Anyone know the server tickrate...?
would you kill her on sight?
I'M FUCKING HYPE
>>545126582Yesbut I shoot everyone on sightwhile micspamming teen titans themesongavoid spaceport on NA
Dear anons, I met someone who proudly called themself as an X game main and I thought that was silly...
>>545126607>avoid spaceport on NAno problem, i'm EU
>>545126582that neck does not look attached
>>545126582I'd stick my Anvil to her head and make her suck me offMight give her a blueprint if she does a good enough job
>>545126582I'd rape her.
>>545126781looks fine in-game, just a weird angle>>545126832an Anvil blueprint i hope
>>545126607avoid spaceport on OCE, biggest bunch of 3 stacking faggots with purple guns and retarded faggot free kitters with ferro’s shooting you across the map with the intention of never looting you if they actually to manage to down you
Loud clothes, quiet steps.
a literally insurmountable obstaclefix the climbing damn it
what's the meta weapons?when completely new, what's the best strat? just running free gear and looting everything? solo btw
>Get filled with someone who has a premium paid skin>Immediately assume they are some kind of authority and let them lead the partyI don't know why we do this, it just means they opened their wallet
>>545127012maybe have a 3stack with purple guns instead of getting rekt
>>545127158If you don't know what you're doing, use Kettle + Stitcher comboWhen you learn what you're doing you can just do a single Anvil as your only weapon or do Anvil + Stitcher again
>finally find a tick>miss my burn grenade and it just sits there laughing at me
>>545127158>meta weaponsFerro + kettle/stitcherOnce you unlock it, anvil>best strat?Run free kits until you have enough spare supplies to run a decent kit with a blue shield, otherwise it's a waste of resourcesAlso use thishttps://arctracker.io/needed-items
>>545127298try a showstopper to stun it
Can you use trigger'nades in your teammates?Or can they stick them on you?Just something funny about rushing an enemy team and then blowing up.
What's the point of Heavy Shields? It doesn't even block one extra hit for most guns compared to the Medium Shield.Just takes a lot of resources + speed penalty for a placebo.
>>545127457can't sadly
>kos'd 4 raids in a row in solos, twice by someone just crouching in a bush waiting for someone to pass byShit like this will kill this game for the average casual. They'll just be reminded of why they started playing pve Tarkov and go back to that.
>friend is looking for 3 rusted gears for literally 2 days>find 3 in a single room when I wasn't even looking for them
>>545127460Yeah its like 2% more damage reduction and 10 points more capacity than a medium, and way more expensiveI just stick to medium but i'm running out of arc circuits to make them
>>545127532It's just the nature of the genre. People do it in Hunt Showdown when there's literally no reason for them to do so
>>545127617And yet you'll still go down in same amount as hits as wearing a medium shield in most cases which makes it pointless. Maybe if it blocked ONE MORE HIT of the ANVIL or FERRO or maybe an additional shotgun shot but it feels terrible.
>>545127250>>545127304thanks bois
>go in with a shit loadout>have significantly more success than anything else I've gone in withGod, the Stitcher is so good up close
>>545127643Free kits just makes it worse because they run around with nothing to lose repeatedly so it's going to be rampant once the average person starts getting bored of the game in like a week or 2.
>>545127804maybe Tarkov has a point about putting a time limit on scav runs
>>545127338I found a popper in an easy spot to throw. It's finally over.....
>In a position of certain death>Salvage your good weapons so they get nothing
>snitch scanner>lure grenades>hairpinyou don't get on arc aggro table if you use hairpin, its good to finish people getting gangbanged by your drone pets
>>545127923I genuinely think the game dies if they don't put a limit on it.
I eventually get the ability to craft simple gun parts, right? I'm assuming that's a blueprint, if so?
Any advice on getting rusted gears?
>>545127150That spot is bugged or intentionally done that way which is shit. You're supposed to get there from the other side.
>>545128096the normies would throw such a big hissy fit it would be hilarious
>>545128125Go to loot zones marked with "industrial" on the map. Spaceport has a good few of them.
>>545128110What's wrong with seeds
>>545128110No and no.
>>545128248...honestly, I kinda forgot Celeste exists. She's got a daily cooldown though, so that's kind of annoying.>>545128257Weird, considering there's a BP for heavy gun parts. Bummer.
>>545128110almost every low level arc drops simple parts
Why the fuck are the impact grenades so shit?Just directly hit someone with 4 of them and i don't think it even broke their shield.
when can i buy p2w stash space
>>545128417i think theyre mostly for arc
>>545128485I dunno, i also hit one of the big roller balls with 5 of them and it was still alive
>>545128110Farm wasps and turrets for simple parts, you can get get 1-3 per drop
>do trio randoms>guy whos baby is literally constantly crying
>>545128110There is a bp for light, medium for certain. However,I do not believe that there is a bp for the simple gun parts. Aren't they abundant though?
>>54512841730 damage ain't a lot and its getting halved to 15 by a shieldActually not bad for xp farming tho, find a spot where you can chuck them at a bastion or bombadier for like 300 xp per nade
>no boob sliders in game
>>545128417do trigger nades instead
The Anvil...
I kinda like blue gate, it's got a bit for everyone with the puzzles and the underground area
>>545126395>finish new op thread>come back>realize im 45 minutes too lateack
>one of the cool unique things about arc is that even though pvp is there, it's not really worth it, and you're more often than not just better chilling with others instead of killing them>still get shot on sight literally every match by some dude who can't wait to loot my level 1 kettle
>>545127532>pvp in my pvpve game?!faggot lol
>>545129525It's a pvp game first
>>545129387For me it's definitely buried city, but blue gate is #2. I just like fighting in the towns a lot.
Solo is for bros
>>545129525Every time i kill a player:free loadout, couple scrapsWhen i get killed by a player its a full kit, purple mats and a key i found
how the fuck are you niggers such fucking losers "ahhh no dont kill me ahhhhh" just kill them first, youre not a casual, are you...?
This is solos. I ran inside an elevator I called for and like 8 players all ran into it too.
>>545129646For me it's the dam. I don't like verticality in maps, just too tiresome to keep track of and get ganked by clowns camoing on the corner of last floor
>>545129734Diplomacy is the white man's game
>>545129468thread picture* im retarded and gay
send help....
>>545129702"Hey raider!""Don't shoot"95% of players will let you pass with just two pings, also dudes dropping dupe BPs at extract for randos
>>545129745I hope solo stays comfy, so far it's like 80/20 on friendlies
>>545129387there has to be something wrong with the spawns on blue gate. above ground I cannot go literally 2 minutes without seeing players.
>>545129857white people are probably fighting for highest kill count in history
>>545129897
>kill a rocketeer>loot everything just fine>find a leaper out away from literally everything>kill it>some nigger is just camping behind a rock on the edge of the map for ????????
reminder that if your complaint boils down to "i lost to an enemy because they played a way i didnt like" youre a shitter
>>545129857>white people killed 40M of their own in WW1 because a white dude assassinated another white dude>negotiated a garbage deal that made a white country chimp out again and killed 50M white people in WW2
>>545129745>14minutes
>>545129968no chancestreamers and people who nolifed the game are running out of shit to do so soon PVP will be the only thing that's left and that's not counting the streamers who genuinely don't know that most people are friendly because they shot on sight from the start
Level 4 Anvil is amazing...
>>545130231I was farming milestones and after I got 3* I wanted to extract...
>>545130251They need to come up with more unique quests like "Extract with 3 or more people on solo" or "Revive someone"
They should have leaned more into the cowboy aesthetic with the outfits rather than this concord-space-suit thing
>>545130034>4 days vs 2 weeksdackov niggers are speedrunning to be the most obnoxious faggots on the site
>>545130275pop a silencer on it and its golden
>>545129951This actually just happened for me.Me another raider met like 100m from extract and before we could either shoot or emote we were spotted.We both shot our way through them and hit the extract with 0:30 seconds remaining on it.He tossed down a Bettina BP for me so I gave him a music box that had the text "very valuable" on it(apparently 5k).
>being friendly
>>545130150Yeah, some faggot camping behind a rock waiting for someone on the edge of the map 2 minutes shooting them while they're looting is the epitome of peak performance. My bad, my bad
The security breach talent is good as fuck bros, no point even doing key runs because the security locker shit is just more available, shares the same loot pool and just straight up easier
>>545130228>>545130004dont they slaughter albinos out in the open because they have gold inside their skulls down in africa to this day?or just machete people in general
>>545130448are the fruits on trees/bushes or just on the ground, I haven't found a single wild fruit yet.
>>545130378Nah m8 let it sing
>>545130489You have to kick trees for apricots, lemons, and olives.
>>545130353>4 days vs 2 weeksexactlyseethe, cope and dilate
>>545130449Damn, need to grind me some xp then
>>545130548Where can I find pears
Why do 90% of the outfits look like they're for women?
Which area do I run to immediately for blueprint chances?
>>545130489Medic raider caches (bags with green logo) sometimes have a good amount of plants in them, got 3 lemons and apricots in one
>>545130448I never said it was peak performance you nigger I said that you're a shitter if you can't adapt
>>545130449Carry on without meI already fucked up my talent tree
Got a keeper stuck inside ancient ruins on blue gate easy kill
>>545130445Shoot on sight is fine, betraying is the faggy part.Out of about 30-ish games now, 3-4 of them have ended with someone shooting me at extract after using either "Don't shoot" or saying "friendly" on voice comms. One of them I even helped to complete his quest.
>>545130720Catussy drop them sometimes, not interactablethe ones on dam on the red lake hatch sometimes have 2
>>545130735Raider camps and key roomsAlso i've gotten 2 out of thosr regular ass crates you have to breach, even got a legendry stock out of one of those that increases fire rate 25% and 40% recoil reduction
>>54513044890% of "camping" complaints in extraction shooters come from one person hearing another first and just stopping and playing stealthily. The actual 10% is people camping objectives/extracts.For any tarkov niggas, stay out of the dropdown metro extract on buried city, it's the equivalent of D2.
>>545130806Leaper
>>545130610you lost
>no Ferro EB for me Anvil...
>Buried City>attempt #? at finding bioscanners at the hospital>been getting shot for several consecutive raids after having a couple of days of "don't shoot" people>jaded>open up on this unarmed guy with my Rattler>he just jumps up and down>decide not to kill him>he gives me meds, shield charger and some nades without us even talking>get my second bioscanner and book itKarma was kind.
how the fuck do I find blueprints man
How are you bros leveling so fast....
>>545131194Make a FerroShoot at ARCs
>>545131194what >>545131236said, and checking every single loot container even if your inventory is full or it's been looted already
>>545130725demoralisation campaign backed by Embark's Chinese handlers to troon out western players
>>545130073Probably just waited for the 10 min mark, since most raiders are dead or left by that point.Chances are, they have a key lol
i have no idea how this trials thing works. can i do shit one week, and then pop off a next and get maxed out rewards or something? im waiting for my friends to catch up in the meantime
>>545130725it's the same with hairstylesof the base 10, 5 are nigger hair, 3 are women hair, 1 is bald and the last looks vaguely gay.this is probably intentional to upsell the microtransaction hairstyles
>>545131461Its basically ranked mode, your performance each week determines if you advance or go down in rankSo if you did garbage last week you still have the ability to rank up x2 this week
Does that early missions to visit an escape hatch spawn a raider hatch key for the mission holder every time?
