Where can a nigga find medium gun parts blueprint? In the last 24 hrs, I have found like 8 bettina BPs but nothing else. What on earth is going on?
>>546198302Found a few bettina BPs and a torrente so far.
What are sentinels? The stationary turret guys? Big ones? Haven't seen a core from them yet.
is there an easier way to filter out items that are recyclable
Rough day at the office today
>>546198302medium gun parts BP is one of the rarer niche ones you will struggle to get, i havent seen one in 46 hours. I have light and heavy though.

>>546198302Think I found two todayMostly doing residential areasI still have them on me too, maybe I'll trade them for something
The trial may be retarded, but I will give it credit in that it had me the most tense I've been in a long time. Luckily I ran into a couple chill dudes who let me unlock the red room by myself and then fuck of, and there was apparently an absolute blood bath at the old fort that left its puzzle only 1/3 done.

Unless we get porn mods quick this general is doomed. The game is doing great but everyone is too busy playing it to make new threads so we need coomer autists who keep fresh bakes ready
>>546202695clever use of unintended gameplay mechanics until they get patched is one of the main reasons to play new games early
>>546202695I agree how joining as a random in their 'duo' I'm made an accomplice to their immense gluttony and greed. They stain me with their sins.
>>546203276I also use the AI girl voice when I take my estrogen. Get rekt widdle boy.
>>546203276>>546203561There are girls playing as boys also using the voice changer
>only way to solo kill rocketeer or leaper without a wolfpack is through map cheesegonna be real, the movements of the ai were really cool in the beginning, but the "tier 2" arc and their attacks are really starting to grate on me, especially since the difficulty between them is so disparatebomboclats and bastions are complete fucking pushovers, but leapers have this erratic ground shuffle movement that feels like its buggy and staggers you for some fucking reason if they get too close, and rocketeers are just impossible to dodge because their rocket timings are too shortlosing count of how many kits i've just up and fumbled because a wasp chain pulled a rocketeer, and i get locked in a edge-of-rocket-explosion stagger animation if i don't time the roll perfectly while running to cover, and there's no recovery time in between the rockets.i've played dark souls and rollslop plenty, and the roll in this game has so many downsides against ai that sometimes it might as well not even be there outside of dodging player grenades, which i have zero trouble doing.
>>546203945why you do you only bombardiers a retarded stupid ass name and call everything else by their normal name
>>546203828i got killed by a troon the other day, the voice changer was literally stuttering, and his awful voice was coming through in a very male way inbetween the long stutters, not that i was convinced to begin with. If your voice is too far different from the VC it may not work at all.Also the faggotroon who got triggered at me making fun of troons in this general last week, can you go 42% yourself now?
>>546203945rolling works thoughbeit also one of the mobility skills makes it so you don't consume stamina on roll after being hit, although i don't have it. https://streamable.com/li80o0streamable related

>>546203945Bastion and bomber should be buffed. Leaper too. And ALL of the small ones (besides pops who are fine as they are, maybe spawn a few more of them around)The only ARC that is an actual threat is the Rocketeer.
im about to fall for the fomo, is this game fun solo?
>>546204356Why don't you suck my balls you little bitch? No one likes complaining little cunts like you
>>546204335baiting for (You)s and it's what a lot of people call bombadiers because it's funny>>546204439the rolling works as it should in player fights, but it's a coin toss whether your roll will allow you to survive a rocketeer rocket>>546204647yeahoutside of getting caught in a wide open field with no nades, leapers at this point are just nuisances, but i've seen entire player fights just end and everyone up and leaves if a rocketeer gets pulled because they're just so unforgiving and deadly
>>546204891It's the best solo experience in the extraction shooter genre. Who would have guessed that adding a solo queue improves the solo experience?
>>546203945Leapers are trivial to fight if you bring some nades and aren't retarded, and a showstopper and a stack of trigger nades should be enough (or close enough). If you're repeatedly accidentally aggroing rocketeers while fighting other pve, that's probably an indication to be more mindful of your surroundings before fighting. Obviously you're not gonna be i-framing through attacks with your roll like in elden ring, because this isn't elden ring.
>>546205704Overall the game puts people on a pretty even playing field. Even as a rat you have a chance against geared people. Gear helps, but not to the point that you can just fuck around.
>>546205909>and a showstopper and a stack of trigger nades should be enough (or close enough) for rocketeers.whoops
PVP is pretty fun. The effects and sounds of getting hit and shield breaks are pretty satisfying. Wiping a squad with well placed traps makes you feel like a 400IQ genius. Getting shot in the back is fucking gay though.>>546205083>>546204647I agree that they mostly all need buffs but most of the ARCs can actually be pretty deadly in that any of them can absolutely fuck your day up if it sneaks up on you while you're fighting a player. I've seen a wasp turn an entire teamfight around by stunning someone at the worst time. Hell, I've seen a pop do the same to a team fleeing through the wrong door. Giving the bigger ARCs ways to catch players unaware could be all they need
gamer tip: you dont need showstoppers. Hornet Drivers stun ARC for the same amount of time. The only difference is the radius is smaller (which doesnt matter if you hit the ARC directly anyways) and the stun on players is shorter
Smoke nades are godly.
I recently learned that this game's devs are Swedish, and i am now very concerned that they're going to pull the Swede dev special where they keep making the game shittier with every patch by adding a bunch of unfun bullshit nobody likes until the game inevitably dies
>>546206550Helldivers 2 was already shit at release bro'
>>546205909>*repeats what was said about leapers* + don't pull themobviously, but getting fucked by a wasp+hornet patrol respawn in the middle of a field while a rocketeer is approaching isn't really a situational awareness problem so much as it is really bad luck>Obviously you're not gonna be i-framing through attacks with your roll like in elden ring, because this isn't elden ring.i said nothing about i-frames. the "timing" i mentioned was rolling to where you are just outside the blast and are able to recover from your roll without getting staggered and immediately do it again because there is no break between the rockets like what the hornet does
gamers?
>>546198302>>546199221I actually have found it 3 times, all from the hidden guncase underneath the broken topside bridge on damI could give you one of them, if you want
>>546208186Yuh
kill... me...
>>546208186i'm level 56, probably there in about 4-5 days.
Weather conditions make the game so much better.No rats spotting you from 1000km away to stalk you. No free kits wasting your meds popping you from 500km with their ferro for no reason.Way less visibility on flares so half the map doesnt rush into fights.Also comfy
so I can't get any blueprints or fun loot from the queen, just queen cores?I have to do the harvester hole thing for those?
>>546208835Weather conditions do the oppositeRats know the routes, so all they do is lie in wait and ambush you when you are on your way to lootIn normal weather you can quickly see and react to them, but in rain they have the advantageWhat, you telling me you are going to press V and walk to your next POI?
The only way I ever get bombadier kills is by making peace with everyone in the area. Then everyone swarms in to loot it. 4 cells in 3 kills.
>>546209079I had some dudes kill a bombardier on a hidden bunker map and then nobody looted it so I just took all the cells
>>546208862You get the yellow gun BPs from the harvester and the cores to build them with from the queenThats itI heard they are the best anti ARC weapons in the game, but idk for sure
>destroy any arc enemy using a fireball burnerWtf does this mean
>>546208835>>546209049Looking forward to seeing how the snowy condition changes things. If it's a bright sunny snow covered map then everyone will be insanely visible
fuck this game im installing cheats rn
>>546209245destroy any arc using a fireball burner
>>546209079I just used two wolfpacks and looted mine for the station upgradesStarted getting shot at by a rat, but thankfully the arc got on his ass while i popped a smoke and continued looting
>>546209245Kill the spheres and loot the burner then throw it at more spheres. I forget which drop the burner but just keep killing them.
>>546209410>I forget which drop the burnerThe ones that burn youSeems pretty intuitive, no?
>>546209560I associate them both with burning but yeah the flame thrower dudes make more sense to focus on.
>>546209245a lot of the arc cores double as quick slot items. the fireball burner is basically a blaze grenade with a much smaller radius than the blaze grenadethere's two types of rollerball-type indoor tier 1 arc. one is unarmored, white and with a ring around it. that's a pop. it explodes when it gets close. the other is a black armored sphere. it opens when it gets close to you and shoots fire. that's a fireball. kill it, avoid the fire it leaves when it dies, loot the fireball burner, and use the fireball burner on a tick and you'll get it very easily.
>she doesnt know how to one shot the queenngmi sis
>>546209878fire mine
>>546209049I dont get this logic.You can do that in clear weather. And when I get shot in the rain I just duck into cover and run somewhere else, and the other player has a very hard time tracking where I ran off to unlike clear weather
>>546209929shit i didnt realize you guys saw it last thread
>>546209878Wait I wasnt going to do this but the XP makes me want to now
>have daily to kill arc with medium weapons>also need one more hornet driver for level 2 workbench>spawn into dam swamps>wander around collecting plants for green medkits>search the apartments>someone was here already, but I found a humidifier>kill the hornet that I need>move to extract>someone else called it first>a player and a crawling downed player are moving to extraction>announce that I'm friendly and want to extract with them>the crawler bleeds out on the ramp>the survivor spends an eternity looting the corpse>the survivor asks me if I want to help him kill the rocketeer>my reply is: "this elevator automatically departs in 10 seconds">he stares at me for a few moment>he steps out of the door and aggros and shoots at a distant rocketer>the doors start to raise and he hurries to get back inside>he doesn't get back insideok
>>546209964>I dont get this logic.When you move from place to place you sprint, no?You are very easy to spot, even in rain, if you sprintOn the other hand, the ambusher will be practically invisibleAnd thats not even taking into consideration any mines or remote detonation bombs he might have placed which would be a lot harder to spot>I can just run in cover>Implying you'll make it into cover

>>546207963In what world do you equate "map cheese" and "bring some nades and don't be retarded"? You don't need to hide in a doorway to kill leapers consistently. If anything, you hide in the doorway to mitigate the threat of getting fucked up by a third party.>getting fucked by a wasp+hornet patrol respawn in the middle of a field while a rocketeer is approaching isn't really a situational awareness problem so much as it is really bad luckThat's a pretty specific and rare situation that should not be happening to you very often. Regardless, there's plenty of utility you can bring that should make surviving that sort of thing pretty easy beyond just rolling and praying. Getting caught out in the open by a rocketeer should be punishing if you're not prepared. The roll is fine to dodge one or two rockets (not saying it's easy, but it's doable), but the real problem is the fact that you are gonna spend all your stamina doing so. It's not something that's gonna bail you out of that sort of situation, even if the rocketeer shot timing was a bit more forgiving. The comparison to soulsborne rolls just becomes more asinine the more I think about it.
>>546209204Then it sounds like without the blueprints the best thing is getting the kill credit for the Queen kill xp.
>>546206550you should be more concerned that their arms get twisted by the chinese. that manifested into enough issues in the finals.
>>546209204I watched someone in solos try to kill the queen with the beam lmg, shit was almost entirely silent and I barely knew he was there other than the queen firing. I think he gave up because of the timer though
>>546210661.
how do you roll in this game? I just started and i've tried looking through the controls but I don't see any keybind for rolling
>>546207963>>546210661You can just walk away from rocketeers and only run when you hear/see a shot coming, no need for rolling
how 'hard' is the harvester puzzle? Is it like the other 'puzzles' where you insert batteries into holes?
Not that hard, just a bit annoying with all the fire constantly forcing you out
>>546211208it's hard in the since that it's a gear check. the tubes is the easy part, but destroying all the targets that pop up around the harvester is nearly impossible with certain frigger loadouts. like, just surrender and go next if you spawn in with a rattler>>546211419also this
>>546211085Concession accepted>>546211181Yeah, but usually under pressure it's hard to be mindful enough to do that, and I'm usually close enough to cover that sprinting is worth it.
>>546211208>>546211460Bring the vulcano if you want a really easy time with the yellow weakpoints, just make sure you have ~50 rounds and preferably a green mag
Reminder to bring a barricade if you are doing the harvester so you can have some cover from rats when you have to step outside for the fire
>>546211208It's just a bit tedious and mentally taxing if you're solo (and haven't done it before). With two people who have a general idea of what's going on, it's a breeze.
>>546211549>under pressureYou can avoid so many of the drones by walking more and running less to trigger them or lose aggro extremely fast. I'm glad more people don't calm down when ai starts swarming
>>546204356so funny that this game's reddit community is full of troons. Troons have insane amounts of aggression from the hormones fucking with their mental state though, so it actually makes sense
>>546211772Sure, but there's a difference between walking behind a rocketeer and walking away from one that's actively mad at you.
Found this guy T-posing.
>>546212151It happens
>>546208426That's very kind of you but I played a few rounds w/ a friend and now I'm in bed. Maybe I'll send out the signal tomorrow with the same cat .gif if there is time in my day
>>546210661>In what world do you equate "map cheese" and "bring some nades and don't be retarded"?i didn't. 99% of my complaints are directed at rocketeers. the way i worded the original post is confusing, so ill take the L there.the leapers have a specific staggering effect if a leg brushes against you that can make the pulse hard to escape from, and the legs can move in weird, buggy-looking ways to where it can happen repeatedly. im not talking about their pulse attack that's easy to dodge. outside of that i don't have issues with it. see >>546205083>That's a pretty specific and rare situation that should not be happening to you very often.it's happened twice, specifically on blue gate. while rare, it does happen.>The comparison to soulsborne rolls just becomes more asinine the more I think about it.the comparison is probably bad ultimately, but it would just be nice if it was a little bit more effective at preventing the stagger. that's all im saying.agree to disagree at this point. i'll git gud after a rekit.
>someone starts shooting at me and then says, "you shot first"God I fucking wish I could lie through my teeth like these niggers
>>546213021Fair anonI am an europoor so its pretty late here as well
>>546213152genuinely think that games like this are where psychopaths go to practice slight-of-hand without going to prison, and they should exist because it gives them an outlet that would otherwise only be satisfied by killing people irl
I found my niche. I found my purpose. I found the meaning of the raider’s life.The solo sheriff life. It’s not easy to kill a man. You take everything he’s got, and everything he could’ve had.I jump in. Listen for sounds, gun shoots, flares going up. I investigate. I’m here to help, fight the arcs. Any arcs. I’ll pick you up, patch you up. I’ll kill murderers, Judge Dredd style. No mercy. I never killed a man that didn’t need killing.You can have the loot. My reward is justice.Join me. Against the arcs, for humanity.Make a difference. Enlist. Resist. Fight the good fight. BECOME A TOPSIDE SHERIFF!
>>546211960I've been KOS by quite a few dudes with literal troon accounts. Its so fucking funny.
>>546213152Who are they even lying to?If you are alone, whats the point of lying to your face like that, a poor attempt at gaslighting?What, they think they are going to convince you that you imagined them shooting you, then shot then out of sheer delusion?
>>546213152Crying out in pain as they strike you is a the sign of a jew, not a nigger.
>>546213401it's not easy being this based
How long do you predict the game and general will survive?
>>546210478>you sprintno, I don't
>>546211170left alt, it takes up like half your stamina. i bind it to V.
>>546213401I think I played with you once. Were you doing the EMP quest on Dam a few nights ago and had a lady raider guiding you through it?
sliding > rolling
>>546213890So you just crawl at a snail's pace from location to location?
>>546213152>>546213346>>546213445>>546213672They lie to other people who come near the fight. I shouted in anger that I was innocent! They lie and say I was the dog that needed to die. It's sickening.
>>546213775worst case scenario it will be as popular as hunt showdown as population declines
>doing Night Raid at Dam Battlegrounds>last 10 minutes >extraction point closest to me is going to close in 50 seconds >run over to it just as some other guy calls it in >can't see where he is but I hide and wait>leaper literally right on the extraction >elevator comes up >run to it and instantly aggro the Leaper >it desperately claws at me while I close the elevator >I'm yelling to the guy to get inside quickly >elevator closes just before he can roll in>hear the Leaper attacking him as the door shuts fully Kek, sorry bro. Thanks for the extract though
>>546213035>the leapers have a specific staggering effect if a leg brushes against you that can make the pulse hard to escape from, and the legs can move in weirdI won't deny that Leapers definitely have more than their fair of jank to them (I've lost count of how many of them I've seen kill themselves after falling into the hole behind the control tower). I guess it's just not an issue I've had much experience with because my strategy is to keep my distance to bait it's big jump in and then throw a bunch of nades on it after it commits.>it's happened twice, specifically on blue gateWell, I guess if there was gonna be a map for that to happen on, it'd have to be blue gate.>it would just be nice if it was a little bit more effective at preventing the stagger. that's all im saying.I understand, and I don't necessarily even disagree completely, but the pve is ultimately already so imbalanced/non-threatening depending on your level of knowledge that I think it would be kinda sad if the one consistently threatening arc was nerfed to be less punishing. I'm definitely interested to see what direction the devs take the different aspects of the game going forward.>>546213152It's honestly kind of alarming that this is something I've encountered multiple times. I get it if you're doing it to convince a third party of your innocence, but when it's just us, it's weird.
>>546213775i give it one more monththere's a 6-8 week hype cycle for games like this, fueled almost entirely by streamersa friendslop game will release, an anemic streamer will stream it with his cast of regular friends that has a token girl, and the mob will move to the next one>>546214104>hunt showdownwatching that game decay has been a ride through all the stages of griefalso, crytek has always been a grossly incompetent studio that was desperate for cryengine to be the next unreal and failed miserably. KCD2 was a good showcase of what it's capable of, but so few outside studios touch it otherwise that it feels like they're running on fumes and whatever pennies the stockholm syndrome players of hunt are throwing at them.
>>546214434>I've lost count of how many of them I've seen kill themselves after falling into the hole behind the control towerLeapers take fall damage?
>>546214716No, they just get stuck on random map geometry and explode. I presume they can "crash" like flyers sometimes do. I've also seen one do it on a grove of evergreeens on dam.
>>546213937Oh I see I skimmed past it because it's called dodge roll sorry i'm blind. I rebound it to one of my side buttons on my mouse, thanks for that
>>546214716kind of. i think landing on their feet or any armored part mitigates fall damage, but they will take damage from falling if they're missing a leg and armor around their core (i think), but they can absolutely they can take rapid damage if they glitch out on geometry>>546214965this
is this game unc friendly
>>546215219unc friendly? it's practically an unc gamethe only people ive met that were kos faggots have been literal children or nomics that were probably children in a discord vc. i've met tons people of just trying to be chill and kill robots that all sound well-adjusted and gainfully employed. level 45 primarily solo with full tier 3 workshop btw
>>546213401>I'm here to helpEquivalent of "I cheat to beat the cheaters" except you don't ever know who's truly in the wrong.
>>546215590that's reassuring. i am interested in game but i hate getting dunked on by children and hearing them heckle me on mic
>>546215219its already a casual variant of the extraction genre
If you hear an Indian voice coming from a Raider, shoot immediately. Never met a jeet that wasn't some backstabber
>>546215590I'm assuming you have crossplay off, I run into alot of underageb&s and basketball americans with the constant open mic and smoke alarm chirpsthe solution is obviously to turn crossplay off, but some part of me enjoys the gacha
>get shot at>fighting my attacker>"SHERIFF" shows up and the attacker says I'm the bad guy>they both murder meSick fucks
>>546215219For about the next 2-3 or so weeks yea. You got about that time until the cheaters and kosniggers chase off all the casuals right around the time they'll start getting invested in holidays time and never com back so all that's left is cheaters and sweats like Tarkov.

