>>546579317oops, forgot to add #24, this is the 24th general thread for all the autists.
I heard someone say that tempest, volcano and bobcat BPs are locked behind the expedition and you cant drop them until you have done it at least onceWhat do you think?Has anyone in here ever found a BP for one of those guns?
Protip: On the Dam, at the extract point near the Water Treatment Control building, there are a couple of pipes that run along above the extract. There is a possible gun case spawn at one end of the pipes, and an ammo case can spawn at the other end where it goes into the hill. These pipes are also a great location to troll the fuck out of the leaper that often spawns nearby, because it's too fucking fat to jump and stay on the pipes.
i just downed a dude who begged to be revived... so i revived. he then followed me and shot me in the back (and got smoked again)these ones are 100% sociopaths, yea?
>>546579790I secretly bring defibs every solo game and I never revive the ones who beg for it. They're advertising they think you exist to benefit them and probably have good shit on them too.
>bro one or two blaze grenade max bro MELTS leapers bro like and subscribe>leaper eats all 5 of my blaze grenades>run away to regroup and end up getting absolutely carried by some random>leaves me all the loot and exfilsI feel equal parts angry misinformed and emasculated
>no /arg/ in subject/postretard OP
Also, the Venator fucking SUCKS. I'm selling all mine
>27 day event that most people will complete in 3-5 days??? we're being drip fed content
>>546580407you have to level it to 4 if not 3 NOOB
>>546580440yea im done it in like 1-2 runs and ive been taking breaks
>dude voice friendly>ask to team up to hit a room>hits me in the back of the head 5 seconds laterAlright fuck this shit.
>>546580407Venators good ur just bad
>loot one area for ~4 minutes on new map
>>546579995leapers often hurt themselves by jumping into stuff and damaging themselves, so the creator probably hit an already-half dead leaper and killed them with that. >>546580440don't no-life a game.>>546580023make it yourself next time then, general was down for over 10+ minutes.
>>546580751the medical area is INSANE
>>546580853I'm trying to farm security in the hopes it has the blueprints for the pink augments. The assembly area is usually devoid of players has tons of high value electronics and parts with a hatch right next to it
if anyone wants to see this sociopathic behavior,https://streamable.com/8f1xnmre: >>546579790
>>546580751>Worthless garbageFor real now, once you have enough crafting materials and money, what even is the point of looting random shit?The only thing i ever care for are BPs and pink guns, everything else is just useless junk ill sell as soon as i get back to speranza, cant even fit it in my inventory anymore due to all tue other shit i have
>never find any blueprints>much less blueprints for gunsI think the lack of my owning gun blueprints is part of why recovering after a death sucks so much right now
I have multiple times been forcibly made party to a 'don't shoot' scam and I don't appreciate it
>>546580842>make it yourself next time thenor just copy/paste correctly
>>546581093>what even is the point of looting random shit?Eventually you reach a point where it's not random anymoreCanisters, oil, compound for nadesSprings and tape for gun modsVoltage for pink shieldHerb for vita sprayAnd more I wont listI basically give zero shit about loot "value" now, I have 1.2 mil in my stash, I'm just looking for shit that I can actually use
>>546579317literally unplayable
>>546581386I've found several of theseMy favourite is the rock floating in(ish) a tree by the dam
>>546580653>>546581197Sociopaths will soon turn this game into full KOS because nobody will want to take any chances to be betrayed once more. If i'd just shot people instead of trying to make friends, i would have killed a LOT of those niggers.
>been ganked 5 times now by camping literal niggers in the new mapok faggots, I'm going KOS and swapping to the red&black armor with the facemask
>get led on a tour across stella montis in the final 5 minutes by a guy with just a hairpin who already had the whole map and its side routes memorizedBased autist.
>>546581703Literally ten minutes after the map was released I was already being lead around by everyone I partied with. I have no fucking idea where these freaks get all their information from
Did the door exploit get patched?
>>546581093I just like seeing number go up, now I'm over a million
>>546581816Not yet.