>>545131715It did for me as well. So probably yea
>>545131715yes
>>545131715you get another key as a reward when you turn the quest in as well
>worried if someone is around in a building or extract>can just press esc/system and they'll show in proximityThis feels exploitative so much that I tap esc every time I go into a building complex, does take the mystery out
>>545131767>>545131807>>545131853Fuck I knew it kek. My friend had the mission last raid and I told him to look around for the key. He did the laziest search ever, said "guess we didn't get one" and proceeded to make us go to an elevator where we got ganked. Goddammit
>>545131923It's intentional to flush out campers
>>545131975it's a very small box laying like 2ft away from the pipe that you fix
>>545132042I fixed a corner of the hatch, and spent maybe 7 minutes looking for anything interactable. Such a shame, desu
>do night raid on Dam>bring control tower key that I figure I'll never get to use 'cause my spawn will likely be bad for getting there on time>I spawn literally right underneath it>I even get friendlies letting my overencumbered ass into the extract after I take everything that isn't behind a security locker>2 Renegades, a Tempest, a Vulcano, and a WolfpackYeah, that's pretty good. I guess.
>slink into testing annex without setting off the cameras>close doors behind me>loot the medical goodies>hear camera and door open>slink into corner>hear him go into the turret room and get lit up>drop him with anvil>"Don't shoot!" as he crawls away>hid his body in some bushesNICE LOOTING MK2 IMMA HAV THAT
why do people get so salty at pvp in this game? im not even backstabbing people, just having straightforward fights, but whenever i kill someone they always cry over the mic about me being a dick or something
What exactly does dispersion reduction from attachments do, speed up the rate at which the crosshair shrinks in or prevent it from expanding as far after you shoot?
>>545132793People who haven't played any other extraction shooter don't understand it's not a PvE game.
>>545131975shitters gonna shit, call him a lazy fuckwit that lacks critical thinking, hopefully he doesn't drag you down too much anon
>>545132793>you won i lost wah i can't handle the necessary struggle needed for growthjokes on them, theyre gonna spend life as a victim and never be content with the reality that jesus is the way the truth and the life
>>545133132i only play solos and it's honestly hard to get fun pvp engagements in this game. most people i see start spamming dont shoot when i try to fight them so naturally i stop since its not fun just shooting someone who's not fighting back. it's a shame because the game is really fun otherwise
>>545130004>>545130228and?>you whooped my ass at the chess table after I swung at you, that must mean I am better than you at chess because clearly you can't be better than me at both chess and fighting
how is the betina just got a blueprint for it
>>545132793I only raged once, he hit me with that don't shoot and shot me in the backHe said sorry before finishing me off so i guess calling him a cowardly bitch got to him
>go to the scrapyard to search for the 3 items>forget to pick up one of them>come back to do it again, grab the last item and leave>doesnt count beacuse i had to search for them all that same round>do it again, get to the extract and crash>restart (no option to reconnect)nuke sweden
>>545132793the only thing that's upset me so far is the netcode, you absolutely shouldn't be getting shot from around the corner because their ping was better than you or the worst is seeing someone magically spew bullets out of their body because the animations are slower than whats actually going on
I hate it that there is no way to preload the gun in the loadout selection, so that I take stack + magcap manually when deploying
>>545133570play nights in the later maps. i've had a lot more solo pvp there
>>545133570I actually get you, because I only loot in solos. This game is not really that good solo. I play mostly with a friend and in squads it's prob the most fun I've had in an extraction shooter ever, group pvp is great.
Imagine how good raiders smell after a raid hehe
>>545133640I'll let you know...
>>545134050post raid face sitting
>>545134126ARs kind of seem lackluster, they're competing for that mid range slot with Anvil and it just shits on everything at that point. Up close it's just better to run a Venator or one of the SMGs and at longer range Renegade shits on everything.
>>545134050cumming in my (male)raider's helmet before a raid
May just be a personal anecdote but KOS is starting up for me; I may just adopt it myself at this point unless they are on prox chat. My first 15 hours I only had 5 people kill me. In the last 5 hours I've had 1-2 people trying to kill me in almost every round
>>545134540it's only natural, eventually all the friendly people will get tired of getting backstabbed and either start kos'ing or just quitting the game
>>545134540People are probably beginning to finish up their questsNo point shooting others when everyone is just running across the map completing objectives, but when they run out there's not much else to do but shoot ARC or other peopleI think Embark should have added random map event objectives that everyone gets an alert for. Like have it ping everyone on the raid that a special type of ARC is spawning, or that for this round if you can get this many people to do this task together you unlock some locked chests in an areaAfter the quests are done, there's not much point in teaming up
>>545131143I've found bioscanners at the Testing Annex on Dam nearly every time I've gone there. Just gotta watch out for campers they seem to love that building
yea, suk on dem yt boy
>>545134128>finish picrel>realized you said sitting and not sniffingwhatever here you go anyway
>>545134891I like the top floor of annex; you can go on the ledge outside of window and get the jump on people. I like to just pop their shields and go back to hiding
>>545134970did he just have no shield????????
>>545134970how the fuck did he lose to a rattler, remember anons always stay topped up in hp and shield
>>545134970you guys holster your weapons?
Expedition Bonuses are temporary by the way...
3rd person on an extraction shooter is so fucking aids. Every death so far has been to someone just camera peeking a corner or doorway waiting for someone to walk by. That and everyone having the same extracts that dwindle down just seems like they wanted to maximize camping by design.
>>545134970there's just something wrong with ferro faggots, it's like they can't help themselves from pulling the trigger at all times
>>545135248you don't? you run so much faster while holstered>>545135293Well I want to respec my character anyway so I'll be doing it
>>545135248you run faster with a knife without having weapon equipped
>>545135502thats me if i see a pixel move on the other side of the map my brain just clicks and i instantly have to take a shot regardless of what im doing
I just fucking let myself die. God damn it
>>545135293Apparently permanent stash size upgrades are a thing, but other buffs will last only 2 months
Damnit I just sold 10 apricots and now I need 12
>>545135414Maybe they wanted to maximize interactions and you can speak to people instead of having to kill them you tarkov brainrotter?
Where do I find mushrooms
>>545136486They’re all over Dam in the swamp area; look at the map posted earlier in this thread
>>545136486on dam in the woodsI am still looking
>>545135563It's only super relevant if your weapon is heavy. If you're carrying a pistol or an SMG, the speed/stamina hit might be so small that you could consider just keeping your gun out.
>>545136486If a map has the harvest mod you'll find little baskets full of plants every once in a while. They're like little brown wicker baskets. They usually have mushrooms in them.
>>545136486On the blue pipe inside watertreatment on dam map
where are the fucking sentinels i've never killed one
>>545136902how have you never encountered the sniper turrets dog?
>>545136387Yeah my bad I should've voiped to the guy who sent two shotgun shells at me the millisecond a single pixel of his character model peeked around the corner he was camping. They really maximized that interaction you dumb nigger ape.
>>545136902one spawns on that big winding metal staircase outside of dam control tower
>>545136902One under admin building on dam
>>545136902One spawns either often or always (not sure) on the bottom side of the overpass eastish of the center of buried city
had 3 quest items on me and that big fucker wouldn't leave the extract, that could have been badi assume all those dead bodies were people trying exactly what i just did as i heard some explosions but no gunshots in that direction for the whole match
hehe
today has been awful in EU no one speaking
first time doing trios and they literally went and extracted 1 minute into the map because they saw a bombadier. not even spotted by it
>>545136612No lmao, you move noticeably faster always without a weapon equipped.
>>545137601>i assume all those dead bodies were people trying exactly what i just didnot really, if he downs you you can still extract and he will stop shooting and won't finish you off
>>545137810as a eurofaggot i always queue on na instead because everyone's way nicer, talks more and talks in english
which one my dudes?
I still can’t get myself to use my good stuff. Every time I have I lose it doing something retarded or getting pvp’d. Free kit really needs a cool down or something
>>545137963Yes lmao, there exists a stat called agility on your weapon which governs how fast you move while carrying it and how much stamina it costs to sprint with it hehe haha lmno hoohoo
>>5451381841 > 3 > 2but I would wait, they are for sure going to release more exciting outfits
>>545138184driftcoat is the best but that's my skin
>>545138195I can't bring myself to use free kit because there's no safe sloti find a really good item or a quest item almost every run and it fucking sucks not having the slot for it
>>545138231Yes, and you still run slower with a weapon equipped. You're the type of retard to run around with a pistol in CS instead of knife.
>>545138195freekit is a terrible disadvantage, even if you're just looting with no hostility. never worth using (if you arent just bumrushing some quest)
ran out of wolfpacks and i need 1x rocketeer engine thing. someone GIVE ME
>>545138318True but I just always seem to have good luck doing free kit. Maybe some sort of minor buff to not doing it outside of 1 save slot
>>545130004China casually kills more people than WW2 every century
>>545138236they probably will but they'll also probably have a sale on raider tokens and I'm a good goy
Dropping in naked is more fun than using the free kit
getting 50 tokens from the deck unlocks is so silly. why bother at all. it will take more than a few seasons to even save up enough for any of the sets
>>545138352No lmao hehe haha (hoohoo lmbo!!!) retard haha, oh haha lmaoooooooo what is agility for haha haha haha lmaoooooo if it's all the same haha hehe lmao
I wish there were some sort of rough estimate about how many people are on the map currently. Some maps I feel like I see a dozen people and others I literally run around the entire map for 15 minutes and it’s a ghost town
>>545138768they basically copied fallout 76's seasonal shit
>>545138195You can craft an entire lightshield sticher + ferro build for basically pennies from the stuff that scrappy finds for you. The only staple inventory item that is somewhat hard to get is shield rechargers
All the voices are AI aren’t they? They just recorded the actors and made a gen model of them. Celeste asked a question during a quest proposal and it sounded really funny
I should have just bought deluxe, there really was no reason not to now I'm paying more to yeehaw cowboy
>>545139469yesand even better, you can use an AI voice to mask your own voice for party and proximity chat too
>>545138768Both the item packs and the low tokens are useless, just make it cosmetic and emote only or up the token count to non insulting levels
>>545138184I boughted the one on the rightlooks like a ww2 bomber pilot
>>545138184I use White/Purple Bog Walker
>>545138480I've found a few safe spots to plink at rocketeer engines inside buildings but one time a hornet got in, other time pops shot up my assholeWill try again tonight with an anvil and like 3 stacks of ammo
>>545139573>I should have just bought deluxeIt's not too late $20 to upgrade to the bundle, and in the bundle you get the same amount of Scam Tokens as you would have just buying the Scam Tokens straightBasically if you want to buy some of the Scam Tokens, the cosmetics from the Deluxe Edition are free
what do scrappy upgrades actually do? my scrappy is level 4 and he still gives 5 of everything after a successful extract and like 11 after a failed one, same as a level 1 scrappy
i run free loadouts it's because inventory management every single match got old really fast
>>545141590just die every time, no more inventory management required. ez
>>545141380I'm kind of wondering the same myself, maybe it just increases the potential max amount of crafting mats he can bring back in a trip?
>>545141590>I constantly fill my inventory without ever removing anything from it>this somehow reduces inventory managementuh
>>545141630that's another part to it, don't have to worry if i die.probably gonna just free loadout my way through all the quests then start actually playing the game once they're done and shit's unlocked
>alright time for a quick olive grove run>spawn in nowhere close to it>surrender>spawn in close to it but 15 minutes have already passed so it's been looted>surrender>spawn in close to it at a fresh start but it's been looted by someone that was closer>surrender
>>545141784You're much better off going for the nature event whatever it was called rather than grinding that piece of shit grove.
