Roadmap 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 alivePrevious: >>544622774
>sneak up on a guy and kill him>"wtf duuuude i dont even have anything come onnn mannnn">punch his ass>he had like 100 thingsyeah fuck you bro
>Where did you find them?This island has a collection of trees in a middle with tons of them. I went back with a safe pocket and got em this time
I'm still scared as shit on any map other than the dam and now I have quests all over different maps. Even with free kits I have no idea where to be moving
>don’t want to team up>not a “friendly”>don’t care for the wholesome tag teamI want to SHOOT my FUCKING GUN and LOOT, so why am I the villain??
>some guy named Jake joins my friend and I's squad>We're just vibing, taking it easy while Jake runs off>who knows what hes doing, he's not communicating at all>he extracts almost immediately after looting one building>friend and I kill a couple players, loot them, pull some bot aggro because I needed some wasp things>Jake starts getting huffy in voice chat>he stayed to spectate us and is complaining about our lack of awareness>calling us noobs>just talking a lot of shit for some reason, we ask him why he's crying so much and he says "just mute me oh wait you don't know how">we extract and he's talking shit about our loot (lol)I don't get it, dude was just very nasty for no reason.
I was on the top floor of the hospital and I just saw like 4 random people team up down belowThis shit is hilarious
>find anvil>work very hard to repair it and kit it >take it on a mission>die to a camping sweat I guess I'll just do all of that again, thanks
what map can I farm burners on
>>544807874Just team up with me cause those little fucks are on my ass regardless of the map. I burn half my heavy ammo on them.

