do this to anybody that has a famous person's name, though.
>>544696198i love the nailgun thingy personally.>>544696262while you're correct, even non-political games have tranny janny CMs in their official groomercords. My last teammate had NilthyFigga as a username btw, they're not overlllllly concerned with censorship just yet.
>>544695709does the ai instantly lock on to me and chase me down for daring to spawn in with nothing like a horny nigga in the womens locker room?
>>544696429>Spawn in>Walk left or right instead of holding w>Shoot some dipshit in the back of the head as he beelines for a POI
>eacso the cheat situation is out of control, yes?
>Tarkov>the precise shooter wins>every other extraction shooter>it's just a DPS race
So any secret cool shit they were hiding that people have now unlocked or datamined? Has endgame been solved by poopsockers? What's happening end game gear wise did they do gearbased MM or can full EPIC geared characters go fight new players and laugh by shooting a bazooka at them in one shot?
>>544696864Are you lost Ivanovich? Think you're looking for this >>544002336Also>Precise shooter
>>544696616The what now?
>>544696718within range it will prioritize you, chase you then within a few seconds engage.
>>544697218well there used to be a way to sneak into one of the best looting spots in dam by dropping off the top of the building and catching a ledge.. I think they patched that out
>>544696002It was my favorite during the TT2, definitely the funnest for PvP IMO. The subways also feel a lot more balanced as extracts since they're a bit more enclosed. I hope the other maps get unique Extracts.
>>544696002Is that the one with the hospital? Loot is incredible but the place is a fucking bloodbath>>544697218You could just play the game and find out?

Goddamn the women in this game ARE UGLY
>>544696002every time I went there it was lackluster.. I've only been there a handful times though - looks good but barely any action so far
>>544698498face 15
I'm so glad the shop skins in this and BF6 are ugly so I'll never be tempted to buy them.
>>544698685She only got run through the ugly filter 2 or 3 times. Nice.
>>544698498Face 06
>>544698498Is what it isAt least you barely see your own face in game
>>544698498i still want to put my nose in my raiders asshole
>>544696429yes one guy cheated and killed me he said dont shoot on mic and then shot me point blank with shot gun cheating fuck
First match they left me behind bros they closed the gate on me
>first game>be making my way to the high value loot zone>run into some random guy camping in the middle of literally nowhere>we kill each otheroff to a good start
Why does the dumbass drone not focus on the people shooting guns around it and run after me? There are people right fucking in front of you shooting you dumbass drone leave me alone
>arex0024 disconnecting me every 30 secondsgreat game
>keycards are single useNo wonder they're not worth much.
>>544700285bring a recorder, it attracts arcs
tarkov's storage stacking spoiled me, i'm run out of space in my bags immediately
rate my loadout
>>544695614anything that throws up cover in your face makes people short circuit for a second. It works great in The Finals where they got this idea from.
>>5447019610.0/30.0
I don't understand the arc cloaking rodI used it and the rocketeer one shot me how does it work? For baby arcs?
>open locker>2 purple items>open 2. locker>game crashes : )
damn they fixed the depot bug
I have 500 hours killing automatons in Helldivers solo, can I beat this game?
>>544701979also the fact that if its placed in the control tower zipline (the really high one) at the top, it just makes you fall.
KETTLE IS SO OP
>door needs power rod>find power rod>room full of juicy loot and weaponsHECK YEAH BRO all mine haha
everyone in this game is such a little bitch
idiots trying to fight rocketeers kek
>>544703501lets see you do 10 minutes with a Queen
How fucking many players are there in a round? I just downed FIVE and there were still four more at the extraction, what the fuck?
>>54470732624 players in a match
>>544707326it backfills until the 15 minute mark. i've spawned directly on top of dead scavs
what is this slot for
>>544705849I've definitely had some pissy reactions but for the most part people have been pretty cool. I like the spirit of jolly cooperation in solo queue. It seems like every other game I end up cooperating with someone. One game, there were five of us kek.
>>544708947Big knot
>>544708947there are yellow mods that have bigger modifiers. the anvil can be turned into a weird shotgun thing and i've seen one that increases fire rate by a shitload but also pumps the recoil
did my default arc raider outfit evolve a bit? i swear it did. i got goggles and extra doodads
What are trials?
i think the simple gun parts might be a good early investment from celine (will be needed for your gun bps, and can only otherwise be found... i think)
when you find a good arc killing and player killing rifle early you really don't want to lose it too costly to replace or find again
>play 3 games>click E on junk until a group of zoomies gank me each time>check to see if I'm making any progress towards skins or something>everything cool costs 20 bucksat least i learned my lesson before the 90 minutes were up, easiest refund of my life this game sucks.
bros i dieded to someone who said they were a homie during extract///
alright which one of you little faggots put a fucking landmine on the metro zipline in buried city

What is the goal in this game?I don't understand
>>544710854To larp, shoot and die to PvE
I base my purchases off random retards on 4chan so I will NOT be buying AR
I remember when anons use to respect shroud...
>>544710854>why do people have fun playing gamesle distanced observer quandary
>>544711406I just seriously don't understandAll I am seeing is people loading into a game, run around and loot and then leaveIs that the entire gameplay?What is the end goal? How do you know you win?
>emote menu>wanna team up?>dance emote>they say yes>we walk together>pull out my shotgun and triple tap them in the back I've gotten so much loot this way
Should I update or will I be fine?
i only met shoot on sight players so far kinda sadlast extract was with like 5 corpses on the elevator and one guy looting one of them who didnt see me so i downed him but didnt knock out so i can extract safely>>544711903i myself didnt and instantly crashed due to lack of vram (4090) was fine after i updated
On the spaceport map there are humanoid robotic corpses, sometimes they turn back on and start talking with a creepy voiceI'm spooked
Tbh in all my solo raids (EU) people have been chill, teaming up and just chilling for shared extract.Group up and now everyone is just no mics sweaty faggots.
>>544711994I've had 3 different players not shoot me. 2 of them extracted with me. Still, I don't fully-trust anyone who asks to team up far away from the elevator. At best I just leave the area and make sure they don't shoot me in the back while I'm exiting.
I'm saving my special edition coins for the inevitable coomer skin
>>544712258yeah those are human made AI androids, like the one in the medic shop in speranza
I'm in South America and every single game I played today everyone was friendlyI didn't expect Brazilians to so peaceful