I haven't seen a single blueprint in my time at Stella Montis.
>>546581165Weapon BPs are the biggest meme. Unless you're dying every other raid, I don't see how you aren't constantly dealing with a surplus of green/blues. Recovering after a death sucks because there's it's simply a pain in the ass to go through a bunch of different menus to put together a loadout with utility beyond ammo/bandages/shield rechargers.
Where do you farm steel springs?I need so many of them but I hardly find any
>>546581382>Eventually you reach a point where it's not random anymore>Canisters, oil, compound for nades>Springs and tape for gun mods>Voltage for pink shield>Herb for vita spray>And more I wont listYeah, and once you get to a point where you have a few stacks of these useful items and no more room for anymore?I have been hoarding heals and crafting materials since i started and now i got no need for any more, so whats the point?
>>546582171theyre kinda everywhere, i get alot of them from the cars on bluegate. celeste also trades them for seeds
>>546582171Industrial sections of the maps (or mechanical, I can't remember). Also, and this is helpful in general, but having a good idea of blue items that you can recycle in raid for the component you're looking for is nice so you can maximize your backpack efficiency. Things like spring cushions and cooling coils recycle into springs.
>>546582171mechanical objects
seems like the shredder is the new rocketeer
just got gamer'd
>>546582012I looted the bp for the aug with a free shield charger off a guy who died to a shredderOther than that, i have found none either
400 inventory spaces and then MAYBE the game will be playable. Until then im going back to fortnite
The key rooms on stella montis have been absolute shit so far
>>546582325games like this are balanced around the assumption you're going to lose your loadout at least 50% of the time
Look what kind of losers the game is attracting.>8000 hours on Rust>Multiple cheat bansGuy barely qualifies as human
>>546582325I just farm the fuck out of electrical loot, I've been turning everything into advanced electronics and power rods
So what kind of weapon mods does this slot take?
>>546582892the shit kind
>>546582892There's a legendary mod that makes every Anvil bullet split into four smaller bullets.
I use 9 jolt mines a match I need parts and loot to feed my jolt mine pipeline
tempted to just sell everything in my stash and exclusively run free kitsdoes raw cash count for 'stash value' as far as the self wipe is concerned?
It's really shitty that raider hatches are closed for major map events. At least one or two should be open. The only reason for disagreeing is you're an extraction camping nigger.
as if this already wasn't dogshit enough, the adrenaline shot doesn't actually work. i just had my shields broken at low stamina and i didn't get shit. i was lucky i could slowly walk to cover
>>546582705when i am king of the world i will publicly execute these people
>>546582074I've had a real unlucky streak today i'm getting killed by free kit niggers left and right but I guess 99% of gamblers quit right before they strike it big
>>546581093still need mats to upgrade those anvil 4s when you inevitably get domed by an extraction camping freekit
>>546583524You become so rich that you only hatch key very quickly
>>546582992Honestly I might do the same.It is shocking how worthless everything in this game is, as far as upgrades go. Weapons, shields, perks save for a few. Every blue and green weapon I've collected is garbage right now. Not sure if I'll sell or recycle just yet though. I'm just going to upgrade my grey shit and slap some shit on it and run frees any time I lose anything. I kind of like the spontaneity and random shit freekits give anyways.
>>546582325>eah, and once you get to a point where you have a few stacks of these useful items and no more room for anymore?Then you use em, simple as
>>546583627Cant hatch key during night raids, though
>>546583706Which is why I don't play them
>>546583346Yeah that one is garbage I only use this one. I have like 20 of them in my stash and take em to every raid. Saves my ass with increased crawl speed and never being able to die from bleeding out. I'd be bummed if I had crappy augments I got really lucky on that blueprint.
>>546583627you cant use the hatch on modifiers thoughever
>spawn in stela montis>guy already camping my spawn>kill him>five ticks spawn out of nowhere and rape met-thanks
I WILL FREE KITI WILL SHOOT YOU ON SIGHTI WILL RUIN YOUR FUNAND I'LL LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT
>>546584095
Things are about to get groovy.