Why are all the perks vague? I hate that shit.Does anyone have any specifics on literally any of the skills in survival or conditioning?How much weight increase does broad shoulders give? How fast is the loot reveal from looters instincts? how fast does proficient pryer increase breaching?
>>544807940>Just team up with mesure post embark id/steam lobby linkyou can just wait for burners to approach you and then open up their juicy insides, then they die from 1 shot from anything
Really enjoying this as my first extraction game. Is Hunt any good? I've heard arc is very similar and the spooky gothic setting appeals to me
>>544807969I heard it was 2-3 lbs per
>>544808204Hunt is more of a glorified deathmatch elimination
How are you guys speccing your raider? Started putting points into survival for the crafting, just seemed to useful to pass on. But not sure where to go after getting the crafting upgrade. Fully delve into survival or branch out?
>>544808343I'm going with a jack of all trades approach. None of the deep perks seem all that worth it while all of the shallower ones seem like they'd be used every run.
>>544808343i'm trying to become a sneaky bastard
>>544808343these are the ones I want to go for
>>544806858Can you really blame him?
>>544808343im maxing out sound while looting/breaching and speedill probably go for stamina after that to be able to run bettert. lootrat but i avoid people
>>544808204The problem with Hunt is it's an extremely solved game, maybe even moreso than Tarkov
>>544807969I think someone put in a feedback report for them to show the values that increase similar to how weapon upgrades tell you - hopefully they listen to him
>>544808343Right side seems the most solid but the meta is probably gonna be maxxing out the Stamina upgrades first on the top line and then branching out. If the 'Equipped Weapon Encumbrance' perk lowers the movement speed penalty you when using a weapon the Condition Tree might be good too but otherwise it's not that great.
>>544808343I got the first level of field crafting and now I'm been trying to max out stamina, then I'll go back to the red tree and get the next level of field crafting
>>544808343I started going into stamina but I'm starting branch out into mobility and conditioning. Someone brought up a good point about stamina so marathon seems good to dump so skillpoints into
>>544807797Look at it this way, you had an anvil and died anyway. It didn't do shit for you, so who cares if you lost it
>>544807082Thank you brother
Pretty good retention rate hereI wonder if they'll hit 300k on Sunday
>Spaceport>Launch tower loot buff event>Go to launch tower>the ziplines are shuttered upwew
Nigh raids are absolutely retarded. Like every other time light level has ever been used in a pvp game, people just cheat with monitor settings
>>544811729The darkness is just flavor, the point is that there like 2x as many arc at night vs day
>>544811729
>>544811729It's something Embark didn't learn when they were DICE even back in BF1 with its night levels being a monitor brightness check.
How do I get radio renegade? That looks closest to the outfit I rocked in server slam.
>>544811729idk the nights are bright as fuck on most maps I haven't had any issues with them.
>>544808204Hunt is a a completely different game. It barely feels like an extraction shooter. Try Tarkov whenever 1.0 releases other than that there are no extractions shooters worth playing anymore. The extraction shooter that felt the most similar to this one was The Cycle: Frontier but that's been dead for a while.
shame it doesn't change the color of the pants stripe too. i wanna do full The Pain larp
>>544811850and yet there's more people shooting people
I'm only level 6, but most of my deaths come from Rocketeers who seem to always be around extraction points
So I didnt know only one person can go into the raider tunnel and I took my entire team out of the way, directly into the path of a leaper, bombadier, and several wasps, crawled into the tunnel and watched it close after me They just stood there staring at the closed hatch
>>544813806raider hatch? multiple people can use them, they close off pretty quick though like 30 secs or smth
>>544812953>Try Tarkov whenever 1.0 releasesYou should've just said>Pay for a game dominated by cheaters and no-lifers with 10,000 hours who will snipe you from halfway across the map before you even have a chance to figure out where on the map you are
>>544813895Well they didnt get in and it closed and I was forced into spectate as they just stood there, completely fucked with 3 minutes left
>>544813910>you even have a chance to figure out where on the map you areSpotted the loser who didn't play log enough to know where he spawns based on the ambient noises before he even opens his eyes
>>544813806>only one person can go into the raider tunnelYou mean the hatch?It stays open long enough for 3 people, maybe 4 if they're good, but closes after thatI got fucked by it last night, actuallyWe took a hatch and 2 of us got the achievement for abandoning a squadmate in the mapNext map we did it again, but wanted to let the third guy get the achievement so we paused at the hatchThey got out - I didn't
>>544813910tarkov 1.0 will be primo honestly with a new player influx but 3 wipes after that and it's mc'over.
Half don't want to ask this, but what happens when the game timer hits 0 and this so-called ARC orbiter is overhead?
>>544813563Offtopic but does anyone have the screencap of when that /r9k/ dumbass tried to roast one of his friend's babies like this on his actual facebook, failed, and got called a fucking creep by like hundreds of people? It's my 4chan holy grail. I know it exists but I cannot find it
>>544814290>game timer hits 0 and this so-called ARC orbiter is overhead?Pic relatedBut seriously, it's like a probe drop but largerA huge object comes in from off the map in the sky, rocket exhaust trailing it, and it hits with a huge white explosionScreen goes white then you get the "death tips" screen
i got the fruit for me cock bros
>>544814003why'd they wait so long before entering lol
>>544814939Good to know, thank you
How do I split items in stacks?
don't leave behind blue prints that you already learned, they're like 5K
>>544816813theres a fucking keybind on the screen you retard (alt+click)
whoever can bring me 3/3 one stack or both I'll give you high value loot in return
>in a peaking fight with a hallway between you>tagging nade>Throw tag>throw large smoke grenade>see them through the smoke
>>544817283>tfw 8 lemons but only 2 apricots
>>544817464>3/3 lemons>2/3 apricotsfor this stuff anon?
Do you feel you will fall behind if you don't play a lot? I'm off the game for the weekend so I be sweaty max level full inventory of purples. Hopefully lots of casuals to play with next week. Some people seem like real dickwads to new players especially when they queue as a duo with me being the 3rd fill.
>>544817449>>544817464>>544817619plus this
It's interesting that loose loot spawns I found a purple machine gun sitting on a desk in a treasure room
will trade people high value items if you have these stacks>3/3 lemons>3/3 apricots>4 hornet drivers>4 arc motion cores
>>544818221Nah
>murderhobo nigger tries to extract camp me>check steam profile>every single time it's a russoid/polack subhumanWhy are slav(e)s like this?
>>544818221Man this game makes you kill a lot of robots I joined a game and the dudes were like " we need to kill some robots" woahh
>>544818221We traded before, I have that shit, but Im already comfy in bed
>>544817687theres a reason its called tarkov for the employed
>>544818953Who calls is that? Who is ''they''?¿
>>544819136What do you mean ""they""? Nobody said they. There is no they. You should stop looking ibto it or talking about them, there is no they, you sound crazy
>>544818617A question humanity has been asking since time immemorial
anyone know by how much this
>>544819538only one way to find out huh (its worth it)
>>544819538it's like 2-3 lbs pretty solid to go for.
Whats good stuff to sell?Im a hoarder and I need to keep spam buying more stash space
>>544819913Most trinkets except the stuff you need for Scrappy upgrades are safe to sell. So don't sell the Pillows, Cat Bed, or Dog Collar until you upgrade him but otherwise everything else you can sell.
Why can't I p2w a bigger ass pocket like my other extraction games
At what durability should i repair my weapons? The game is not clear about this at all
>>544818617Because they are a mutt race that has had their bloodline raped by both the Huns and Mongols so hard that they barely even human at this point.
>>544820193I would imagine aim for 100 but 75% is probably passable
>>544819913get max seeds, just as much seeds as you cansell p much anything that can be bought wit hseeds
>>5448195382kgs per pts
>>544820193Your gun either works or it doesn'tWhen you click repair it shows you how much it will repair by. Not rocket science.
>>544820193if it breaks mid game you won't be able to use it, so be wary.
>>544820470But it consumes the same amount of resources either way and I want to optimize. It doesnt reduce damage or anything if its less durable?
>>544819136esl go neck yourself
>>544820614Nope it's totally binary
>>544820654It's called phone posting Pedro.
>>544820680Ok cool cool. Good to know I've been leaving perfectly good weapons behind for no reason
>>544820809phone posting Pedro go neck yourself
Theres no reason to do anything other than free loadouts in solo.The combat in this game literally requires a group. ur just wasting supplies trying to do anything but be a loot goblin solo
>>544820981Yes you can do that my friend. En hablo espanol?
>>544821930I think you're just bad at videos games, Anon
What are the best poorfag weapons?
>>544822250Stitcher + Ferro best combo early game. Later replace Ferro with Anvil when you can afford it.
>dirty players ambush from the roof by camping a bridge/walkway Dirty little guys
rare
I feel like the resource requirements for higher tiers of equipment outweigh the extra functionality. Healing items for example that heal ~2x the amount will cost ~3.5 - 4 times the resources. I get that you're saving some space that way too, but it just stops feeling worth it.
>>544823334At some point you should have so much money and gear that it won't matter
using resources is for fagsthis post was made by the free loadout gang
Feel like the game is missing a marketplace but I think loot would require a rework to sell to other people.
>>544823334The only higher tier items I've found to be worth it are guns and shields
>>544823334There's also the augment kits, they can passively heal you while you aren't taking damage.
How's the grappling hook? I saw some dude with an orange grappler hook
>>544822250ferro by far, pair with a weapon follow up after you crack their shield, stitcher or imo the better kettle
>tfw 4 man solo teamup>one girl randomly (accidentally) jumps
Don't go to the Blue Gate unless you want to be a plapped lala
>>544817464Where do you get lemons? Apricots are plenty on the island in the east of dam, got 4 of them by just scooting by, could've gotten more probably if I looked around
>>544825653best strat for blue gate is go afk for 15 minutes until spawns stop and it isn't normandy beach
Rocket botsg are too strnonk
the ui is wearing me down bros. it's so bad
>>544825002wtf, i want that
>>544823138i dont doubt it. i usually cant even see where the fuck its landing
>>544827272nah I just positioned myself underneath it - it lands where the flair pops. actually did it twice that round
Man this game would be even cooler if I had fucking anyone to play with
>>544827616You can post steam lobby invite links here if you want to play with anons. Just gotta post the region as well
surprisingly cheap to make the upgraded silencer. just gotta farm some sentinel cores to actually get my bench high enough
>go into raid with some shit i upgraded to collect certain stuff>get shot by player>arex0024 errorfantastic game
MY INVENTORY IS FULL
>>544829146is 208 the max
>>544829757i'm up to 232 with no sign of stopping
Deluxe edition chads, what did we spend our coins on?
>>544830531that outfit with the airforce helmet and RE4 jacket is the only correct choice
>>544830531I went with bog walker because I like the skinThe pilot skin look really cool too if you're on the fence
>>544830531I'm going to wait because there's some outfits in earlier trailers that looked more like soldier gear instead of Star Wars LARP I'm hoping will come later.
>>544830603>>544830641>>544831007No one wanted to Allah Akbar?
>>544831007I got a 1400 outfit and am saving up the remaining 1k, hopefully by the time another cool outfits comes out I'll have gotten 400 more from battlepasses
>>544831342I did rock this without the hat in TT2 but I want something drippier. Plus the black Pilot Suit outfit from the Deluxe edition is already drippy enough for now.
Finally killed a surveyor. Fucker kept going outside to the edge of the map and I had to wait ages
I just want to run this but with a non-bright color. Looks like it's quite far down the line for orange/black
>>544832563This shit is just mean
>playing with shitter friend>takes 10 years to loot>total tunnel vision, no surroundings awareness>doesn't listen when you tell there's danger nearby>dies every single fight without hitting a shot>have to waste all my meds on him every raidI know I'm an asshole for getting annoyed by this but there's only so much I can put up with, I have to raid solo while offline on steam...
used my first key, not a bad haul
>>544835138I wasn't going to at first until he stepped into the jolt mine. In all fairness, with a barricade in your way and taking it down is just walking into trouble.
Why do I find amazing loot on my free kit runs?
>>544835984That's a sign from the game telling you to stop free-kiting.
>go with free kit to get some lemons or whatever>this shit happensI probably wouldn't have noticed him if he didn't shoot me like a retard because i heard another guy in the building scavenging stuff.
>found a grappling hook during the quest that gives you a grappling hook>found the anvil bp a round beforelife is good
>>544837872Blasted....
>gave away all my lemons to a random stranger as a peace offering>Marano park decides to bless me with 3 apricots and only one lemon
this game is incredibly stressful, I can't play it for more than a few hours at a time
>Doing The Firstfoot Hold quest>Running freebie because Blue Gate has been a bloodbath last times I went in with friends.>4 people are running around looking for the same thing in Olive Grove.>Can't find it, another guy working on another quest walks over and then guides us to it because he did it already.>We stand in line to interact with the fucking terminal.Solos are truly a different game compared to Trios
I hope they make a backpack that has special slots to hold ammo, tired of it being in my inventory
>>544840465Trios is where everyone gets the good gear out and get sweaty.Solos is mostly people who wanna get by. Some people will jump you from time to time because its the game, but unless you're against literal children or third worlders without a mic, they'll coop with you if you ask nicely.
I want a backpack that allows me to heal and revive strangers for the low low cost of -1 or no weapon slot.
>>544840709I hope they add mods for Augments really desu, would help diversify builds and also add more progression to get giga end game gear.
>want to get out my good gear>don't actually want to kill other people>don't want to lose my good gear because i got jumped by people who wanna fightRat raiding bros ...
>hear gunfights at extract>go there and wait for whoever was left to leave>4 bodies full of lootRat bros, we're eating good.
We should be able to upgrade our free loadouts.I want to be a free loadout warlord
>>544843524could be a fun prestige/expedition reward. remove/add items to your free loadout pool
>>544843524The concept of the rat is going from zero to hero anon. What you're asking for doesn't make any sense.
what's this niggas problem
This is easily one of the most immersive games of all time. Playing this game solo is a total sensory experience, it's a real accomplishment. I haven't been this 'in' a game in years, and I play stupid survival crafters with full loot drops, so I already know what 'tension' is. AR is something else entirely, it's a real fucking adventure every time, scrounging for items, crafting extra meds, running out of ammo and having to sneak around for real in a robot dense (blue wall) nightmare. Trios are faggot shit where you just blast everything and turtle up in a loot room, but solo is magical anything goes insanity. Sure you're probably not going to kill a bastion on your own, but that's fine.
>>544843524>We should be able to upgrade our free loadouts.That's what a CUSTOM LOADOUT is for. Gosh.
I'm not killing people (solo) as long as they answer me (voice/emotes) and doesn't seem sketchy. The niggers who don't answer always try to kill you even if they pretend to be chill.>>544843989Anger issues
>>544844000What if ive been playing for 5 years and I ran out of stuff?I go back to a day 1 free loadout kit?let me free loadout with tier 2 guns atleast
>>544844128You go around and scavenge, retard anon. Wtf is wrong with you
>>544844128a free kit isn't mean to compete with custom kits you goofyou can also loot 30k worth of bullshit with a free kit and then extract and just literally buy a t2 gun and kit with 10 minutes of work
>Put jolt mine of extract terminal>Kill playerhard game you guys got here...
>spawn near random outpost in the middle of nowhere that I remember had consistently had good loot in the tech test>open first container>anvilwe're so back
>stick someone with a sticky grenade>it's not an ohkolame
>>544844128Free Kit isn't meant to be a PvP kit or to grief other players. It's suppose to recover some resources and run a big custom kit again
has anyone used the shotgun(s) in the game yet? are they good or just complete utter dogshit
>>544843524Theres going to be unlockable free kit tiers that have limited daily uses
>>544846292good
>>544846292They can two shot pretty consistently if you're close range they're very good.
>>544846591>>544846770NTA but i guess i'll take the purple shotgun i've found in some locker and give it a go on unsuspecting players.
>>544846292>>544847263If you're in range to use the stitcher, a shotgun will just two-tap. Else it really sucks.
So far from what I gathered is, you want a PvE weapon (it can work for PvP) and then a complimenting gun specifically for PvP confrontations.I've been doing Ferro into Kettle a lot lately because it's sick as fuck.
I played tarkov for 3000 hours and absolutely hate it. Will i like this one?
>>544847992There's less head eyes and only a single scoped weapon in the game if that helps
>>544847992Why do you hate tarkov? ARC Raiders is extremely casual and it's just clowny extraction pvp
>>544847992yes
>>544847992I don't play extraction games and I like this, so I genuinely don't know what that means to you
im seeing people say >"check your mail"in game for the server slam backpack reward but i still dont have it
>>544848934I also didn't get it oddly.
>get in raid with gear to actually try to lose it>get even more gearI don't have enough space for this shit bro' help
>be me>rolling with a squad on Dams night raid>drop in on the second wave, not much time left>kill some ARCs, get some half decent loot but don't run into anyone>last 5 minutes we make our way to extraction>"just because we don't see anyone, doesn't mean we're the last ones" >I wasn't wrong, some other team rolls up while we hit the power plant elevator>I get on the horn and tell them we have 3 minutes. No time to fight let alone loot the losing team>murder hobos push us at the shack while hornets and rockets barrage us>I get a knock, buddy gets a knock, but their last guy shotguns me when I tried to heal>our last guy couldn't win his one>30 seconds left I VOIP again>"you idiot. you can't even extract">get knocked outI don't know why that bothers me so much. Most people have been reasonable (NA).
This ithings is so fucking good upgraded to 4
So I'm not supposed to aim for the center of the little flying bots?
>>544849793If you're using a high powered heavy rifle, you can just fire into the center and instantly kill it with 3 shots
Having twitch on my second monitor for the new twitch drops and seeing some top streamers dumping entire rounds at the front armoured thrusters of the Hornets is pretty painful
>>544849793No. You are supposed to shoot out the engines.The all white gun drones shoot out 2 engines and it crashes.The armored front stunning drone try to get an angle and shoot out its back engines.With anything but a ferro, shooting center of the drone will feel like a waste of time.
>get killed at extract with my rat gear as i'm getting fucked by hornets>its a weeb faggot playing a girlof course
It's 280..............
>suddenly getting games full of KOS niggersWhat time zone is playing now ? I'm in EU but i guess not many people playing at 6 am
>hey raider go to [extremely vague place that you WILL just google after (or before) searching for it for 10 minutes]It's like I'm really playing Tarkov!
Has anyone used the Arpeggio? Is it good?
>>544851226ACK I AM BEING PVP'D IN A PVP GAME
I shoot every single person on sight.
>>544851337>>544851412Brown
My femlala shoots second and wins every fight
look if you pipe up on mic I don't mind letting you live, but I will shoot your ass at extract if I don't have anything
>>544851429only browns claim other people are brown
>>544851582Cope rajeesh
>>544851487why are you at extract if you don't have anything
>>544851703I heard the free loot alarm
>>544851772understandable
If you walk towards me with your gun out, it's ON SIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whats with the random fucking "heros" who come save a downed person then 2v1 you with them.Thats fucking retarded who are you to randomly pick sides. Illogical. Boring.
my favorite is when someone opens on me, loses their advantage, then begs for "dont shoot!" while hiding
>>544853178No point in picking your side because you're more than probably hostile. Retard.
>get killed>character has black skinOh yeah, i'm saying it.
>>544853178Have never experienced this Sounds kinda funny, but also gay
I actually haven't been inside there yet, is the loot good?
>>544853401Say it.
>>544853178If I'm being attacked and run into a third person and he doesn't shoot me and I don't shoot him, I just assume we'll team if the other guy continues.Just how it goes
>>544853572Ugly gorilla nigger