If you can aim you really should use the kettle until you get better guns.
>>544713551There are some like that too, but the one I saw looked more primitive, when they start talking the blue part on the head lights up
>>544713789I use dual stitcher and just rush down other players with my 50 total smg ammo. I'm not sure when the last time I killed an arc was, maybe TT3? Much easier to collect arc loot from player bodies after they did all the fighting for me.
>>544714046Kettle is really really good at killing players
>>544713981yeah those guys are labor androids, older versions robots -> androids -> rampant AI becomes ARC and wipes out humanity(saves it from itself by keeping the population in check)
>>544714171Why do you think so? You just like how it feels? Stitcher SMG's are for close range spraying, which is how I use them. I try not to get involved with mid range plinking ever since its a great way to get third partied.
>>544714396Does a lot of damage, incredibly accurate at midrange. You can consistently down people in a single mag. The issue is you have to be able to aim with it. Stitcher is really good at closer engagements because you can just slide around and reload between volleys.
>buried city>guy with ferro IV (guessing based on reload rate) and 400 ammo camping in central tower>has perfect accuracy somehow and perfect knowledge, pre aiming me when I peak from random locations all over the city>endlessly shooting at every player on the map>background noise is constant ferro reportsuch skill, waow
>>544622774How do I grind the yellow points? Is it like helldivers 2 where you have to collect shit and then extract?
I have the most fun by far when I ratdrop and have to play the game like a stealth game. Absolute kino trying to sneak out with a pack full of goodies and a shit gun with no ammo left, only alive because I crafted my own meds from scavenged cloth.
>>544715078Same, but I wish you could go prone and snek your way around the map
So, is the game good? Wondering if i should get it for the weekend or wait till sale.I've played tarkov for like 4 hours and enjoyed none of it, died every single time.
>>544715078Welcome to the hatchling club
>>544715715It's arcadey tarkov. If you like constant pvp with silly guns then you'd like Arc Raiders
>>544715715It's a very high quality well crafted game. The maps are excellent. Whether you enjoy the third person combat or game settings is another story, but when it comes to graphics, sound design, and IMO aesthetics and world design, the game is peak.
>>544713669anon, they need you to be friendly because it increases their chance to 'goldfarm'. He's trying to get a meal out of his loot
>>544715715Imagine battlefront II handling/movement/weapon play with flying robots and pvptarkov is far more meticulous with details, this is more casual friendly by a mile
>>544715715It's ass and I have buyers remorse. Just buy tarkov on the 15th
>>544715715Casual fantasy tarkov without the gun autism
>>544716195everyone has already played tarkov, stop pretending 1.0 is some new game

Is anyone else already kinda over this game? There's barely any content or fun loot.
I exclusively use the female voice 9 AI voice changer thank you I am a cute woman
>>544723572I use male voice 10 because it's funny...
>>544723570You might not simply enjoy the core gameplayI like the physics of the enemy AII like the atmosphereI like the sound designI like the player encountersThat alone keeps me playing
Shooting the drones reminds me of that game Receiver so much.
Game is pretty fun, I love the gun sounds. Really just the sounds in general. But what's really weird to me is that there is no stat tracking. I can't keep track of how many players I've downed or arc I've destroyed over my character's career? Also, no system of dogtags for player kills like tarkov? It just makes multiplayer feel so impersonal. It's nice that so many people use voip, and taking all of someone's shit is pretty personal, but I think the game could benefit from stat tracking and dogtags.
>>544724353How long do you see yourself playing? There really doesn't seem to be much...
>faggot camping extract almost kill me>i retreat and wait>he tries to bait me by calling extract and letting it go>finally get aggro'd by some flying shit and he cannot defend himself properly with his little sissy camper gun>put a bullet in his back with my anvilThis nigger also tried to hide his body by crawling into a bush when i was dealing with the bot LMAO.Thanks for reading my blog

Never enough stash space...

I'm winning the raider cache wars...
Screaming SIX SEVEEEN as loud as I can while popping people
>>544728505Neat, but I just think the weight of the pvp aspect in this game is a little light. Like it's super rewarding in tarkov to kill someone, tag their tag, and then inspect their profile after the raid. When you see they they have thousands of hours and great stats, it feels awesome to know you beat them. In arc you barely even know their name, and from there it's not like you can learn anything about them. It's great that you can loot absolutely everything from someone, but somehow it doesn't feel like as rewarding of a kill without knowing who they are.
huh this game is doing better than I thought with 264,673 players on steam. I thought people didn't like extraction shooters
The last time I saw so many friendlies in a game like this was the DayZ mod before it got popular. Whole servers are running together, it's wild.
>>544729362
>>544730316Game is extraction shooter but you can actually have fun without just killing each others.>>544730359Its great. I just say hi to randoms and tell them to follow me and most of the time they do.
guys... i think i like the game... im too scared to tell /v/...
the solos were right, ran into like 4 people, all friendly. just wish I brought more capacity
>>544730316The Finals, the last game this studio made, has an all time peak of 242,399 playersand it's free to play

Not sure how they're planing to actually sell any cosmetics because 95% of it sucks major dick. Only good-looking one is the one with the bomber jacket.

is this game solo friendly? im not here to make friends and wont team up with anyone
>>544732247I'll rape you
>>544732394you won't do shit faggot nigger.
>>544732247Solos are the strongest in this game
>>544732247it's fun to hide in corners and pew people with the hairpin as a solo
>>544730971>guy camping extract with a rocketeer right above>he fires at me>rocketeer immediately rapes him
>>544730359>>544730642Give it 2 weeks, the normalfags will move onto the next FOTM game and the only solos left will be the kill on sight and extract camping variety
>>544732247you can queue solo and get matched with solos or you can queue into a random trio team who you will never make friends with because everyone in the modern era is talking to their friends on discord instead
How the fuck do you even wall leap?
>go to extract with leaper around it>wait till somebody sneaks up>throw lure grenade>leaper LAUNCHES itself from 100 meters away and crushes them instantly>throw another lure grenade to send it away>loot body, extractlmaoooo
>>544733187hang on a ledge, look behind yourself, jump off that perk once maxed unlocks "secret" routes up several buildings in the game and lets you get into some barricaded areas for free, but requires a lot of knowledge and experimentation
>>544733187Hang off a wall the jump off in the opposite direction
>>544733127>you can queue solo alright that's all i needed to know. i'll buy the game in a month or 2 if there's still a playerbase left
>>544733453I recommend playing the game right now to experience the golden age of new player experience, before everything is metafied and vetfested with people rocking 100k loadouts and corner camping key zones with their heavy shield loadouts + 40kg of traps and barricades
I like the extracts on dam because they usually have a dangerous ARC patrolling nearby. This lets me threaten to use it against players if they are hostile to me. I like the extract on buried city because you have a chance to talk someone into being friendly from across the tracks while the train is coming. But if they are hostile then I have no option of baiting a powerful ARC to us.Are the extracts on spaceport and blue gate outside or inside?
I'm kettle gaming...I'm KETTLE GAMING!!!KETTLE LEVEL 2 GAMING!!!!
>>544733616yea, buy it full price goyim etc but in a few months queueing at level 1 is probably gonna be miserable
>>544733695>full price40 bucks isn't anything my man, skip lunch two times
>>544733616nah, FOMO won't work on me since it's just an extraction slop plus the woke character creation is gross. I'm going to wait a bit and see how development goes first.
>>544733354>>544733339You can just "hang"?