>>545141752don't know if this is your first extraction shooter but you should try not to be afraid to lose your gear. just view it as borrowing the gear, it was never yours to begin with. this game is much more casual compared to every other extraction shooter out there so you should doubly not be worried about losing gear, its so much easier to get it back here
>>545141590>full stash>run free loadout, loot, extract>don't send items to stash on extract>ctrl select them all and sellBeen doing this for hours now, I don't know if that's an indication that the stash and loadout systems aren't really designed that well, but I'm only stashing quest related stuff now and selling, can't be bothered
>>545141832This. Went into Buried City during a blooms event and not only did I get a shitton of lemons and apricots from that center garden plaza area, a couple of the baskets also ended up giving me a shitton of prickly pears with some mushrooms and olives, stuff that you basically can't find on that map. Baskets seem to pull from general plant lootpools so they're always worth checking for plants you normally can't find.
>>545141947idk if you've played Hunt but i have like 800k in that game and still run shit-kit hunters because i simply dislike giving people expensive stuff on death, and nearly every gun in that game kills in 1-2 shots anyway.
The sentinel is always dead when I get there
I have gone on three prickly pear adventures to the cactus in the buried city and there is literally nothing there
what do i upgrade now?
>its a find raider cache episodei cannot find these fucking these for the life of me
>>545143172Max out those left two pips in mobility (max stam + less stam used when moving), both together are basically mandatory and will effectively double your sprint distance which is crazy helpful.After that, your best bet is probably investing in survival.
>>545143762anon? your ears?
>>545143762They make a loud clicking noise with whirring on background.
>>545143834thanks
I wonder if they'll ever rework talents, and if so, how they would deal with itI guess a free respec?
>>545143834If you're already investing 11 points, put a further 4+1 points in Mobility to hit 15 then get that "While walking, stamina regenerates as if standing still" big node on the right side. Basically doubles your stamina regen when you badly to out-distance someone or something.
>>545143172if you go all in on survival the security breach lockers actually have a shit ton of pink weapons in them they are busted
>>545144165>While walking, stamina regenerates as if standing stillI thought that talent was misleading, because "walking" is not the normal job, but the toggled-on "walk" from the keybindsOr was that other anon just trolling me?
>there's only one marginally attractive woman in the game(i don't count the gun shop npc since you only see her eyes)i love woke devs
>>545144165Isn't that one actually kind of terrible since walking is different from the jogging your character normally does and is super slow as well?
>>545129586Not really.
>>545127012>>545135502literally me
night raids are too stressful bros...
>>545143762They also have their own little sign with an arrow pointing to it
>>545144126There are respecs almost in game with the expedition featureYou can start building the thing at level 20 but it won't actually kick in till the update that actually adds them goes up which is gonna be roughly end of year
rusted gear by far my rarest workbench material where do you get this shit
>>545145262i've had good luck in industrial areas at places you have to pry open panels and boxes
>>545144792On the compass?
how long does it take until all of the quests turn into the kind where you need a pre-made group to do them? i.e you need engame guns, endgame grenades, all the loot, killing bosses etc.
>>545145346no, right next to the actual raider stache
>>545144468that's what i hear too.
>>545145052Yeah, but the Expeditions are optionalI was more thinking about the Devs saying "Hey, this talent is way overpowered so we have to change it" or "Nobody takes this node, so we're replacing it with this new one"In a server wipe scenario, they just do it on the wipe and it's no big dealBut since Uncle Joey isn't forced to reset, he might be locked into a talent he didn't want, or that he doesn't want anymore
>>545145262Try the cars and busses, dam north elevator has 2 busses in the yellowSpaceport south checkpoint has a bunch pf them too
>>545145547>right next to the actual raider stacheYou have to have been close enough to the stash for you to have seen/heard it for those to appear on the mapUnless you've got the streamer client that gives them better quality loot and highlights all possible loot containersI'm kiddingOr am I?
Yes I use free kitYes I use tier 1 ferroYes I ambush pve players whenever I hear them fighting ARCsYes I enjoy the game
>>545145830Don't shoot!
>>545145830my anvil still two taps you before you can reload
>>545145783The whirring is noticable even when walkingThe sign is not on the map, its in ingame prop thing in the overworld, its very smallIll get a screnshot when im home in an hour
People would rather watch Arc Raiders than look at titty streamersThe world is healing
>>545145262https://metaforge.app/arc-raiders/where-to-find-rusted-gear-in-arc-raiders
>>545132793Just a pretty ludicrous amount of amount of betrayals and suicide bomber free loadout looters that make any diplomacy pointless.
>>545146186the drop event is still going on anon
i fucking hate friendly people so much. i got in a gunfight, it's pretty even, we both break off to heal. some fucking retarded 3rd person comes in saying "IM FREINDLY IM FRIENDLY". ofc i dont shoot but this retard distracted me and the guy i was originally fighting kills me. WE NEED TOTAL PVEKEK DEATH, IM KILLING ALL "FRIENDLIES" FROM NOW ON.
>>545140549hot
>>545144616I love night raids, they're just oppressive enough and teaming up with someone makes you feel even more comfy than in a normal raid
I salvage all loot I couldn't carry on spot so late-comers don't get freebies
>>545146142Guess I've legit not been lucky enough to go near one
massive run bros!
>the extra loot from breaching talent is just your character sharting out a couple of metal parts whenever you breach somethinggay as fuck, although some things give a few arc alloys at least
>you can customize your room decorations based on the loot>weapons show on the wall with the actual attachmentswish they had separate room decoration slots from stash storage slots
>equip anvilyupit's arc huntin' time
This is thread #5 not #4
reminder that the eye icon on the top right of your loot signifies that it's something you're tracking and you should probably take it with you
someone peaks around a corner and ferros you, what do you do? he's going to reload before you get to him
>>545147336where does that key lead cutie
Am I tripping or does every cosmetic set have boobs/huge ass, I can't find a clearly masculine one
anyone wanna go spaceport and do the launch tower loot event?
why are some of the bps so rare, haven't seen a single augment or weapon attachment one yet
>>545148163Get used to it, Grandpa - women are the future
>>545148163there is no masculinity in this game, get on your voice changer hun
>>545147384Rip... I was heading towards that
>>545148163Have you checked if you have the correct body type? You can put a male face on a feminine body in this game
>>545148163lot of the suits have a lowcut daiper ass or skinny jeans look. I'm just using the red variant of the level 10 (I think) unlock
>>545148361>why are some of the bps so rarebecause you're too slow
>>545138110Why can't my raider look like that? Moth bodytype when?
People are too nice in solos. I feel bad trying to start shit
>>545148092it's that uh locked room near the top of the building on dam
>>545148163The starting jumpsuit and helmet is genuinely a better outfit than any of the other non-store cosmetics. I'm still rocking it with one of the new colours you can unlock for it
>play solos for the first time>meet 5 people who don't kill me>complete missions and extract togetherWow you guys weren't kidding. What a refreshing change of pace
>>545148709good stuff, don't forget to loot the outside ledge as wellthere's a door you can open from the inside of the locked room
>>545148501i wasn't aware there are loot vacuum hackers alreadymy bad
>>545148476Holy shit it was this lmao, thanks anon
A GAME UPDATE IS AVAILABLE
When people start ranking up through the trials, can you derank either from not playing or just underperforming? I hope it lets you keep position, I'm not autistic enough to play 8 hours a day
>>545148874thanks for the tips didn't know about those! i'll go there after i finish up some quests
does steam offline work ingame? or is there an ingame offline
there must be some kind of matchmaking. barely got pvp'ed for a dozen hours, then I go evil mode for a bit, then it's like I joined KOS servers the last few hours after
i can't help but imagine my raider being such a whore hehe
>>545149259who knows they could always have some code in the game that makes it so that if you shoot others you then get put into lobbies where other people shoot you back
>avoid people, fire warning shots if somebody tries to get friendly>sprint towards raider flares and hunt down KOSiggersI'm bounty hunter maxing
>>545149259low prio queue
Are trials rewards random or is everyone going to anvil max eventually
>>545147384Works for me, always running low on metal scrap coz i craft a lot of ammo
>>545149360I bet she sucks cock for apricots
>>545149465Random I thinkOtherwise every lobby would be a hornet genocide
>>545148053Die
>>545149507she's a lemon stealing whore
>>545149465I got the Osprey blueprint as my first reward
got my first steam hate comment because i killed a literal fur faggot who was playing big iron on his hip out loud on his mic
why do the arc make so much beeping sounds when they communicate through wifi ? surely if they were so smart they would be silent
>>545149465Random, i got an angled foregrip mod bp
>>545127150i got killed trying to jump on this thing to get away from someone, was so fucking lame
>>5451498751. For gameplay, if pops were dead silent you'd be fucked2. Perhaps the people or aliens or whatever qre behind unleashing ARC intend to put their own ground troops down eventually
>>545149465RandomA buddy of mine got an epic attachment after one of our matches, and I got a weapon
So the rattler hairpin and kettle only exist to water down the free kit pool right? Because the Ferro and stitcher mog the other guns so hard it's comicalI mean the rattler has 10 bullets per mag for fucks sake, that has to be intentional
>>545149507She's currently doing it for a cat bed.
CAN SOMEONE TRADE ME A SENTINEL CORE? ill give you an anvil or something
I'm sorry bro. I wanted to be friends but the call of the blue shekels is too strong...
there needs to be a farmer outfit
>>545149570>>545149679>>545149913>>545150123Damn, I feel like I have some sort of penance or obligation to fulfill for getting the god cannon blueprint this early.
>>545150171kettle is great lowbie weapon. pretty much the only one that can consistently kill with one mag
>>545150331>TRADE ME A SENTINEL CORE?>ill give you an anvil or somethingwhat kind of desert religion trickery is this. i'm going to tell you i have it, then kill you and take the anvil or something.
>>545149146I wish my duo could look like this.
it's gonna be hard to play other online games without proximity voice chat
Which outfit has the best ass on femraider body type? This determines my purchase
>>545150968why bother? everything looks trans, except based space suit.
holy crap I just had an amazing heist>launch tower loot event>go in solo>meet another guy below the tower>team up to try and find a power cell>we hear someone is already up there>ascend on opposite ziplines>light the place up when we get upI think we killed like 5 or 6 people up there, shit was like an action movie. Some got angry and some were pleading for their lives
>>545149875They were programmed to think beeping sounds are critical to their function and haven't been able to get around it
>>545150968Don't buy any cosmetics until they add breasts and ass sliders.
>>545151332
>>545150695if you are POOR enough to want an anvil for your time, you arent killing big dogs like me
>>545151586>>545150695just found one though, now i can build BIG GUN
>>545151586i'm going to kill you, take your stuff and dump it in a bush out of sheer anti-semitism.
what the heck is a "wall leap"
>rolling by swamp extract>guy hops out of the bushes and shoots me>tell him to chill, he doesn't, I narrowly kill him>he finds his mic and apologizes, says he thought I was the extract camper he'd been fighting but I heard no gunshots>in the heat of the moment I defib him while thinking he might be lying>2nd guy comes out of the bushes with no gun saying don't shoot I'm friendly>guy 1 fucking executes him in front of me saying don't believe his lies>decide to extract with guy 1 but keep my gun outHarder moral choice than any decision I've made in an RPG.