>>544843993>Playing this game solo is a total sensory experience, it's a real accomplishment.>I haven't been this 'in' a game in yearsIf Embark is still employing the previous guy who handled their audio SFX when they were the actual DICE team, I'd assume they were responsible. I remember the audio and SFX in BF1 was crisp and immersive as fuck.
It seems weird to me that "The level destruction guys" didn't have terrain destruction in this game. Maybe it's just too much shit for the engine to handle all at once, or too much work?Imagine how even more amazing this should would be if we had The Finals destruction in it.
does the AI voice changer feature work with other languages?
>>544854005it just changes the tone and pitch of the output, so yeah
Trigger nades are borderline op, I bring 3 in every raid.

>>544854265impact grenades are amazing for hitting people around cover, you should bring some next time anon
>>544854265God forbid a man has hobbies
>>544854265impact nades are very funny
>>544854436???I like the voice changer feature because its more immersive, I hate squeakers raging on mic
>>544854106My go to is>"Hey just letting you know I'm behind you no agro"80% of people will be appreciate you announcing you had the upper hand and be fine with you, just execute the ones that don't, even a duo was chill with me in a facility after that
>>544854632It's funnier to say something scary or lick your mic

>see a 3 man squad call elevator>they split up to hide >one guy doesn't notice I'm right behind him>watch as he pulls rocketeer aggro and goes down>his teammates run into the elevator>I run past the downed guy and get into the elevator too>I guess they weren't really communicating because they didn't seem to notice I was there>thought maybe they were friendly but they tried to kill me right as the doors were closing so they didn't kill me in timeheh
how are people speccing out their skill tree? Is there a max number of skill points you can get? I know the technical test only let you reach level 15.
>>544855474It was a bunch of randoms who teamed up anon
someone come try this with me on dam tower, I don't know if the windows are like this but can trywe only have so much time before they hotfix this
>tarkov streamers getting their asses handed to them because they cannot instant one shot anyone in a single atosecond from any rangeFeels good man
>>544855720I need two people to come with me so we can try this out
>>544855589I watched one revive the other before they called extraction
>>544855935Perhaps he had a revive item
>>544855724the amount of youtubers and streamers thinking they can oneshot everything getting cucked by the rocketeers has been pretty funny see

>try to test out new gun>die instantly before ever getting to fire it onceI just wanted to know if the Arpeggio was any good...

>>544856037there is a shooting range bwo....
>>544855991I tried it, feels good to move around but I had to switch back for better aim
>>544856037It's good if you like burst fire. Also, like the other anon said, there's a shooting range.
>>544855720looking for two others to help try this out
I dont have the game yet, i'm still on the fence.How many times have you anons succesfully extracted solo vs just dying? Are the deaths fair?
>>544857313>Are the deaths fair?Eh. You can totally be ambushed and there's nothing you can do about it if you were just standing there.>How many times have you anons succesfully extracted solo vs just dying?I have a very positive KDA but I also just know how to push and how to retreat and also how to fire while minimizing damage to myself.
>>544855991Ex-console user that owns a dozen consoles but now plays mostly on a 5k PC with duel OLED screens but still sticks to controller on PC guy here.Controller feels a little like an after thought in this game. There's no way to remap buttons which is a notable disadvantage mostly because Slide/Roll is stuck on B button and Inventory is stuck on Select. Which means you're always moving your finger away from the sticks for 2 of the most commonly pressed actions in the game. They should have been on Right Stick press and the DPad. They're not which means there's always going to be a delay compared to keyboard users. You can make up for it if you have a controller with mappable back buttons, but you shouldn't have to be forced into that work around. Navigating the inventory is also more clunkier compared to Mouse. Aim assist is decent enough. It's not CoD/Halo levels but it's a slower paced game so it can be manageable after some tweaking in the settings.Embark doesn't have the greatest rep when it comes to controller. They gutted it in The Finals shortly after launch which crashed and burned the console population. Considering this kind of game needs to maintain a healthy player pop it's wait and see if they can improve some of the controller shortcomings.
>>544857313>>544857845Multiple times now I've been carefully checking an area before crossing, eventually deciding to go, and the very first fucking bush I run directly at has a fag sitting in it who machine guns me down.The number of players active in a match at any time feels extremely high, because encounters are very frequent.
>>544857313I have a bunch of hours in Hunt, but I'd say it's very easy to dip your toes while soloing because of how fast you can fill up an inventory with loot (especially on a free raider). It's almost a double edged sword because it's easy to fill up your pack before you even do anything interesting. One nice thing about soloing is that (at least right now) you'll have a good percentage of friendly encounters with other solos if you just voip or spam the "don't shoot" emote. That said, you can definitely die very fast if you're caught unawares, especially if you're new to the genre.
>>544855991I use an Xbox controller on my pc. I know I'm probably at a disadvantage but it feels good
Can you not reset your skill tree??????I fucked up
>>544807575Sounds like a console kid playing via crossplay that didn't know how to leave the game early / stop spectating
reminder to turn off shadows, set audio to night mode, and set foliage to low
>>544857313>How many times have you anons succesfully extracted solo vs just dying? Are the deaths fair?Depending where you live as long as you play during casual hours when all the kids and dads are online solo can be fun when the lobby is filled with noobs. People are more friendly or at least not as threatening. Playing solo during neet hours is like a hidden extra difficulty.
>>544857313(at least for now) it seems like 80% of players are willing to peace treaty
Hornets and Wasps should be able to follow you inside more easily. At most they peek their head inside a door and then fuck off. I want them to follow you down hallways and if you shut a door on them they go find a window to follow you through
>>544858268if you're playing long term, youll be prestige'ing.
>snitch scanners just spawn 2 wasps wherever you throw themholy based, time to farm snitches
>>544857313Solo is unironically the best experience because of spontaneous alliances and co-op moments
>>544858858If you stick someone the wasps immediately start shooting someone
>>544857313>How many times have you anons succesfully extracted solo vs just dying?More successful than not, and I've never had a happy wholesome friendly elevator ride out. Usually I'll call the elevator, wait a moment nearby to size up any gank attempts, kill any obvious lurkers nearby, and then just smoke grenade a terminal inside the escape elevator to ride home successfully. You can also keep using the escape terminal while taking damage from grenades, etc, in the smoke, so at high health/shields, you can just plow through blindfire attacks unless they're physically in the escape bunker with you gunning at you from the one interior angle that isn't shielded on the kiosks>Are the deaths fairMore than most in the genre, but the TTK while "long" is still relatively fast if you let people maul you with a rifle headshots or close range shotgun assaults. You'll survive initial ambush attacks and have enough time to respond before the deathblow if you're quick witted. Try to burn the idea of fairness here out of your brain a bit though since everyone in this genre fights like an underhanded faggot and you should be doing the same by ambushing, using traps, third partying when they're fighting other players/ARCs, etc. Doing this also helps you much better understand risk and the likelihood of being ambushed when and where
>>544858268I knew once I saw there's a skill to craft items within a match that I fucked up not taking that path
>>544858635>set audio to night modedoes this do anything just turning your volume up wouldn't
Anybody found a reliable source for medium gun parts or know where a BP for them may spawn? Up to my eyeballs in heavy gun parts, even found 2 bps to craft them but not a single medium
>>544857313This game has infinite free loadoutsI'm level 18 and i've only done a couple runs with my own loot to get some quests donethis alone makes things less frustrating
>>544859267Seed lady sells them, they are on a timed rotation, make sure to always buy those
>Are you sure this will make us money?
>the nigga who just killed you
>>544857313Early game solo can be a brutal. Every single robot enemy can knock you down to half health in seconds and heals can be hard to come by. Starting weapons don't have much ammo without upgrades. Unless you land perfect headshots or weak spot shots, both players and robots can sponge a full mag from every starter weapon so your spending valuable time reloading a slow ass weapon to finish off someone which is plenty of time for a surprise 3rd party to fuck you over from either player or ai.
>>544859619the turban gives you +10 charisma whenever you encounter a player
>>544822250A level 2 or 3 rattler can kill 2 wasps without reloading and bust up the plating on a hornet if your aim is good and will put the hurt on raiders