>>544734272People are just braindead kill hungry. They dont have room in their inventory for any more loot but they will still kill you just because
>>544734272your buddies should be able to loot your body if they call the extract again too
PvEfag here, what's my chance of enjoying this if I have zero interest in doing PvP?
>>544734730Zero. Do not buy.
>>544734730zero, whatever intent they had on a pve game ages ago it is firmly pvpve now
>>544734730You'll enjoy the PvE for a few minutes then hate it when you get shot in the back because the noise is a dinner bell to every bloodthirsty savage frothing at the mouth on the map
>>544734673They did but most of my stuff was just for upgrading my workbenches, and they were pretty full for the most part.
I like this game but it will be dead in a month or two, there isn't any goal to chase or long term progression. The gameplay isnt tight or competitive or rewarding enough to keep people coming back.It's definitely cinematic and fun but once the novelty wears off the fact is you're just collecting scraps until your next major setback where a mouth breathing free kit manages to get the drop on you and takes a week worth of gear with his level 1 kettle while you were looting a drone. Doing literally anything in the game attracts free kit scavengers like flies, because they have nothing to lose and everything to gain by suicide diving you and maybe scurrying away with hours worth of work, for their 2 minutes time.
>>544735032If you have a medium shield a scav isn't going to kill you with 1 mag of their freebee gun
>>544734730None. If you shoot a drone everyone within 500m instantly charges your position. PvP is a requirement, even if its juking other players to extract you are forced to interact with hostile players.
>>544734776>>544734842Well fuck, thanks anons. >>544734843One thing that has really turned me off from PvP games like this was the Tarkov cheating video. It's one thing to get killed by somebody and just assume they either got lucky or were just straight better than you. But these days, you have to wonder: could they see you through that wall? Did their aim snap on you? It's kinda frustrating. >>544735238Damn. Everything about this game looks right down my alley, except PvP. I really do not care about large open world free for all PvP. If anything my jam is / was siege / counter strike style PvP, short and sweet rounds in maps that are not too large.
>>544735032Maybe you should wear gear if you don't want to die to scavs
>>544735238people keep saying this, I never see it.
>>544735395>Damn. Everything about this game looks right down my alley,How? It's a pvp extraction game? I'm curious because you're not the only one asking for a PvE mode but this game is a shallow arcadey tarkov so I wonder why people are drawn to it that only want the PvE and looting aspect of it.
Free kits are too good. There is no downside.>b-but your special pocket!who cares, just try again with another free kit
>>544735860Free kits are shit, if you get a level 1 rattler you're not killing anyone. If you get a ferro you might do ok I guess.
>>544735395just skip it, ESP use is already rampant and people are either glitching to shoot through walls or its part of a hackI'm about to drop it myself after only 10 hours, and having been pretty excited from the server slamDied several times today from people shooting through corners (without being revealed)There are the bones of a good game here, but its be re-arranged into an abomination meant to cater to subhumans.
>>544735860Most free kits for the most part only get two volley of shots and if they can't kill you then they automatically lose. If you have a medium shield they automatically lose.
I wish someone showed proof...
>>544736358Maybe they pushed x to swap shoulders bro
>>544736506swapping view doesn't let you peek without revealing yourself, people are literally shooting through the wall, tracers emerging through solid cover
Some nerds were getting angry at me for bringing a kit>YOU RUIN THE MATCHMAKING BRO
NOBODY CAN CATCH ME NYA-HA-HA~
When you have a good key do you care if your teammates die while you loot the rare zone and get a bunch of purple guns?
>>544735860>>544736410My only gripe is that fighting a free kit scav is a lose-lose situation. You'll pretty much never get more loot off their body then you'll have to spend to kill them.
Fragging other scavs with my Ferro...
>>544735767The weapons look like they feel satisfying to use, and I like fighting big robots, preferably with other people. If that gameplay is fun, I'm down. I'm just not big on the "getting mowed down while trying to extract" concept. >>544736358Any cheating / hacking: Corners and walls have been a problem in third person PvP games since FOREVER. In FPS pvp, if you want to look around a corner, you have to expose your head. The corner / wall / high ground still gives you an advantage as more of your body is obscured and you have a smaller hitbox, but again: If you want to see your enemy, you have to make yourself vulnerable by allowing the enemy to also be able to see you. In third person, there's an inherent advantage to hugging cover and camping. Because you are closer to the cover, you can see around the cover, while anyone trying to kill you, needs to get around the cover to kill you, which means you will see them coming. Mechwarrior devs promised us they would never do third person for this reason, and then they promised us they would only do third person on specific match types that you could avoid, and then they just put third person in for everyone.
>enter match>29:30 well dang, set alarm>go hide in a corner of the map for a little bit >around 15 minutes remaining is the sweet spot when everyone begins to fuck off or get paranoid and leave>free loot (whatever is left) or kill arc for 10 minutes, typically red zones still have plenty of arc/loot left>5 minutes left to head to extract, usually get out with smoke grenades even if dumb faggots trying to contest it >bonus exp based on time spent in match>no AFK timeout>often find dead raiders on the way out with full loot still on body since they got sniped or drones were around when they died and killer left Not saying its a perfect system, but I definitely notice all the scavs have fucked off or died and stopped spawning in by 15, almost everyone has left, and the only people who ARE left are hyper paranoid about extracting and probably carrying valuable stuff+low on supplies.Downside is of course you wasted 14ish minutes of your play time and have to rush towards the end, but its a much different environment if you are patient and wait it out. Getting caught in the initial scramble is disastrous. O
>>544737756Pussy bitch. Every time I spawn in I rush the nearest red zone. I've extracted 12 times and died 4 and had more fun than you!
actually I don't think I have ever NOT extracted with less than 5 minutes remaining, only accidentally died to drones when biting off more than I could chew when I had the map to myself
I am the Central Swamp Lift Murderer...Do not come here if you don't want to die...
>>544733661spaceport are the same as dam
>ok your quest is to carry this heavy object that slows you down and makes it so you cannot fight back or hide across the map to the shelf it fits into, no we aren't going to mark the location on the map for you figure it out >btw there are 29 other players on the map who will instantly murder you if they see you slowly slogging along with your burden, good luckcool
>see a surveyor every single raid>get a quest to kill a surveyor>they all fucking vanish from existence
>>544738325Those boxes spawn like no more than a couple minutes away from the nearest field depot
Is there actually a reason to focus the quests? Obviously you get loot, but you also get loot just by playing the game
>>544738593I'm assuming more of the story they cooked up for the 3 years they were working on this game as a PvE title will be revealed.They quests also give you recipes for stuff like lure grenades.
>take free kit>see other raider>dive him full auto and begin swinging in melee if I run out of bullet>if I die I die who cares>if I win, I might win the lottery >if he wins he wasted his ammo+meds and time and revealed his position and nothing I was carrying is useful to him especially if I deleted my bandage+shield pack.>if he dies he had hours possibly days of his life wasted depending on what he was carrying>or if he was a scav he had his match time wasted as I take what he looted tl;dr aggressively suicide diving scav has zero downsides and only upsides, there is no reputation system or consequence for being a stupid evil aggressive little faggot
>>544738902>if he dies he had hours possibly days of his life wastedThis isn't tarkov. It takes 20 minutes max to buy a high level kit
Is it fun or interesting to fight free kit scavs when you have gear?No.Can they kill you? Yes, especially if they get the drop on you or came with the right weapon + random gadget. Solution: scav gun should be rattler 1. No ferro/kettle/stitcher. Rattler 1 allows them to defend self against drones and arc, but securing kills on players is very difficult with the 10 round mag restriction
There should be a shield tier below green for scavs. Make it half as effective as a green shield vs player damage, but equally effective vs arc damage.
>>544739195free tier shield is a good idea actually, trying to pvp as a scav really should be considered suicidal rather than a calculated and rewarding activity (not a risk, since you risk nothing) a scav should feel stupid for attacking a geared raider, not 'oh I almost had him, because I know if I had hit 15 shots with my 20 round kettle mag it kills a medium shield user'
>>544739130>>544739195Just wear medium armour?
if the free kit didn’t exist the queue times to get into games will be aids as fuck, i think it’s literal shitters who aren’t taking anything other than a green shield in thinking the free loadout is good
Anons are losing to me pushing 3 and holding down left-click... sisters...
>>544739371How exactly does medium armor stop some scav from draining my meds by picking a fight they can't win? I never said "man I hate dying to scavs with a level 1 kettle :((" , I said "man it sucks fighting free kits because they aren't worth the bullets it takes to kill them"
I NEVER HAVE ENOUGH STASH SLOTS
I just died to PvE with my expensive kit.................................
>want to swipe to make my character look cool>every single cosmetic is dogshit What's their gameplan? Do they think people are actually gonna spend money on this trash?
free kit should not come with any utility items. Just a basic tier 1 weapon, and half a stack of ammo. Also you should not be able to complete quests with it.
>>544738593Quests give you free Blueprints later so they can be worth doing but grinding out upgrades is more important.
>>544740636It's truly bizarre how all of the paid skins are utter dogshit. There's so many of them already and they're all abysmal.
>>544741498The best skin is the one you get for hitting level 74 and it's funny to me
blue gate is pretty, but it's ass if you're in any of the open areas. no cover from anyone or thing
>>544740408the first time i brought in a GG kit i crashed and couldnt reconnect
I got 3 levels worth of EXP by throwing grenades as a Bastion
some of the extracts, like on dam, are just too easy to extract camp. they get free sightline from multiple sources of cover
>>544743476It' swhy I always bring smokes
>>544743306how many grenades? what levels?
>>5447437679 to 12. I just threw 12 at it and it gave obscene EXP per grenade toss.
>>544743712same, except i just got rocketeer'd. the fucking thing CHEATS
>>544743792Just normal little impact grenades? cheapies? If so I know what I'm about to go do
>>544743476On dam? Dam has big arcs all around the extract protecting your ass. Buried city can have someone sitting on the other side of the platform you can't go to, in a darkess your flashlight can't reach
i dont know if i like the 90 clicks to mod out a gun. so tired of the faggoty console UIs
>>544744274im talking about the consoles having too much LOS on them
>>544744347throw some smokes, pop an adrenalineif its too camped go to another one >inb4 I shouldn't have to use consumables in a consumable based pvp game
so dam control tower drop isnt a thing anymore?
>>544744271I was using the blue ones but anything that does a lot of damage probably gives a ton of exp
Siccing 3 wasps on someone is the funniest thing I've seen in this gameBring Lure Grenades and smokes
>never played extraction shooterWhat's this game like playing from Australia?Is it fucked ping wise and I'm going to hate it?
>>544745276theres plenty of players i find games both solo and trio within 30 seconds
>>544745613How's the ping though, are there local servers or are we playing on 200 ping to US-West?
i swear i have like 8 kills after 12 hours
>>544746565we have our own servers, if youre not (too) autistic I'd be down to play with you if you want to drop steamcode t.hatcanine
there are SECRET SPOTS, that always have gg (pink rarity, guns) loot. im sure tiktok NETDECKING fags will be all over it soon, but for now i have one (1) secret spot.
>>544747191care to share with the rest of the class?
Okay, I kneel, the blue gate is the coolest extraction shooter map.
>>544746565there is oceania region matchmaking, I was playing there from singapore because I cant stand asian region players, and never waited for a match
>>544738325I did this to somebody because I also had this mission active. Only time I have gunned somebody down in cold blood so far.
I am winning...