For the guy who asked yesterday about the tactical mk3 defensives integrated surge shield recharger, it's a 2 minute cooldown with no durability loss or anything. Also, fuck the desync, this shit is atrocious
I like watching people in this game. I follow them around, creeping through buildings behind them. They don't know I'm there but I am. They're so interesting. Some even talk to themselves with their open mics. I wouldn't hurt them. Oh no. I just like seeing them make decisions and scamper about. Sometimes I shoot down bots for them so they know someone is watching but I don't reveal myself afterwards. They change after that. Relieved at first but when there's no response they get flighty. But I'd never hurt my special little raiders. Not my ones.
>>546217000They did the fist reload animation exclusively so you can say something to the person you're about to body, right?
>>546217170
>>546217170I do this all the time too. It's often better than engaging. I hide in high contest buildings all the time if i hear someone moving around. I sneak everywhere. The crouch speed buff skill is my best friend. I also sneak into extraction points last second and only make myself known once they're already closing the doors
>>546217000Wait did you have a trip grenade on the roof of that door
im level 20 and i feel like i still dont know wtf im doing, how do i get more blueprints?
>>546215814>>546216124the only time i was genuinely pissed off at kids in this game was one time on buried city that caused me to turn off crossplay>with a friend with poor man's kits (stitcher 2s with looting augments)>just going to go to galleria to harvest the mulliens and get out>hear footsteps on roof>"hey, we hear you up there, don't want any trouble, just here for the weed">friend laughs, but no response from the other team>suddenly, he gets domed and nearly downed>get chased halfway across the map while trying to patch him up and telling the two fags we don't have shit besides plants>eventually friend gets downed, and get pushed to corner of map>down his friend as he's coming around a building>as im shooting the downed guy to try and get a second weapon from him without going through knock out animation, get domed yet again and get downed myself>dude runs up, says over voice "gg" unironically in the most unfeeling school boy voice before knocking me out>both had full kit with ferro IVs and wasted 10 minutes hunting us like elephantszero voice interaction outside of a single "gg". they play the game like its og fortnite and have no sense of decorum. i'd even take the most heinous trash talking over saying nothing and then pretending the fight was fair.
>>546217430Six niggas diving into an extract as you start closing the door fucks me up every time. I'm usually really cautious but I just know they were all watching me the whole time.
>>546217778Me running into the extract yelling "I'M JUST EXTRACTING BRO DON'T MIND ME" as the door is closing
>killed an extract camper during a night raid >aggro'd a Rocketeer nearby >it knocks me down>elevator was already called and I was able to get home safely stillBeing able to close the doors while down is a god send. Same as the ARCs leaving downed raiders alone for some reason
The Anvil gets my knob swinging. Fuck is that one amazing vidya weapon
>downed near the extraction>manage to limp my way over and call the elevator>bleed out waiting on itaiiiie this was only like my fourth match I didn't realise it was going down so fast, at least I put my quest item in my safe pocket but losing my rattler 3 sucks
honestly weapons that one shot or halve your shield should have their damage reduced. it just shits all over guns for peeking, cept for vene because thats busted, and really lame to basically be two tapped.
>level 36 and still have barely hunter Rocketeers, Leapers, or BastionDo I need to do this shit with a squad or is it possible solo? I'm worried of getting ganked by drawing noise, or not having enough firepower
>>546214040no I jog and walk sometimes. i rarely sprint unless I need to or the distance is really, really far. no, i don't get caught out often
>>546218327Rattler sucks huge balls anyway dude.
>>546218403It is insane to pop people in 2 shots
>>546215219Level 10 newfag. Right now solos on day maps have been pretty tame, although I have seen two player killers on Buried City. I've heard that team play is pretty hostile though.
>>546218579yeah, i feel like it should do like 3 maybe 4 to a green shield and then little more for the higher shields. just damage all around is kinda crazy for the guns imo. though i guess maybe they dont want super long ttk but it still feels weird they have these guns that can two shot people basically.
>>546218532getting ganked is always a very real possibility, but firepower is easyfor bastion, bring like six snap blasts and smack its ass whenever it shows it to you, same for bombadierleapers bring a few blaze grenades, it meltsrocketeers bring some wolfpacks or find a place with good cover and get ready to plink at it
>>546218403The Anvil is perfect as is and shouldn't be changed in any way. Maybe MAYBE changed to a blue. That's it
>>546218532it's possible to do these solo. you just need enough utility to do it fast and to loot it up. smokes and wolfpacks are all you need. maybe bring the hullcracker if you want
>>546218907How to efficiently use smokes? Do I stay in the smoke for a while and run? Or drop them at my feet and book it elsewhere?
>>546200736i know, but I have so much shit in my stache im constantly capped out at 280/280.I'm dropping in with purples because I need to get rid of them. I had more fun gathering stuff.
Can someone link that phone mic thing again? I cant find my fucking splitter cable needed for my mic and it's so tiny I feel like im going to have to tear up my room to find it. For now ill use the phone like a poorfag
WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS MENTION SOLO HIDDEN BUNKER IS COMFY PVE MODE
>>546218837Well, the guns are primarily designed to kill armored robots with thick steel plating. They SHOULD tear apart a Raider. I like how quick and brutal fights are with other people.
>>546219101we have been saying it since the day it came out
>>546219101I haven't done hidden bunker, but I thought everyone and their mother was swarming it the other day? That's what I recall people in the threads saying.
>>546218532Tian Wen sells a hullcracker every single day, as long as you dont die you can farm so much money with it that it pays for itself like 8x over. Just make sure you have a very good sidearm for pvp, since the hullcracker is worthless against players.
>>546219101Idk but they need to add more shit like this to deter PvPfags>>546219240. Even if it means there's inevitably a couple itchy trigger fingers when looting afterwards
>>546219240>since the hullcracker is worthless against playersWhy is that?
>>546219343deals no damage to players
>>546219343It only explodes when it touches Arc. It doesnt even explode if it hits walls or buildings.
>>546218559yeah but this early on I don't have much choice
>>546219384>>546219403Ah, I see. Thanks.
someone killed my with a rattler 1 when I was fighting a bastion with my hullcracker 4...
Hatches should not be disabled in all of the special eventsAlso other maps besides space port need map specific events
The player encounters in this game are unlike any experience I've had in vidya. Is this the appeal of extraction shooters?
>get the drop on a guy with a ratller>unload all 22 of my burletta bullets>he downs meehhhh
>field crate feat
>>546219598I was pretty annoyed to find out hatches don't work during hidden bunker.
Bobcat or Vulcano as a sidearm for a Ferro?
is there a way to reset skill points or is everything unlockable eventually? I fear I made some bad choices
>Stitcher level 4>Anvil level 4 >blue loot kitYep, it's raiding time.
>>546219101It's literally gonna become the dedicated trials lobby. I have come across a single psycho who gunned me down for access to the security breach in departure, but as long as you're in/around the bunker or en route to any dish, it's literally co-op mode.
>>546219981why blue loot kit when purple loot kits are dirt cheap? Only 3 processors per one and you get 3 assholes
>>546219874just follow their sounds
>>546219691Kinda. This one is quite unique in that people generally won't kill you on sight. Actually this fact alone makes it a completely different experience to every other extraction shooter.
A trio of niggers in solo queue just killed me. Took two of them down. The surviving nigger fucked up and executed one of his rat bastard buddies instead of me.
>>546220168>>546219101Wait, the what now? I didn't know about this event. What makes it cooperative?
Hidden bunker is absolutely broken for bombardier and bastion cells.Whole map is just wiping them out together
where the FUCK is a guaranteed bastion nd bombardier spawn? I need to upgrade my benches>>546219957you will need to complete an expedition to reset your skill treeit gives you 5 more points if you have enough shit in your stash toobut it also resets most other things meaning you'll have to regrind worksop upgrades, find all your blueprints again, etc
Rocketeers are the single most deadly enemy in the game and it isn't even close. You can't run away from them, and you can't hide anywhere outside.
>>546220447bro it is literally free besides a fuckload of arc everyone was chillin
G suit players should be banned
>>546219691The only other one I've played is Hunt, which is very different. But generally I'd say that yes, a big appeal of the genre is the variance in player interactions you can have.>>546219874Protip: Do blue gate at night/storm, rush the red room and grovel at the feet of anyone you come across to try and convince them to let you put all the batteries in. Then book it to old fort and pray nobody did the puzzle there. Should be much more consistent than trying to do field depots, although it's still gonna suck.
>>546219101We didI think it's pretty cringe honestly, bunch of dude walking around doing their chores for 45 minutesPeople like it rn because it's free trial and free loot but I can see it become dogshit to run
What is the comfiest map and why is it blue gate at night?
>>546220174>only 3 processorshard to come by unless you are actively going for them
>>546220447Mainly that the first step is more or less impossible to do on your own, as well as that nobody actually knows what to do in the bunker aside from farming exp from the downloads. Also, a lot of the current trials are related to it, so everyone is incentivized to be peaceful because you need to successfully extract for the trial to count.
>>546220626How often do they happen? I have to get off for the night so I can wageslave in the morning
>>546220887I've got like a billion of them. What else are you going to loot?
How do I get started as a solo player
>>546220720>>rush the red room>>Then book it to old fort and pray nobody did the puzzle there. Is it bad that I am level 40 and don't know what any of this means
>>546220587use your utility items.people need to stop dropping in without any of them>>546220956uuuh metal i guess. idk, i just kill people and look for blueprints nowadays
>>546221051click on "launch">>546220882blue waffle at night is so dark in some regions you cant see ANYTHING.and the flashlight is useless too with its 2m range
>>546220887Literally got 3 on a single dam electrical run
>>546221051Go in a raid and loot shitDo a free loadout if you're scared
Is there a strat that's best for exp?
>>546221105If you haven't spent much time on Blue Gate, not particularly (or consumed any guides). They're both just places that have puzzles involving delivering three carriable objects. Old Fort is marked on the map, but the red room is in Reinforced Reception. I'd honestly recommend looking up a guide and having the interactive map up so you can see the possible battery spawns if you feel like trying it.
If im going to do the map puzzles for the first time should I drop in with a free loadout to get a feel for what to do? Or maybe downgrade to gear I don't mind losing? I've been avoiding learning that cool shit because I convince myself it'll end badly
Once again, freekits should be "hairpin kits", and they should have an identifiable skin so that you know that they're a freekitnigger.
>>546221352kill big arcloot big arc (every limp etc. gives phat looting xp)
>>546221352If you can do the bugged Queen kill it's like 50,000xpotherwise, just kill all arc and loot all containers. Can get around 10k xp a game. I'm going to be experimenting with spamming snitch nades and wolfpacks.
>still malding over freekitGODS
>>546218029>Same as the ARCs leaving downed raiders alone for some reasonI headcanon that ARCs were programmed to only kill upright people and the moment they go on all 4s the bots mistake them for wildlife and leave them be
not sure what I expected desu
Why run free kits when you can easily craft greenslop and whiteslop and have more ammo and a stash spot?
>>546221440just use the cheapo green looting augment and a basic loadout just like the freekit. this way you get a safe pocket for a blueprint you might come across
>>546221837>kettleGODim a controller chud and my controller has a rapid fire function built in. it turns the kettle into a full auto gun and its great
>>546222030that's called cheating
This freekitter refused to leave my locked room. He was waiting for me to loot a security locker to attack me. I told him to leave. Why the fuck would he come into someone's unlocked loot room? I told him to leave
>>546221865because i only use gear i find in raid and whenever i die i start over with a free kit
Why use Kettle over Stitcher? Anvil for distance engagements and Stitcher for close quarters
>>546222221Kettle is technically better than the stitcher if you can fire it fast enough. With a simple macro, its basically a stitcher.
>someone dies on top of the hidden bunker>say I have a defib and run up to rez him>player B standing over him like he might execute>player A says B shot him to death and needs to die>shoot B down>player B now says A was being suspicious and needed to die>B is using an AI female voicePhew I thought I'd have to make a tough moral choice there.
>>546222086Sot of console fags seemingly forgot that modded controllers is still cheating
>>546222086nah its called leveling the playing field. aim assist is basically non existent in this game so my full auto kettle is fine as a compromise>>546222221sure, but if you want a do-it-all budget build with one gun only, the kettle wins.pro tip: if someone in front of you starts magdumping, do a dodge roll and he will likely miss at least 1/3 of his stitcher mag and wont be able to kill you. then, you can just fuck him up.people need to stop standing there like walls and tank all hits
>nah its called leveling the playing fieldwhatever makes you sleep at night, cheater
>mouse cheater complaining about ANYthingheh
The niggers in this game make me want to become a serial killer. Dude was dying to arc, I help him out, he dont shoot emotes at me, immediately begins popping me in the back of the head with an anvil as soon as I'm in an open area with no cover>by the time i turn to face him i've already taken a second shot and i can't outdps himFUCKING FUCK NIGGER FUCK ILL KILL YOU IN REAL LIFE YOU SON OF A BITCH
>>546215219If you play solos its pretty chill and easy-going. In duos/trios its more pvp-oriented which is fine.
>trigger elevator>aggro rocketeer>start extract>get downed by rocketeer>because i am now downed, the rocketeer thinks i am some sort of harmless baby deer and stops shooting me.>extract without any further issue as a would-be extract camper gets obliterated by triple rocket from rocketeer
holy shit, i just got dropped in the most violent KOS lobby in my last 100 extractions. there were kills all around me and freaks chasing me. the last guy i blasted said he was trailing me for minutes
Gentlemen, I want to share this clip with you. A trio of rats were nigging up buried city solo queue. Regretfully I could not kill all three when they jumped me like the violent apes that they are. But it is worth it because I have this clip to share with you. Also I finally found a dog collar and it was safely secured in my ass.https://files.catbox.moe/wx0fw3.webm
>>546222149wrong picturebut anyhow name a SINGLE reason a player needs to be in MY LOOT room. They have no business in there. He kept trying to distract me and said 'Go ahead and loot bro I'll watch your back" Lies and deceit of the highest level. I said "Leave right now. Please leave." and he still stood there saying he couldn't hurt me.
>>546222816Its funny because if you get seriously aggrod at extraction and down after the elevator has been called, you're literally safer since the ARCs will work as some sort of body guards while you crawl your ass inside and go home
>>546222825All those kills and basically nothing of worth to show for it. Just goes to show you that looting chads win over PVP virgins.
>>546222926He violated the NAP. He doesn't deserve sympathy. You told him to leave. That was above and beyond what is expected of you. His life was forefeit the moment that he saw the unlocked loot room and decided to try his luck.
>>546223050i almost never pvp, they all attacked me. I AM THE ONE WHO LOOTS
>>546219914Either, the key is to replace ferro with a renegade
>>546221051make sure your Survival skill tree ends up exactly like this
That was really boring
WTF JUST HAPPENED?
>>546219914Bobcat is betterBut really you want Venator for performance and Stitcher for price
>>546223831slipped on banana peel
AAAIIIIEEEEEEEEEE I WAS PUT IN KOS QUEUE
>>546222221Because you can miss more than 1 shot with the kettle and still kill someone without reloading. You miss at all with the stitcher and you are fucked
has anyone tried to queue solo with a friend?
>bro the stitcher is op>bro the anvil is op>bro the renegade is op>bro the venator is opin 2 days nobody will talk about the venator because the streamers will make videos about a NEW op gun
>>546224291>watching streamersShiggy
>>546220853we did all the downloads and farmed bastions together it was cozy as fuck>>546220947it was on last night too but I didn't know it was so kino
The fuck is up with Botanical Gardens and murderhobos? Every time i go there there's like 3 people shooting eachother, jolt mines around corners. People really like to go there for PvP
If anyone still needs one, lmk
>female raider Easy KOS