>>544859639I would love for the devs to release statistics on the % of friendly encounters per region

>Randomly get sniped, duck into cover and heal>Turn and kill them>Loot body>It's another free kit ferroniggerI'm getting fucking sick of this shit. At least let me turn their free kit augment into meds or something so fighting them isn't a complete waste.
Is there any strategy to choosing maps cus ive just been picking random ones I feel like doing
>>544860782Free kit mod can be converted 1 to 1 for mk1 looter or combat mod at the medic vendorAnd a ferro is always a good backup gun when upgraded a couple timed, also can just sell or scrap em
>>544825250thats funny
>>544830416Just seen on r*ddit the cap is 280
>>544860782yeah I'm also getting real tired of uppity free loadouts playing this like it's call of duty since they've got nothing to lose
Hearing the salt over proximity chat while you knock them out is great.
>>544859516This is why I love the craft while in a match perk, losing items you crafted while in a match doesn't feel bad at all and if you extract win win
I'm not a big fan of everyone trying to be friendly chungus, don't make me feel bad for shooting you
I love ratting

>>544864334FARMGOD
fuck I'm kinda bored nowmaybe im not cut out for this genre
>>544857998I mean sometimes your ticket is just punched. That's by design. I prefer to spend little time in wide open areas and usually spend matches creeping and crawling through the urban zones. Looting and running are very loud without talents and most people spend all their time sprinting around. You can very easily get the drop on people by just walking/crouching around.
I like the burletta better than the anvil, personally
>got random steam achievement of getting 10 'thank you'swtf? How do you thank people? Also I didn't even run into anyone
>>544864652just a ferro makes you pretty vulnerable to other raiders though
I asked a guy hiding near extraction twice if he was friendly and he didn't respond, I left without him as he was running from bots. He got mad and yelled at me, lol. I was even going to give him the dupe blueprint I had (it's for a Bettina if you guys wanna trade for another blueprint)
>>544865442Weird desu my guy, feels like a peashooter to me.
>>544865791Oh shit apparently Bettina is a purple gun, I lucked out getting two blueprints at once lol, I also had a toro blueprint at the time
>>544865791I have a venator blueprint, wanna trade?
>played ~5 solo matches last night>encountered 2-6 players per match and they're literally all friendlyIt's turning me loud as hell as a solo. Fuck creeping and crouching around. Breaching in the open with my dick out, giving a marco polo hello whenever I think someone's around, shooting arc on sight. If someone gives silent kid school shooter vibes I'll be hostile but so far they mostly run, put their gun away, or help.>saw a leaper on a quick loot run>fuck it, my new objective is to kill that thing>waste all my ammo and grenades until it's a fireball somehow still walking>suddenly 1 guy shows up, then 3>when it dies we're a pack of 7 now rolling across the map killing every arc we see>until a rocketeer fucks us all upIt was the best pve experience I've had in years and it's entirely because this is a pvp game. Meeting accidentally and choosing not to shoot is something special. The devs tuned arc just right and incentivized the option enough. It's hilarious every time I make a buddy, lose him for a sec, bump into a random I mistake for my buddy, and we just strike up conversation about lemons or whatever. This game's amazing if you ever liked how extraction shooters weren't pvp mandatory. Nothing against murderhobos, that's the other side of the coin and totally fair, but if you bring defibs and use voip you can be the god of the solo playground.>>544865549I've seen if someone drops something for you you get a prompt. Probably bugged.
>>544822250rattler is shitferro good for opening and long-range pvp, okay for arcs but kind overkill and announces to everyone where you arestitcher great pvp, shit pve ammo voidhairpin actually really good for pve, shut for pvp, but you can hide around and troll peoplekettle good pve and pvp, imo the most all-round good commonfor arcs I am talking up to hornets, only ferro can go higher (you can solo rocketeer with it)
>>544866621I'm honestly surprised solo turned out far and beyond my favorite way to play the game, everything is so much more dynamic which is really not what you'd typically have expected
>>544865442I like both
>>544806617Barely functional game. Another L for zoomers
Playing this game with randoms is literally the worst experience I've had in years>run ahead and hoover up all the loot>never help with ARC>fumble every pvp engagementHow the fuck do you guys play this dogshit?
I just ran into a guy opening one of those key rooms on Spaceport and he was really rude, telling me to go away instead of sharing the lootI would have killed him if I didn't have a bunch of quest items on me, but I went in there again after he left and he missed the most important item in there the tard
>>544866968yo give me that
>>544867015not, it's mine until I inevitably die with itit's really fun to use though
>>544854265looks like he left an impact on you

>>544867223solo (is solo for everyone and) is basically pve. i havent been shot by another player in like 10 runs
reminder that this is a pvp game and I can shoot you all I want
>>544868010its not an anything game, there are no rules, you can be as much or as little of a nigger as you wantjust like real life, everyone hopes there aren't any niggers where they are going, but unfortunately usually here are at least a couple
>>544868461pvp is an intended part of the game you turbo faggot
>>544868528Not really, you just came up with that yourself. There is nothing in the game that forces you to kill other players, there is no progression system tied to it.It turns out that you just assumed because there were no rules, that you can and should murder (because you are a nigger).
>>544868010>>544868528yeah, and good lucking killing anyone when everyone else in the lobby has duod or triod up with randomssolo KoS nigs are going to get bullied out of this game
>>544868641you get experience for doing it>>544868681I just came from a solo raid where I killed 5 people man I can manage then killed the bastion
>>544868939sure thing, big boy
TO THE WINSTON WOLF LOOKING TUXEDO NIGGA WHO ENTERED THE HARVESTER RIGHT BEFORE A FIRE SEQUENCE AND HAD HIS DOOR STAY SHUT BEHIND HIM AS IT STARTEDI thank youThe shitty freebie stitcher I took off your body replaced the shitty freebie kettle I was using to hit the buttons, and it let me finish the fucking minigame before going insane. Now the first blueprints I have ever found are somehow the super special epic ones. I will remember you in one hundred hours when I finally craft either of theseIn retrospect I should have actually looted more instead of just taking the BPs and running like a bitch, but shit was hot nearby and there was a crazy fuck on top of the harvester plinking at the Queen for some reason
>>544869158good stuff, I've never dared to go near that thing
>>544869269I went in with 3 wolfpack nades hoping that might take out the queenBarely scratched it, went in the harvester, died to fire
>>544869461sounds like a swell time

>>544871720there are many free loadout faggots who are hoping to get lucky, to kill someone with actual gearthey're really annoying
>>544871720Because people are stupid scared animals
This game is literal ass, another sweaty extraction shooter that could have been a fun game destroyed by turbovirgins minmaxing since day 0, its even worse on EU since most of the people you meet are subhuman russians, autistic germans/nordics or stuck-up french
Is this game LGBTQIA+ friendly?
>>544871394Get in while it's hot
>>544873146Skill issue this games casual as fuck
I wish I had separate stashes so I could separate freekit loot and good shit to upgrade without feeling bad
>>544873146so you attack people, get your shit pushed in, and complain about others being better than you?because I'm on EU and almost no one is hostile, it's kinda amazing in a wayI got attacked twice in last 15 raids(and I met someone pretty much every raid), died once, and I just got my gear back from that because that apparently was a cheater or something
>>544873146EU is always worse for this
Anyone know the spot to farm rusted tools for gunsmith upgrade? I know that for cracked bioscanners for medical lab it's testing annex, and for toasters for refiner it's the apartment buildings in the north, both on dam battlegrounds. No idea if there's a spot for power cables for gear bench.
544873146gr8 b8 m8it's not even a sweaty game
>>544875108Rusted tools spawn all the time inside buses. They have a back breach slot and a a container on the side at the bottom

where moni I get fuckall trinkets
>>544876653Buried city gets me a lot, or night missions in any maps red zones.
wtf everyone is KOS now that its the weekend... these goblins...im 3/3 on surviving and killing now
I like being KOS (outside extraction zones kek) primarily because I play slow and sneaky, which means I'm constantly getting the drop on people. If I'm walking or crouching through the street or buildings and I hear you, it makes less sense to let you know I'm there than to just kill you. If I hear you in a building, it means you've probably already looted everything there, which means less loot for me. If I kill you, I get your shit. Simple calculus 2bqh
>>544877918why would i throw my trash in the garbage can when its out of my way
So what even is ARC?
>>544878240Hunt showdown but good
>>544878240rich jews left earth behind because earth suckednow the rich jews are sending roboniggers to kill humans so they can come back home and build resorts or like really big parking lots for their space lambosthe robots are called ARC I guess
>>544878378I could see this happening IRL
Maybe I should have pulled that trigger.
>>544878157Because the trash can pulls out a gun and shoots at you when you litter
>>544877918or you can just go to the next buildingthe main reason most people don't pvp in ARC is that there is genuinely 10x more good loot than you can carry out of the map
>>544878468you should have filled up his plump bussy
Freekit shouldnt be able to wear cosmetics. Freekit should be obvious at a glance so you know you cant trust them.
>>544878573Plus we start shooting and either get third-partied by another player or ARC
>>544878573There's 10x more BAD loot that'll clog up your shit than you can carry out. The good loot will be concentrated in the hands of players.