>have the kit on that automatically gets rid of the spider bots on your face after 1 second>it does so>but the prompt for removing the spider bot staysinteresting bug
sell me on the game. never really played an extraction shooter, but on paper the concept seems like a mixed bag to me.watched a couple hours of people streaming this. gunplay looks real fun, robots look cool, scavenging/stealth gameplay i can get behind a bit, but pvp generally looks meh however. i dunno if i should bite the bullet.
running into nerds w/ 2x stitchers
>>544750778It's clowny arcade pvpThere isn't really any rules beyond what the game gives you. You can arbitrarily spare or kill people. Basically, it's larping.
>>544750943i dunno, i'm just not a free for all or 1v1 kind of person, hence why i'm not too thrilled since that's what the game's focus is, despite checking off every other box i like.
>>544751764Then you won't like the game.
>>544751843damn, that's shame.
WHY ISNT THERE A TOGGLE SPRINT BUTTON WHY DO I HAVE TO HOLD SHIFT
>>544752003>playing your designed for console shooter on keyboard and mousethat's like crying your asshole hurts after shoving your gf's dildo up your own ass instead of hers
>>544751764>>544751843huh? you barely need to pvp (as far as shooters go).
the PVE being threatening and the TTK not being instantaneous has made me co-op extract more in the first day than i ever managed in tarkov
>>544747229it's all i have man, and just in game
Do headshots even matter in this shit?I went into the practice area and it takes 4 shots from the anvil anywhere to kill a light and like 5/6 for a medium.
>>544754178Matters a lot for the kettle
what weapons are you guys runningeverything I think I want to run anvil I find myself needing another faster secondary
>>544752003But there is a toggle sprint... I'm using itNo toggle aim though
I got a legendary mod for the anvil that makes it fire multiple shots and I'm scared to use it because I don't want to lose it
>>544754673stitcher is solid especially with a few ranks and a small mag upgradei also like the silenced pistol, ferro or anvil for pveim liking most of the guns though
are (we) using the built in female voice modulators yet? or is it modulation or ai dub?
>>544754673The kettle is almost certainly going to be nerfed. Not that it deserves it, but it will be. Use that>>544754765We in the business call that "gear fear"The only way to get past it is to force yourself to run it anyway until you stop caring. Just remember, you're only borrowing all the shit in your inventory and if you're not using it it's useless.
>hear random stray bullet near me>goes to extract'tis that simple
First hotfix inbound
i run in with my big gear whenever my stash is close to being fullit's how i kinda deal with gear fear