>>546224089i made it out
Man i'm 58 hours in and i'm genuinely starting to limit my playtime because i just know i'm almost done with the quests. I also have no itention of doing the expedition. I guess i could also try to grind trials to extend my playtime or something

>>546224738I still need an anvil blueprint, but I think that the only things of any value that I can offer in exchange are a jolt mine blueprint or dog collar.
>>546225641yeah shits unironically garbage. last pug trio i did the two no mics extracted without pinging or telling me they were going to.
THE RATStealthy and non-confrontational playstyle: This is often seen in extraction shooters or other games where players try to avoid all conflict. These players "just sneak around trying to avoid pvp and just loot,"Camping or exploiting players: A more negative interpretation of a "rat player" is one who waits in a hidden spot to ambush others. This can involve camping near an extraction point or a valuable loot location to get an easy kill and take the victim's gear.
>>546225374>Streamers accounts are automatically in the high karma MMR. I'm up there too so I do the same thing, run around in the open with my flashlight on and never get shot.is this actually a thing?

>>546227720Generally speaking I find if you take the main menu (as in with your character standing there with "PLAY" selected in the top left) and add ~15 - 20% to your frames there, that's what you'll get most of the time ingame. Obviously that can vary but it mostly seems to very by the environment you're looking at, not what's actually happening