>>545152598that's some once in a life time vidya experience
>>545152098>what the heck is a "wall leap"Climb onto ledgeTurn camera to point backwards towards the groundPush Jump againIt's retarded
>>545152767is there any area where this would be useful?
>buretta>anvil>venatorWhy are all the strongest guns pistols?
arcs should have more jumpscare elementsfor example, ticks should be able to crawl on walls, doors, and ceilings and lunge more often
give me inventory management tips
>>545152903I can't think of a useful time, no
>>545153234Sell everything until you get 200+ bag space
>500 free coins fuck yeah
>>545153293i'm 280/280....
>>545153170Ticks already crawl on walls and ceilings?
>>545153314where
Game just makes me roll my eyes. I just don't see the point? And you lose all of your shit when you die? To what end? So you can run around in op shit and crush people who don't have anything, but if you get ambushed you might lose it?>running around>bullet proof drones where I dont have a gun that can damage them in any meaningful way>shoot some dude looting for a solid 2 seconds>turns around and I instantly lose most of my health>run off and heal>find some rare mats in a raider cache, oh neat>go to elevator>instantly die within 1s from behind
Any tips to get more blueprints?I have fuckton of parts but nothing to spend them on
>>545153376use those guns you're hoardinguse those grenadescraft everything you cansell those bandages your scrub ass is going to die before you use them anyway
>>545153427>>545153314
>>545153379Huh. i only saw them on floors
>>545153468the weapon crates seem to have a lot of them
>>545153452
>>545153510>didn't log in on sundayfucking bastard
>>545153510nice
>>545153513They start on the ceilings and drop down when you walk byI've never seen one climb after that, they just jump towards you
It's fairly easy to loot goblin for 30 minutes and extract with a key and earn more than enough for a new one
>>545153468I'd tell you, but then I'd have competition.I'll just say: the fort puzzle on blue gate is never worth (too exposed, takes too long)And on Spaceport during the launch tower loot event, the rest of the map is pretty much completely empty since everyone is bum rushing the tower.
i think redditors are the biggest fucking retards on the planet and i know the devs are going to listen to their retarded as fuck complaints
>>545153513I believe, after they drop, they do not crawl back up, but I was ambushed frequently on the dam control center and in the houses by ticks from the ceiling.
I am 75% sure that if you load into a raid with some of the better gear, the game WILL spawn one of the KOS fags close to you deliberately >>545153759r*ddit has been whining about all kinds of things ever since the first tech test and they haven't given in to them yet
>>545153510That's cool of them. How much will future decks cost?
Is it even possible to jump across the launch towers? I've died like 4 times because I forgot to bring ziplines...
>>545153664>the fort puzzle on blue gateSpent 15 fucking minutes with my squad trying to find the last of those 3 keysGot ambushed by several Hornets and saw 2 fights in the distance, thought we were nextNever got inFuck that place
There needs to be a way to track the items you need for the Expedition Project
>>545153985Probably like 1000 or 1100
i don't know how to explain it, but this game is comfy kind of stressful
>8 runs on eu>shot at several times>killed 1 time>met several ruzzians>9 runs on na>never shot at>never killed either>friendly bantering and people being helpful and asking about quests and items
>>545154094yeah? pretty easily too. there's a whole ramp
>>545153452lol. you just aren't in this ecosystem, man. go back
>>545153452>bullet proof drones where I dont have a gun that can damage them in any meaningful waybring a ferro stoopid they cost basically nothing
>>545154360It's the first game with a gameplay loop that actually feels unique that I've played in a while. I would have never expected in a million years that people would actually team up though, I figured it would be a death match every round
>>545153452Look up all the drone weakspots, even the weakest free kit weapons can take out all flyers without much issue
>>545154360yes
>>545154550It's kinda the same effect on tarkov honestlyYou never get carebear lobbies but NA is much more friendly/talkative
>>545154360it's comfy in the same way dark souls is comfy
im retard rushing the launch tower on night raid with free loadouts and having a blast
I have acquired 1 ONE more mushroom for the cock
>>545154636Yeah I figured it out can't jump while sprinting in my crap keyboard...
>this time I'm just going to do this quest and not worry about extract>5 minutes in full inventory of ARC componentsAaaaaaaa
>>545147298>>545145783here is the pic, tiny sign with an arrowi only found them on the outskirts of the maps, never in the center or near yellow/red loot zones
are medium shields worth using at all?
>random guy just gave me a bettina blueprint he found in raid because he had it alreadyCHEERS BOSS
>>545156636Yeah As long as you don't die and lose it, you can keep recycling the shield and get your arc circuit back no matter how broken it is. Just gotta have enough batteries, then you can sustain forever
>>545156837i see
>>545156756is it good?
>>545152598Why the fuck do I have to to figure out who the skin walker is while playing my vidya
>>545156756>>545157060Not sure if it still is, but it was 100% bugged before. My entire squad all found their own individual bettina BPs within the first 8 hours on day one
>>545152598Had a dude pull a similar one on meAmbushed me quite aggressively in the generator rooms, lost, and then claimed he thought I was "another guy" who was "chasing him"(unlikely)These people are worms anon, you and their words mean nothing to them, if they're willing to fight you to the death and only rescind when they're on the ground, you should finish the job
need a pve mode i just wanna hunt some arc not have little timmy waiting till i engage then sprint at me with a toro
>>545155542based
>>545158015>if they're willing to fight you to the death and only rescind when they're on the ground, you should finish the job100%If you shoot, then start juking and talking or emoting, I'll consider mercyOtherwise I'll assume they're lying snakes, kill them, and take their loot
>>545136678Nice
i've NEVER seen a buried city town hall key outside of the one u get as a quest rewardentire central POI locked away
bros I just teamed up with a real female in solos and now she friend requested me. I don't want to be rude and reject the request. what do?
binos are highly underrated, very easy to scout from a distance since the rendering at that range is so poor there's no foliage or weather in your way but players are rendered fully
>>545158798>real femaleThis game has built-in voice changers
>>545158798post her steam profile
Hell yeah brother.
>>545158949thank god now I don't feel so bad
>>545158798Why would you not want to be her friend?
>https://arctracker.io/needed-itemsadd this to the OP for the next thread
>>545156636When you factor in damage reduction each shield adds a minor amount of effective HP; enough to save you from a bullet in some fights.>light: 116 hp (shieldless health is 100)>medium: 130 hp (+14)>heavy: 142 hp (+12)For -5% movement speed I'm okay using medium but you're going to seriously feel heavy at -15% unless you max that first talent on the green tree. Light shields are still completely viable.
>>545158015>These people are worms anon, you and their words mean nothing to themAbsolutely.>duoing with friend>watch him walk up to a building>guy vaults roof and falls down behind friend>I ping the guy>guy walks up and shoots friend>ferro him in the back>friend sprays him with smg, downs him>begins screaming bloody murder on proximity voice>"why did you shoot me?!?!?">"just wanted to talk">"enjoy free kit loser!">his duo in the building creeps off and doesn't even try to help him
>>545159197I don't enjoy having friends. by the way the new captcha is horrific
i just died to the ladder that just drops you off the fucking side of the dam...
>>545159445If you did not enjoy the interaction why did you entertain it in the first place?
>>545159559to complete my mission in a smooth manner
Surveyors are a lot tankier than I expected, a heavy fuze grenade and like 60 rattler rounds to kill one
>>545158470lol this is much easier than scavenging with no map mods
the voice changers are so much fun, I met a guy and we just played around with the different voicesvoice 9 which I had previously been using but had no idea what it sounded like actually sounded very robotic meanwhile voice 3 is VERY nice
>set costs 1,400>can't directly buy 1,400>closest is 2,400, leaving you 400 short of another setfucking scummy ass jews, I thought predatory practices like this were outlawed in EU?
>>545158949>built-in voice changersthere's no way
Oh here it is, finally
Stash is already full, what do I do with all my junk
>>545154360I know exactly what you mean. My work is this way too. I can't play this shit after a shift or I literally will not sleep.
>>545159839I used two sticky nades and an anvil to take it out. The real trouble is chasing the fucker.>>545159448Anon, theres a ledge to jump off onto that leads to a makeshift camp there. It has an anvil usually.
>>545160392>settings>audio>near the bottom>Raider Voice Betayou can set it to party, proximity or both
Any millennials playing this? Is it good?
>>545160521Upgrade your stations If not, sell it all, and start usimg the blues/greens you might be hoarding. Its time for big game ARC hunting.Im about to go in to hunt leapers.
>>545160521>alreadyjej. Sell it. Sell everything over 1-2 stacks of whatever you've got.
>>545160674i'm 33it's alright. it definitely respects your time
>late spawn>double silencer>maintenance gallery in blue gate already picked clean>constant fear of rat camping>extract without meeting anyone and sad looti like the renegade but it being kinda hard to craft makes me nervous to take it out>>545160380bwo, your battle pass shekels?
Are Sterilized Bandages worth it?
>>545160860there's a battle pass?
>>545160674this be me>>545160523
I SOLD ALL MY TOASTERS I FORGOT THAT I NEED THEM FOR THE BENCH AAAARRHHHHHH I HAD LIKE 7 TOASTERS
>>545160928They call it a Raider Deck
holy shit the stitcher with the blue extended mag is just a tiny torrente lmao
>paid raider decks to expire in the futureGay
I have only ventured outside of Dam Battle grounds to get fruits for my chicken. I don't feel safe outside the noob zone.
>>545160928There's a free raider deck. Kinda works like the helldivers 2 warbonds
>>54516067430, only played it solo, I imagine group matchmaking is pvp hell on earth, in solo I think the last 5 runs I've completed without shooting another player or getting shot atit's strange, the environments and sound design create a very compelling and comfy experience for exploring and looting and questing, but looming over you at all times is this threat of another player potentially hunting you gameplaywise all the mechanics feel good, some qol improvements could be made for sure but fundamentally it plays well, shooting especially feels very good
>>545160985
>>545161123Yeah im just gonna start saving my blue coins for the next pass
>>545161012>>545161231how many hours of grinding the dick will it take to earn 900 arc bucks?
What does the compensator do? I don't get it. The spread is less in general?
>>545161536The pass gives you 500 coins and honestly it's not that bad since you're constantly getting the currency to unlock stuff
>>545133570why dont you just shoot people on sight?
How do I git gud at PvP?Coming from BF6 I feel like my skills aren't transferring over. I'd lose 80% of encounters and only win like 20%. Doesn't help that most of those are me getting shot in the back.
>>545160778>>545160521dont sell magnets or springs, they're very useful for all sorts of things. I sell my greys sometimes. honestly every item has a use for something you'll need loads of at some point in the game, they balanced the loot and the rarities of items extremely well in hindsight.
>>545161954>Coming from BF6Nigga who "comes from" BF6? Was that your first FPS? Shoot at their head and don't use the rattler unless you have it upgraded. Throw grenades at them, use cover. You can't die so don't hold W + M1 until a screen shows up.
>>545160860the torente is better but you're less mobile, if you're taking on guys in a tunnel they're simply dead.Guys, i just got my il Toro BP, i can finally manufacture cheapish shotguns to balance out ammo-reliance, and do pvp efficiently! This is the most happy sense of accomplishment i've had in awhile.
>>545162439I haven't played any shooters for a long time. Maybe I should aim for their head at not center mass.
how is random party fill?I haven't play anything but solo yetand I dont have any friend who still play video games left
>>545162727hit or miss with the expected retarded people
>>545160554>Anon, theres a ledge to jump off onto that leads to a makeshift camp there. It has an anvil usually.how do you jump to the ledge when the ladder faces outwards away from it?