Anyone else finding themselves having trouble to do the daily Feat challenges? they're pretty rigid in their challenges meaning you have to purposefully go into a run with that mindset to do them rather than play your run naturally so I always keep thinking "Next run"
What's a good place to find Rusted Tools for Gunsmith?
anyone here have level 2 workshops yet
holy shit
what's max stash size? im at ~190 (90k for next upgrade)
>>544755802would picking the front mod that reduces shot spread help this ?
>>544755996500 exactly
>>544755714junk yards... i think they're on space whatever but i cant recall
I can't ever find a supply drop summon thingy...
>>544754459So I tested that and its one bullet difference on getting all headshots vs all body.
>>544756194no idea
>>544756550they're easier to see visually than an on the map. they don't appear until you're really close. look for antenna with a white light on top
>>544755713Honestly, between free kits and custom loadouts, I find myself doing them pretty consistently. Though it has slowed down ever since I unlocked the rest of the maps.
is there only one scoped rifle? >>544755802what are the other legendary mods?this is the only one I've seen so far
>>544757153Yes, the osprey. Nothing else has a scope
the holy quadruple, hoping to unlock broad shoulders soon
>>544752436I agree. TTK here I think is the factor. Getting ambushed doesn't mean immediately dying if you're not at full heath, so being the ambusher is more of a gamble since unless the ambusher is specifically seeking out PvP at the extract point (which is and should continue being completely valid and viable) he's also taking on more risk. I think it's a great little sweet spot where risk is there and real but also where cooperation is a viable strategy even for people who have spent the entire round PvPing.
What's your looting map, anons? I need dosh/useful stuff so I go spaceport solo and climb up the launch tower
>actually extracted with 3 different solo strangerswell then
>>544757742im trying to run dam so i can get some fucking fruits but i keep dying before i reach the nature area
>>544757445witness my god build
>>544757980>her lungs are old...
>joins round 11 minutes latesloppy seconds is my thing anyway
>>544757742i like the residential buildings on north dam. no one is ever there and it's always filled with like ~30k in trinkets
i wish we could explore speranza like destiny tower and see other players
>>544754972modulation since my accent bleeds through a bit. its hilarious, however, the cruel mistress that is statistical probability dictates that there will be troons born from this function
>>544758241>crashes anyway (losing SICK kit)
>>544757776I had 4 people in an extract yesterday. People are so much more chill compared to the server slam. You'd get in on and extract and they'd be wasting bullets blasting you as the hatches were closing.The 40$ pricetag really did filter out all the chimps.
twice now ive crashed in a place i KNOW NO ONE WILL EVER FIND ME EVER NEVERand i still couldnt reconnect. both times i decided to bring my GOOD shit in
>>544754972Use the 2nd or 3rd female voice, the first one will make most guys just sound like a little kid and you'll be 2x more likely to be shot, the others can be semi convincing
>the devs literally named this as a rank
>>544757907>dam>fruitsnever seen a single fruit on dam, figured they'd be on blue or buried city garden
>>544758885had 5 in this one, just saw the door open and sprinted in, glad they let us extract with them and keep our hard earned loot. its nice to have players be chill. https://streamable.com/4ndc6h
>>544759567I heard buried city has baskets in the houses that will have fruit in them.
>>544759248your internet must suck, what region are you in? i havent had a single dc yet, the netcode's been surprisingly good, although im sure i got like ~80+ ping/ms, because i do miss shots on moving targets. I am in an isolated city though.
>>544757776my record is 5 others on solo, it was hilarious, we all came from different directions, and a rocketeer was griefing us all with a couple of wasps. I kinda miss that match, it was easily the most fun i've had so far really. I hope to have another game like it.>>544759723i believe they have trees that you kick to get them to drop. I have 1 apricot i got from the Dam in total, it dropped from a dead body that was planted by rng, not an actual corpse of a player, very early on in my play sessions.
>>544759918Yeah it found one of those baskets at the dam. It was at a camp near one of the locked tube extracts, it only had one lemon in it. Only fruit I have actually forged at the dam is prickle pears.
>me and group keep running buried city trying to get town hall>everytime we join its late spawn and its already looted>get the jump on guys extracting right by it>they had a town hall keyNo one can use this key
>>544760610any good spot for farming blueprints?
people at the hospital in buried city fucking love christmas
>>544760696not yet, this was random. before this i only had like 3 total
>>544759567>never seen a single fruit on damWhen I was winding down before bed last night I watched some streamerfag playThere was a basket on Dam near the dome extraction point sitting really close to a vertical bit of metal sticking in the ground, hidden by a bushSo they exist, but they're really hard to see and probably are not a static spawn
>anvil blueprintI cummed
>>544759918>I have 1 apricot i got from the Dam in total2 games in a row my group extracted at the raider hatch in the Red lake areaThere was an apricot tree there with 2 on the ground and another you could kick downMight not be a static spawn, but if you're near there, worth a look since it's right next to a POI
>>544760728buried city loot has been kinda nuts. how much do the snowdomes go for?
oh huh i'm surprised trials aren't a separate queue. glad it's just Extra Progression
this is such a joke for 70cred
did they intend solo players to farm (FOUR) leapers? some of the tier 3 workbenches seem rough
>>5447611417000
>>544761429I like it it's funny >>544761525endgame is not doable soloI heard you need to kill queen for the last tier of upgrades
I've said in /v/, but I'll repeat myself. This "game" will die faster than Anthem did. It's garbage. It doesn't deserve or need a general either. This is just a marketing move. This thread and this game will be dead in under a week. Nobody is interested in all of this garbage. Waste of resources.
has anyone tried the ledge drop on Dam control tower? Did they block it off or what
>>544761817I somewhat agree but it's not going to be worse than Anthem or die in a week or even month.
>>544761817it's not going to die in a week, it's going to die in 3 months because there's no wipes/leagues or anything like that so it will get stale. But it's fun for now.
>>544761990you can still do the drop but they blocked the window. they added a backpack and a random osprey spawn on the ledge as a consolation prize though
>>544761990I tried it during a night raid and it was blocked off and then I got fucked up by the rocketeer flying nearby.I dunno if that was just a night raid thing though.
>>544762196>>544762383This is about the oversaturation of the market with the live service looter shooter boring braindead garbage. This game doesn't do anything new, it does old things but worse. There are always new children, but they aren't playing this shit either.This game was born dead, the industry doesn't understand it and produces live service mtx ridden boring trash flop after flop. And the slop consumers are going to consoom for a few days tops. Maybe. Plus, half of that online are probably bots.I just can't in good faith imagine a PC gamer, who still doesn't know what this game is all about after watching a part of a single sponsored video. It's like, how many times will you buy the same shit, are you that fucking retarded? I don't think any of this crap aka "hype" and "numbers" are organic. I think this is all marketing. Streamers aren't going to play this garbage unless they're paid and their viewers won't either.
>>544763350I haven't ever bought a pvp looter extraction shooter before this one. This is the first time I've actually been intrigued enough to buy one.
>>544763350
>>544763350I think you're mentally ill. This game won't replace Tarkov but it's definitely way higher quality than all the other assorted crap we got like ABI, Gray Zone Warfare, Delta Force, etc
>>544763350you're miserable and focus on negativity.
when's the update for xbox?i wanted to play with someone who's on console and it just says his client is out of date
>>544763350>I just can't in good faith imagine a PC gamer, who still doesn't know what this game is all aboutWhat's it all about?
>>544764034It's a PvPvE extraction looter shooter where you either cooperate with or compete against other players in the course of navigating a hostile environment to extract resources and equipment you later use to create more resources and equipment.