Has anyone tried various spatial audio methods with this game?Dolby Atmos, windows Sonic, DTX-whatever it’s called etc. ?
>>546228463>dupegib
Found the splitter and silencer in a key room on Dam. Tried out the splitter on a hornet. Couldn't kill it. Guess it turns the anvil into more of a close range pvp weapon? Hipfiring felt pretty decent.
>>546228671actually it's the sixth I've gotten (^:
I just realized that i still havent actually tried the grappling hook despite having the bp, many extras and even having brought it into a dozen+ runs
>>546228746Anything you want in exchange if you are willing to trade it?
what do i need to know before my first game? is the first one a freebie or what?
The grappling hood is nice. Let’s you jump from tall building and then grapple the ground to avoid fall damage
>>546228930If you're in solos, bind the button for proximity chat. If you're on PC with crossplay disabled, a surprisingly high percentage of players are willing to avoid PvP confrontations if you just announce that you're friendly. Like, easily more than 95% of them. It's unreal.You can use free-loadouts when queueing up if you want to avoid losing anything or are just down on your luck and need to farm some $$$ with zero risk. However a budget loadout with a normal "augment" (backpack) gives you a safe pocket that you can use to preserve an item in the event that you die.The Ferro is your friend vs ARC. Aim for the engines on the small drone ARCs. The medium sized "hornet" has armored front engines but unarmored rear ones. You might want to re-map an assortment of buttons to something more comfortable. Stuff like the dodge rollls, crouching, push to talk, map button, etc.
>want to upgrade my medical lab to level 2>I have the cracked bioscanners>I cannot find ticks for tick podsWHERE ARE YOU!?!?!
>>546229318walk into every house in buried city, you'll trip over the fuckers
>>546229318Exclusively indoors. I often find at least one or two in the pale apartments and/or ruby residence on dam, but they also fuck around at the annex and research buildings also on dam.
>>546229370I'm only finding fireballs and pops!
>>546228485All of that sort of thing invariably makes gaming directional audio worse. The only one that I've ever recommended anyone use is Windows Loudness Equalisation, but that's more for Tarkov which has horrific dynamic range (the loud sounds in that are orders of magnitude louder than the quiet sounds), and still messes with distance perception.Arc Raiders is about as good as it can get for audio in a game, especially with Night Mode on.
>>546228463give me sar...
>>546229209how do i use free-load out? is it just defaulted on that?
>>546229665You need to start queuing up for a match.>upper left of the main UI, click "play">lower left click the bigass yellow "play" button>select a map (for you, only Dam battlegrounds will be unlocked at this point)>Your inventory screen will appear. At the very to center click "Free loadout"You'll load in with some random shit. If your random weapon uses light ammo and you face off against those armored "hornets", you might have luck using explosive grenades against them. Your kit is random but you often get some kind of grenades.Once you've successfully extracted, you can sell the used "free kit augment" to the robot medic vendor to exchange it for a green augment of your choosing. I recommend the looting one starting out. Just bruteforcing runs with freekits can be an easy way to stockpile green augments/level 1 shields, ammo, and assorted basic healing supplies.
>>546230004interesting. i figured a lot of runs ill just fuckin die anyway but again i haven't played an extraction shooter ever and the tutorial doesn't seem to cover the actual important game shit lmao
Power rod room on dam is proving its worth now
>>546230094Also, go into your settings and disable crossplay so that you don't get matched up with consoleniggers.Freekits are nice since you risk nothing and gambit a chance to extract with pure profit. Your custom loadouts risk loss of your entire loadout, but the kit will be customized to your preferences and you get a "safe pocket". If you fail to extract, the item in your safe pocket will be preserved despite the loss of everything else. It's nice for when you loot some rare item and then niggers mug you before you can extract normally. Once you stuff that rare item safely up your ass, nobody else can touch it anymore.Startout with freektis when you're learning the map and have nothing to your name, but quickly you'll want to start running around with budget custom loadouts. You don't need to bring your best of your best gear. In fact it's better if your gear is stuff that you don't give a shit if you lose.
>>546230382whats wrong with consoleniggers? do they just never use mics or something? i planned on fallin back to xbox but i dug out my mic in case i do that.but yeah thanks for the tips. i was curious why you would want to bring your own stuff other than the safe pocket but ill probably realize why after seeing how it goes after a few runs.
>>546230556it's the opposite if anything, they always use mic, they never shut it off no matter how much background noise there is and they never shut the fuck upI much prefer the mutes
Night raid really are a vibeUp until it's time to extract and then you fight 4 extract campers
>>546230556The PC playerbase, at least the NA one, is extremely friendly in the solo queue to an unusual degree. I bought the game a few days ago and have leveled up to level 11. 99% of the time players will leave each other be if you announce that you are friendly over proximity chat. I've been attacked by players maybe 5 times since I bought the game while playing within PC lobbies.Consoleniggers on the other hand are much more prone to saying that they're friendly, and then shotgunning you to death the moment that you relax. Also, like the other anon said, PC players are push to talk while niggers are hot mics. They don't even have the decency to tune their activation thresholds so that background noise is filtered out.
>>546230862>>546230756lmao god damn okayi dont even know what you're really looting in this game. do you just pick up literally anything when starting out?
>>546230938Starting out you'll want most anything. Eventually you'll start hunting specific things. The hardest part is that you'll find yourself sitting in your pile of hoarded loot and start wondering which items are safe to sell or recycle into raw materials, and which ones might be needed for quests in the future. Different areas of the map also have different loot distributions. For example, you'll eventually hate yourself if you realize that you sold off your toaster ovens before first upgrading your refinery bench. Toaster ovens are most commonly found in residential areas. Rusted cogs are another notorious item that you want to hang onto.
>>546231205>>546230938Once you start unlocking skill points, I recommend going down the red tree. The capstone unlock titled "security breach" is really powerful. The red tree also unlocks the ability to craft items mid-match. I'll be honest that I personally haven't needed to craft anything mid-match yet since usually runs either end smoothly or something goes catastrophically wrong, but having the option to craft mid-match gives you the option to cannibalize some of your loot to craft healing items if you barely win a fight and need to patch yourself back up to 100% before you risk a new battle.
>>546231464Mini smokes crafted mid-raid have saved my life countless times. The extended crafting perk has also gotten me a hatch key as a free kit multiple times
>>546231464>>546231205im curious though why exactly would you want to have good gear at this early point in the game? just so you can kill people easily?just tryin to wrap my head around this. the only thing close to this i've played was osrs wilderness f2p
managed to farm 9 snitch scanners before some kosnigger started taking potshots at me. Going to try to toss 21 of them and then spam some wolfpacks to get lods of exp
what % of players are girls?
>>546231716there's nothing else to do except get gear
>>546231817imagine how much funnier it would be to throw them at a group of people
>>546231826I hear a girl's voice surrounded by raiders almost every time I play but it could be a voice changer
>>546231887i will be at the top of the annex at the dam and throwing them at/around the elevator, if that counts.
shit i just realized this has xbox plays anywhere so i can just buy this shit on xbox and still play on pc
>>546231545I haven't used smokes yet when solo. Honestly I haven't brought much equipment in with me for my solo runs at all. I figure I might eventually load myself up for bear when I start looting high value rooms at night and such, but for now I've mostly been running naked.My most used consumable is is the adrenaline shot. I like having that stamina on tap. Then I normally have impact grenades slotted in alongside the healing items.>>546231716The MAIN reason to run a custom loadout instead of a free one is the "safe pocket". If you loot something that you truly desire, then you can instantly stuff it into the safe pocket so that you can't lose it. A secondary desire is that you can be better equipped to defend yourself. Both vs the NPC ARC enemies, and hostile players.Some of the custom items that you can bring with you are also really damn useful. For example the zipline item. There is a map called buried city where I've seen every single one of the hostile players that have fucked with me. It's like fallujah with a bunch of cramped alleyways and windows for people to snipe you from. Worse you can accidentally round a corner into "Bastions" which will shred you to pieces with minigun fire if you aren't prepared. I've found traversing this map to the extraction points to be a bit awkward since you probably end up ascending some multi-story buildings as part of your looting spree, but then need to descend to the ground floor, run through some alleys, and pass through another building before you can reach extract. With a zipline you can just keep climbing until you reach the rooftop and then create a new exit down.
>>546232206awesome brother thanks for the tips. they probably wont be useful at the start but i can get used to games pretty quick that this will help out in the future
The only unique map is the ruined sand village and the other 3 look and play exactly the sameThese maps seriously fucking suck and are the worst part about the game.
>>546232507>the other 3 look and play exactly the sameare you blind?
>>546232450At least for the time being, a lot of players are very friendly in the solo queues. However group queues are a bloodbath. If you're solo, just use proximity chat to announce yourself and talk to the other players at extraction. Granted it's possible that this can forfeit the element of surprise, and the other player might attack you. But at present a lot of players will play nice and extract together without fighting each other at extraction.High value loot zones might be more trigger-happy areas, but the extraction sites and 99% of the rest of the maps have mostly been safe in solo queues in my experience so far.
>>546232507The stuff needs to be distributed more evenly. If you spawn in the south of blue gate there's just fucking nothing there and it takes forever to get to a part with loot.
>>546231826>Extraction PvP shooterAbout 2% I assume
wondering how much of a nightmare this game is with a controller and inventory management
These quests fucking suck. Find an arbitrary pebble you can press "E" on across a bland environment that all looks the same
>>546233254blue gate rocky area has tons of those
>>546211460You are wrong. I did the harvester with an empty stitcher. You can melee all the wall buttons. Three hits per button.
>>546233074It's not that bad. Definitely slower than m+kb, of course.
>>546234009hows the aim assist? im comin off bf6 as my last shooter with a controller so im curious.waiting for a steam refund at the moment to repurchase it on xbock
how many raiders are there usually per map?
>>546234169They won't say but most people think it's 21 per lobby
>>546234063I turned it off before my first game so I can't say
>>546234335why would you do such a thing
Another anvil bp up for grabs
This is my problem solver right here
>help random stranger shoot down some probes/hornet before their backup comes>holster my weapon and run up to where he is>he guns me down immediatelyso much for solo mode on PC being friendly
>>546234954Why suppressor and not a compensator?
>>546234954Honestly wouldnt be surprised if the stitch got a nerf, it's way too good for a grey wep
>>546235009I believe that's retardation on my part, but I like to fantasize that it makes it harder to understand where I am coming from
Had a lot of luck in trios this evening with the boys.
>>546234963did you talk to them on comms?
>>546235354Very nice, why are you reviving with defib and not by hand? Does it give more health?
I'm strongly considering turning voice chat off. >turn around in buried city>see someone crouching up to me>shoot him, he runs away yelling on voice that he's a freekit and friendly etc>ok fine my bad whatever>turn around to let him go>he peeks the corner, pulls out an anvil IV and downs me>"sorry man i didn't want to fight i just wanted to be cool if i revive you will you shoot me?">arc jumps him, he runs into a building and tells me to follow>think he's about to revive me and we can fight the arc off together>"haha did you actually think i was gonna revive you you fuckin retard haha eat shit dumbass'>kills meI'm not mad about the loot i lost or dying or getting outplayed. I'm just mad about the purely human to human interaction. It's just a game, you don't have to be a lying fag.
>>546235427Twice, I said "hey what's up" as I approached and "really man I helped you" as he was shooting me.I had an Arpeggio III and I'm sad I lost it
>>546235634defibs are way faster than picking up by hand, they also heal 50.
i am about to do something
Alright ive done everything. All quests all upgrades expedition done, all of it.Now the only thing left to do is fucking kill every person I see on sight.
>>546235975>>546235634oh fucking hell I had no idea you could revive by hand because someone once left me dying saying "i don't have a defib sorry bro", so I left someone dying earlier and looted him after he died, fuck fuck fuck
>>546236096You can only revive teammates by hand, randoms require a defib.
>>546236096You can not, it's only for group, so don't feel bad.
>>546236020That's enough for rank 1, gl
>>546236154>>546236196oh okay phew because he had a cassette tape worth 10k and i felt real bad taking it and his weapons
>>546236020>>546236272I think in order to get an astronomically high rank... You're going to need this inventory of scanners EACH in a trio, all spamming them and then one singular person wolfpacks it.
>>546236272>>546236373so like half the snitch scanners just didn't go off, i think i needed to spread them out more. i did give someone a heart attack though because they were extracting as i threw them
Dam needs a rework because there's like 8 terrible spawn points like 600+ meters away from loot
>>546237053Yeah everyone should spawn right inside the loot together
>spawn into the admin tower loot room with 20 other players>manage to be the last one standing>open a locker>a player has spawned inside it>kill him>start running to extract>no one is anywhere
I've had enough of the ARC. I'm putting an end to this.
>loot two bettina blueprints>a player spawns inside the bp and kills youSure glad we're not all 600m away from the loot
>>546236349He can't pick them back up after he's died so you may as well take them.
well that's a first, just got killed by an invisible guy with a shotgun on night raid dam
>>546237442Raider-2, in position.
>>546237218No, just move some loot around or add more containers, some of the yellow areas like the generator area at the top of the map don't really have anything in them
>>546238112Dam has the most loot out of all of the maps and it's not even a contest. Power gen is especially extremely rich in good loot and largely uncontested
>>546237470Based down syndrome anon
>>546229546>night mode on>wind and leaves go SSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>546230203I’ve actually never been in there. I should go there right now
>>546238273and don’t forget the rain
>>546238351Probably my favorite spot to hit now. Very rarely is someone in there other than the usual security locker poopsocker and anyone that did come through never loots thoroughly. You can get all the components to craft a hatch key mid-raid and you can get the power rod pretty often just looting the place to open the door. Extract is right outside or down the hill for the hatch
>>546238448>hatch keythat’s day raid kind of shit. day raids are for trios
It's getting really fucking stupid how many times I've died purely because some dumbass freekit decides to gank the fight I was in with an actually geared person, and ends up getting both of us killed because I have to turn and deal with them first, which allows the geared guy to flank and kill me before I can recover. Always fucking happens when I'm bringing good shit out, too.
>>546238273>>546238436You're supposed to turn your overall volume downFuck me, how loud do you cunts keep your headphones? Every motherfucker playing multiplayer shooters today is going to go fucking deaf
>>546235710high trust cucks are easy picking
I hope the door glitches get fixed and security lockers become randomized spawns - the exception being those spawning in high value key rooms.This game was more fun without having these
>matched with someone who has ttv at the end of their name>prepared for suffering>he actually knows what he's doing and basically slaughters three squads by himselfsometimes things work out okay
>want to pvp>q for trios>buried city>one player is a console fag>open mic>can't hear shit because his mic is picking up all the in game sound effects so I have to immediately mute him>he instantly runs out into the open, pulls a wasp, hornet, and a snitch while near another team>he runs for cover, his cover of choice is the building the other squad is in and he gets lit up and dies>other guy wants to extract now since any fight we take is going to be 2v3 at best>we run off to extractwelp
>>546238570I don't understand night raids. You bring a key and spawn late/on the other side of the map and then you want to loot a little and extract with a higher chance of someone camping. If you do get to the key room and loot it safely, you now have to run to one of two extracts, if the raid timer hasn't already brought it down to one. And for what? More container spawns? I swear night loot is just placebo until someone can prove it's genuinely worth the risk with comparisons of key rooms at day vs. night
>>546238696>run anywhere even remotely near a security locker>get gunned down by a venator 4 nigger every single timewow
>>546238195Buried city has comparable loot quantity and much better loot density.
>>546238821nah nobody cares about those anymore. the loot is shit and always the same
>>546239003I wish I was this retarded
>>546239141but you are retarded
rapid fire turbo mode controllerGODSww@?
>>546239141He's right tho, buried is fucking loaded and largely uncontested
Is there an antiseptic blueprint?That shit is so rare. High tier meds just arent sustainable.
>>546238195You feel that way? In my lobbies, the power gen is the high-intensity pvp with mediocre loot. Like there is shooting for the whole 30 minutes of the map there.
>>546239554I find those pretty often, check red lockers and hospitals.
>>546239554You just make it in the refiner anon
YOU WILL NEVER GUESS WHAT BLUEPRINT I FOUND
>>546239491I can just use a rapid click application on my computer if I wanted to.
>>546240225just got one too. first bp of the day - HAS to be a bettina
>>546239741For some reason all the retards fight on the surface where there is not much loot, while the complex is barely touched
>>546240404I had the sweatiest moments with 5+ solos fighting, with mines, grenades, smokes, all the tacticool shit inside the complex. I only go in when I have a raider hatch key, counting on the timer to not have anyone nearby. Anecdotal of course, but I have seen less shootouts in the control center.
>>546240271ok but do you have a cat too?
i have 20 level 4 anvils and 8 level 4 venators and i still go in naked searching for BP's, how do i fix this disease
>>546240480Control center is a 24/7 warzone no matter how late into raid and I can always guarantee there is at least one venator nigger sweeping the halls back and fourth
>>546240541did so too. im now done with the game until next content drop. havent actually played the game, just dropping naked and scavenging for 120h.
>>546240528Why would I want toxoplasmosis?
>>546240404>while the complex is barely touchedI had the complete opposite experience and I believe I'm not aloneThey dont call it the rape tunnels for nothing, it's like Stalingrad in there
>>546240541Once a rat, always a ratI want to get rid of the tempests but they are holding a bunch of mods and I don't feel like making more guns to hold them
>>5462039451 jolt mine and 1 blaze grenade trap is enough to kill a leaper, you just put them down, shoot leaper (a decent distance away from it), wait for it to jump then roll out of the splash zone, fucker will land on the mines and cook himself while shocked
>>546240480>>546240675What servers? I'm on NA and it's the complete opposite
>throw a showstopper>they run awaybunch of babies
>>546240779EU. However, I will say, that people in general in my experience are friendly, in contrast to the usual eu doomposting.
>spawns in 15 minutes late in fuckass nowherejust send me back home man
>>546241017I think it's just standard NA retardation at play then. I'll be enjoying the loot
Can someone explain me what the fuck is this level of chink unemployment and why am I stuck in a group with those?
>>546241084go to spaceport hidden bunker -one- time and kill every wasp, congrats on your free double promotion.
>>546202091there's like 5 per bombardier on average so he fleeced you
Looting is making this game really unfun for me.I can run around wrecking lobbies no problem. Literally trying to loot any corpse out in the open(they will fucking crawl into the open)?solid chance I die and cant really do shit about it.Really really really unfun whats the appeal of collecting your reward being the larger risk of death than actually fighting people
>>546241084>trio>each has stacks of snitch scanners>spam them>wolfpackquick and easy
>>546241194use a smoke retard
>>546241349What's a smoke retard?
>>546241245can I be in a solo based trial list please
so which of the two do I craft?I can only craft one
>>546241589left, that's the one people use to harass the queen with and do solo kills.
>>546241727reddit says its weak and needs a buff
>>546241349people will throw grenades into the smoke retard
>>546241194Now lay two trigger nades inside the body out in the open, spy on it from afar then blow anybody up who finds it
>>546241194>Literally trying to loot any corpse out in the open(they will fucking crawl into the open)?They do it on purpose to deny you the loot, or get you killed trying to loot themThat's a lesson you tend to learn early in extract shooters, not every body is worth looting
>>546241791whats a smoke retard?
>>546241791Then use two and run in after the first one baits their grenades.>"I can wreck lobbies but having to outplay someone? Dear heavens no that's unthinkable"
>>546241791What's a smoke retard?
You can literally just sprint at people with the stitcher and theyre drop spaghetti everywhere and get owned
>>546242152Genuinely considering just running anvil 4 + stitcher 4 and holding W
>>546240225>>546240385Are they ever going to fix this shitThe Bettina too, that gun fucking SUCKS
>>546241930Why the fuck do I have to outplay a guy camping and ratting around, after I just fucking outplayed someone in a gun fight. Just to fucking loot my kill.Faggot
>>546242260its not that the bettina sucks, the stitcher is just too GODLY
>>546242268You don't need to sign your posts
Any hot tips for the trials? Obviously, doing night maps, yeah makes sense. But I've been tagging every wasp in every match with my ferro, and I got like 920 points. And it doesn't seem to be like a weekly quest where "oh, it just adds every bit you do per match to the total" it seems to count only your best. I don't even know where to find enough Wasps and Fireballs to get 4k points.
>>546242268If you are too retarded for that, we both know you are not wiping the lobbies, you are ratting in a corner. Also, don't sign your posts.
the noisemaker saved my ass 2 times in a row looting locked rooms.put them above the door and sneaky rats dont stand a chance
>>546242547throw 5+ snitch scanners, toss a bunch of wolfpacks and there goes your top score
Multiple times now I've died because matched randoms had simply fucked off behind me instead of covering the angle above me. You'd think I'd learn
>can kill queen with 2 blaze trap grenadeswonder how quick they will patch this
>>546241194>they will fucking crawl into the openThe goal is that you get so frustrated you kill yourself, giving my genes a better chance to be the dominant genes.This is the single motivation for all actions for all living creatures, on every planet, in every dimension, forever.
>>546242268>Why the fuck do I have to outplayBecause you're picking the greedy and risky optionYou could leave and go loot shit somewhere elseYou could loot him and take the riskOr you could simply use the body as bait and camp itThat's why people like these game, they give you agency

>>546244397dont have it either, but you can craft it ingame if you have the talent
>>546198302I found it in a desk drawer in the admin/research medical room on dam for that one quest for the clinic
>>546244527what the fuck, really? I just unlocked that talent too
>>546244621yeah
Bunker is the best indoor location so far, IMO. Shame it's so hard to access.
>>546244784>hard to accesspeople typically unlock the bunker in a matter of minutes.comfy tip: bring a zipline or two
>>546242547two stacks of snitch scanners or 6 is enough to hit 6k+, just bring two wolfpacks and it'll be done in less than one minute from spawning
>>546244882I mean as in, it's a mapwide event, and everyone and their mother gathers there, which steals the exploration aspect of it.
this game gives me tlou factions mp and sw battlefront vibes somehow
>>546230203Power rod room?
has embark been hotfixing this game at all?>>546244939yeah true. i would have liked some minor ambient lighting in there too. some flickering lights maybe or broken power cables emitting sparks and shit
>>546245124Might have sneakily. There were many videos and posts talking about east broken bridge as a basically guranteed BP farm spot. I spend hours yesterday and after 20 or more runs I got one venator bp.
why would you go in with anything else but a green kit and a stitcher

game legit doesn’t have enough content and I haven’t even been no-lifing it, went hard the first few days but only been casual the last few…everything done all I have left is to hit max levelthey need to put in daily/weekly donation quests and projects asap to encourage the looting loop, I have enough credits and mats that I can just buy the daily refresh or craft new gear it doesn’t even matter if I get dropped in all my gamesthere’s only so many games I can go full PVP, the PVE and endgame loot gathering is severely lacking, they better have big plans other than the wipe otherwise this is gonna die off hard
>>546245737I take a stitcher as a sidearm, need something better for bots
jesus christ, I think I'm just not going to play anymore until they've fixed the bp blueprints drop rateswhat is even the point of going to high tier loot areas or key rooms when you only get the same garbage every time
>only 150k concurrentholy shit this died FAST, so glad I didn't take the bait and decided not to buy it
>>546246256>A game update is availableLook like it
field crates are fucking dogshit and not worth the effort. I've done close to 20 of these now and the best thing they drop is a single Anvil. Why the fuck do we have 3+ ways to replenish ammo on the field (supply depots, field depots, ammo boxes etc) when 99% of the time taking two stacks of ammo for your gun is more than enough.
How's the solo experience on EU severs? I've heard that the game isn't shoot-on-sight like other extraction shooters, but EU players are always more bloodthirsty in these type of games compared to NA
>game update guess they fixed the queen exploit already
>>546244450you straight up run up to her from behind, as long as she's not in combat she's pretty docile, you slap two blaze traps on her main body, shoot one then watch her explode, they might have fixed it with the patch that just dropped though
>loot bombadier in hidden bunker event before anyone gets there since I was closest >right near extract>tap to call it then run back>the mob gets there to loot it and theres no cells left>sees 1 guy who just showed up now over at the extract and assume he took it all>10 people blast him to death

Australians are a blight
>>546246758What even is the existing content? The problem isn't a lack of it, it's the substance of what's there alreadyQuests are abysmal, fighting ARC is meaningless and the map modifiers are meme-tierAll you do is collect junk from lockers only because the game tells you to, there is no actual intrinsic reason
>>546246708i reckon it's a bit worse than NA, fucking Russians and other non-English speakers are usually KOSniggers, aside from the usual psychopaths
>>546242547Spaceport during hidden bunker, go to the two towers in the north part of the map, there is a spawn there that spawns like 2-3 wasps at a time, also bring snitch scanners and wolfpacks. You can easily get like 30k+ in a match since most people are ignoring you to do the data download shit.