>>545133132Counterpoint: Tarkovfags insist this is a PvP game even though it's more than that.
>>545161954Coming from Deadlock I win pretty much all my shootouts. I'm used to everyone spastically bouncing around so having these slow moving people is just free kills
running into extract campers in every single match now. ah well. was fun while it lasted
>doing the medical supplies mission for Lance>spaceport and city are super easy to complete >the one in the dam is just a tiny ass room inside a massive building That shit took me so long thank god for that random guy who sent me in the right track
>>545162979>find high ground>pull out binoculars>observe the extract and look for campersproblem solved
>>545162979>team up with some rando>never get jumped It's that easy
>>545163093How do I make my binoculars see into the metro stations from the highground?
>>545163232don't take the metro?
What happens when the timer runs out? Do you just die or can you still take the hatches
>>545161513wait, can you actually save them? for some reason I thought they'd expire when the deck ends
>>545162979haven't encountered any extract campers yet my last few runs have all been the following>run into a building>use the don't shoot voiceline 2-3 times>say hello/friendly in voice chat
>>545163273So you didn't solve the problem
>>545162553Whered you find the toro bp?
>>545163463there are multiple extracts on the map anonif you're really that desperate just use a key
>>545161954This game is much more a knowledge check than most FPS, especially in solosTry to stay aware of your surrounding, look around/behind often, generally slow downIf you get shot at, reach for cover and try to get a visual, 3rd person is op for defensive playTry learning weapons, how they work and how they soundAs an exemple Rattler and Ferro have terrifying burst damage but insane reload times, if someone unload on you and leave you at 1hp you might shit your pants and run but you have a real chance at murdering them on the spot if you turn around
>>545162987it's even worse, since he wants you to check TWO containers, but the med room in the control tower only has ONE drawer
>>545163440It's just my assumption they work like they do in helldivers since it's quite literally the warbond model. We've yet to see if they'll actually catry over
>>545161954trusting your gut about a potential scenario is 60% of the time the right play
>>545162904I just hate the lurker Ferro shot to the back all these niggers do. I'll get a dude down to 10 hp on the regular but that bitch ass instigation they won't fight without makes every "fight" a 50/50. Fucking pathetic I kill half of them and the other half are infuriating because I was so close even though I should have been a free kill.
>>545163652interesting
>>545160752>big game ARC huntingmy only problem with this is that i know that once i start shooting at ARCs, especially larger ones, that some nigger's going to be hunting me down as i try to kill it or as i try to loot it
>>545163232NTA but I use sensor nades and Jolt Mines to block the way behind me when I do night raids. Cant cover every angle, so pack a Toro for the other side of the metro.
>>545163603The one in the admin building has a bunch of lockers
>>545162979I've noticed a rise in starter suit people playing very aggressively the last 2 days. Looks like the Fortnite kiddies are being made aware of the game.
>>545163603it sometimes spawns a bag under that desk
>>545163232Metros is tiny. You can easily flush out with a couple nades.
>>545163232How do you camp the metro? There's nowhere to hide lmao
I haven't dared to yet venture into the Blue Gate...
>>545163486i looted it off a corpse of a player who was tailing and harrassing my team. BP drops seem to be in 2-3 tiers of quality, and within those tiers, they're 100% random, you will get dupe BPs, in which case you can either sell them for 5k, or give them to your teammates.
>>545127304>People don't know about the Il Toro
>>545163486I found mine in the locked room inside the water control building at the dam
So im guessing this is the battle pass system and for season 1 we are just getting it for free? Some nice shit in here
>>545164396They should give us the ability to kill downed people when we're downed.
>>545164612Gives you 500 raider coins and now embark are giving 500 for free because of the server issues so assuming the decks cost 1000 you'll also get the next one for free
i hurt myself today
>>545162979yeah me too, night raids in particular. The worst part is, there's a heap of explosive weapons that are ideal for griefing like this.One of my online buds got one shot from full health with a light shield, from a sticky trigger grenade placed on the rear of the extract button, that's just ridiculous, i think they should ban anything on specifically that button, the rest should be fair game though.
Neat, got 500 tokens even if I only logged in on Sunday once
>>545164841Why are you Chinese
>>545164396>knocking people out inside the extract A shame that faggot got to extract
>put on the balaclava >it clips like crazy with the raiders facet-thanks
>down raider by literally any means, doesn't matter how fatal it seems>whyioughta punch them>they are knocked out>they somehow make it back below the surfacei still don't understand
>>545165081What's the problem, I do it all the time.
>>545164841wait if you stack up ducks they appear there? cool. Does it work like that with all valuables?Also;>doing a solo mission on Blue>get some okay loot, on a free loadout>stumble across a LMG>be well setup, completed a quest>go to extract, no real issues>trigger beacon, run to cover>nobody comes until the cover opens up>some dude with a nig female avatar rocks up>i have him in my toronte's crosshairs>about to shoot>I'm friendly! lets extract together!>begrudgingly say yes>we drop down>i start entering the extract button>he walks up and headshots me, kills me>knocks me out and loots me silentlyThat was the most jewish, rat-snake shit i've experienced in a videogame in my life i must say. I wish i could add some sort of marker to players like that so i can know who they are in future.
>>545164975arc came down as we were celebrating the new century of chinese prosperity
>>545165271yeah they should have put a bit more effort into making that system make sense.
>>545165286If it makes you feel any better, the torrente is ass so you didn't really lose much.
>>545165286I don't trust like that. I won't full kill, but your ass is crawling to the extract if you roll up while I'm leaving. If you want to hitch a ride, run in at the last second
>>545163987its the best map imo. Really well balanced, loads of space, sometimes you never meet anyone even in teams. The other maps have more griefers overall in my experience, the extracts are fairly open-pan so camping them isn't easy.
>>545164975My guys asian too just because he looks the coolest in the ryder skin.
>>545165684Not if you go to the fort on the southwest. That place is a warzone.
>>545165286Post their Steam profile
>doing the mission where you have to take photos of the painted arc around blue gate>some retard starts sniping>hide and wait for him to approach>blast him with my free rattler>"DUDE WTF IM A FRIENDLY"I checked the endgame screen just to see if I made a mistake and no it was him fuck you
>>545164396based tick
>>545165526i got some decent kills at medium range blasting raiders with it, when they're trying to avoid shots its merciless. But the enemy needs to be either coming at you, or strafing around, the delay in the firing of it is intolerable in run+gun scenarios yes.But yes, in future i will be downing them like that, im almost as mad at myself for trusting that nig in the first place.
>>545162851Your counterpoint is retarded because this game doesn't have a PvE or even co-op mode while Tarkov does.
>>545165486>get turned into swiss cheese by an A10 Warthog with legs>"you've been knocked out"This system will never make sense, I wouldnt expect them to do anything about it.
>Friends always spend 4 hours meticulously min maxing their inventory after we win fight >Constantly getting caught out and wiped despite me BEGGING to move the fuck onFill your inventory, grab the valuables, and LETS FUCKING GO, PLEASEYou do NOT need to salvage every goddamn rattler you come across
I was at a spawn in blue gate had a security breach locker in the spawn hole lmao
>>545165936Even if I have had no interaction with a guy and it's HIS extract, if I want to be nice and extract with somebody I still just shoot them and have them pull extract button while I stand in it.Just because you're being nice doesn't mean you need to be gullible or naive.
>>545165286I think it works for all trinkets. I have 2 cat beds laying on the floor
>>545165684I feel like there's a wave of griefers/PvP that's moving up the maps with some dispersion. On day 2 it was Dam while Spaceport was neutral territory. Now it's a little calmer in Dam, while Buried City is dicey and it's probably moving into Spaceport. This is just based on the handful of times I've died on each map and might be entirely in my head.
>>545165909In solo's today i got hunted down by some random tranny with a voice changer, taken by surprise and chased after they broke my light shield. When i expressed anger and pointed out i was just trying to complete a quest (i was out in the wilderness near a landmark, it wasn't a loot zone at all), they started lying and saying "you shot at me first, you were running at me!"I am still baffled, why even lie about it? it was Blue, there was nobody else around, why make up a fake excuse? troons are insane, even in a videogame they have to shamelessly make themselves out to be a victim to justify their predatory behaviour.
>>545166314>i got hunted down by some random tranny with a voice changer, taken by surprise and chasedWhy lie?
>>545166169you have to unlock the ability to breach those first though. But that HAS to be a bug anon.>>545166158kek find better people to play with, if you're not all on board with each others playstyle forget it.Also, has anyone else noticed a few random players out in the open who are dead, completely alone, even in teamplay, full of loot? like they weren't even looted after they were killed, what gives?
>trading pears for olives with some guy in solo>3rd party lobs grenades at us and double killsi expected better of people but i am getting disappointed every day
>>545165286I hate these people so much it's unreal
Scrappy finds your unconscious retard ass and drags you back to Speranza. There's your lore faggots.
>>545166815they should make that canon
>>545166425i was trying to complete a quest on blue gate where i had to explore an area in the middle of nowhere, i was literally unarmed when i was attacked and thought i was totally alone, no clankers anywhere. I had mediocre loot, so i hope that troon got hunted down like the dog he is, and the woman he can never be.Also when you're a guy with a deep voice, the female voice mod doesn't work properly and stutters, so i could easily hear his real voice as the VC would cut in and out constantly. I've used the male voices and had teammates basically say "it only slightly changed how you sound normally" when i swap back.
>>545166473>that HAS to be a bug anonI shit you not, the only thing you had to do is to not just run forwards, but instead go to the left and go through a different door or a hole, and there it was
Would be pretty cool if there was some kind of reputation system/bounty system for solos. Kill too many single-dad gamers and you end up in a lobby with people who have a quest to take you out for coins
>>545167097wild to hear, but were you deep inside the map though? some spawns put you right next to the juicier parts of the map.
>tfw randomly come across a legendary kinetic converterthis is never getting used
>>545167185maybe not something that discourages pvp, but I do think it'd be fun if the game had some additional in raid objectives that can randomly happen
>>545167306you can always just recycle it for some rare mats
>>545167456i'll do that soon
This is Helldivers 2 with loot
>have to grind 2000 blue creds to earn 500 raider bucks from the battle passyeah I think nah
>>545167306i want to have sex with your raider
>>545167185maybe if you kill more than ~3-4 people in one map (on solo, on teams it should be ~9+ collectively), you get a negative marker, or a special thing where if others kill you, your corpse drops unique loot?
>>545167706did you know that there's probably 200k other people with the exact same raider as me
>>545167192I think it spawned me in maintenance bunker
>join game>15 minutes left Man fuck you
>>545167306i randomly stumbled across a Betina in blue gate from the puzzle, i fully upgraded it immediately, and put attachments on it and everything. I also have no plans to actually use it ever, until i am able to make them efficiently.>>545167665no, no its not, stop being retarded. But helldivers enjoyers will also find overlap with this game.>>545167979yeah that makes sense now.
>>545168082nah there's nothing wrong with that, go find people to kill, some of the best loot i've ever extracted with, was scavenged off of other players post firefights, sometimes i didn't even need to shoot anyone, teams suicided from arc aggression while pvping. 5 mins after they're all dead, and nobodies come past them, i stumble across them and get a goldmine of loot.