>>544763350Make me smile how you both complain about live-service and say this game will die in 3 weeksYeah this game isnt designed as live-service and could die in a month, still entirely worth the money tho, because it's great
>>544758885>>544759720Is this an american thing? EU still has monkeys that will delay the extract just to kill you in the extract.I'm not saying that extracting with others should be risk free but it's interesting to see such a difference between servers.
>>544763734>>544763769>>544763819picrel.>>544764034it's about wasting your time. and then also trying to make you waste money on it. Its day 1. Expect battle pass, season, exlusive, fomo, etc soon.>>544763668your post sounds like what a marketer of this game would say. Assuming you're geniune, you're about 15 years too late to the online craze and live service garbage hype, because most people play most games for 2 days and move on. Nobody takes this time wasting looter shooter seriously, almost nobody is going to invest themselves into playing it for 20k hours. This is the wrong game to invest yourself into in 2025.
>>544764680it works in EU too but you do gotta keep in mind they might wanna murder you and play accordingly(if you're getting downed get downed at the console and you can extract anyway)
>>544763350You are autistic and severely depressed, your way of thinking doesn't apply to the majorityStop spending so much time caring about things you hate (for no apparent reason) and for heaven's sake, go outside once in a while.
>>544764917
>>544764917forgot picrel.>>544764358>still entirely worth the money tho, because it's greatIt isn't though. Heroes of Might and Magic is a great game. And you could buy the entire HOMM 1 to HOMM 5 collection for 10 bucks on gog. Or 12. Maybe you still can. 5 Games with dlc's and addons and single player campaigns, plus multiplayer, plus level editing, plus modding. Talk about something being worth it.
>>544764917>it's about wasting your timeAren't all games wasting time? Or at least built around the idea that the way you waste time is hierarchical and that some forms of wasting time are privileged? That people who enjoy wasting their time might pay money for well-crafted time wasting experiences? This is a VERY fuckin weak argument kek. I was expecting something better.
Would you guys recommend this game to someone who doesn't have friends to play it with?
What's the deal with the yellow "Ryder" outfit colour in the (((Raider Deck)))? It's on the third page for 70 credits but I already have it. I am literally using it right now.???
>>544765486Its fine with randoms and solos is only against solos. I play it without anyone, even added a few people off the game because it has its own integrated friends list
>>544763350>god forbid people have jobs unlike you
>>544765486>Would you guys recommend this game to someone who doesn't have friends to play it with?100%Solo players get (mostly) matched up with other solo playersProbably 80% of the time I found another solo yesterday, it was peacefulEven if you die, the chicken will still get you basic materials to help keep you from being perpetually poorIt's more fun in a group and you aren't punished as much for your mistakes (because they can rez you) but it's definitely a good solo experience
>>544765486it's fun solo so far but endgame seems to require coop
>>544765064nice damage control, developer. or rather a marketer.>>544765087the quality of the game/subgenre reflects the quality of the imaginary bait>>544765293>Aren't all games wasting time?No.>Or at least built around the idea that the way you waste time is hierarchical and that some forms of wasting time are privileged?No. You misunderstand completely. Wasting time inside of a game doesn't equal to wasting time by engaging in a hobby. Besides most hobbies are useful, including gaming, because they might just inspire a person to create something of their own. Not try to suck all of the money out of their wallets with mtx and such.>That people who enjoy wasting their time might pay money for well-crafted time wasting experiences?Sure, but this software is not a well crafted time wasting experience. The amount of players, such as an all time peak reflects it clearly. I'm not going to point out the fundamental flaws in the design of this piece of software, because I'm not interested in helping the industry extract the money from players.>This is a VERY fuckin weak argument kekThe argument are the player numbers. This shit has 200.000 less all time peak than fucking Path of Exile II does. Path of Exile II a turbo autistic niche earlly access clunky unbalanced ARPG. kek indeed.
got my hands on a wolfpack. is it enough to take out any of the larger arc or will i just get fucked
>>544765486Bought it yesterday with the complete intention of solo and surprisingly it has the most dynamic gameplay since some are gonna wanna team or truce, squads seems to be always kos
>>544766047It will do a LOT of damage to it, but depending where all the micromissiles hit, it might not take it out entirelybring a ferro and a stack of ammo
>>544764917>Assuming you're geniune, you're about 15 years too late to the online craze and live service garbage hype, because most people play most games for 2 days and move on. Nobody takes this time wasting looter shooter seriously, almost nobody is going to invest themselves into playing it for 20k hours. This is the wrong game to invest yourself into in 2025.Dude I think you'd be better off not getting caught up in stuff like this. I don't, the game just looked neat. It's a fresh experience for me and if I get 40 hours out of it, there's my hour per dollar value. If i get more, great. I've already had a fun night with it and few of my friends bought the game so I can dick around with them now.
>>544766026>the game is bad>it has lower numbers than [other game] Thanks for your input, anon. >Besides most hobbies are useful, including gaming, because they might just inspire a person to create something of their ownIf the metric on wasting time on an activity is that it "might just inspire a person to create something of their own," then nothing is a waste of time because anything could plausibly inspire someone into creating something (e.g. rubbing poop on your face could inspire you to create a YouTube channel) and the primary pillar of your "argument" is completely moot. Really lazy arguments, anon. You seem new at this whole "arguing about nothing on the internet" thing.
>>544766131>squads seems to be always kosThe issue is that all 3 of the squad members need to be friendlyIf just one of them is trigger-happy, then both squads end up forced into KOS behavior1v1, if I'm friendly, I have to worry about one person being a dick - the other guyIn 3v3, I have to worry about 5 other peopleAnd most of the time, one of them will be a dick
>>544766451>then nothing is a waste of time because anything could plausibly inspire someone into creating somethingCorrect. All hobbies are viable. But this game is wasting your time. It just is. That's how it was designed at the core.
>blue gate final map to unlock>most fun to play>most pretty>people have been most willing to fuck around and teamwork Guess they did save best for last at launch
I unlocked Spaceport and it feels like a bloodbathThrice in a row now I've gotten killed by slavnigs just a couple of minutes into a raid
I feel like the traders' stuff is all way too expensive. Multiple thousands of dollarydoos for a gun that takes like three metal parts to make is not a fair trade.
>>544766662>Correct. >but also not correct because here's this special exception based on the inversion of what i just admitted was correctOk that's enough attention for you kek
>>544766891Shill all you want. Design is flawed, game is garbage. It'll be ded on Monday.
>>544766836>free loadout>run into control tower on dam>loot lockers and blue side desks>trinkets>repeat
just when I was starting to save up again..
>>544767026I mean yeah, you can do that, or you can use the money on stash space and definitely pick up some basic crafting materials on the way and end up with more of whatever guns/ammo/etc you were aiming for. They're still a poor value proposition from traders, a bizarrely poor one.
>>544767135hoarderbros it hurts
Are these not the rocket thrusters outside the Rocket Assembly?I need to "scope them out", but walking up to them didn't do shit
>>544767567turn right a bit
Night raid loot drops are intense. I got two purple keys dropped and like $20k within the first five minutes (although I did spawn right at 30 minutes time left) and left in the next two minutes without seeing a single ARC or other player
>>544767567For me, in quests when they say "investigate" or "take a picture", there's usually a spot nearby with a yellow E that you can interact withI haven't done this one specifically though