>>546247670good. these prices are expected in a F2P game. WE PAID MONEY FOR THE GAME!!!!!
These new optional modes suck ass.>electrical stormdoes absolutely nothing, never even seen lighting go after an arc even though they'd be conductive as hell, you can only drag arc into the lightning but it doesn't really do all that much. the weather sucks to fight in, which still does happen people are still running freekits and going around like crackheads trying to secure cheap kills. The loot isn't any better either, I've opened like 10 key doors during storms and I've never gotten anything better than an osprey and the blueprints were lacking as well>hidden bunkerThe only good thing about this mode is you get an extra 10 minutes of play time, fun to go around ignoring the entire event doing other shit, but again the loot isn't any better like on nights, you can't use hatch keys so you might get evac camped, and the event itself is just pure dogshit. You go into a bunker with middling loot outside of 1 weapon case spawn and then you stand around with your thumb up your ass for 15 minutes collecting data that doesn't do anything and is worse XP than just throwing on a hullcracker and blowing up robots. And you also have to hope the other solos don't come in looking to kill everyone. What is the point of these two modes? I will never pick them over a normal lobby, because in a normal lobby I can hatch escape and I get the same loot value. I don't gotta worry about getting electrocuted or camped around the last elevator.
After being killed one times too many in solos I've started just betraying and killing on sight all the time, its literal easy mode how bad/dumb most of these people are.If you play like a pacifist you are an idiot.
>>546247631I just know pork hands are behind this post, when you don't state who you are
>>546247892As someone who plays both ARC and BF6, it's lucky that the store skins are so fucking bad. I haven't been tempted to spend money even once.

Are impact grenades ever worth using? The damage doesnt seem worth not having a gun in my hands, looks like I'd easily get out DPS'd
>>546247970>you have to be either a KoSnigger or a pacifistNo, anon. There's a middle ground. You can be ready to fight, but ideally it's better to avoid conflict.

>>546248208Flushing people out of cover, but that's about it. If you want a grenade with actual damage and radius, use just about anything higher rarity.
>>546248153Okay, that's pretty based then, classic enemy, proceed. Surprised you play on eu, but kinda logical
>>546247979Buddy people didnt wait for the Ukraine war to associate russians online with bad reputation
>>546248208impact nades aren't really useful for pvpif you're poor they're decent for cracking surveyors or whittling down a bastion
>>546248208You can use them to blast a corner and dissuade someone from holding an angle so you can push himAlso any damage prevent shield regeneration, so sometimes it can be double clutch before a push

>>546249440predicting the only way to secure a double promotion is hidden bunker + snitch scanner spamming in a squad. top 100 is going to be beyond autistic.
>>546249441You can just dodge roll it from the audio cues even at basically point blank. You can even do a slide. You have so many options against wasps that there's no excuse for getting killed by one.

>>546225641they mentioned in the full blog post its not 100% guaranteed you'll be in pure duo games. There's still a chance you end up against trios
>>546250207I assumed you play on pc via steam. If so, you can google it. I reliably find pillows in raider outposts in breachable boxes. (the lower part of the map on buried city, for example.
>>546250325Thanks, I will keep that in mind as well.
Soooo... where do i get too apricots and shit to upgrade the chicken?Also, is the weapon balance completely off in this game? It feels some weapons are just straight better than most.
>There are no Pay to Win items in the premium Raider Decks. The focus for premium Decks are based on cosmetics and convenience.>conveniencesounds like they'll make it so you can MTX stash space since that's not an item.
>>546250143hidden bunker gives the same 2x as night raidbring a hullcracker and some wolfpacks if you really want to tryhardyou can hide out and wait for the mob to form to avoid a random kosfarm the bastions that spawn on top of the bunker
>>546250367Apricots, like other fruit, grow on various fruit trees. I've discovered some of them naturally while exploring, others I was pointed to by anons in these threads.A good source of apricots is the lonely, empty island at the bottom of the dam.
>>546250404are they counting a crate with a fuckton of rare keys as "convenience"? that's straight value
>>546250068No idea. My best guess is that the only way to do trading is to butt-pocket something, go into a match, and then both agree to drop it and peace out. Which is not really how you're supposed to play. And of course the fact that because this is the only way to actually trade, they probably don't want to deal with "@Moderators hey! @lolipantsulicker69420 took my trade and then killed me! Please ban him from the game and discord!"
>>546250494key word "items", anon
>>546250404If I make a purchase now will they compensate me tomorrow ?
>>546250367save yourself the headache of searching for the fruit trees and just wait for a lush blooms modifier, get what you need from the fruit baskets
>>546250310Possibly best tool in the game. Shame ropes are such a pain.
>>546250367There's apricot trees on certain maps, the easiest ones to find are probably in the big central park area on Buried City alongside some lemon trees.It's probably best to wait for a Lush Blooms map event and searching the baskets that will spawn in nature loot zones during it, though. You can find all sorts of the fruits, olives, and shrooms you need for your giant cock in those.
>>546247670I guess people really weren't buying cosmetics at those pricesVoting with your wallet works after all
>>546250367go to the island near where the queen spawns with the raider hatch on dam during lush blooms
>>546250647yeah i have no ropes and two power rods, don't think i'll ever have enough mats to be using these freely
when bunker
>>546249530>The focus for premium Decks are based on cosmetics and convenience.This means future premium battle passes are gonna have EXP boosters in it.
What new guns do you guus think should be added?Crappy double barrel shotgun is desperatley needed imo, on top of that i would add an RPG that uses launcher ammo and can damage raiders but is less powerfull than the hullcracker
>>546251238Or particular resources
>>546247892nobody forces you to buy that garbage
>>546251295Guns* fuck this shitty android phone keyboard
>>546251295long distance grenade launcher with a fucklong reload time
>>546251295yeah we need a gray shotgun. they might've decided it would be too toxic for lowbie shitters to get for free
>>546251328Don't think any resources. They said specifically: "Gameplay Items are only in free Raider Decks. To help you along the way as a new Raider, we have included some Gameplay Items in the free Raider Deck, which can be unlocked via progression.There are no Pay to Win items in the premium Raider Decks. "It's gonna be hard to argue that resources of any kind are not "pay to win".
>>546249395no
>>546251451I can't think of a single thing that could be considered "convenience" and not be pay to win by that logic
boycott hardcore sweaty endgamesupport kino atmospheric exploration endgame
the only pay to win thing they could possibly add would be blueprints. everything else can be lost instantly by a retard with a kettle.
blueprints are overrated. especially the stupid anvil BP
>>546251534Like I said , exp boosters. It's been accepted for a long time, that giving people exp boosters to level faster is "convenience" and not "pay to win". I still think exp boosters are bullshit, but it is what it is. maaaaaaaybe, the premium track might have stash spaces? maaaaaaaaaybe some credits? Hard to tell. Credits I'm really not sure because you can essentially buy items for credits, but maybe they feel like that's removed enough to pass. since "everyone can just extract any old trash and get money, this is just speeding it up".
>>546251295Can't think of any guns but an interesting weapon-slot melee weapon could be interesting.An augment that has a delay to security cameras would be nice, if you run past it it won't go off?
>>546251775stash space would cause riotscredits I couldn't give a fuck about
>>546251678blue prints are literally necessary for any fun in the gamewithout them you're relegated to using grey shit for everything
This game desperately needs an option to mark specific items as "wanted" and "trash".
>>546252098I have more fun rushing a security locker with a free kit and going on a killing spree
>>546251775But resources are barely different from coins. There's nothing that isn't pay to win if items count.Pay to win used to mean numerical advantages in damage output/mitigation in combat, paying to skip the core gameplay loop is more like pay to stop playing
>>546252176>security lockerwell no wonder you don't have to care about blueprints
>>546249454>uncivilized eastern barbarianor>western turbo cuckold&buttplug enjoyerwut do?
>>546252009I just wish people were as mad about battle pass microtransaction bullshit, as they are about fucking pride flags in suicide squad. Maybe we could actually improve gaming somewhat. >>546252239I 100% agree with you. Keep in mind I didn't suggest coins as a good fair reward. Just did some thinking about "what COULD they do, and IF they did this, how would they justify it?"
>>546245917you haven’t even killed all of the arc yet
>>546247521>zigger using /pol/ terminology telling others to go back to /pol/How about you fuck off, retard.
>credits
>>546250367>Also, is the weapon balance completely off in this game? It feels some weapons are just straight better than most.weapons in their own categories are mostly logical (higher rarity = better weapon) with the exception of anvil since it functions more like a battle riflesome weapon types are just stronger than others though, battle rifles and pistols dominate right now with smgs being really strong and shotties alright. assault rifles on the other hand are dogshit across the board
Legit how the fuck do you guys already have millions of credits and maxed out bases and completed expeditions with all purple loot in stash? I have about 30 hours in the game now and I still haven't gotten max stash slots, my benches are level 2, and only completed step 1 of the expedition and still a handful of quests to complete.
>>546227885yeah there is
>>546251295i posted ideas before>double barrel shotgun>machine pistol>mateba revolver medium ammo, high headshot damage, makes lots of sense for setting, fast weaker anvil>sword>riot shield maybe>throwable ticks that go after raiders>invisibility cloak>drum mag for rattler>new quick-use instruments like the recorder, just add a simple banjo or guitar, doesnt have to have effects, just make it a simple 3 chord loop thing just like the recorder>new augments/shields with much more effects, stamina effects on break shield, minor AOE damage, whatever whatever>crossbow with different craftable bolts (magnetic/electric anti-arc/shield, jolt, normal, buckshot-tip)>harpoon gun>hairpin full auto modification (commits to full magdump on shot)
How much longer will this game be FOTM? I’m tired of my friends pretending to love it due to streamer shills getting paid off. The crafting system is a nightmare for niggas with ADHD
Is this the Elbereth of this game?
>>546253829i go into missions and kill big arc
>>546251295pvp hullcrackerlower rarity shotgunthrowable knives (lmao)medium ammo smg
>>546253829extraction players are MMO-tier nolife neets and arc is the most casual game among them, if you have no gear fear and look things up its quite easy, especially when you play 12 hours a day since launch day.
>>546252993>you haven’t even killed all of the arc yethuh??? the Queen is all there is and I tagged along with a group of randos so yes, I have, and then what? there’s nothing to donate to or grind for its just a PVP battle royale once you sort the expedition out
>>546251421The stitcher IV is already better than il toro IV
>>546254031>medium ammo smgthats just called an assault rifle
>>546253829If you go into a round with a specific plan, like get gears to upgrade gun bench, you will accomplish shit way faster and more efficiently than just wandering around and picking up everything you see in the first building you wander into. Quests are worthless and a waste of time. Only play it if you have the autistic compulsion to complete everything or you HAVE to watch the 30 second cutscenes. You get fuckloads of both EXP and money at the same time when you go hunt for higher tier ARC enemies. You get 20k-30k exp if you kill and scavenge 2 or 3 big ARCs and they drop fucktons of purple mats which you can just sell after you upgrade your benches or craft what you have to craft.
>>546249760>netcode issues>against the NPCsI get hit by maybe 1 out of every 50 wasp shots at me.
>>546254348i just did quests to get this outfit, doubt i'll touch them again next wipe unless there is some clear benefit
>>546254303yeah except smgs are good and ars are shit which is why i want a medium ammo smg since it would be good
>>546254503do you keep quest outfits after the expedition?
>>546254565yeah
>>546254503sex
>>546219343i did 12 points of dmg to a player with one
>>546254503every time you post your character i feel like it looks like the teacher from the Weapons movie.
>>546254936kinda going for the Starbuck vibe
>>546254503looks like Kate McKinnon's character from that female only ghostbusters reboot
>>546251615>just keep plugging in your credit card for infinite epic gear every time you lose your shit>devs now incentivized to make that gear fuck-you strong and harder to find naturally>some kind of premium insurance system, pay money to keep your guns if you die>ghillie suit skinsNah, they could get real fuckin gay with p2w if they wanted to.
>>546252098>build sophisticated loadout with a shitload of blueprints>get stitchered by a freekit anyway
>>546254503My server slam skin-fu. How far in is it?
>>546255225yeah that's the problem with this game's balancing, "better" gear is actually just differently colored shit gear, they just happen to be more expensive
>>546255206yes if they completely change how the game works it could become p2w, amazing point. they could also add a gacha.
>bring my best kit>load into night spaceport>dropped at the map border with 15 minutes left>only option is to spend 10 minutes running across the map to the only exit leftconsidered just killing myself and abandoning the kit tbqhdesu
So the PVP is mostly just a gearcheck right? It seems to be that if you just have better equipment you're already at highly advantageous position.There also seem to be no creativity with kills, i think i just head back to Hunt.
>>546255386pretty far, quest is from Shani, keep pumping her quests, it's called Into the Fray
Is this only possible with the increases slide distance? I'm guessing this is just sliding down the dam
>>546255710a basic stitcher 1 magdump instakills people, gear means next to nothing in this game
>>546255679>his best kit doesn’t come with adrenaline shots
>>546255710not really, an anvil can 2-shot anyone regardless of what shield they're wearing, even a stitcher only needs 4 more bullets to kill a heavy shield
>>546255824Such a bad example, since Sticher4 is outright superior and any medium shield will tank your sticher 1.
>>546255710kitted people get killed by free loadouts all the timewhoever gets the first drop is at a huge advantage if they can push the advantage without a reset, positioning, cover and corner peeking is important
>>546255809I did it without the talent. sliding down the dam
>>546251615they could do the two biggest p2w things tarkov already does under excuse of conveniencebigger safe pocket and more stash space
Can you lose your rank or do you remain unchanged at worst?
>>546255517You're right, devs have never fucked their game up with p2w dogshit. Unprecedented. Especially not Nexon of all companies.
>>546255958you can lose rank
>>546255958you will lose your rank if not doing any points
>>546255958click on leaderboards and scroll down, there's demotion
>>546255710>So the PVP is mostly just a gearcheck right?more like rapecheck, especially at night and in any interior the person that shoves it in deep from behind first wins the vast majority of times unless you are carrying a smoke or tac pack with auto-smoke, fair gunfights are nonexistent unless both parties willingly engage in them, its a doggy dog world in Arc Raiders
>>546255710no, gear only matters for taking down ARC, and ARC resources literally have no use other than to sellthe gameplay loop is broken
don't really feel like attempting the trials stuff as a solo tbqh, none of the rewards are that appealing
>>546255954you're technically only skipping the grind in tarkov, but you have to be a complete psycho to get a gamma every wipe
>>546255879your response?
>>546255710if you play arc like hunt, you'll be very successful, they're actually quite similar if you use all the mechanics properly (shoulder peeks, utilities, pushes and retreats)just yesterday i had a rat shoot me in the back with a ferro while i was using the extract button in the metro, leaving me 1 shot to death, rolled out of the metro and crouched as he chased me running right into my stitcher magdump to the head killing him, i wish it saved the clip but steam recorder keeps breaking.
>>546256203You're just making my argument for me lol.Its a gearcheck.
>>546252426Battle Pass never called me nigger. I will never forget when Activision made me stop playing the game I paid them for so I could look at gay shit and mourn the death of a speedballer. I don't mind paying for shit I like.
>>546256282anyone can make those and stitchers cost a few metal parts
>>546256282i'm sorry to learn about your brain damage, get better soon.
>>546256175trials are a good source of blueprints in the initial reward, outside of that yeah I agree
>>546255710not even gearcheck, it can give you an edge but if you are jumped and unaware you are fucking dead no matter what
>>546256282>it's a gear checkIt's a looter/shooter. Gear checking is 50% of the experience you mongoloid.
>>546256458I know, and i dont enjoy it.I want to win with skill and creativity, back to Hunt it feels like.>>546256335That's not the point. If everyone can make it so easy then why to do it in the first place?
>>546256202you can't get gamma, kappa is better than gamma and they've made kappa more difficulty every single major wipe pretty much if not every single wipe period (major wipe = winter to summer)the only real options for poorfags are1. beta, which is barely better than alpha but at least available fairly early on2. epsilon, behind punisher which is fairly long questline3. the new container from arena which itself is another purchase unless you manage to do it with the free arena pass, also a fairly long questlinegammafags also get automatically the biggest stash upgrade that's more expensive than anything else in the game, it's so fucking expensive that i never bothered getting it even when i'm running bitcoin farms because at that point i don't even need the extra space thanks to all the extra containersgamma is insanely overpowered in actual gameplay and it was only balanced last wipe because you couldn't put meds and ammo in it so gammafags weren't at a massive advantage early wipestash space early on is also huge advantage when you're looking for all the gay small shit that you need double digits of per bench upgrade or for quests
>>546255879>Sticher4 is outright superiorUpgrading stitchers only lowers reload time and recoil, neither of which matter unless your aim is shit.
if you need more than this you might be playing the game wrong
>>546256578how is it a gear check if everyone has access to the gear?
That's it, I'm going to KoS everyone I see. Time to accelerate the downfall of this game
>>546256603>Kill someone>Out of healing>Can't take his healing because he was a yellow name nigger and hid meds in his assEvery time