>>546584337>zero simple gun parts>zero mech componentslol
(nta but) how should i be farming simple gun parts? they are the ultimate bottleneck
>>546584064Hearing other people spawn in around you is so fucking weird, what a shit map
>>546584585wasps drop them
>>546584585Kill drones or loot security breaches
>>546584645You can also hear people on floors above as if they were right next to you when they apeal with their mics.
>>546584836Speak with their mics*whoops
>>546582012I want the thick one to sit on my face and fart multiple times (while giving me a handjob until I ejaculate)if you know what I mean
>watch streamers just ruin anyone they run into>99% of the kills are just unaware people and retardsThere's barely anyone actually skilled in solo and its all just sociopaths, rats and jolly cooperation faggots, huh
I've hit security in lobby on stella montis 5 tmes and only gotten a bettina blueprint. I was hoping the black military cases would have actual bps like blue gate
I love Stella montis so much!!
This guy extract camps you, what slur are you saying?
>try to extract on stella>almost get instakilled by some guy cornercamping with a torrente>heal, poke, then sprint to the second extract entrance to flank>die to a second guy camping the other corner with a torrenteVery nice
>>546579385i dunno man I like in raid crafting hatch keys
pro tip for 280/280 gods: split your ammo on your raider so that bought/crafted ammo fills your pockets without you needing to make as much room in the stash
i love griefing the matriarch
I'm fine with the simplicity of the stash system but I did always enjoy organizing loots inside bags inside boxes inside crates inside backpacks
>>546585776>faggot KOS armor>didn't even loot anything goodwow you sure showed us bro'
>>546583795This aug will make you hate your "fellow" man a lot more than othersImagine you get knocked down by a rocketeer or a bastion, crawl your way to extract and right before the elevator arrives a guy shows up and knocks you out for no reason than just because he couldPersonally, i never knock people out at extract unless they attack me first, but then again, i am white and theres a lot of low trust shitskins playing this game
>>546585776Damn buddy that's like 1.5 locker runs worth of guns there.
>>546585387None because i dont have a mic yet
>>546585776buddy mugged the local hobo
Going into elevator/vent/metro should shield you from knockout attempts.
>>546585885>>546585941>>546586080stop acting like you arent doing the same thing
>>546585270This game just isn't sweaty. If you're skilled at third person shooters or games in general you get so many easy kills in this
>>546585776Holy shit you got TWO broken anvils?!
you keep vanity items in your stash so your raider has a nice home right?
>>546579726>because it's too fucking fat to jump and stay on the pipescan't it knock you off the pipes?>>546579995I pretty much killed one with 1 blaze grenade but you gotta hide in that building near water treatment so the leaper just basically stands on top of your blaze grenade without moving.>this strategy is retarded though because every faggot in the whole raid will see what you're doing and either come kill you or try to steal the leaper from you
>>546586319I would love to, unfortunately I have NO FUCKING SPACE
>>546586319im not adding shit into my room until they make dedicated slots for that shit
What kind of blue gate key is this
>>546586319I have many duckies
I need Leaper Pulse Units for a table upgrade.Those only come from downed leapers, or can I acquire them elsewhere?
>take stitcher and ferro to night buried city>stalked a deaf idiot as he runs through the entire hospital somehow uncontested looting everything>as he goes for the elevator shaft zipline dome him with ferro and a few stichera shots, he panicks and misses the grab>see flare go off when he hits the bottomlol, lmao>>546586319my snowglobe collection will continue to grow
>>546579665I've never seen them. Maybe thats why Bettina is the most common, every time you got a Bettina the rng decided on a purple gun, but because you haven't expeditioned you dont get the other options and it defaults to Bettina
>>546581021that's so fucking funny, you're brave for taking that fight without panicking at all though, he actually almost killed you at 1:07 (nice roll) and again when you rushed straight at him at 1:16 (did he run out of ammo or something?)