>>545168082>foreknowledge that the edges of the map are deserted>probably dead bodies lying around POIs>quick free exp from all the opened cabinets>plenty of loot left over since no one can possibly carry it all>remaining players are overencumbered and not looking to pick a fight>get to listen to the sick 5 min remaining musicThe comfiest part of the match has begun.
>>545166158Tell them some items sell for more before you salvage so they move their autism back to base lol
>>545167698>grindI'm just playing the game
>>545168432>>545168290Yeah but I'm trying to do a mission and it spawned me across the fucking map
>>545167306>budget lobait's sad how this is possibly the single attractive face + hairstyle in the gamemales? forget about it
>>545167665>>545168154I'm a helldiver sadist and I fucking love this game. They are alike in more ways than just the warbond system, but obviously entirely different games.
>>545168736I think my raiderfu is cute and she uses neither of those optionsI don't think the faces are all that bad but the hairstyle options are so bizarre
>>545168781>They are alike in more ways than just the warbond system, but obviously entirely different games.The best part is, unlike helldivers 2 this game isn't suffering from an insurmountable bug/known issues list.
>>545168736my dude looks pretty good but I'm not posting him because he's probably the single one good combo and I don't want it spreading lmaoHis shits also getting covered up when I unlock the ryder mask.
>buried city at night>see somebody firing at a rocketeer from a window across the street>i start shooting at the rocketeer>then a third>and a fourh>all from different buildings>it crashes and we all emerge to loot>extract togetherits fun
My stash is full of mats but every time I go into a raid with green gear I get shot in the back.

>>545168736I don't play this game to jack off. I especially don't play this game to jack off to males. My grungy kleptomaniac looks like he feels.>>545168781https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuftkDxjGT4I only saw this trailer recently and got serious Helldivers/EDF vibes. They had some shared zeitgeist DNA. But I could also tell exactly how this trailer would get old. The game wouldn't work without the tension of possible PvP.
>leaper with a fucked limb stuck in a tiny space desperately trying to get the four retards shooting at it Man those procedural animations are cool as fuck
>>545169331No I wont stop fuck you!
Get security breach before they nerf the lockers. These things give better loot than locked rooms
Just chased a guy down in solos. I fucked him up and could have killed him, but gave him a shot to escape. He shielded up and took off, ran into a fireball and got cooked lol.I'm not usually the aggressor in PVP, typically the friendly guy tryin to co-op, but wanted to get some PVP in. Felt bad to have him die in that way, but was kind of funny. At least I got an El Toro out of it. I lost my first one early and never got another in all this time.>>545165286>I wish i could add some sort of marker to players like that so i can know who they are in future.Part of me would like them to add a bounty option.>Die to player>Would you like to place a bounty on this player for the remainder of the raid by offering up the item in your safety pouch?>Players location is given away or a radio notification is sent out letting others know of the bounty and reward>If bounty successful the safety pouch item is lost to you and given to the player who earned the kill>If not, you keep itThey could even have it just sit in limbo until the raid is fully complete when you go through with this so that you could continue playing your next raid.I'm not sure how well that would work in practice, but just thought it was a neat idea.>>545169560>I don't play this game to jack off.Stupid argument. No one plays games to jack off unless its an explicit porn game.People just want to look cool or look nice while they play, especially in third person. They can still have the grungy scav rat looks for people too.
>>545169880I mean, they pretty much only show up in locked rooms anywayBut I agree, sho
>>545168941The Asian girl face is also in The Finals and she can look good with the right hair, but that hair is not in this game at the moment.
>>545169896putting a rock in my ass to offer as a bounty reward :^)A bounty system would be cool though but in the long run pretty shitty
>>545170018>I mean, they pretty much only show up in locked rooms anywayThere are more lockers outside of locked rooms than in them
>>545170018There are actually a few that do not. Theres a spot on the dam with 2 or 3 not in a locked room, but you have to lower some bridges to get to it.>>545170135>in the long run pretty shittyMaybe.I'm not sure how it would shake out ultimately. It was just a passing thought I had about the game when dying to other players.
>>545168736>males? forget about itlook at that fucking chin
>get shot in the ass by a fag>heal up and down him>say I'll revive if he promises not to shoot me>berate him for 30 seconds before executing him with my anvilI know it's serial killer behavior but it was so cathartic.
>>545169896>I'm not usually the aggressor in PVP, typically the friendly guy tryin to co-op, but wanted to get some PVP inMy first few kills were like that kek. I hadn't been shooting at anybody for my first handful of rounds but figured I needed to warm up my trigger finger, get some kills under my belt.
>>545169512oh wow, turns out the server slam had slightly more than half the players after launch because of the shit format, who would've thunk it
>>545169560>I don't play this game to jack offGood for you. I play with a monitor, though. If I am gonna be engaging in this visual medium for hundreds of hours, I want my character to at least look pretty.
In solos if you use a raider hatch can your new friends use it?
Also pro tip: if you kill someone then go knock them out. I hid to heal/recharge and when I got out from behind cover, the guy was gone and I couldn't find him kek.
>>545170990yes, the hatch stays open for about 15 seconds
>>545170990Yeah. It stays open for like 15 seconds and anybody can jump in.
That's it?
Is the torrente a big stitcher or what?
>>545171025E got swalowed up by a sikhole
im sorry to admit that i kill everyone on sight, sorry bros, its a doggy dog world...
bros how do i get inside all the windows are locked
>>545171335You need a key now. They changed that from the server slam.
>>545169667They're peak
>>545171160can I have a couple of mushrooms
>>545171729horror movie shit
>>545171160you must have had a very tight asshole
>>545171160you must have a very moldy asshole
>>545171684This makes me wonder, did they fix that one 'locked' room from tech test 2 where you could place a zipline, go to the top of the building and get in that way? I don't remember what building it was or I would test it myself.
32 hours and I have only knocked out 10 raiders
good raider cache lmao (all my inventory is from it)do I stuff BP or exodus part in my asshole
>>545172008They just wanna smell u
>>545171684>other random guy drops down>both of us fumble around trying to find a way inside>took all the loot before he got here, among that loot was a snap hook>other random guy goes around the building trying to see if there's a different way inside, never see him return so i assume he fell off rip>10 minutes left in the raid>decide to try and use the snap hook by the ladder to see if i can get up to the roof>launches me up in the air, almost falling off but managing to get up there>hightail it all the way down and to the nearby extractgot an anvil blueprint out of it!
>>545172558blueprintyou can get exodus parts with seeds, blueprints are much better to have
>>545171985Just do this >>545136678
>>545172785there is no fruit event right now :'(
This is General #5 btw
TIL: grenades make quick work of the big arc variants
>>545172343It was still in the server slam but not sure about launch.
after playing 3h today and getting nothing but rat killed or 3rd partied or betreayed i think this genre isnt for me after all, have fun lads
>>545172558bp better in long run
Grouping up in solos and buzzing around for 20 minutes is such a kino experience
the cache event is really good, I've opened like 5 on dam
>>545173392Arc Raiders is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to rats and 3rd parties. You would get raped in Dark and Darker
>>545170264>look at that fucking chin
>>545173392This is already one of the more forgiving extraction shooters
>shrapnel grenade>60 damage, 6 radius>snap grenade>70 damage, 7.5 radiusIs there any reason to make shrapnel grenades when I can make snapblast ones instead
>>545173803Only if you want it to bounce aka you're doing some gamer god shit I have no concept of
AIGHT BROSfinally back home. its time to raid
>Level 5 ScrappyI am free, the cock rules over me no more
thats a much needed improvement over the ticks only trial.also, you DID rank up in trials, right?
>>545174294Is leveling him up literally just +1 scrap per raid? Im gonna do it anyways but I was hoping for more.
>>545174294I just want to find one apartment where a woman like this lived, and I too can be finished pampering that chicken
>>545174432I have a job
>>545174509she looks like she ____ _____ ___
>>545174509Apparantly pillows don't exist on my server. I found none in all of my raids.
trying the asia server hack now
>>545174432I have leveled up like once in trials. I just loot and mostly stealth
time to snipe some rats
>>545175049qrd?
>>545175632apparently solos on asian servers are exceptionally chill. virtually no kos niggers
>>545173727>>545173727that doesnt make me like this c&b-t any more, its just not for me i guess
lost like 6 raids in a row pvp is raping me ffs
stealth and avoiding PvP > fighting robots >>>> fighting random retards
>>545171335>>545172595You can get on that window without going through the room itself?
>>545175773but how will you communicate
every time I want a bombardier it's a fucking bastion or dead
At what level does the rattler become good? Is it good at 2 or do I need it up at 4? If it only gets good at 4 I will just keep taking my level 2 kettles in since they kill players easy enough.
>>545176150never
>>545175773uh oh i think i got fooled...just spawned in
>>545176150kettle does 1 more damage than rattler and by default has double the ammo. you just gotta click fast with it
I NEED MORE METAL PARTS CONSTANTLYFUCKING SCRAPPY GET MORE METAL PARTS AND LESS CHEMICALS
>>545176150The rattler will always be ass compared to the stitcher or even kettle. You should never be using a rattler unless you're doing free loadout.
>>5451761504 is to make it usable. It's never good.
>>545174602>she looks like she ____ _____ ___likes to sleep?
>>545176654Recycle some arc metal parts
>>545173803>70 damageso that means 2 nades will down a guy with full HP and light shields?
kettle > stitcher
>>545176312Was it this thread or the last one where a guy said "Asian servers is just killing anyone that isn't from your country" followed by Japfag posting a vid of him getting kos'd and being saved by a tick?
i don't know if you guys know but the kettle is relatively silenced by default
time to blow things up
>>545174294good job. now upgrade those benches
>>545177081>shoots you while you are lootingthanks for the hullcracker loser
>>545175049>>545175773It's like 4AM in Asia
>>545177281so only chuds are awake now. makes sense that its no different from eu servers rn
holy SHIT the bastion drops a lot of stuff. got 4 bastion cells and more quality mats than i can haul from a single kill
>>545178261>killing the cute squeaky botWtf man
Why are keys to locked doors so fucking worthless? I can find the same shit in red or even yellow areas.
Can you use the defibrillator on yourself?
>>545178445No
Do rusted shut medical kits only spawn outside of containers?
>>545130943This is true.these newfags never experienced bringing snacks to a raid (in game and IRL) just to hold an off angle in the narrow bend before the big sliding door.Big pro tip to the tourists of the genre: stop and listen. This game unironically has some of the best audio I've experienced in a long time. Tarkov is hit and miss, top studio games like BF and Apex have had missing audio problems since day 1. I can't stress enough to listen. And if you're going to extract, don't bee-line for the button. Clear your bushes and crates first.
How is the venator?
>>545173392Retards will scream "skill issue" but the truth of the matter is that the insane amount of people playing like TDM and free kits not having a cooldown will kill this game and people will go back to Tarkov because the dopamine hits are much bigger there.The game is fun but I genuinely don't see it having more than a like 10-20k consistent playerbase in 2 months.
>>545130943all of the extracts are metros
>>545130943>Grab the ESR Analyzer and want to extract, sit in room above that precise extract knowing it's getting camped>See jolt mine on the extract button>Wait for someone else to inevitably get hit by it>Someone else comes in and gets hit by it, camper starts shooting him>Start shooting the camper from above, neither of them even know I'm helping>We kill the guy, I reveal myself and extract with my fodder.