>>546256650>gets destroyed by any player within 50 meters
>>546256667But they dont.
>>546255824>>546256452they should seriously consider buffing medium and heavy shields
>>546257014who doesn't? you can't get access to a single spring?
>>546257024medium is fine, heavy is ass and the perk that makes you move faster with shields is barely noticeable
>>546256578If you had skill, you would have better gear. The game was never the problem fren.
>>546257097Medium is barely worth it as it stands and heavy is unironically trolling.But ye they should consider buffing that perk.
>>546256650based musketfag. It really is satisfying to hunt arc with. And fighting players with, considering if you miss you've got about 15 minutes before you can fire your next shot.
>>546256603Tarkov is for sweats only, but it wasn't always this way. Back in 2018 it was awesome. Every patch intentionally made it sweat only.The irony of the 1.0 release this weekend is that it is happening the end of Tarkov lifespan.Arc Raiders will kill their own game if they follow this strategy. The casualification of Arc is a good thing.
>>546257060Its literally the point of the game to go and hunt the blueprints and level the character to gain access to better items. Why do you think this is about one item?
>freekit sprints to the building i'm in and opens the door at 0 stamina>click on him with my anvil a few times>"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW I'M JUST HERE FOR A QUEST I DONT EVEN HAVE ANYTHING">melee him to death through his autistic screamsgreat game i give it a ten

>rats whining on steam forums that solos are teaming up to flush them outlmao, camp bitches on suicide watch
So i finally managed to get my gun station to lvl 3 and craft a bettina and get it to tier 4 and i find it kinda lackluster>Fires heavy rounds, but does barely any damage to ARC>Burns through ammo fast>Has a lot of recoil>Fires too slow to be used for pvpNo wonder its BPs are so commonHonestly, it should be a blue, not a purple
Duos are "technically" in right now
>>546257341the difference is that tarkov has bunch of pvp oriented questlines while this game has only random cred tasks that have "do damage to raider with x ammo" as their conditionas long as they don't add trials or quests with pvp to this game it will never become like tarkov and it's honestly why tarkov is so shit, they made the game around retarded streamers like shartily who get kappa every wipe in 2 weeks no matter how many quests they add to itif they changed all the tarkov tasks to be "kill any target" intead of pmc the game would instantly heal at least somewhat
>>546257341Tarkov has like 750k wishlists on steam, I wonder what the steam numbers are gonna look like
>>546256704I take it back, I can't do it. Everyone is too nice
>>546257627im expecting the week top 100 is possible to have trials that are just "deal damage to raiders with __ ammo" or "down raiders"
>>546257583>Fires too slow to be used for pvp>he says as people use ferro for pvp
>>546257793ferro has the benefit of making noobs shit their pants when 70% of their health is suddenly missing, giving you time to reload while they panic
>>546257684I killed someone after they brought down a bastion and they were like "man this took me ages... i'm so sad now"made me feel like scum
Can I kill the bigger enemies on my own with a Hullbreaker if I wait to engage with good positioning?
>>546258009yes easily
>>546257793The ferro shreds and you can dive in cover immediately after firingWith the bettina you need continuous fire
>>546257627Agreed on all points. Tarkov was tailored to streamers who define "sweat" and Nikita has made this clear. Most people don't play games professionally. But BSG already made their $ so incentive is gone.Arc just needs to keep a casual gameplay loop/goals without resorting to seasonality or sweat and they will have a lasting lifespan>>546257636Who knows I could end up being wrong. I doubt it though, it's too little (too much?) too late.
>>546258009yes but it attracts way too much attention, its better to use blaze grenades or even better wolfpacks, if you use blaze grenades make sure you "dose" them and don't spam them, for some reason they won't stack otherwise. almost everything goes down in like 2-3 blaze grenades and maybe some extra ferro shots.
>>546256760you got me
>>546258067What should I bring for a sidearm? Anvil?
>>546256760i like it because it has weird stupid ww2 guns like the sten gun and the chauchat (a french lmg in case you weren't aware), the concord aesthetic and the fact that all you do is loot and then lose it to a guy in a moment. i love battle royales.
>nobody is buying cosmetics!>hmm must be because they're too expensive!kek, fucking retardsthey would've made so much money if even a single set was badass
>>546219024>How to efficiently use smokes?smoke the loot you want to loot and then loot it
>>546258287ideally yeah but like that other guy said, blaze grenades are beyond broken and 1-2 will kill anything in the game except the queen.
>>5462584561-2 WILL kill the Queen thougheverbeit. The way is stacks damage is bugged. Expect a hot fix immediately
>>546258420i see a lot of people with premium cosmetics but its all the same few, the boonies one and the deluxe one, maybe one time i saw a person with actual taste using the driftcoat. they all look like such shit. i really hope the expedition cosmetic will be something swag.
>2-tap some wagie with my trusty big iron>get told to go play call of dutynever gets old
>>546258420The one with the leather jacket and pilots helmet is cool. So is the astronaut one
>>546258671Fucking adore that gun. As a SenatorCHAD in Helldivers 2, it speaks to me on a deep level
>always use dark colored clothing so I can bushmax I can't be the only one
>>546258420agreed>>546134965give me swimsuits
>>546258420the fit is dogshit but the facepaint is kinogonna get the face paint seperately with the deck dabloons to rock the real swag: >facepainted >default green jumpsuit on >kamikazi pilot helmet on >asian man face equiped
What's a good way to consistently find pvp outside of nightraids?
>find snap hook>sitting on the literal top of space control tower>decide to zip down my special zip>someone literally on the roof facing the other direction>surprise him>jump down>IMMEDIATELY third partiednight map and we're all in the same building? what?
>>546220887Computers in the blue tarp raider buildings seem to drop 1-3 at a time
>>546259082learn the security breach locations
Is this not the old EMP trap?
So did the community just decide night raids = pvp?
>>546258420I can honestly not tell a meaningful difference between free cosmetics and paid ones, so I guess that's good.Also main reason I won't be getting any: My main goal in every game with cosmetics is to equip the most butt-ugly skin I can get my hands on. For instance in Siege, I usually rock one of the various christmas skins on all of my weapons. Black Ice? Miss me with that. Valentines day heart wrapping paper skin? Yes please. I want cosmetics that make me look like the biggest fucking clown on the battlefield. I want it to honk when I walk. Everyone and their mom is using the cool, edgy skins. Give me skins that make tryhards go: "who the fuck would wear this shit?" it's me, asshole! I would wear this shit.
>>546259334yes.
>>546259334not really. pve trannies go there to do quests now.
>>546229318Underground tunnel on blue gate has shitloads of ticksThere were none last week tho coz a kill ticks trial was on
How much durability am I gonna lose on a gun per round? At what point should I repair before I go in?
>>546259334the game kinda introduces nightraids as more pvp heavy, from the intro tutorial thing it conditions you to expect to be assailed by marauding raiders and from the night raid unlock cinematic it reiterates that player aggression will be a threat in night raids
>>546256578has to be baitthis game has the worst gear scaling out of any of these types of games in the sense that gear gives an absolute minimal, rapidly diminishing advantage2 out of the 4 free kit weapons are capable of one-mag greasing literally anyone and they all handle wellat best it's hunt-tier, where consumables are the main thing that change fights
>dark map mode>can't see shit>slightly better loot>HEY GUYS, DON'T YOU WANT TO DO PVP HERE?!!!no thanks
>>546259334>increased loot values across the board>players likely have better items>incentive to pvp and take them
I hope they do more bunker type events that incentives pve
Is there any reason to give a shit about my trials ranking? Or is 3 stars for the rewards the only real goal?
>>546258671Literally no point play any other gun in the game.
>>546259693PvE trannies use it to do their quests.
>>546259721for the glory, to show trannies how many of their xisters you must have slain to wear the shity ass cosmetic rewards
>>546259830>pvp tranny has the gall to call anyone else a trannylole
>>546259608>>546259832who is this avatarfag? just use a tripcode, faggot
>>546247838>run into friendly guy>ferronigger taking potshots at us>i only have a shotgun so try to push, get downed>friendly bro finds me downed and says "oh there were two of you fags" and finishes me not knowingFeels badman