>>544769545This is so dumb if true
>>544769301I agree, it's fine for trios but I think solos should have the number of players per map reduced a bit. Maybe balance that by increasing number of arc
>>544768496I found one of these in the beta.
>night raidI feel like these are inherently a bad idea because people will just increase their gamma
im 2 scared 2 use them
>>544770671me too. I have only ran with free loadouts
holy fvuark I just killed a guy and he had this on him, and he was seconds from leaving on the train on buried city
>>544770671i don't think there's a lot of reason to bring them along until you're hunting stronger arc. players die fast enough to a kettle
>>544771002free is too much of a disadvantage, at least once you're you've played enough to unlock the maps and maybe unlock your level 1 benches
okay that's kind of cool
>>544772294that shit was hilarious in TT2people flooded the place, and there were corpses everywhere
>>544769647Are you gonna dig your own underground workshop into the bedrock or whatever? It makes sense that in an underground city space will be at a premium, if only because no one can be fucked to excavate more area.
Completely new to this game, but what's up with people shooting to down you but taking forever to just finish you off, are they expecting me to beg?
>>544769545I regularly get 8-9k rounds just from moving around, killing ARC, looting shit, and defending myself from other players. It's a silly use of time to just hide around for 25min imo.
>>544772723They probably don't want to down you right away because they want to see if somebody will come out to revive you. Its unlikely, but its not impossible to get queued against squads as a solo and its also possible for solos to team up with each other.
>>544772723If you've done damage to them they'll want to heal first before exposing themselves again incase somebody tries to 3rd party them.
Has anyone actually heard anyone use the voice changer feature?I've turned my on but I have no idea what it sounds like
>supply drops requested 0/1What am I looking for here are these randomly spawned on the map?
>>544773982Depending on how deep your voice is there's a "right" pick for you if you want to sound like a real egirl, there's plenty of examples on youtube of people showing it off
>>544774026they're antennas, they have a little light on top of it
>>544774026It's an antenna with blue lights at the top and a console at the base. They're single use and rare, I literally played for 8 hours before finding one>>544772726>8-9kI've been regularly extracting with 30-40k, you gotta pump those numbers up>>544772723Downed bodies are tanky and reloading is slow. If I mag dump your body and your teammate rolls up, I'm fucked.It's a good system IMO
>>544772723People love to humiliate.
is this game worth it if i don't have friends to play with
Where the hell am I suppose to find apricots and lemons?
>>544775906i found lemons in the blue field zone, some small trees can be interacted with for 1 or 2apricots no idea
>>544775906have you tried the fruit treesor the fruit baskets
>>544775859solo is good fun
>>544776117thanks is it true that endgame is impossible solo and you need to group up in order to do quests/kill bosses/get stuff?
>>544775859>is this game worth it if i don't have friends to play with100%>>544765749
>>544775992If blue field zone is Buried City, I have yet to check it out. Only been going to Dam so far>>544776037Had no idea fruit trees were a thing, but as mentioned above these probably don't exist in Dam since it feels like I scoured the entire map
>>544776237teaming up with randoms is a big part, yeah
>Halloweentime for some night raids
>>544775906I found a bunch in baskets in a raider camp in the Dam
>>544763350your autism is ruining your life, stop whining about things you don't like, your argumentation is weak and delusional.
>finally find the dog collar>extracting>guy comes up and says "hey man i wont shoot you, just let me leave ok?">"Yeah man, sure" >shoots me in the head while im using the consoleI have marked down your steam name. I will find you and have my vengeance in this life or the next.
I'm at the point where I've crafted so much of what I actually use which is just looting kits and health/shield related items that I'm full on items that I can't really use, should I just start selling all these materials so I can get more space cause I dunno what else to do otherwise
>>544778053Craft your workbenches, note down which materials you need for the items you like using, sell the rest and use the dosh to buy more vault space.I would sell all of those blue items except the arc circuitry (used to repair medium shields)
>>544777771saar, your safe pocket?
>>544779007Free kit run. Wasnt expecting to find it
finally found some firendly lads we teamed up and killed one of the artillery walkerstoo bad its all kos pvp ratting
>>544777771What's the most surefire area to find the collar? There's only the apartments on dam that have the residential tag but it's never in there.
>>544779289The breachables in the little underground spawn areas at the edges of the map on dam have a huge chance for collars. I've probably found half a dozen
>>544767497Is that the max storage size?
>>544778053look at every item in Celeste's store, all of those can be bought with seeds. Recycle/sell them and seedmax
Does anyone have the 'Riposta' set (Stalker SEVA suit) available in their shop? I've been seeing pictures of it online from the last day but it's not in my shop, tons of people seem to have the same issue.
>>544779157>team up with some lads to kill a bastion>we stick together the entire time blasting arc and gathering more players or killing the bad ones>kill the bastion>it turns into a shootout when it comes time to actually loot itThe only time I will team up with players now is to extract together.
I'm actually surprised at how many people are willing to cooperate at extractions. Maybe I was too jaded thinking people would always try to kill you there (EU).
Needs more enemies that will chase you inside. Like a robot dog or a small version of the leaper (but bigger than the tick) that will follow you indoors
>>544781640most people who are trying to extract are already full of stuff so it's very risky to start a fight and risk getting ARC'd or third partied while you do it
Been just sitting on top of testing annex and sniping snitchs across the map to draw aggro and fighting the arcs it spawns.Just straight farming ARC power cells and alloy and various drivers.In my servers testing annex is the safest extract in the world
>>544782232>start a fight and risk getting ARC'dReminds me of something that happened last night to meWe were in a 3-man party, my buddy got a rocketeer on himAnother 3-man party was nearby and aggro'd usThe 2 of us knocked 2 of them, but the third one of them got us bothSo our buddy dragged the rocketeer towards the carnage, got knocked because he was already weak, but the rocketeer aggro'd onto the last remaining guy on their teamWe all died together
Holy shit, just sitting up in a tall building and shooting at ARC fighting other players is so fun. I love helping
>>544782914Arc farming is probably more lucrative then any other strategy
>have a game where I spend genuinely like 10 minutes just shooting arc I'm talking 100 ferro shots killing various arc>extract>immediately unlock a "trial" where you get rewarded for shooting a bunch of arc in one raid>personal best: 0fucking kill me lol. one raid too early
>>544782232Yeah it makes sense people wouldn't wanna risk losing their shit but still I didn't expect it. It does make you feel like humans are uniting against ARC, which is cool. In most online games the "story" isn't something you actively think about because everyone is just trying to kill you. I'd say about 50% of my encounters with randoms were peaceful as well, especially in Buried City.
>>544783232Funny how Arc is literally at it's best playing as solo and forging alliances and doing co-op spontaneously, always feels great
crawling around buried city with a cup fucking begging and pleading for an ESR analyzer. please my family is dying