>>545179017good actually. it does good damage. its just not an avil
>That one extract on spaceport where there's zero fucking cover and tons of good sniping locations around it to fuck you upaight I'm not doing that one again
Let me throw rocks to hit the extract button to avoid stepping on any mines.
guys can I do the harvester event solo?
>see guy taking pot shots at people extracting>line up the easiest shot of my life>he moves an inch to the left at the last second
>>545179952can't you just nade it?
>>545180228yesexpect a rat to be sitting immediately outside after you grab some loot though
>>545179802based
I need to kill a Bastion and a Bombardierwhat are the best ways to kill themI managed to shoot out the legs of a Bastion but I was running out of time so I had to leave
>>545180805Best way to kill them is to kill the 3 meatbags that did the job for you.
>>545180805You got wolfpacks? If not, better get to making trigger nades.
>>545180228Yes, just be ready for the button sequence to take 3-4 runs even if you're shooting them. Shit do be loud so watch your ass on exit.
>>545153162Only guns that let you move fast enough to fully abuse peakers advantage
>>545180907I do not, I haven't even upgraded my explosives station so I guess I get to that
>>545129525Wrong
>>545180228yes, the final stage is cbt though. It's much less of headache to run into a cooperative rando even if you have to split the loot.
>>545178407you got bad rng. Locked areas trend towards giving way better loot, but there are no guarantees. The RNG overall is pretty damn solid and promotes variety gameplay. They were clearly terrified of toxic or dull metas forming and designed the game around that fear, and it was a good idea.I just wish there was a team-lobby browser so i could form a 'kill-big-robots' team of people up.
>>545180805nades in the belly
>>545179017better at pvp than the anvil, the anvil is great if the target is busy trying to kill someone else however.
>>545181797time to become a discord tranny
>>545180805trigger nades/stickies on the back, roll regular nades under it, clean up with impacts/heavy ammo.
As much as I love this game holy fuck were they lacking a guy with common sense on the UX team.
>>545132042I did not know this, I coulda had another raider hatch key :(
>finally leveled up my weapons benchheh, now I can continue to use ferro and stitcher because I'm a pussy
>>545178261I met a group of 4 solos partying up on space port that killed the bastion and were just giving the cells away
>>545182109I used mine to extract immediately with 0 loot because I thought there was some kind of mini-raid or loot room inside
>>545181986
>>545182604holy CHADS
>>545178823no I looted one from a container, I think it was the medic bag
>load in>opposite side of map as quest>fuckthis.png>run towards nearest extraction >shoot and kill the first player I see so I can extract with a full inventory and not feel as though I wasted as much timeI am the one who knocks
>>545179045A cooldown is literally the worst way to "fix" free kits. You tarkov monkeys should go enlist already so you can go larp in donbas.
>>545182862That's extremely gay and funny
>Mfw point blank magdumping some dude with the purple smg and he lives through ita stitcher would have killed him, why can't this rare piece of shit lmao
>night raid>got rekt by some rat while lootingat least i secured the most important loot of the game
>>545183390>got rekt by some rat while lootingJust don't open breach containers and full sprint inside buildings and you'll go a lot more unnoticed
SEXXOOOO spotted on asian servers
Blue Gate is fucking beautiful, it's giving me RDR2 and Death Stranding vibes. But also the geometry is fat AIDS
>>545180805According to the weekly trial, a single flame grenade did 1800 damag to a bombadier, but because its environmental you don't get xp for it so it looks like no damageI reckon 3 or 4 could take one down
>>545183390Easy extract with the grand prize, that rat did you a favor
>>545183716send a friend req and see if she adds you
medium shields fuck those pesky stitchers indoors campers up real good. you can tank their mag dump and they wont be happy about it
>>545183970Unfortunately for you, I bring two
>>545184035Fortunately for me, so does your mom
>>545183493>full sprintyeah ok if you want everyone to know exactly where you are and lay in ambush, sure
>>545183960i bet "she" cant even speak english. im not bothering with ai translation
>>545183305he might have had a heavy shield on?>>545183970my first time ever using a heavy shield was a complete disappointment, got caught out of position and got rekt pretty easily.
>>545184117he's saying you shouldn't full sprintI always walk indoors
>>545184214What a good citizen
Should I feel bad if I bump into some guy in a bunch of bushes and magdump him? I don't know if he was trying to ambush or just happened to cross at the exact same time.
>>545183716>189 hoursEither a dude or the biggest insufferable neet whore ever.
>>545184275better be safe than sorry
FYI this gun is fucking TRASH
They should add a karma system for solo queue so the chungus fags stay in their own queue and the chads that actually like to shoot each other get to play together
>>545184275If someone spots me first and says don't shoot then we can both fuck off away from eachother. If I spot someone first and think I can take em I'll kill them. If I don't think I can take em I say don't shoot first
>>545184532probably meant more for taking out big arcs than anything
>>545184565Nice try psyop fag. Go back to pve tarkov.
>>545184532jep i had to learn it the hard way. will be buffed for sure.also regarding picrel: just bring the hullcracker and you will delete that chonker in like 5 shots lol
I see now that night raids are the sweaty faggot containment mode with no actual benefit. This is more evidence that these devs are genius.
for me, its the anvil and the stitcher.>>545184738yeah its a shame because night modes are the comfiest
>>545184738Better loot rarity bro, of course I'm gonna blast your ass since you probably have some exodus cores instead of just a toaster.
>>545184738The loot is pretty good
So what more advanced loadout would you recommend for me?I use ferro and kettle or stitcher. The ferro is replaced by an anvil if I can find it. I have no idea what's a better alternative than the stitcher.
>>545184738I did a buried city night raid, and 4 of us teamed up to kill a rocketeer and extract together.
>>545184881Il-toro is the cheap better version of the stitcher, though you can be prone to more skill issues with it since it shoots a little slower.
>>545184881Anvil is better than ferro, stitcher is already BIS
it's so fun bringing pillows and catbeds into the raid and giving them to randos bros.
>>545184738there is way more lootables on night maps than there is daytime also more points and which means more exp i think?>>545184650anvil/ferro does a better job with better ammo economy, you'll need about 3 shots with the bettina to do ALMOST the same damage as 1 anvil/ferro shot its like a 20% better rattler and the rattler is low tier trash
>>545184837I've done 3 and 2 of the times I got killed by faggots trying to yap at me on mic when I had lint in my pockets, and clearly coming from the outskirts. Their mothers were probably alcoholics.
controlling my wifes lovense while i camp extract rn
the hullcracker will get nerfed
The tempest better be good
how hard and rewarding is it to take down the bigger ARCs (rocketeer, bastion, bombardier, leaper) especially solo? i keep running randoms and people just treat it like itll oneshot you if close. are anvils enough?
How many wolfpacks to kill queen? I have like 20 now
>>545186006wolfpacks aint gonna work bro you need 3 people with like 200 rounds of heavy LMAO use the wolf packs to kill teh rocketeers the queen has a weakspot and the wolfpacks tend to ignore it
>>545184806>>545184837>>545184857>>545185029>>545185101Alright I lied the loot is way better lmao but this is definitely where the sweatlords reside
I checked the steam forums out of curiosity, a good chunk of it is whining for a pve mode and complaining about getting killed by players. It actually seems more autistic and sensitive there, worse than reddit. Also at least half the posts seek to be bots/indians, very disturbing
>cant salvage/sell on exfil breakdown screen
damn, people are reclaiming topside, somebody just left a leaper unlooted on dam extract
>>545184662from the ass, in the kneecaps or just face to face
>>545186625What the fuck, I killed my first leaper with randos earlier and it had rubber tubes and ammo. It was still pretty rad though we weren't grouped up, it aggroed on me I started blasting and everyone in the area decided that bitch was going down lmao
>>545184837But you also probably have some exodus cores instead of just a toaster. Drops get higher rarity but don't get any rarer. The map's lush with loot, arc are more plentiful, trials get double points yet never incentivize pvp so why not work together. Though key rooms are a different story. I've had plenty peaceful night games away from them.
>>545166473>a few random players out in the open who are dead, completely alone, even in teamplay, full of loot? like they weren't even looted after they were killed, what gives?it's very easy to fill up your inventory early on. i had to leave behind a bunch of fully looted people too. we don't have tarkov's bag stacking system, after all
>>545186832if it makes you feel any better, Im also the guy that got three bastion cores for free from another bunch of randos
Fuck I recycled my bombardier items rather than my spare rocketeer one
>>545186176Aight thanks
>>545187139I'm actually not mad about it, the experience was more fun than any drop it could have given me. Everyone was hype as hell.
>>545186832One of them was lying to you anon LMAO
>>545187225lets go kill some bro
Everyone talks about how people are likely to cooperate especialyl when playing solo but in my two days of Arc Raiders so far i haven't met a single person who even talked back to me. It's all people shooting first or not responding and shooting you anyway. Then again i'm in South America so it might be the nigger factor at play
>>545187431I was the one who looted it. My ass was the ass it was on after all.
>>545187634Yeah the people you are playing with are brown with no empathy, i legit rarely get shot at when im solo like 80/20 with 80 being friendly encounters
Which NPCs dick do I gotta suck to get my server slam skinfu back?
>>545187661Maybe you didn't loot the right compartment then. They should have multiple loot pieces, and I've never had a big robot not drop it's special big robot prize.
>>545186880>But you also probably have some exodus coresYeah so I gotta shoot you before you try and steal my cores
>>545187634>Then again i'm in South America so it might be the nigger factor at playProbably that. Playing in NA has it rare to pass by someone and not at least get one of the emote voice lines>HI RAIDER>DON'T SHOOT!aggressively thrown out the moment someone hears a footstepI only get jumped for real about once every ten matches or if I go to the Dam sweat zone at night
>game looks fun>cool ambience sort of stealth game against dangerous robots>PVPI cant do PVP, i don't want PVP I just want to be chill and go slow and shit
>>545187634Apart from what >>545187729said get on mic and start talking. In this game you have "Don't shoot!" emote players, and on the other end of the spectrum you have KOS players. And then you have your average player, quiet people who don't know if you're friend or foe until you say "Yo whatup" and then they're your companion if you want them to be.
>>545182961You're right. They should only have shit guns people won't ever try to pvp with. Because half the time someone loads into a free kit with a ferro they're just gonna go find someone to kill with it.Pvp in a game like this where one person has literally nothing to lose is utterly fucking soulless and will kill it. Even in Tarkov the mosin man is going to have buy a new mosin.
>>545187887>They should have multiple loot piecesI did not notice this
>>545188350I'm literally opening my mic and trying to tell people not to shoot in three different languages and they never respond. The language thing is difficult, if i find a Brazilian i feel like they're likely to shoot me if i speak english, if i find a spanish speaker they'll probably shoot me if i speak Portuguese, and Spanish probably works for them but with Brazilians it's a 50/50 and with gringos they'll probably kill me
>>545188348You can do that. If you're smart about it nobody will ever see you. And if you do get caught you can throw down smoke grenades and sprint away
Why do I never spawn where I want to go? Quest in the south? Nope, north it is. Want to go loot the hospital in the sunken city for bioscanners? Lol fuck off you spawn completely south.
>>545188423On the flip side it incentivizes grouping up. One nigger with a farro shooting a solo in the back gives them a massive advantage. One nigger with a farro shooting a dude in the back is dead if he has a buddy.