What's the best use for the wolfpacks? I have four already, and I'm too scared to waste them.What can I do with four wolfpacks?
>>546260207With luck (depending on how the wolfpack hits) you can oneshot rocketeers.
where do you find prickly pears? been looking all over places marked as nature but no luck so far
>>546260207Fuck up heavy arc like bastions, bombadiers and the queenCan even hit the rocketeer if its close
>>546260328they spawn on the ground next to cactus plants
>>546260328Random cacti on city and dam, usually alreadly looted by the time you get to them thoughI know there's a spawn near pale apartments on dam where you can grab one but if you don't get that spawn its likely gone by the time you get there
>>546260328Very bottom of the map on Buried City. You gotta get there first because other people are still routinely grabbing them for chickn. Been alot of blood shed at the olive trees and cacti
>>546259516ive had stuff like shields break in matches, which sucks so you probably should keep it safe idk numbers. its not like dark souls where durability is a meme stat.
>>546260404>>546260458>>546260493shieeet guess I gotta put on my big boy pants and get ready to actually pvp, the game has been almost too peaceful so far
What are EU servers like for playing solo? The shit I've watched of this game make it look like most people you encounter are friendly and dont just kill on sight
>guy shoots me down while elevator door closes Besides maybe a challenge to deal damage to a raider, for what purpose is such barbaric senseless cruelty?
>>546259628Literally cant.
>>546260862Did you die? Because I sometimes do it just for fun because I don't actually intend to fully KO them
>>546260862XP tooNo reason not to shoot people when the doors are closing.
>>546259334theres' no raider hatches and there's better loot. yep, i'm killing any raider i see
>>546260742it's pretty chill
>>546260862to send a message
>>546260742you are good unless you encounter russians, they kos 90% of the time
>>546259334I'm watching some boomer streamer and of the 15+ people he's encountered so far, none have attacked him. All on night raid
>>546260328You can get some on spaceport, eastern side of the map between the electrical substation and the security checkpoint. You need to climb to the substation to see the cacti. I don't think it's visited much since it's so far from the action.>>546260862shits n' giggles m8
This shit worth it?
>>546260742As long as you dont see a russian nigger
gear score matchmaking my assin a nightraid with a blue augment and blue shield and a hullcracker and I ran into some naked dude with just a bunch of stamina shots running around following some interactive map for weapon boxes
>>546260207i used mine to kill the big robots (sans the leaper, who's easy enough to just straight cheese) quicklydoesn't always one-shot them but they'll be low enough that it's easy to finish them offdoing it solo so speed was important. chuck a wolfpack (or two) at the target, finish it off with a couple anvil shots/snap nades, pop some smokes and deploy some cover and then loot and fuckin' scootmy strat for rocketeers was though mostly to find one, get to a nice covered position far away, tag it so it comes over, and take it in my remote and defensible location. it's like taking heli
>>546260862if he actually killed you aka no loot it means he was a nigger
>>546261385why would you think there was gear matchmaking
>>546260862>challenge to deal damage to raideri've done this a few times never knocked anyone just made a pot shot the second before we load out, i don't think it contributed to the challenge at all
>>546261256>>546261365Fuck sake. Same as most multiplayer games thenBurgers dont know how good they have it with online games with voice chat
>>546261343the snap hook is goated
>>546261450The fact that you can't change your equipment while waiting in the lobby is one clear hint.
is there consensus on what is the most optimal fit for camoflauge.
>>546261478Out of my 15 kos deaths, 12 russians, 1 german 2 french
>>546261503Can I replace it if I lose it?
>>546261518>>546261450there's 1000% gear based matchmaking. it's based on how expensive your loadout is. most of the time i'm taking ~30k worth of gear out. the one time i took out 65k worth of loot (snap hooks + vita + wolf packs) I get 4 tapped to the head by a guy casually walking with a tempest.
>>546260889literally can if you have hands neither stitcher nor kettle upgrades change their TTK nor their accuracy, and their STK is less than their mag sizeand that's just talking exclusively body shots. if you're hitting any headshots (which as a hunt player you should already understand the importance of this) in the process, it's trivial
>>546261656i regularly go loaded for bear on bunker runs and see 10+ freekit retards every single time
>>546261518you've identified how it could be possible to implement, not an idication that i already has, there's countless practical reasons to lock you into your loadout before matchmaking
>>546261651if you can find the blueprint or find another. just put it in your ass pocket when you want to use it and put it back
>>546261796yeah they shouldn't allow free kits for special map conditions imo
give me a perk that lets me self-detonate if i get downed, destroying everything in my backpack and depriving the rat FUCK who shot me in the back a single atom of gear
>>546261967they shouldn't allow them in general unless>rattler 1 only>identifiable humiliation uniform>no grenades or utilities>no shield recharge
>>546261967it's not like a ferro and a green augment costs much anyway
they really need to do something about the upgrade screen. it's default sorting is nonsensical and there's no way to change it
>>546262612true but at least they would lose any amount of real resources instead of stacking trios and pushing fights for literally free
Item Idea: Elevator Remote. Calls any elevator within 50 (maybe 100? That's a lot) meters.I can totally see this as an item that has a happy middle ground. Lots of players going: "fucking useless, just rush the button and take cover, who cares" some people who want to be mega extra cautious loving it. What do you guys think? I don't think I would personally take it in my loadout, but I could see it fitting in the game.
>>546262869this game already caters to cowards 1000% more than it should, fuck no
>>546262869seems pointless and 100 meters isnt much in this game
>>546262869there's already raider hatches. you can craft hatch keys. there's 0 need for anything like this
>>546263008Translation: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK YOU I WANT TO BE ABLE TO EXFIL CAMP pvptroons get the rope
>>546262869too niche of a use to be dedicated to an item slotalso this >>546263008 but "cowardice" is a meme when you're playing a game that can disrespect your time in multiple unavoidable way
Does "increased fire rate" apply to Osprey and/or Renegade? One's bolt-action, the other's lever-action.
>>546262709U.I. in general could use a bit of work.
is there a recipe for the vita spray?
>>546263406yeah. another peeve is the 10ft UI that sacrifices natural flow for top menus meant to be navigable by bumpers on a controller, massive text that limits info on screen, and menu stacking. like, why the fuck do is checking the upgrade mats for workbenches so fucking cumbersome? you have to>click the workbench at the bottom of the screen>click the level up at the top>click the next workbench on the left>click level up again at the topjust stay on the fucking level up screen if im in that screen on the previous one, it's atrocious
How many level 4 ferro shots does it take to take out a fucking rocketeer? I kept peeking and taking shots at the thrusters, but fuck me, it eventually got me due to me being stupid. Sidenote: Shooting out of windows and near walls is a fucking tragedy in this game. You keep getting caught on shit and shooting god knows where.
>>546263494
hear two people adjacent to space control tower>manage to place a zip up to it while they're distracted>place jolt mine at top>walk in>literally moments later hear a zip coming up>jolt pops>two splats and two raider flares>zip down>good guys>tells me it was a decent trap
>>546263406>a bit of workIt's easily the worst part of the game. They need to allow saved loadouts that automatically craft or buy the shit you use
>>546264012just use wolfpacks anon they are a literal cheat code, especially for rocketeers
>>546264070so cheapI need that
You know what would be neat? If on the interactive map websites, you could put in a list of all you need. Say, for my quest right now I need:>advanced mech components>Lab reagents>explosive compound>Cracked Bioscanner>Industrial Battery>advanced Electrical ComponentsAnd the site could show you what spots are highest priority for you to hit up, and which ones are less important. Like, with my current needs, I probably don't need residential, but industrial and medical are probably high up there. Having a route planner could be coolio.
>>546264190Wish I could, if I had the BP. I have 2 wolfpacks that I found and once I've thrown those it's ogre for me and the wolves.
>>546264301eh, i've memorized the major ones i needalso bioscanner is just medical, hit the med area in the admin building on dam and you'll easily get one per runalso, advanced e. components are in both electrical and tech loot zones, and i have easiest time getting those + processors on blue gate at pilgrims
>>546261650add another 2 russian kos today
>>546264301>advanced mech componentsjust extract and then recycle blue/purple guns
https://www.ign.com/articles/arc-raiders-first-major-update-north-line-goes-live-tomorrow-heres-what-to-expectlets gooo
>>546264591Thanks anon, but that's not exactly what I mean. It's nice that you're ready to jump in with tips on how and where to get stuff, and you are right that technically everything is "once you know where it is, you don't need such a feature". But it would still be a cool feature for the people who don't, you know? It's so that players who don't have that yet, and aren't in a community (4chins or elsewhere) have an easy way to look shit up. And for me personally, I just like to have it open on the second monitor, because truth be told between quests, specific arc kill components and general crafting upgrades, I have so much shit I need to loot (tagged where possible) that it would just be nice to have a reminder of what areas it's worth hiking towards, and which to avoid.
The inventory stash issue can be solved by making larger stack caps for some items. Arc Cells for one
i can't figure out what celeste's nationality is because i know full well this game doesn't want white people
>killed on sight multiple times in a row with good kits >THATS IT IM OUT FOR BLOOD>free kit with murderous intent>get the drop on a guy and mag dump him>doesnt down him because rattler 1>"come on man, it doesn't have to be like this">immediately awash with guilt>apologize to him on mic, drop him my healing items, have a nice chat with him, wish him good luck and part waysI CANT DO IT MAN. IM NOT BUILT FOR THIS.

Are people generally friendly on duo queue or is it only on solos?My girlfriend is begging me to buy it for us to play but she sucks ass at any shooters and will be dead weight so any fight we get into will be a 1v2
>>546265269idk my ex who was southern italian looked kinda like celeste
>>546264949>>546265290what the heck is a playstyle
>>546265138The inventory stash "issue" is designed to push you towards prestiging which gives stacking stash expansions.
>>546265138there's no stash issue, only a you issue. craft more items, bring more items, use more items.
>>546265290They're all this new shit already? Based. I mean obviously this stuff was done well before release but based. This is clearly to keep people playing when Tarkov drops
>>546263358most likely yes, if you're talking about the legendary stock
>>546265514you're probably right. i think most people aren't that excited for tarkov 1.0 tho except streamers lol. even my tarkov buddies that are gonna buy it guaranteed just aren't hyped.
>>546265421Probably means augments and their buffs.
>>546265421augment
>night raid buried shitty>waiting for train to return after an okayish haul>hear guy sliding down stairs, hit them with a dont shoot more for his sake because I'm rocking a Venator IV with blue vertical grip and extended mag>he opens fire on me, says nothing>I dodge roll into the darkness at the back of the subway station and then rip through his anus with the venator faster than he could reload or fire again>spam "dont shoot" emote at him 15 times before leaving on the train without himPeople are always so aggressive when they dont have to be
>>546265658Hasn't Tarkov really gone downhill recently? I hear people complaining about all sorts of shit. I find it hard to beleive 1.0 would fix all of that.
>>546265894Is the game still lousy with cheaters? "The wiggle" seems to have done a huge amount of damage
shut the FUCK up scrappy can i PLEASE have some peace and quiet while i manage my inventorygod fucking damnit
>>546265894my tarkov 1.0 buddies are playing PvE mode only and have played PvE-only for the last year or two, whenever it dropped.reminder to tune out any tarkov players lol. they dont know what its like playing a normal video game
I think embark were genuinely surprised how popular arc is becoming. Since MTXs are more of a business consideration than a gameplay thing, it makes sense that they priced their cosmetics higher based on a lower expected player count and now think they can do better by virtue of volume with a lower price point. My point here is to let them cook. This is polished enough to not be early access, but it's got all the pros AND cons of a live service game in current year. More content and adjustments are coming.
>>546264949New Weapon and Gameplay Items:>Energy Burst Battle Rifle>Impulse Mine, Timed Mine, Gas Jump MineI wonder how impulse and timed will go
>>546266001The first mod I download will be to mute the chicken.
>>546266129uhhthey don't typically let you mod these games anon
>solos>hear someone nearby>press escape>it lists one dude in proximity and he has TTV in his name>realize a streamer is more likely to murder me for his heckin epic clips>decide to not take any chances, reposition, and murder him from far away before he can notice meKOSing streamers is still fine, right?
>>546266129ha i just want a slider to turn down the lobby music. im in the workshop only because its quieter but still not quiet enough
>>546266098I would've preferred to see more weapons in gray/green tiers -- gray especially
accidentally found a decent hiding spot right outside the departure building, outside the windows from the red locker room. These vines are there even on low foliage so if you're ever in a fight here you can just run behind it.
>>546266098I feel like impulse is gonna be one of those mines that causes you to move around uncontrollably or something
I hope something like a bow and arrow is coming at some point. The projectile physics are already there for it.
>>546266403Nah probably like a knockback mine. Applies an impulse.
>>546266647I think a crossbow is likely at some point. Bow and arrow vs robots is simply TOO like Horizon
Just unlocked the Foundation stuff. Am I blind, or is there no way to track the asked for materials?
>>546265856basedkeep dabbing on the monkeys
>>546266762You need 8 arc alloy and 6 springs, king
How do you deal with this>looting in a room>freekit with ferro pokes his head into the room and shoots you while you're looting>he then proceeds to back up out of the room while reloadingWhat is the response here? Get to cover? By the time you get to cover he is sliding his way in to shoot you again. Pull out your weapon and chase? He's too far he will reload before you reach a good shooting position. You can't heal, because it's too slow and same with shield. Do you just stand still draw your weapon and hope he peaks perfectly into your crosshair and misses his shot?
>>546266224yes
Anyone got a good spot for cpu fans? I haven't found a single one
>>546266925dodge roll so he whiffs his second shot
>>546266925your only hope is that a) he has shit aimb) you have anything to hide behindif both are not true you are dead
>>546266879Lmao, yes obviously. I was more thinking in general for the future. (I also have a bad habit of just leaving white and green loot that I don't have specifically tagged for quests and loadout crafting). Remember next to this the game also wants me to get specific arc enemy drops, specific materials for crafting upgrades, and specific items for quests, so after all that, after a couple of matches it's easy to forget: "Wait, did I need more springs, or nah?"
>>546266925Push him because he will not hit my head with his second shot and I can kill him before he can fire the third one.
>>546264949>update dropping out of nowhere tomorrow with IGN giving the details before the dev's various socials that I follow solely to receive this informationwtf
>>546266925You just gotta play the game. He might also not be a freekit and pulling out his secondary to push you back.