>free kit spawns with the ferro and 60 heavy bulletsnow i have to stop shoot and reload like im in the Napoleonic wars
I just heard a guy who uses one of the female voicesit sounds pretty good, but you can absolutely tell
>>544785552>New arc>New map>Snow versions of existing maps>Less then 2 months post launchHypeI am quickly becoming a free embark shill
hey, guy who shot me in the head with his anvil as we were extracting - fuck you buddy. my medium shield ate like 20 durability FUCK good joke bud FUCK

>>544785552it wll be cancelled in a week, lmao.
The hype is over - ARC Raiders failed
>>544786195Voice 5 is pretty convincing, a lot of people are making the mistake of picking voice 1 trying to be an egirl and it's the most obvious thing ever
>>544781337>The only time I will team up with players now is to extract together.oh you innocent you
>>544787818i thought about getting this but then i saw the cheater clip compilation. EAC does nothing
Some actual shitty cosmetics
>when in a match press esc, system, and look at proximity and it'll show you if a player is around youWhat the fuck why
>>544788042>cheater clip compilationLink?
>>544788042>cheater clip compilationAll of which have been long since patched, you can tell from the UI
>>544788125>watch dogs 1 multiplayer tricks are back
>>544784759where the fuck are apricots and lemons
>>544787846I use 9
>>544788461>apricots and lemonsIf you've got Blue Gate unlocked, Olive Grove has multiple treesOtherwise you can find some baskets in Dam that have some, and in Dam near the Red Lake raider hatch there's an Apricot spawn I found twice in a row (could still be non-static spawn though)
>>544788635Also the central park in Buried City has some trees that can spawn fruitBe careful though, the ARC presence is heavy there and there's a sniper turret that can fuck you up
>>544766026You sound like an utterly miserable, know it all prick. Are you like that because you are a friendless virgin?Or are you a friendless virgin because you are like that.?
Why is What goes around quest not completing, destroyed a few ARC with the Fireball Burner
>Go scope out the thrusters in spaceport assembly!>Not the thruster INSIDE space sport assembly>Not the 3 thrusters closest outside the building either>It's actually the thruster on the other side of the fucking map, nowhere near the POI in the quest descriptionThey all look the same too, fucking braindead quest
It's kind of surprising to me how theres this big ass sandbox to play the game around with utilities and traps and the best the community can come up with is their TDM clips.
Is there a way to consistently start with a gun, ammo, a shield, and a combat pack? I’ve died in my first 3 games, I’ve never seen them lootable besides 1 gun and some ammo, and I have no way of crafting them. If dying enough makes me start without the bare essentials I’m just gonna refund cus that’s no fun.
>>544790064all of them do it if you go inside the thruster nozzlelol
>>544790437Combat pack no, but free load outs give you everything else.What are you dying to?
>>544790437Sir, your free loadouts? when you queue into a match theres a tab at the top.
>>544790437The tutorial should force you into selecting a shitty "Free Loadout" that comes with a basic gun, ammo, shield, shield recharger, and bandages. After you hit play and select and area, it should be around the top middle or top right of your screen while you're preparing your loadout for the match.
>>544790437Select thisYou will drop into a map with a free gun, ammo, shield, and some health itemsIf you extract, you can keep those items and any you loot along the wayAt one of the traders you can trade in the "Free Loadout" backpack for any of the 3 level 1 Raider backpacks one-for-one
>>544790662Just got jumped by 3 mans all 3 games
If I'm playing solo can I pick up downed players?
>>544790437do a free loadoutextracttrade your ugly crate into the medical store for any of the 3 augments
>>544790650100% was changed in the hot fix then, when I did the quest last night I spent an hour corpse running spaceport and jerking off into every crevace of the thrusters in the immediate vicinity of the assembly building to no avail
>>544790717Embark really needs to work on their onboarding of new players. Finals has the same problem on top of the main gamemode being really really obtuse. Imagine trying to explain why you should double the last cashout onto the winning team to a new player without their brains bluescreening.
>>544790764With the defib syringe gun thingy nyes
>>544790936The UI is definitely not greatI could not figure out how to upgrade my workbenches until a friend told meGrey text on a black background at the top of the screen is not a great way to handle that
>>544790764Yes, with defibs you can help up DBNO players if they're not on your squad. If they're corpses you cannot save them.
medium shields recycle into their rarest ingredient so as long as you keep bringing it back to base instead of repairing it you can just scrap it and build a new one for four batteries.
>>544788846did a free loadout run in buried city and yea I cleared out the turret after I noticed it, the central squre had leaper in it so not as bad as before, every other game I played it had a bombardier or bastionalso it's so good to see the drones getting ferro'd from another building by a dude you exchanged greetings with solo after you get swarmed
>>544776345they do in fact exist in dampro tip: go to the spot where nothing else is
I'll give someone two wolfpack grenades if they drop trade me ONE (1) rusted tools because I cba to find them rn
>>544792309>go to the spot where nothing else isOhio?
i went in with the anvil and a kettle. the guy with the torrente unloaded on me from a doorway and missed almost every shot
>>544785552>snowwe're back divisionbros
>>544793239The torrente sucks cock imoIt's retarded inaccurate unless you crouch, and even if you crouch its still inaccurate enough that you'll just end up trading with the guy you're trying to kill
You guys find mushrooms yet?
>>544794076I looted 4 of them off a guy my team killed, that count?
what do they mean by "an ability"?
>>544793684>>544785552I wish the weather were actually like that - we have rain but its not 'gusty'. I want to see sand blowing and snow blowing, I bet it'll just be light specks
>>544793239
>>544794390probably referring to dodge rolls or vaulting
>>544794318Kinda, what map was it?
>>544793983have you tried mods?
I just traded an osprey BP for 2 lemons
someone drop trade me rusted tools, I'll give you wolfgrenades and loot
>>544794961just 1? if you link a lobby I can give it to you
>>544794916No, but if it needs mods to be decent my point still stands.
>>544795409post your embark name and I'll invite you
What's the point of quests? Do you get anything out of them except for loot?
>>544795848they occasionally give you blueprints/skins
That goes for anything else here that's underlined, drop trade it to me and I'll give you high value loot in exchange >fruitmust be 3/3>Arc motorat least 2>fireball burnerat least 3>bioscannerforget that one ,I'll get it myself

>>544796565your client is outdated
I can't find any antiseptics, I've gone to the hospital on buried city multiple times now and there's nothing

exhibit proofmaybe it's me Ill restart too>>544796812I only really know good spots on the dam, but the corner medical room in the control tower upper floor has a lot of good medical shit
>>544796052can you somehow open this view outside of a round?
>>544797182do you mean to say in a round? This was opened on the front page
>>544797264no I know you can see that in a round in the map tab, what do you mean front page? play? that's what play looks for me, I have shit tracked
>>544796983I guess I'll go to dam instead
>>544797660I had to update my game, just reply when you're back out.
>When you don't bring back seeds
>>544798186I've got some seed for her alright
I found it, inventory -> logbooknow I dont need to click thru every crafting station to check what they have
>playing with 1 friend>we only go up against triosthis is fucking bullshit
>>544798848they really should have added duos matching too
>>544798848just get a retard, it's free
>>544798848
boy do I love getting into a raid late AND spawning on the opposite side of the map from where I need to go and find loot :)
>>544798848I have had pretty good experiences with random fillThe voice changer encourages shy people to talk, and since people have an incentive to keep their gear they don't randomly ape into impossible fights as much as they do in BRs
>Barricade a door>Place jolt mine a few steps beyond it>place triggernade same spot>they work their way in>get stunned in place>blow them up>knock them out
Some absolute madman was just fighting a Bastion (Leaper) at one of the extracts on Dam, but for some reason he left before he killed it, so I managed to finish it with my Ferro on my ownGot some pretty rare mats for that, so thanks random dude
>Bastion (Leaper)what did he mean by this
>>544800595That was the name in one of the play tests I think I like leaper more, imo.
>>544800474might have been me lol, i just emptied the treatment cam room and had some goodies on methrew a wolfpack at it that i looted but then the other guy that called the elevator shot me so i dipped asap after he did
>>544800021How quickly do the barricades deploy? Does it lock you in an animation?
>>544801472It was at the Testing Annex, but it would have been very funny if it had been you
>>544779289I get them frequently just sliming around buried city and blue reach (or whatever it's called). No need to go into the huge pvp areas, just explore rigorously and you'll get them
>>544801418It was bizon, and I like that name morebastion is the twin of the mortar guy that sticks a minigun up yours and pulls the trigger
>>544779289I got them out of the testing annex in the upstairs room that looks like its for surgery
noisemaker is fucking great. Use it if you are going to loot a building with few entrances

why this hit me?

>>544804476this is why I've stopped doing free loadoutsI just craft a cheap ferro and stitcher
>>544804028If you can see them, they can see you i guess.
not the best first impression...
>>544801610yes but you can cancel out of it quickly
>>544804920speak softly and carry a blicky
>>544772636Yes, it would make sense to be at a premium, so it doesn't make sense to be gifted a warehouse on day 1