>>546586839You can probably get them from Couriers like all the other ARC stuff. Probably rare as hell though; I haven't seen one.
>try to help a guy fight a shredder>throw a heavy fuse nade>explosion makes shredder come fly towards uswe didn't die but I was laughing my ass off
>>546586840>>546586319apparently the weapons rack can get a visual uprade but no idea how
>>546579726Whenever I call the elevator the ammo case spot is where I hide because you have a massive cliff behind you covering your flank and both your right and left and also no one really looks up there. I've never once seen the ammo case looted whenever it was spawned up there.
>>546586546theoretically yeah it could hit me off the pipes, but all i do is just roll outta the way because the leaper's not changing direction mid-air after it jumps at me
Someone is going to die a very painful death
The new map is basically CoD death match. This game sucks in cramped corridors.
>>546587764there should be 20 mini leapers running about the corridors to make it more interesting
>>546587681Why wouldn't you just put explosive mines down
Isn't a single wolf pack supposed to be able to oneshot a rocketeer? What am I doing wrong since it's not even on fire after chucking 1
>>546587238it's showing the bobcat/vulcano/tempest/renegade I've got fully upgradednot sure what the criteria is for them to show, maybe the most expensive by value?
>>546587896nta but i ran through 2-3 the other day and lived (heavy shield though)
>>546588031that was only in very specific scenarios or if it took damage before2 should guarantee a down though
>>546588031When I fought a rocketeer, I threw the wolfpack and got the Steam cheevo for "taking down three ARCs with one wolfpack", even though I saw no other ARCs in the vicinity. Seems to me like wolfpack missiles go in all sorts of directions, pursuing even far-away targets. Maybe the same thing happened to you, and not all of wolfpack missiles hit the rocketeer?Anyway, in my case, the rocketeer did become set on fire, but did not die, so I had to painstakingly finish it off with my Ferro.
It pisses me off how bad I am at this game.
Anyone here play the OG 3rd person Rainbow Six Vegas?
Sound is so fucked in this game. It's like it's based on linear distance and it doesn't matter if there are 40 walls between you.
>>546588402eyy, yea. game was sick
>>546586642Pilgrims peak there's a room in the bottom area that is locked. That opens it.
>>546588293>>546588331I see, thanks.
What’s the best location to find bobcat, tempest or volcano blueprints?
>>546585923youre not high trust because youre white, youre high trust because you grew up in a low competition low risk suburban environment which turned you into a low T cuck
spawned beside old town hatch and it's a KOS lobby so i have to hide. i'm scawed
>>546588689brown
>>546588689>muh T muh T I'm a big manSay that to a bullet kiddo
This game stresses me out man
>>546588689>low competition low risk suburban environmentthose places got that way by people working together in a civil fashion and not being niggers
>>546588292Would you not be able to tank two trigger nades with a heavy shield?
>>546588756>>546588803>softoids mad they cannot suppress their emotional response to defend themselvesyou are basically a woman kek
>>546587896Explo mine does 40 damage. The det bomb does 90. The det bomb is also cheaper
>>546588031Why do people see 1 youtube clip and take it as fact
I'm gonna dodge people/shoot them on sight unless there's a good reason not to. Fuck this shit. Even r*dditors are going full KOS.
>>546588872that maybe true, but it doesnt change the fact that the environment created low T retards like you. it's not your fault that you were born into an era of prosperity, never struggled and thus do not have the ability to exploit rather than cooperate.sorry anon, but it's probably too late now. suburban + single mom upbrining turned you into a cuck.
>>546588331>>546588031From my exp the wolfpack tries to send at least one rocket at every arc in its 100m radius.
>>546588926Still brown.
>>546588031it is possible but only under ideal condition. 2 wolfpacks is basically guaranteed tho.