>>545188587Yeah all the big bots have a ton of different pieces to loot. The bastion has like 10 and you have to climb around it to get to all of them. I think the leaper is like 5 interactables or something.
ngl im having a lot of fun and our generals have been comfy too
>>545188665God damn, brother, you're playing a meta game on top of a meta game. You're treading uncharted territory here lmao, good luck.
found a silencer 2 blueprint now i can comfy run ferros and team with randos
>>545188993Oh well, thanks for the info brother.
>>545188717>You can do that. If you're smart about it nobody will ever see youOhhhhhh right ninja style
I fucking died with good gear because a cockroach the size of my hand flew trough my window and i had to fight it
>>545189750Did you win or is this the roach posting now
>>545188348The game's an anomaly right now where most solo matches are coop pve. Loot's easy to get, robots are oppressive, there's little reason to fight each other. I've gone entire nights without pvp while constantly bumping into people. If you get the drop on someone and say hi over mic they'll almost always be chill on mic back. I don't know if that'll last but they said the friendliness of the tech test was a fluke, then the friendliness of the server slam was a fluke, now release is even friendlier. The devs did a lot to incentivize teaming.
>>545189560>>545188348m8 I'm so anti-gank I killed a bitch in my party who was bragging about a camp he did. I form a group almost every game and most of the people in there PvP is just a necessary threat, not unlike the NPCs but a little spicier. When you're on your own you'll get bushed in the ass and it will completely suck. But if you can get on mic you can have some great PvE games because the gankniggers won't dare to engage in a 2v1.
havent found any blueprints all day
>>545187885Its a quest reward from Celeste later on I believe. I have that one currently. I'd check but I'm cooking dinner and not playing currently.My skinfu is behind a paywall. Sad
Very rarely have I had a kerfuffle and looted anything of worth. Solo anyway, teams is a different story.
>>545190245>I'm so anti-gank I killed a bitch in my party who was bragging about a camp he did.in a game with no traditional friendly fire, how?
>>545189980And it's a real pleasure to have it be friendly, speaking of, we got a new thread cooking? Got a couple of questions to ask and I want the visibility for more answers
>>545190245I will though. I am a ganknigger and I will kill you in a 1v2.
>>545189918Roach leader here that was only our scout. The vanguard subdued him and we're holding for ransom.
I'm going to put two trigger grenades on an extract button and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
wait she was actually kinda cute?
>>545190759Nexon said "You can make a chink but it can't look like a goblin"
>>545190413In solos everyone's friendly fire>>545190464Sure you will. After 50 hours (probably ~20 of them in ad hoc group) I haven't seen 1 attempt. Show up and stake your claim mr big dick.
feels like there are so many flying enemies on the blue hills
>>545187885>>545190356My mistake, the blue color is from celeste, not sure where the green one comes from.
tarkov rat here coming in hot
I uhhh... accidentally trapped a hornet and a wasp inside one of the extracts. Whoever's gonna extract next is gonna have a nice surprise.
>>545190915You just haven't seen me yet. You know how many 1v2s I've rammed my head into? You know how many I've won? Like 1 maybe 2 but I'll still keep doing it.
>>545185059stitcher is bis for people playing on console/controllers who autistically insert high capacity mags into them. Kettle is the thinking mans bis for pvp without having to spend a fortune on high-end materials for blue+ weapons.also the tranny-janny who 'warned' me for racism earlier can do us, his disappointed family, and the world a favour and fucking neck himself k? thx.>>545185619apparently you gotta troon out in the groomercords to find reliable groups to do it
>>545191174You sound like the least gay KOS player.
They should add a bounty system to the game so we could get paid for killing all those dickheads who shoot you inside extraction points. This would fall in line with the game's lore of raiders being supposed to unite against ARC. It was actually refreshing and unexpected for me to encounter people who wouldn't wanna PvP and just explore. Sadly these past couple of days I've been running into more and more people who shoot everything on sight and it's starting to feel like Fortnite meets the extractor genre.
I have not killed a single raider so far. Or rather, I did not even take a shot at one.
>friend and I try to take on a rocketeer for the first time>white weapons but upgraded>fail miserablyIt was at least smoking before it wrecked us
>>545186625i didn't see it, but i had a teammate swear on his mothers life that a leaper simply killed itself and exploded roaming around randomly. I have yet to kill any serious arc enemies and im nearly 30hrs in, its kinda annoying at this point. I need to get into that groomercord...>>545187634higher iqs tend to find the merits in cooperation. You're surrounded by turd world subhumans and they simply see a bag with loot walking around. There is also a big rng element. I can go all day in squad matches finding nothing but people who pvp on sight, to my last few missions where everyone was polite and communicated etc.
>>545173919>>545173803II actually got killed for exactly this reason last game, I can conceive it.
post em
>>545191731I just had a group of people team up in solos to take down another bastion
>>545190596I got a mine and put it on one of those super valuable arc probes with 3 slots of loot
>>545188665bro, you need to record your shit for posterity, that sounds fascinating. Trying to talk to different breeds of ape like that, right before they decide to shoot you, must make for damn riveting TV.>>545189252expensive mats, i only put it on special guns. >>545190527kek Asmon is rich you can make a fortune, all hail our roach overlords.
>>545191912
>>545187634I have a conspiracy theoryeither in-game weather has heavy effect on players' psycheor devs are picking the weather based on players murder factorbecause I swear every sunny game has been chill and every rainy game was no mic murderdome
>>545192213damn. i should do those trials on night mode so i can actually get 2-3 stars easier
I have a sneaking suspicion you get more purple loot drops if you already have a purple in your inventory.
>>545192262Rain makes it a lot easier to get the drop on someone/less likely to be third partied.
which shit do I dump points into before security lockers
>>545192262so you're saying on the initial start of the map, the PK-ratios of the players determines the weather of the map? wild theory lol. It'd be cool if it was true.>>545192213>51 questsjesus christ thats alot of grind.
i think spaceport is my favorite map. technically it would be blue gate but people are shitting me up all the time on that one, so I hate it.
>>545192470Idk man but you need that security locker it gives a blue or higher weapon like 90% of the time
>>545192470added weight capacity and the loot one above it. Apparently it doesnt get you more loot, it just helps you scan and identify loot faster, which can occasionally save your life.>>545192551blue gates my favourite to play on, but it doesnt feel dystopian enough for me, buried city has the best aesthetics i feel. If you're obsessed with aesthetics and theme, go buy the Forever Winter, the game is a bit of a mess, but the art is 11/10, a Beksinski painting at his darkest, in videogame form.
>>545192487>KOS NIGGER SPOTTEDKOS NIGGER SPOTTED>>545192470picrel of course. and max weight increase too
>>545192470weight good weight always good
>>545192759BRO EVERYONE IN TRIOS IS BLOODTHIRSTY im actually really nice...
i feel like the movement tree sucks donkey nuts.i want my points back.fuck, i VILL go on an expedition, won't i...
>>545192981oh trios, that makes sense.i stopped playing trios the moment i realized its just team deathmatch
>>545192982I wasn't really feeling the effects until I played with my buddy that went into the survival tree. I outpace him so fast it's insane. We start running somewhere and I'm there a few minutes before he is every time.
security locker just has too much shit that everything else is dogshit in comparison.
>>545193293i feel like people will eventually rush the security lockers on each map and it will be a pvp/camp shitfest
can I somehow track expedition shit
i have so many confiscation room keys but i always get clapped on blue gate, so I dont use them.
Anyone have any good uses for the Light Sticks?I like the visual effects and the lighting looks really good, but I just don't see a practical use at the moment.
this is a real mans loadout.
>>545193630they probably draw arc aggro
>>545193645whats with the tiny ass shield chargers
I hate to admit Tarkov did anything right, but climbing should be on space press, jumping should be on space release. It makes jumping a slightly learned skill since there's a tiny delay, but it makes climbing significantly more reliable.
>>545193779i only use those when im in trios
>>545192262just ran around with my mate and another group of 2 who also were doing the quests on blue gate, and it was rainingI think you're reading a bit much into it
which of the trinkets are safe to sell and which should be reserved for quests?
>>545192982all the talents are kinda weak outside of obvious ones like the crafting tree ones in survival, but when you're using them constantly the effect genuinely adds up.Having the speed and agility talents is huge for being able to chase and track down a fleeing player, they wont be able to escape you.>>545193630exposes campers i suppose?>>545193779i tried to use those but they're soo slow, the small rechargers are much more useful in active pvp scenarios.
>>545194729yea but you skin cats alive IRL and your mate is a rapist

There's zero balance, either you go red tree or you're trolling. And the stamina buff is a requirement to not get run down
1 to go.gotta farm those bombaclads for it though.whats the best map for this? one would think its buried city but I reckon that wont go too well
>>545197005Just stay near an extract, snipe a bombadier and throw lure nades inside/behind something where they can't instantly destroy it. They'll be preoccupied aiming at it
>>545196612i've been fiending for a game like that for however long i've been alive maybe it'll happen soon enough

I say on proximity chat that we've got a hostile third party, and my friend just starts blasting the friendlies before the third party takes us all out. We would have won that engagement

>>545196612Why make a good shooter game when you could make some slop phone gacha and make 10x the money?
>>545200245thats a gook bug mentality, they lack empathy so they make predatory games the based arc raider devs want to make a game, a game that is enjoyable and they have succeeded they can sleep at night knowing they aren't run of the mill devs who have 0 passion
>>545199862it's too bad there's not more customization, western devs are so shit at letting us personalize our characters, so often it's just presets and this game even has a low amount of presets
Does the crouching for stamina perk thing help a lot or no. There's no numbers so impossible to figure out
>>545199862I use the old man face

I like that not everyone in this game is a KOS player, there's been so many times when I've come across other squads, and we just loot an area together and then go out separate ways. Though I will say from a story standpoint it doesn't make sense why we'd even be killing each other, aren't we all from the same city?
>>545202432unless you plan on tapping 1 shot at a time, by then you'll have lost your surprise and you'll need to reload.

Though I will say from a story standpoint it doesn't make sense why we'd even be killing each other, aren't we all from the same city?it doesn't make sense at all, neither does 3-shotting a person with an anvil but it's not murder because you only punch the guy out. in my head it's amusing to frame the whole thing as everyone being from different enclaves all called speranza.

>>545201019based and same. Either old man + Blond zoomer fade or old man + blond afro because these are funny to me
bros i just used my mic for the first time and i havent been laughed at or anythingim literally shaking rn
stash maxed. finally i can play the game
>>545204335Wrong. Now you can go ARC hunting.
>>545203785Literally not even worth 400 seeds. You're a kike.
>>545203785>Value: 42,606>Raw seed value: 40,000
its peak
>>545204335>implyingnow you need to upgrade your workshop benches and scrappy.
no ARC ever called me goyim
>4 points in the crouch speed perk>crouch walking with friend who only has points in the yellow tree>barely faster than him, if at allDoes it only activate at 5 points or is it just fucking useless?
>>545202439Give it 1-3 weeks after people have largely finished the game.
>>545205089Nothing like a little profit
>>545205524In 1-3 weeks they'll have released a new map, items and quests. They're going to keep updating it you know
guys im getting horny from all the men using voice changers.
>max stash size>STILL fullI take all my best shit every round and yet I still come back with more, I haven't run a gun under level IV in ages
>>545205613And more arc, including the matriarch which sounds like a big queen type boss. The event sounds like a lengthy grindy project type thing. And anons forget how casual this game's playerbase is since we're all 30+ hour autists right now. The grind will go on for a long time.
>>545205626always make sure to nut in between raids so you remain unfazed