>>544878754das rayciss
CANT STOP FUCKING HOARDING EVERYTHING
>>544878759That's part of the fun. Fights that get third partied get hectic quick. TTK being generous means you've often got time to react and play the game, make quick decisions under pressure, etc. My favorite fights have been pushing and getting pushed with third parties and ARC showing up. It's incredibly fun to be involved in a firefight and to have ARC show up like the cops. Everyone scatters into cover. One time we both worked together to kill the ARC and then turned back to hunting each other through the old town on blue reach. Some of the most fun I've ever had in an FPS.

LET ME PURCHASE RAIDER TOKENS
Anvil is broken OP and anti-fun. They need to quickly nerf it before people get married to it. Change my mind.
I have never once encountered a single hostile player on Blue Gate, nor even seen a flare that wasn't obviously from a ARC down.
>get hit by ferro from dude camping in a bush>lose the fight immediatelyCool mechanic
What are the yellow/white flares I see occasionally?
>>544879490n o o b
>>544879446wdhmbt? or is the store down or something
>>544879575Supply drops. You can call them in from little radio towers.
So let me get this straight? You gotta shoot drones and generally piss off ARC to get them to drop probes, right?
>level 25>still only using free loadouts
>>544880413ye
Kinda wishing you could use materials to craft cosmetics or put them towards just generally something else because I'm realizing I'm not actually using any of it as a free kit user
I struck gold, I've found an Anvil blueprint
>>544880041wat. I dont have that
Where the fuck can you even reliable find blueprints?is it really that random?
>>544881521nigger use some critical thinking

>>544881650yea pretty solid
>>544881660post race
Noticing most people have a gentlemen's agreement to not shoot each other at extract
>>544882074Noticing I'm getting a lot less shot on sight if I'm just spamming "Don't shoot" every 10 seconds.
a guy just rolled all my shotgun blasts like i was a darksouls boss
>>544881535Raider caches are a decent source (those little buried boxes that make a ticking and whirring sound when nearby) so watch for increased raider cache modifiers. I heard surveillance drones (those big rollers that shoot blue lights in the sky and run away from you) drop them but haven't killed one myself. Key rooms often have 1 too but that's less reliable.
>>544881975it turns out you need steam overlay on to see the currency in the store. Thank you so much for your help you useless cunt
>>544828081where the FUCK Can I get the bp
>>544882074There is no point in most circumstances. If you want to extract you typically either have some quest item you want to get out badly, or a backpack full of loot. Why would you take a chance at getting a bit better loot but risk losing all your stuff?I do think this will inevitably change when people no longer really have need for loot and just want to "pvp" (i.e. camp extract)
>>544882282unfortunately everytime ive come across a raider cache some dickhead was camping it out
>spawn in >put marker on extract >beeline for it while looting some random crap on the way>almost full backpack everytime>never see another playerkek

poorfag here, any bros wanna get me the game?
>>544884643is this supposed to be some kind of trick? what's the point in rolling like a spastic when the other guy is just lighting you up while you're stuck in an animation?
>>544887028most people are bad dingus
found a rock in a bush. never seen a rock so i shoved it up my ass. now i have to kill someone with the rock