>>546589289And a massive waste when it takes like 2 anvil shots once the first wolfpack hits
If you bring spare shields you can replace your broken ones and constantly keep a strong shield
I cant even run free loadouts and die without having to manage my fucking stash now because of these event rewards
>load into blue gate to grab my final leaper parts>bring stitcher, ferro, looting1, lshield, ammo, 2 shield/2bandage + 3snap nades, thats all>spawn exactly at 30mins fresh lobby>spawn next to that building up north where Leapers almost always show up>go inside to kill some of the exploding balls and grab a free fire bomb>immediately get shot with a ferro from behind, literally one shot until dead>its yet another yellow suit nigger with the clown hairstyle>play peekaboo on a pillar and almost kill the retard who was missing all his kettler shots somehowHope it was worth all the negative healing fucking low iq chimp, what is wrong with these brownoids?
>>546588727dude still came for me... what the fuck?
>have 2000 cred>they didn't release a new raider deck for me to buy outwtf
>>546589627They already said it's coming in December.The current event thing is basically a free lite deck anyways
>>546589618"YOU FUCKING RAT, HOLY SHIT. HOW LONG WERE YOU WAITING THERE? YOU FUCKING PUSSY"11 minutesalso reported (just in case)
>aggro a rocketeer and immediately activate and jump into a raider hatch>it fires a rocket>the rocket goes into the raider hatch>all of speranza explodes
What's the staying power of this game? Is it a FOTM already or should i buy?
>>546582012>snake tattooShe takes it up the ass. No lube required. In fact, unwanted.
>>546589336while true its still risky and the longer you take the more niggers will show up
>try new map>getting blasted from the get goyeah I'm gonna free kit to do my quests and never play on Stella again
Alright boys just got done with an 11 hour shift and I've got another one tomorrow and the next day, time to slam hard liquor and execute rats.
>>546590191brain damage
Comfy solo is coming to an end. There's way too many sociopaths and KOS people running around. Almost every time someone tries to team up they end up betrayed. It was fun while it lasted.
>>546590378I have been hearing this every single day for 2 weeks meanwhile I just got off a couple hours of stella montis runs where not a single shot was fired in pvp.
>>546590545Well you're fucking lucky because i've been having only KOS lobbies or lying psychos
Holy shit, rocketeers are fucking relentless. I thought I had escaped one, making quite some distance from it, and relaxed, only to suddenly get a rocket shot up my ass.
>>546590545Your elo and gear is too low so nobody wants to pvp or do something different, there are lobbies full of degenerates
>>546589498if I had a tier 3 looter augment blueprint, I'd be running that too
>>546589874It's not FOTM, it's genuinely fun and novel, not just addicting crack that scratches an itch for a minute and then is worthless. But long term longevity I don't know, depends on your metric of "being dead", I guess. It's probably similar to HD2 which isn't dead by any sane metric, but certain faggots would call dead because it's significantly lower than peak players.This game will probably also go through waves of meta behavior similar to SoT, since it's in part a PvP sandbox. People will get more and more aggro as they get tired/weary of strangers. Then they'll go friendly as they get tired of playing the game like a BR all the time, then back to aggro. That makes the longevity a little more volatile than HD2.
it's bullshit this isn't compatible with the kettle
the desync is still so fucking bad, jesus fucking christ man
>>546591312and why the fuck does a "tactical" bag have more ass pockets than a "looter" bag?
>someone dies at extract>watch for the other guy to come up and finish him off>shield cracked, he panics>died to lightningholy fuck lmao
>>546591634>>546583346i was saying up here; the fucking thing doesn't even work. it's the worst augment by farit comes with built in binoculars though...
MY ALLIES LITERAL 10 YEAR OLDS FUUCKK
Night maps are cancerous cocksucker fests because the last team will camp the extract until the game ends. Fucking losers.