>>546266925Bro? Your grenades?
the spawns in this game are so ass>spawn in on blue gate>run just slightly north>see a guy literally spawn in front of mewtf
What gun should I be using if I just started
>>546266925immediately block the door with barricade and walk away
>>546267720ferro + stitcher
>>546267637The other day I spawned in a warehouse on buried city like 30 seconds after another guy spawned there. he was still looting it when I appeared. We scared each other, laughed about it, and went about our way. But if he was a cunt he could have murdered me before I got out of the loading screen and if I was a cunt I could have blasted him in the ass while he was looting a box. The spawn system is broken
>>546266925>what do i do if my opponent has a superior position and a health advantage?lose?
>>546267743I need to craft a bunch of these now that I got the bp, seems like you can do some clutch things with them
>>546266762nope, they all you to track gear bench upgrades, quests, craftables yet somehow forgot expedition items.
I am fucking sick of being put into games that are half way through
>>546267890saved my ass a bunch of times and enabled wins
>>546266925Take a look at this devious little contraption here, anon https://streamable.com/cl5td5
>>546266925I'm on the "push him" side. Your best bet against a ferro pvper, is to be in his face, and hope close up he misses his shot and is forced to reload for 2 and a half minutes. Giving you time to blast time. The ferros strength is peeking out of cover, taking a medium to long distance shot, and going back to cover. So your choice is either to close the distance, or to run away by going around any corner. If you have a pvpkit, or expect pvp, bring stun mines. Make him chase you into one, or place one where you think he will come out to get him. Then blast his ass.
The key rooms really need to be buffed. The best things I got in a blue key room was an Arpeggio and a Blaze grenade...
>>546265283Based good man.
>>546265534Yes.But I just lost it to a dickhead player who shot me on sight.So we'll never know.
>>546267992I'm surprised they don't just let you track individual items either. My plan early on had been to "tag" all future needed quest items, but I got cucked there, too. Generally one of the most annoying and unsatisfying feelings in video games in general:>make a looter with pretty limited inventory>make getting that inventory out of a match potentially extremely hazardous>Also give the player a pretty limited out-of-match inventory, encouraging the selling of items not needed. >Make a bunch of items needed at LATER dates, with no way to know, unless the player looks it up on third party websites and keeps a listI get why it's there, and I'll deal, but honestly that's just shit game design. Nothing as frustrating as needing to sell a bunch of loot, only for a game to turn around and go: "Lol retard, you needed that but I didn't tell you yet.".
>>546268056>>546268068Barricades and traps make looting special rooms the easiest thing. Meanwhile most people I fight don't even use grenades. I cannot fathom why so many people ignore all the tools this game gives you
well that was the shortest raid I ever did>spawn in night buried city>loot random cabinet at my spawn point>wolfpack blueprintwas a freekit so I ran straight to exfil with my asshole puckered
>>546267637>>546267814Yesterday I spawned on the Dam, forget exactly where but I think it was near pattern house/broken bridge. I ran north/west and saw an open bunker, my immediate thought was "the map just started, wonder if there's someone in there". I ran down the bunker stairs and lo and behold there is indeed an AFK raider. At that point I'm in a bind because if he comes back his instinct will be to shoot me. I start to walk behind him into his blind spot, he immediately un-AFKs, rolls forward, I shoot him dead while he's angrily mumbling something on the voice chat. Shitty thing to do but I honestly didn't think the game would allow me to spawn so closely to someone else
>>546268732what map and where?
>me and another raider say don't shoot>hear a Ferro firing from nearby>felt like he's tried to shoot me but missed>aim at him>he says "go ahead go ahead I'm just trying to call a snitch">we both extractWas he being truthful, or was he hoping he could knock out my shield and steal my nonexistent loot?
>>546266879kek
>>546268825He probably wasn't AFK. The game loads your body in while you're still in the screen. You can even hear people moving next to you on the loading screen. You're completely powerless. He was probably freaking out
Give me one good reason why blueprints shouldn't carry over after doing an expedition.
>>546269061Didn't even think of that, could be. I figured he had dual monitors and was looking at something on one and then noticed me in front of him unexpectedly
>>546268945snitches are in demand rn
What are the chances of them banning me if I set up an auto hotkey script to enter matches and abandon while I sleep, farming some free rooster mats? Is it a hot take that rooster should just have mats per minute no matter what?
>>546268478Its by design, anonIt forces you to play for longer than you would have otherwise
>>546269263Why?
>4 sentinel Firing cores>sentines are extremely fucking rare >half the time their loot disappears when their body falls down.cool. I'm never gonna get Gunsmith 3, am I?
>>546269410the current trial for wasps can be boosted with snitch scanners
>>546269275this post is so broke reading it made me lose money
>>546269426look up raider maps, then path between downed couriers as a free kit. got tired of hunting for these fuckers on day maps as a solo, and discovered that couriers have a higher chance to drop them than purple cores/cells because they're blue
>>546269275>farming some free rooster matsyou'll run out of bag space so fast>But I'm going to sell the matsyou'd probably make more money from looting like 4 things than selling a full rooster supply. Seems pointless
Is there any point in redoing the quests after an expedition? I'm probably halfway through them and I think the only useful reward you get is the Hullcracker BP. They should at least let you keep quest BPs after an expedition.
what language is this guy speaking? he sounds like he has an american accent so it was freaking me outjust defib'd him after he got rocketeer'dhttps://streamable.com/umjq4n
>>546267748Can I farm them easy
Since a friendly anon traded me the bp yesterday already, it's up for grabs. Found it in the hydroponics.Interested in blaze traps, or anvil>>546270451They are essentially free even with mods and lvl IV as soon as you stop being retarded. They are free on level 1.
>you turn on a rat who tried to gank you and you winWhat do you say before you give him the fist
>>546270568turn on my mic so it pics up sound of my phone playing a looped farting noise
>>546270568The gamer word of course
>>546270568bush did 9/11
having the wolfpack recipe has to be like playing the game on easy mode
>>546269426
>>546270779It changes nothing. you never kill any big arc once you finished the workstations
>>546270779Wolfpacks are pretty common man. I have the recipe and haven't really had to make any. I haven't done queen yet so that might change
>>546270926Queen is Hullcracker territory. You don’t use Wolfpacks on her
I'm at like 97% of step 2 of the expedition, but I think I won't do it because fuck having to redo the quests and losing all the BPs. I got Anvil and Venator BPs which are apparently very sought after. I'd only wanna reset if you get insane cosmetics. For me it would be a cat ear bike helmet.
>>546271039Could you kill her with pot shots from an Anvil?
>>546271121For me it would be a micro bikini or a ghille suit
>>546270568nothing, because i don't want the other rats 5 miles away to know i'm still around
>>546271039can you solo queen without cheese? im down to use my stash to hullcracker her but dunno how hard it is
>>546271302>micro bikiniNever happening. Also the girls in this game have too wide frames for it to be attractive.
>>546270779thats what i thought but you have to farm oil for it, and it takes a ton of oil just for 1 wolfpack
>>546269579Thanks, I'll do that.
>>546268732ok just spamming night raids/electromagnetic storms and looting as many random containers as you can might be the strat
>>546271312>killed a rat >turned my mic on to talk smack>left it on by accident >was narrating my gameplay to my invisible guests in my living room the entire time
can anyone identify this language/what the fuck he's saying?>>546269992
>>546271121Honestly unless I get the tempest blueprint or all the purple mods I don't really care. You can find so many of the craftables in the world I haven't had to make much. One run of a raider cache event and you have all the throwables you need for a day or two
>>546271420it's not really hard, bunch of random rats will join in to steal your shit once they hear the noises
>>546271420yes. but will take you like 15 minutes
>>546271121I'll do the first expedition because I'm a retard but doubt I'll work for the next oneBesides we don't even know what the cosmetics look like
>>546270896How could they fix this? Make big arc loot necessary to craft tier 3 augments or mods maybe?
>>546271638I'm literally in it for one or two queen reactors. I just want to fuck around with the jupiter or equalizer and inevitably die to a rocketeer
>>546271653>Besides we don't even know what the cosmetics look likeI don't expect it to be anything but a backpack charm
>>546271302I'll take a tactical slingshot swimsuit with some ammo pouches attached to it
>>54626692510 billion grenades will fly through the doorway, a trick i've learned to push campers is to toss impacts while moving forward its a bit awkward but they either have to move out of cover or sit there and take the damage while i push them
>>546271743I killed the queen yesterday and even with bunch of rats stealing shit I got out like this.They nigged all the BP's if there were any tho
>>546208186any xp grinding tips?
brehs I just got a silencer blue print from a surveyorare they the sekrit meta for blueprints?
>>546271827abuse the instant queen kill glitch
Is the character creator the same as the playtest? As in all manfaced uggos?
>>546271563sounds like an east asian language of some description, some flavor of chinese/japanese/korean perhapsif you're west coast that would make the most sensehe uses google translate at some point to try and communicate
>>546255831>he thinks timing a successful extract halfway through a match is, "hOw FaSt CaN I gEt ThErE?"
>>546272038Yeah but you'll eventually cover their face anyways with the helmets
is wolfpack good for pvp?
>>546272001nta, cant anymore, they took the harvester out of the mode rotation to fix that shit
>>546272169no
>>546271921Yes, surveyors can drop BP, and they seem to draw from a different/better loot pool.
>>546272207its fuckin over, ive been seeing it happen but i never bothered to do it
>rat downs me >"beg for your life"fuck you
>>546272207the blaze trap one? I tried it yesterday multiple time but never managed to kill it, at best I got her ALMOST dead with 2
>>546272169it literally only works on ARC
>>546272260You would have robbed yourself of a proper dopamine hit from actually earning the kill
>>546271827no real tip; but, i'd often streak for dozens of rounds without dying, hitting good loot spots and killing arc and the runs would be like 6~8 minutes
>>546266000Tarkov has always been plagued by cheaters, still is
>>546271039What makes Wolfpack ineffective against the Queen?
>>546270568For the first one that tried today I just went "iiiiidioooot, iiiiidiiooooot", he gave up before I could finish giving him the fist. Didn't have time to call the 2nd one anything though, since some other numbnuts peeked his head in the doorway where someone was still bleeding out and ate some bullets for his curiosity when I wasn't sure yet whether I downed the guy that lit me up or some other unfortunate fellow. So I had to get out of dodge before one of the other 2~3 fellas in hospital got any ideas about vigilante justice. Match results showed the guy that I killed was the twat that lit me up though.
>>546272279sociopaths think we care that much about a silly game lmao
>>546270568I went AVGN on one, WHAT WERE YOU THINKIINGGGG
What do extract campers teams talk about when they waity? Do they jerk each other off?
>>546267057you mean cooling fans? spaceport, in the two rooms on top of launch towers, can find cooling fans just laying around up there
>>546270568It's a PvP game. PvP is allowed. I always find it really cringy when we fight and someone has to be a poor winner over it. I'm not gonna gloat if I beat you. It's always the PvE dudes who act like the biggest babies.
>>546270568Ask them if they're happy about getting their ebt back.
I am ready to pay real money for more stash space. Half of the shit I'm holding onto is shit that I need for workbench upgrades that all conveniently requires two stacks.
>>546272707Ah fuck. Guess I'm going to fuckin spaceport. Thanks anon.
>>546268732seems like night raid and random containers is where to find wolfpacks
>>546272347i already killed the queen at the end of the server slam with a bunch of free loadout goofs
>>546272785>workbench upgrades that all conveniently requires two stacks.This is the shit that kills me. So much storage space cucked by these upgrades.I cannot imagine how they thought trying to get people to do the expedition would work out when most people don't even have fully upgraded benches and won't want to unless they're so fully mazed by exiful shooters that they'd do it fucking anyway.
>>546272705they fuck each other's bussies
>>546272785sink it all into expedition
>zip up space control tower>jolt mine the zip>blaze nade trap the main zip in case someone miraculously has a key>barricade it after one dies with a smoke trap>have your own sniper nest
do people really fall for the girl voice changer? I had some guy following me wanting to 'help' me seriously gave me the ick
>showstopper doesn't prevent the leapers zap attackfeels like an oversight desu
>>546274023i help everyone. i know when someone is using a voice changer because women just talk differently than men. i just don't really give a shit.
>You lose workbenches when you do an expedition but not the workbench upgradesWhat the fuck am I reading
this seems like an oversight but I've also seen they have these in game already? but we should be able to have spy cameras/remote cameras like the security systems oh nvm I was thinking arena infinite
>>546274326Other way around anon.
>>546274326You have to craft the benches first, member?
Official Game Update:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9JeiBAAey4&feature=youtu.be
>>546274294Do you know how gays and fem men that have lots of women friends talk? It is quite weird having people try to flirt
>>546274486imagine how slow this shits gonna be with all the KOSniggers
>>546274486WE TUNNELING BOYS
>>546274486>community contribution items so we can "unlock" the new mapkino
>>546274460According to the wiki: your workshop is reset but your unlocked workshop stations are kept
>>546272378you can’t bring enough Wolfpacks with you to kill the Queen with it. she has an insane amount of health
>>546274617Based. This game is gonna be so kino with the continued support, and I think it is way more popular than they expected. Way more so that The Finals
Smoke nade trap is underrated, blocking the zip like this it just confuses the player once the smoke is set off. No choice but to zip down
>>546274617im gonna contribute fuck all you cucks can open the tunnel for me lol
>>546274617>they’ve been listening to mebased. now bring in 3 factions
>>546274486>>546274617https://arcraiders.com/en/news/north-line-updateMap unlock: Stella MontisCarved deep into the northern mountains, Stella Montis tempts Raiders to explore an abandoned facility that remains relatively well-preserved compared to the wreckage of the lower Rust Belt. Cold and sterile, these ruins hint at what humanity left behind in its push towards the stars.Looks like its an underground? indoors type space-related area
>>546274617Anyone who doesn't contribute isn't getting the secret rewards based fuck those thieves
>>546275337Sounds fucking kino. I hope there is tons of reverb and echo of raider voices and gun shots rattling off the walls. We're talking kino here boys
>>546269992>>546271563sounds like a russian or slav saying "give heal"
I know people like to make climate change political but I'm betting the people on this planet fucked with the environment to make the super storms that killed everyone and then fucked off to space. They are the bad guys tm. You can't even pretend they aren't planning the same here with the Mars project and building massive underground bunkers to avoid the deaths the plebs will suffer.
>>546272778I probably wouldn't gloat at anyone looking for a fight, but more often than not the people starting shit with me are people that hover around me and then start popping me in the back when they think they'll get a free win. They aren't looking for pvp, they're just looking to rat and nick my shit. I'm under no obligation to treat a rat like a human.
>>546275623Climate change isn't political; it's existential
>>546275575>>546269992It's just a Korean saying give heal he wants you to stabilize him so he doesn't bleed out. Use the context and try to decipher with your ear. Even with accents and poor English you usually can figure it out.
>>546274617but I'm not even done with my expedition yet dang it>>546275337>indoors mapkino kino
>>546275623>I'm betting the people on this planet fucked with the environment to make the super storms that killed everyone and then fucked off to spaceThere's 0% chance that was intentional on the richfags part. They raped the planet, the planet raped them, they left to make earth 2.0 because it's popular in scifi and manchild billionaire's minds to assume we can terraform another planet when we can't even control our own weather, they realized how stupid it was and are trying to come back with a robot army. On the plus side we get cool map weather modifiers.
The burletta is fucking dog poop
Hi Baker! Hi Baker! Hi Baker!
>>546197841I've been grunting and growling at women and other solos and duos alike. I've been screaming at them as I knock them out.It's so fun, the game is alright though
>Finally find one of those fabled Supply Call Stations>Use it>Wait a good amount of time for it to arrive>it's a level 1 ferro, some ammo and 2 white bandages. That's it? This needed to be that rare, and had people fighting each other over it?
>>546274486>doesn't show the new enemies, weapons, or map even as a teasewtf
>>546276090You need a tease for something releasing tomorrow? Experience it for yourself dummy
>>546276080yeah they are shit
>>546276070Lmao you just make animal noises and have a schizo moment when you encounter people? Sounds brilliant
>>546275956wrongit and the kettle (statistic-wise they're the same gun) absolutely pump
>>546276281Shit is an understatement, lmao.
>>546276080 I have frequently received 2 blue weapons from drops. It's a bit different every time, just like raider caches.
During the raider cache event I noticed people don't even dig up over half of them. Maybe it helps im wearing surround sound headphones
Anyone know what's in this? Seems to be a little puzzle that needs 2 arc power cells (at least) but I was attacked as I was figuring it out.
>>546276313It gets better.I grunt, growl and sniff at peopleI remember chanting "SHOW US YER PROSTATE"I remember saying "FIST ME" whenever I get knocked down.I remember a kid mocking me for downing him and I would be screaming incomprehensible nonsense to drown out his woes.I make sure to grunt deeply into my microphone whenever I see people, and grunt whenever I throw gas grenades haphazardly.I remember calling people "AGENTS OF ZOG, BEWARE MY POWER" before I run at them with grenades
>>546276623cell goes in bottom, dodge past flames and go in to the backput in 2nd cell, dodge past the flames and go out and up. walk along the catwalk that opened up, dodge the flames again, and hit the thing at the end for your looti think it's arc loot, maybe chance of BPs i don't know i'm ignorant
>>546276524Main difference beeing that raider caches don't send a giant flare the brightness of the sun into the sky, alerting every PvPer on the entire map with enough time for them to converge on you. >>546276589I'm gonna be honest: I have never been able to "hear" a raider cache, approximately 100% of them I've found by running around somewhere and noticing the "Press E" prompt popping up. Only thing I've ever found by sound are these big arc dildos.
>>546276327why would I run the burletta then?
>>546276842They make a clicking sound. You definitely need surround audio to orient yourself to where they are.
>>546276623idk but you're trans if that matters
>>546276658Making gorilla noises as you descend upon downed players will always be funny.
>>546277207>>546277207>>546277207new raid
>>546277034better handling, much better reload times, and i think probably better bullet velocity
>>546277190"You look like my mom""Your face looks like my new handbag""I haven't had an orgasm in 25 years, you'll do."
>>546276658Earths sanest raider
I like being at the point where I never have to worry about bringing purples into raid
>>546277341Kek
>>546274536yes. i know why they're doing it, but im here to play a game, so i don't care. in fact many guys probably do the same thing
>>546277504there aren't even any purple weapons worth using