Considering buying this but I have no one to play with and I feel like playing with randoms isn't fun, what's the move.
>>544884643Anvil seems kinda busted. Maybe it's worse with medium or heavy shields but i kinda doubt it
>>544890072play solo
>>544890170i was 3 hit with a heavy shield
i didnt get shot for like 15 runs in a row, and ive been hunted like an animal for the like 6-7??? even by duos/trios in SOLO.... what the FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK is going oni actually lost so many loot and kits. i will now play free loadouts
The fuck is this. A rocketeer just aggroed me from like 200m. And no I wasn't tagged by another bot.
Anyone managed to take down a leaper yet? I put 3 sticky nades on one and it was barely damaged
yep, kino quests are starting to appear
whats the max stash expansion?
>>544891138I grouped up with two other guys impromptu in solo queue and we managed to kill the one that patrols around the elevator on dam by swapping aggro and kiting it around one of the nearby buildings. They're actually kinda trivial with three people as long as you stay near enough that it doesn't leap but far enough that you don't get zapped. Aim for the legs.
The loot taking 8 years to load in has to change that shit is insane
>>544891263i've got the one to kill the rocketeer and one to kill the leaper. every time i gear up to bring them down some dickhead immediately shoots me in the back rip
>>544891602I think it's well balanced. If you want it to go quicker for now safety, you have to heavily invest in the looter side of the skill tree and give up the combat side. It's designed for a slower stealthy style which will give you the drop on the combat zoomer guys.
>>544891138I fought one at the water processing elevator. There's a bunch of metal dumpsters near there that you can squeeze inbetween and it seems its AI can't deal with you running around those tight spaces.I didn't try to kill it because I was on a free loadout but I easily survived waiting for the elevator by juking it between those containers. Didn't get hit once.
>>544890482>>544890482THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT. WHAT THE FUCK GAME AM I PLAYING ALL OF A SUDDEN?THIS WAS SOLO.
you only beat the game when your 280 (or whatever max slots is) is just filled up with nothing but your kits
>>544891804im ready
kino
>>544893260it's a beautiful game
Bombardiers and Leapers are free loot if you have a squad and you all bring snapblasts, but rocketeers dodge and weave like crazy so sticking em is nearly impossible- you pretty much have to bring 2 wolfpacks to down them. Which isn't cost effective.Any arc murder enjoyers found a decent strategy for them that isn't "plink with ferro for 5 minutes straight"?
>>544893368and im not even playing on highest settings. but draw distance is maxed out
>>544892379im sorry im losing my mind. please why are my games deathmatch now?no one else?is there MMR?
>>544893483Showstoppers stun Rocketeers and bring them down to the groundJust spam showstoppers and it'll never fly again
>>544893714Its just random. Some rounds are chill and other times, people will just shoot you even if there's a lot of arc around that will fuck em up.
>>544893260Why are you a girl
>>544893714some people just sweep the edges at round start to pvp. if they all end up in the same lobby it's normandy beach because it keeps refilling the lobby until the last 15 minutes
>>544893959Why would I want to stare at a mans ass all day? :))
>>544893483how many snapblasts for a bombardier? 3 each? hit their legs or but?and naw, my group just downed one with ferro... and anvil and rattler. it wasnt THAT bad, but it was at the village on blue gate which makes it easy
>>544894314its western dev ass tho, might as well look at a dude
>Want to hunt arc on blue gate>Never ends up being worth because there are 400 free kit retards draining your meds by taking ferro potshots at anyone who movesFucking annoying. I know free kits are a concession for casuals, but it's genuinely hard to be poor in this game. There's decent loot in every crevice. I wish some maps were custom loadout only.
>>544894367My squad either brought 3x snapblast each and a few impact nades, or 2x each if somebody has a Wolfpack.Idk if it matters where you stick them, we usually just hit the hull. I think if you hit it from behind it might do more
I'm sure this has been asked 400 fucking times but is this game more enjoyable than Tarkov? Do you see it having any staying power/longevity?
>>544895043Depends on why you like Tarkov. If you like it for the gearqueer aspect, all the guns in ARC are fake and have less attachment options. It's less realistic but the gameplay is much less janky.
>>544895043It’ll probably be healthy enough in a couple years. It’s not as deep or autistic as tarkov. Its somewhere in between it and hunt i guess. Closer to hunt. The meta or cheats or something stupid could devolve the experience but the release and early roadmap is way above average
>>544835534Just private your steam so they cant see you playing a game
>>544893959because i dont want to listen to a man moan when hes hurt. thats gay as fuck
>>544895043I think so. It just feels like a more complete game, and the pvevp gameplay loop rocks. High ttk means you almost always have a chance to win any engagement even if you get shot in the back out of nowhere. It's a buzzword, but the Arc themselves make for tons of zany emergent gameplay situations where you'll have multiple squads fighting each other while rocketeers, Bombardiers, leapers, etc turn the battlefield into a straight kill zone.And to top it off, the game is optimized beautifully. Embark may be the most competent Unreal engine users on the planet (all my homies hate lumen and nanite)MTX are expensive and fuck ugly though. To be fair.
>>544894557Yeah I don't see how I will ever have the opportunity to fight anything more than the lowest tier enemies when every lobby is filled with bloodthirsty freetards who just bumrush towards any gunshot because they have literally nothing to lose and everything to gain from trying to bushwhack the first person they see
>>544896301cosmetics being ugly is whats going to kill the game give me some sexy skins for the female character
I play as a girl AND I use one of the girl voice changers
>>544896860It's easily fixable. I just hope that the initial MTX sales are bad so that Embark gets the message and switches up their skin strategy asap. Last thing I want is another Apex legends situation where the skins suck for the first 5 years after launch because redditors will buy anything even if it's trash
>>544897059I was but after some yung nerd got nervous talking to me i felt disgusted
>>544896860Yeah I don't really like the look of any of the outfits. Frankly I'd prefer some sort of helldivers 2 type armor. Feels like we're going on a raid in pyjama's right now.
>>544897768that was me, it turned me on
I have not once been attacked at an extract in all my raids. But run into some dude at random anywhere else and it's hell on earth.
>find first raider cache>some shit tier smoke grenades and other junkuhh I thought these were supposed to be rare and full of good stuff?
>>544897415>>544898040The trick is to feed us the worst skins imaginable for insane prices, so when they drop jin-roh shit next year everyone wilds out
>>544899015I've noticed this as well, even on squadsI think people are just taking turns lmao. My group pretty much never bothers fighting if somebody is extracting when we roll up, easier to just let em go and extract right after them
>>544899015I've run into people extracting but never into someone camping extract
>>544878908look at the cry babies whining about pvp in the chat, pve players ruin every single game
Why are we (lore-wise) shooting eachother? Doesn't make any sense since everyone's coming from Speranza anyway?
>>544807395why not just savor the seethe?
>>544896860unfortunately this game was developed during the peak of ugly leftist prude hysteria (which is still ongoing, but not as severely) so i truly doubt we'll get anything better. Maybe an attractive/white face or two down the line and an outfit that doesn't make you want to vomit but that's probably it.
>>544899168I was wondering the same thing for the "deliver a box to the raider depot" shit"Oh wow, 15 light ammo and 10 shotgun ammo, gee I'm glad I risked my life for this!"
>>544900391It's just the Wild West. Raiding is pretty much suicide already, so if you kill a man topside nobody will ever know. Obviously in-universe the ratio of bandits to cowboys is probably reversed, but it's a videogame so you gotta suspend your disbelief a bit
>>544896301>gut lumen and nanite out of UE5>it suddenly worksi genuinely hope developers around the world take note of this
>>544899168they have green guns semi-frequently. i usually just loot them for ammo though
I hate that streaming and tiktok means every little faggot on earth is going to latch onto meta everything almost immediately If you aren’t efficient or using the streamer trick you’re the minority And were never going backt. Already seeing it happen
>just sold 5 rusty tools>look at materials needed to upgrade benches>>>>>>>>>>>rusty toolsThis is bullshit, they need to organize the loot into "THIS MATERIAL IS USELESS DOGSHIT JUST SELL IT OR SCRAP IT" and "Is used for something at some point"
>>544901379testing annex extract is completely unusable.The cool hidden loot rooms are already getting exposed.Every video recommends having an interactive map open at all times that shows you every loot spawn location and places where players can spawn
>>544901445The good thing is you could probably sell your entire inventory and target farm whatever you need in like 2-3 runsIm already thinking of culling everything that doesn’t feed directly into a single efficient loadout, but ill need to make a fucking spreadsheet to do it
>>544901604I found one secret loot room on my own and today it was swarmed by 4 other gamers at the start of the match. This is what inspired the rantIll probably bend the knee and watch a guide so im not wandering into traffic by accident
>>544901604And what’s the deal with that extract?
anyone found a good place with blueprints?
>>544902115nta, there's a roof perfect for extract camping overlooking ityou can just sit there with something like a ferro and shoot people who want to extract, and then when it's getting close to shutting down you can just zipline down and grab everythingI have only met scum around that extract
>>544902159I've always found one on the dam control tower ledge, where you drop down from the roof be aware of the ladder back up though, it's a very tricky jump and I've failed it every time, so bring 2 ziplines if you go there
Are hatch keys worth when you can craft them?
>>544902159i got one from a surveyor and one in the spaceport warehouse ladder shed quest
>>544902115the youtubers already pinned it as the best extract for waiting for players, since you can just hide in the building. And when extract comes you can safely leap down onto an antenna.
>kill a dude that baited 10 arcs to my elevator>drop him with my anvil>loot him a bit>call the exfil>picrellmao
>>544902745I rather just buy them and keep the materials for the cloak
>>544901379amenthere's no whimsy anymore. Back in the day you'd have gamefaq strats, 4chan routes, camping spots etc. At best.I miss it. Every mystery datamined week 1, abundant metafagging. It sucks.
>>544901445genuinely, unironically, skill issue
my biggest issue with the game at the moment is that even with a full loadout you can load into the game with less than 20 minutes leftthis should be reserved for free loadouts only, if I'm bringing good shit into a raid I want to have time to use it
>>544904087above 20 minutes is fine.however, i had raids with far less than 20 minutes left. around the 15 minutes mark which is unacceptable
Of course, people have already started camping quest locations by hiding in dark corners while wearing the sleekest grey jumpsuits they can find. It's actually super fucking hard to see shit in this game, and carefully looking around corners is even harder given the 3rd person angle where campers can set up harder than you. This guy just hid until he heard me looting a container, then stood up to kill me for free lol. Actually was sitting in that room for like 20 minutes just waiting
where are the prickly pears
>>544904798Random spawns on prickly pear cactuses aka sunken city
do your part, raiders
>>544904853thanks
>>544904695why havent games made some sort of counter to this like if someone is standing still or in the same spot for longer than a minute it highlights the character red or some shit so other players can see you camping
>>544902159I've found the most blueprints in residential areas - drawers in an apartment, etc
>>544904695The g suit you get for preordering the deluxe edition has a dark green color, I've been using it as a ghillie suit. Very p2w lolBut it's just hard to see people in dark corners in general. Just gotta shoulder peak corners. Remember you can swap which shoulder you look over too
>>544904983i'd prefer loud coughing fits
i cant find any fucking mushrooms.i have 2 after 25 hours of playtime
>>544904925qrd?
>>544904695Skill issue
RE: raider crates, just got meself some nice loot out of one.
>>544905159Audio night mode drops the volume of really loud sounds, and increases the volume of softer soundsIt's a cheatHe's a cheater
>>544905159boosts silent audio effects such as footsteps and lowers loud effects that are crazy loud anyway
Now that the weekend started all the brown people come out of the woodworks to shoot on sight
>>544906160brown people cant afford to buy this game thoughbeit
>>544906160I played a bunch solo this morning to get some fruit for that fucking chickenEverybody was friendly, helped each other with quests and ARCs, and extracted fine
>>544906365I'm extracting solo to hunt for apricots for the same reason and I'm getting shot by timmys on sight
>>544905238yep those can have sick stuff
>>544906442Yeah, my experience was 3-4 hours agoAs the day goes on it'll just get worse
>>544905371>lowers loud effects that are crazy loud anywayoh that's nice
>>544903249I think the 1st achievement may be bugged cause I got it in like second game too and I dont think there was anyone except me in thereor we both got got by a fucking ninja rolling at the last second
>>544905062Yeah I just didn't see him, I looked at all the corners of the room but his suit was exactly the same color as the metal in the control room. I did a pretty quick clear of the room with my light, guess I went too fast. It was one of those raids where I could hear like 3 team fights outside the building, absolute chaos, so I was looking to get my quest done before all those people rushed in.
I bought the game and so far played 6 matches and I can not fucking extract I always collect a bunch of shit and make a b line as soon as my pack is full but I always get fucking killed by someone as soon as the elevator doors open up
>>544906971have you tried asking them to not shoot
>>544901445This would be appreciated quality of life
I want weather patterns, sand storms, hurricane, lighting storms, hail
>>544907167Yeah ask a russian premade not to shoot bro
>>544907167They down me before I can even see them
>>544906971Keep trying, anon, you'll get out soonYou could try a delay tacticWhen you call the elevator, it takes 30 seconds to arriveThen it will stick around for 2 minutes before automatically returning, which can be sped up by activating the computer terminal insideSo you could trigger the elevator, hide, wait for it to arrive, then wait 90 seconds to make sure nobody's going to camp youThen run in - even if you get downed, you can still return automatically
>>544906971every match rooster gives you enough resources to craft the basic smokes
found this
>>544907647Wrong.
>>544907393I dunno, most of the time if I emote "don't shoot" at extract I hear 2 or 3 other people answer with the same
lush bloom my ass give me the fucking PEARS
Using in game emote wheel but dont have a mic? I wont shoot as long as you fuck off. We are not teaming up.Using the built in voice changers? Instant shoot the second I hear it.
>>544907849>give me the fucking PEARSTook me literally 14 runs to get 6 pears todayI never want to go back to that cactus patch again

I have played 18 hours and haven't set a foot in blue gate yetam I missing out
>>544914215probably some freetard trying to extraction camp for some gear
>>544914521Imo it's the most KINO map, but every time I go there it's fucking infested with freekits and favella monkeys sniping from 100km away with ferro's for no reason other than to grief your meds. So it's really only good for fruit and arc farmingMaps for custom loadouts only when
>>544806858The Devs should add a visible clue on your target, like a backpack in at least 3 to 5 states like empty/third/2-third/full/fat-pinata

>>544913760There's much better things I could be doing with $40 RIGHT NOW nigga, $40 tomorrow (or next week) means I'm losing HOURS to a game I can't and won't playI should bill them for making me waste my time like this actually, a refund is frankly not enough
>people shooting on sight at 29:30 into the matchbro for fucks sake there is nothing to even gain we're all using the same shitty guns you can craft with like 5x metal scrap
>>544868641This game really has become a civilization test for people, eh?>if there is no one to enforce the rules, how would you behave?also, this thread needs flags so I can weigh people's experiences appropriately.

when are they going to let us buy coins with real money this inventory management shit is gay i just want to hoard
>>544806617>PvPvESo PvP. There's little to no PvE content in this game
>>544915867the robots around the map are pve :))
>>544915781Ask somebody to help. Solo lobbies are filled with friendly players. Its probably easier to do it in a solo lobby since other players that show up will probably help out. In squads, everyone is just kill on sight and you would get shot in the back before you killed the bastion.
>>544915781Just start shooting at them and there's a high chance other solos will join in. Or loot husks during events.
This is my first extraction game and I have a retarded question - what's the loop? I think I'm missing something. Like I don't get what's the progress here. I go upside, i loot a few places and extract - I don't really understand the loot to be honest. I salvage so I could fit more but there's so few slots it's literally 5 min matches. Like I get that I could search for better quality loot but is that it? I then also feel discouraged to take actual good stuff with me, I just abuse the free kit. I imagine if I find good gear, like a weapon I wouldn't want to take it since I'll just lose it. So where's the progress? I'm enjoying the game just a little lost
>>544916195Do the quests and upgrade the workbenches. That's it for any extraction shooter, really.
>>544916135Where do you find the husks when they run the husk event?
I love teaming up with random people in this game so much it's unreal
>see player looting by himself>throw 3 snitch scanners at him
>hey!>don't shoot!>I'm friendly!use your mic or I'll kill you. simple as
I'm impressed at how fucking stupid the keyboard combination for dodgerolling is. I actually had to look it up.
>>544917470kek based>>544917543can't you rebind it? I just dodge roll with ALT
>>544917543>left alt is too hardare you retarded
>>544896301>lumen and naniteThey're the only devs that use the RTX branch of UE5 kek
>want to look something up on youtube>type 'arc raider'>first result: weapon tierlistAbsolute cancer
>>544916195>I salvage so I could fit more but there's so few slots >I just abuse the free kit.Swap or alternate to running the Looting augment, that you can get for free by trading in each free kit at robo man after a successful extract, and you'll have an easier time with loot. You also won't be forced to salvage as much in match which is good for a game where the benches require the most random shit to upgrade. Just the basic bitch looting augment compared to freebie run gives>35kg limit to 50>14slots to 18>+1 safe slotYou don't need to only build loadouts with "good" gear, just throw on an augment, a ferro, a rattler or stitcher, and a couple bandages/shields for a povertyKING loadout that's able to loot more while also having more options in combat. If you do get ganked with it anyway, it'll only be like losing ~$10k or so of shit while letting you come out with much more potentially while also letting you throw quest items in the safe slot. The combat augment also gives you a decent increase in looting potential while also opening up medium shields if you're at that point
>>544916195Upgrading your benches to lvl 2+ so you can build high end gear. Build out your options, get more loot. Combat and gameplay feels different with different equipment sets.if you're having fun, thats all that matters. There's a prestige system that gets unlocked later on when you're level 15+ too.
>>544917543i rebound it to caps lock.>>544918438setting the upgrade items i need to be tracked, was very helpful for upgrades.
>>544917750*kills you as you open your windows menu*
>>544918764its ok little timmy when you have your pc for more than a few weeks you wont accidentally press the windows key
>>544917750It's the fact you need to sprint (shift) plus use left alt. That's a dumb combination for several reasons.
faggots spam crouching only to open fire on you are the worstfags who need to resort to psychological warfare because their mechanical skills are lacking are just retards
Is the full release worth it? I got in for the second playtest but I felt a resounding "meh" from wiping teams. Like, nothing felt valuable enough to fight over. Is that still an issue? And do the weapons get any better/cooler than Fallout 4 pipe guns?The siren song of Tarkov is calling to me again and I need to know if this is a suitable replacement drug for black tar heroin

What are some non trinket items I shouldn't feel bad selling if my stash is full? I've got all the workbenches and a couple at level 2, but I'm not really sure what to sell cause I'm afraid I'll need things for future upgrades or quests.

>>544921516See if you got small extra stacks of stuff you already have a lot of, that might help with spaceYou can probably also sell things you've already used in an upgrade already

>>544918438Bro thanks I had no idea you could trade in those free augments
>>544921860raid a lotloot a lotsell a lot
>>544920998luv raidin
>>544921860Sell shitBlue tier scrappables are like 1-2k a pop and give barely any resources, wasp drives are my bread and butter noe i've upgraded gun bench
>accidentally attract a shit ton of Wasps and Hornets>another guy comes and shoots me in the back instead of helping>he then proceeds to get knocked by the same swarm of ARCsmouth breathing retards
>>544921860Anon if you take a free loadout and just run to extract you can sell all that stuff for 5k. How are people having money problems.
>>544922689The real moneymaker is using drivers and splodes on bastions or leapers for huge loot. Bastions alone drop like 100k in valuables
>>544921860free loadouts, fill up with green junk, extract, ez gg.I was having trouble collecting the gear to go out and raid, until i realised i should just periodically spam free loadouts once i had the spare inventory space.>>544922708a player is always more of a threat than most ARCs though.
>>544921860>go dam with free loadout>beeline for the high loot value tower>loot all the containers>(don't bother picking up anything worth less than 1k a slot but loot everything for xp)>you should have at least 2-3 purples and/or recipes and a few 5k valuables>go back via the swamp elevatorI average 55k a run with no riskif you wanna bring a kit you can carry out probably 1.5x that the only issue is when the sentinel spawns on the staircase and you don't have a good gun but there are other entrances
>>544921860retarded fuck
i got the osprey bp so i've just started doing jolt mine sniper nests and letting people farm for me. degenerate gameplay
>>544924308>osprey bpoh fuck you
>>544916064Yeah, ive noticed that solo players are either rabid trigger happy or pretty friendly.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>544925191you've won the game
>>544925362Secure caches are fucking nuts, go look up the maps for em and you can nab a bp for yourself
>>544925191On a free loadout, no less
>hit multiple tech spots>no cooling fans
this was my extract just now
Did the harvester event with friends, we died at the end from a rocketeer but i managed to stash a jupiter BP in my ass easy ass loot but i have no idea how we gonna kill the queen
>>544925796i wish i took a SS of my solo raid where 5 other players extracted with me after fighting off a heap of arcs together at exfil. That game was soo much god damn fun.
I've got an extra anvil bp if anyone want it>>544925974sounds kino
>>544925870Wolfpack and hull breakers I supposeI heard people were killing it during the playtest so it can't be THAT hard.
i am gaming
>>544926725>snaphook not in safepocketyou like to live dangerously I see
>>544926725>Snaphook>Volt MineWhat cheese strategy are those for? I feel like blue gate is the map with the LEAST verticality and very few choke points...
>>544926336we tried shooting it wth our anvils and we must have gone through 300 rounds of heavy before we ran out
>>544926725ok gay ming
i ran into like 3 people and no one shot me one even gave me their sniper cause they thought i was a girl (im using voice 1)
did the shotgun get nerfed? I pumped 6 shots into someone close range (he was like half in cover half not to be fair) and he didn't die
>>544925435Don't spoil yourself. It's more fun to play the map and learn stuff (IMO). I love listening to the clicky sound on the way to do other stuff.
This game isn't lasting two months before it's forgotten about, shits so easy
Just installed the game, and what's even the point in Raiders killing each other? Like, I can't even pick up 90% of the shit I find off a dead guy, and it doesn't feel like Hunt where you HAVE to kill others for an objective item
>>544928032Usually a 3 tap
>>544913010>third person shooter>retrofuture aesthetic>abominacion character faces and cosmeticsthis is the last game i would join a fucking discord for and it would only spell disaster for the general by inviting attention seeking trannies that no doubt already infest the game
>>544928574botting campaigns, like official to push the game up artificially, as well as third world bots that will later sell items or account to earn a living is what infests the games. troonsters are a tino minority as usual.
>>544928574he was probably one of those trannies notice how an anon showed him you can post lobby links and he never returned with a lobby link
>>544928373its not really made for the hardcore extraction players they got tarkov for that, this is for the working man whos going 9-5 at mickey d's just trying to relax after work
I do find people are mostly wanting to cooperate but on the flip side then I ain't learning how to PvP so I'm sorry but I'm giving you a warning shot and then it's on.
>>544928764tiny but always the most vocal and by far the most annoyingI've even noticed that in several official game discords I've temporarily been in, the helldivers 2 being one example, they've even gone to the extent of botting tranny flag reactions on every single patch note or announcement
>think maybe the Anvil is a Ferro but with bullet dispersion or some kind of range debuff>actually it's just a 6 shot ferro
>>544928528it's funny because they cry about it
>>544928528The entire game is a social experiment to see what happens if you make a pve game, enable friendly fire, and offer no directions.
the underground city should be a hub we can walk around and do things
>>544928528think of the game like a PvE game but with friendly fire turned off. You dont have to actually kill anyone and killing Arc is really the most profitable thing to do.
the game tells me to shoot raiders for credits so therefore i am incentivized to kill you
>click quick use on the left of the inventory>doesn't show all quick use items
>>544930030I agree, imagine if you could see other players milling around too.
>>544913010Send it nigger
>>544930030>guys snaphooking around the city to quickly hit all the traders for their quests>bunch of dudes all in the cantina throwing around smokes and glowsticks>two guys in a corner screeching at eachothersovl....
Anyone got a map of the raider caches?
>>544931019fuck you
>>544931120no, fuck you raider man
>>544914521It's a fucking warzone. Me and my boys killed 12 different players (4 separate squads) in about 5 minutes. Shit was ludicrous. Squads just kept rushing our gunfire and due to some fortunate position we were able to take them all down. Only ever happened on this map.
i just killed someone who was fighting the big ass bug robot. he had insane gear. thanks for the gear. oh and i killed the bug
>>544864334>>544864728>>544864423Never played a game like tarkov but have played warframe, I'm loving this shit
>spend all my metal parts on ferro and stitcher then upgrading them and getting shield chargers and meds and smokes>spawn into solos>die within 2 minutes
I should probably start using my blue shields...
>>544808343I'm beelineing to the security locker breach so I can be disappointed by them not being worth 37 points.
>>544932181As long as you don't die you can endlessly recycle them for the rarest part instead of repairing and never run out
>create a "trinket" category to show what you can safely sell>except you need some of this shit for upgradesOh just FUCK OFF. One job. Now I can go look for another cat bed jesus fucking christ.
>>544932257oh neat
maybe we should put this in the OPhttps://arcraiders.wiki/
Fianlly tried shotgun,verdict: its ass
>>544932708I'd go so far as to say that there is no reason to run anything but a free loadout until you have a large supply of blue shields
>>544932889>quests requires you to shoot raiders with shotgunI mean, that doesn't even make sense in the setting.
>>544854005I wish my raider could look like burnice...
>>544933000I've got 6 and I can craft themalso I why the heck can't blue looter augments not use medium shields, seems only combat ones can use better shields, wack
>guy fights rocketeer>help and shoot it too>he starts shooting me>lob a molly into his shed turn 360° and walk away
>>544932154have you considered getting good?
i guess someone got betrayed
>>544934554sick of seeing homeless people on the subway
>harvesting snitch scanners on buried city>get a bunch, time to leave>2 minutes left>stop to harvest some lemons>hear the train arriving>because I stopped for lemons I wont have enough time to make it back if he leaves>sprint down the stairs>call out on voice chat for him to wait for me>metro entrance is filled with ticks>get to the platform>he is waiting at the door fighting off fireballs and ticks while waiting for me to get in>we extract togetherkino
>>544855720anons, someone run cheap kits with me and try thisits already being reported we needed to do it before they patch this.
>>544934930ill do it w/ u
>>544934930post a lobby link, I will make a basic stitcher/ferro kit right now
>>544935029what's your embark id? if we can get one more anon we can run multiple runs all day even
>>544935029>>544935097how do you post a lobby link, just post your embark ids and I can invite you but we NEED barricades I already used up mine
solos are kinda weird. most people are just running around buttnaked doing quests lol. not doing anything else
>>544935098ILoatheCanadians#2092
>>544935175nvm I forgot you can buy them
>>544935175>>how do you post a lobby link>be in lobby>alt tab>go to your steam profile>on the right side, right click the "join game" button>copy link address>post in thread
>>544934921what a nice guy
>>544935426oh, well then just invite me
>>544935190>>544935426someone post a link and we can try the dam tower

>>544935875we need one morebring>cheap kit>a single barricade
>go around Buried City looking for caches>get 2 Anvils, Anvil blueprint and 1 Arpeggio>put it all in my stash along with the Torrente I crafted>find an Il ToroGuess I'll carry it out to go through my shotgun ammo. Also I'm starting to feel like people don't wanna PvP at all, at least on EU. Whenever I get PvP it's usually some dickhead shooting me when I loot. I'd even run into people with holstered weapons. Yesterday a guy like that showed up in front my face and I shot him twice but he didn't retaliate. Humanity is truly united against ARC.
>>544935875>>544936020I can join, how do I use the link to join? Nothing happens if I paste into my browser
>>544935875>>544936020Full
>>544936320>>544936303u missed the boat
>>544936020fuck you>>544936303paste it in browser, it asks to open link with steam, tab back into game. Its full now though
>>544936374>>544936381dang it
>>544935875I have no clue how to get up there btw
I have seen the lightthe chicken is plotting against me, he's trying to fill up my stash
About to play on blue gate for the first time, should I bring a free kit or a ferro and kettle
>>544808343Pure Mobility. The only issue so far is when I play with other people I accidentally leave them in my fucking dust
This game is wild.>pick blue gate with sniper and kettle>want blood>end up helping a dude who's getting fucked by a horned>another dude helps>the first one doesn't make it, i team up with the other>we get aggro'd by a cunt who threw a snitch nade at us, we have like 5 flying bullshit trying to kill us>somehow we fuck him up>keep looting random shit and we extract together
>>544936708but to what end
>>544935875don't put it on top of the player, we want them stuck inbetween the wall and barricade so they can use the unstuck function
So I forgot that we had to plan a way DOWN in the event I could simply open the door for you guys.If we have at least TWO ziplines we can just start right at the bottom and get back in through the door.
it would be cool if there was a risky player created economy that the devs are entirely hands off about that only the community does. like someone offers lemons for a toaster and shit, then they trade in raid. if someone dies, someone dies
>>544935875see >>544937961I am bringing ONE zip, I need someone to bring one more.
>>544929570At this point I'm pretty sure they do it just to trigger people like you. I bet if we had a solid four or five years of everyone going back to not giving a fuck about trannies, you'd stop having your face rubbed in it. It's a Streisand effect kind of thing. The more you hyperfocus on them heckin trannies, the more they band together and get vocal.
this thing is hilarious.im running around like that one little gnome with the flute
>>544932889I like shotgun. Slap a choke on it, engage at short range and start looting anvils off metafags.
>>544938580What does it do? Play music?
>>544938697yeah its a flute. you can run around while playing it. its funny
>>544938580>>544938697>>544938825https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwLSrNu1ppI like this
just did the harvester for the first time with another random solo. fun times, even if the drops were meh
>>544939014whats the harvester
>>544938979kek i hope there is a blue print for crafting these would go top side with nothing but a flute
what streamer are yall watching rn? watching shroud rn.
>>544939164the thing that the queen is guarding. it has a bunch of arc components and a relatively involved puzzle that yields blueprints and other goodies.
14 fucking runs beeline straight to swamps and i have 1 fucking mushroom to show for it fuck this cunting game
>>544939378I watch Lirik because he makes funny voices.
>>544939378You should watch xQc if you can't speak EnglishBecause he can't, either
What's special about night raids (besides them being at night, obviously)? Like, any reason I should do them?
>>544940281Night raids have increased lootTherefore sweats will go there You can then kill them and loot their shit, too
>>544940281Better loot across the board in return for less visibility and more ARC activity. Even something like a no name apartment usually has a couple weapon mods. If you're ever using a key for a loot room, you'll have a bigger payout as well
>>544940281Its the only time you should actually use your access keys. Special rooms already have good loot so this will amplify it
the more i play the more i wish i had invested into staminabut now im almost done with my less noise rat stuff, even tho i dont know if it even does anything
>>544939540collapsed tunnel section in space port
I trio'd with some guys to do the harvestersome other team went in and tried to kill the queen, I think they left because they ran out of bullets lmao (didn't see any flares) thus leaving the queen low enough for us to pop two legs with anvils meant for people
What was bro's endgame ? If you sneak around me, i'll consider that you wanted my ass.
>>544941646he could tell you're a sicko
>>544940615>>544940709>>544940783I see. Might give it a shot. Honestly I'm kind of a chill raider. I tend to avoid high risk areas and just skirt around the map collecting random shit. My stash is almost maxed out with mats because of that. I'd rarely shoot anyone unless they shoot me first. I might jump in with a free loadout to see how I do. I'm not very confident in my PvP skills even though I'm playing BF6 a lot. The gun handling is totally different.
So many fucking rats on tonight
so apparently the nature's bounty event works different than I thought - I thought it just meant that stuff like trees and plants that normally appear on the map give more fruitturns out it actually spawns fruit baskets in spots that normally don't have them, I found one in a weapon crate spawn(that also was there with the osprey) on damn battlefield with>lemons>resins(first time seeing that)>apricots>olivesinside
>>544941878I have a weird keyboard thats not recognized properly in half the games i play, its just 123
i need more
>sprint slide>controls are now all fucked and i can barely moveebik
>>544943162I found a ton of lemons and apricots in some random bus. I thought I'd have to trek into the city center to feed my chicken.