I just did a labs run where I KoS'd 4 people then switched up mid raid and was friendly with everyone else
There needs to be a co-op arc raiders in first person. The sound design and ai design is too good for a game where you can get killed by Timmy Freekit who stalked you with third person hacks for 5 minutes and then sprinted on you during a boss arc fight, but you couldn't hear over the robots and music.Arc is supposed to be cool and dangerous, but right now because of the PvP elements Arc is an annoyance (giving away your position) and a setpiece to admire from afar (big arc). Outside of grinding XP before the nerfs and when people were still mostly friendly, I see no reason to ever do the queen or matriarch or even fight bastion/bombadier/rocketeers/leapers. The loot is good, but the risk is way too high and the best thing you get from fighting big arc is a blueprint for a gun that only works on big arc and money which you can get the same amount of money quietly looting lockers and shelves with the sellables. The reward is shit and the risk is insanely high.
>>546581093The obvious thing is being able to sell items for cash shop currency at a harsh transaction rate becoming a feature. But unfortunately only Arrowhead are actually good third person shooter devs and all the rest are greedy scum.
>>546591987An empty vessel can carry more water than a filled one
>>546584585Salvage any green weapons you pick up unless they are already level 3-4. You get so many
So Stella is high risk high reward right? So many blues and purples but so many raider rats nearby
dunno bros, i actually fuck w this
>>546592220As big of a PvE slut as I am, there is no point. Arc does not have enough content for PvE at all and the options for fixing this are going to be too laborious for these devs. They would have to drastically increase the number of enemies while increasing the number of mechanics for those enemies and correlating tools. There is a reason why Arc went from PvE to PvP and its because PvP is the lazy devs choice. Its easy to make and easy to maintain.
I have a silencer 2 blueprint and a venator blueprintAnyone want to trade?
idk i kinda like being a technocowboy
>>546591678Lightning storms are kino but since they're technically night raids, everyone is KOSniggering
>solo queue new map>pretty much all friendly people>group queue>every single encounter has been hostile
>>546592272They will never do that, unfortunately, but id be satisfied if they at least added a market feature where players could sell and buy items, weapons, loot and BPs using either the main in game currency or the premium oneIt just makes sense to add trading to such a game, not trading of skins or cosmetics, but at least trading loot
>>546592427Well obviously its not a lot of content because the game revolved around extraction shooter elements. I'm suggesting Embark use the assets from this game to create an actual story driven co-op pve game in the same universe. Basically completely different core gameplay
>>546592521groups are for the normal people who want to have fun with their friends, solos are for the weird asocial faggots that want a friendship simulator
>>546592521Man how dare people pvp in a pvp game, how frustrating!
I spawned into stellar mortis and there was a group of 3 right right nearbu, someone threw an impact grenade and they ganged up on me i hate this reddit game.
>>546592432Show us your BP catalogue so we know what you dont have
>>546592663The mark of good satire is being indistinguishable from retardation.
>>546592657>I'm suggesting Embark use the assets from this game to create an actual story driven co-op pve game in the same universe.Embark are controlled by Nexon, who are controlled by dumb fuck asian markets. You will never get a costly PvE story based game from Embark because Nexon won't allow it.
>>546579317Real talk how long is this game gonna last?
>>546592993depends on how quickly they update to address the glaring issuesif we don't get a balance patch for another month expect a sharp decline
>>546592773I'm missing everything on the top row except the Bettina and missing everything on the bottom row
>>546592657>I'm suggesting Embark use the assets from this game to create an actual story driven-
So seed vault is pretty interestingDefinitely a low risk way to keep ur seed supply up
How do I stop being a BPlet?
>>546592457The loot seemed the same as day and the arc was a little more active. Definitely not going back to it
>>546593227And don't forget, Celeste loves raiders with high seed counts.
>>546592427I think it was a mistake doing triple A singleplayer game production on the map and sound design. People are gonna want a singleplayer game out of this so bad even though it's a pure multiplayer game.>>546592829Nexon is extremely hands-off and basically doesn't care, they just wanted an 'in' to the western games market by buying western talent to produce it for them. If this was a Nexon overseen game, the character designs and cosmetics would look more like something from The First Descendent which is a game they actually are in charge of developing.
>>546593046There's a guy who really, really wants the silencer 2 bp. Up to 2000 fucking seeds or whatever else you can imagine
>>546593046Well, you already have everything i could offer, but goodluck finding someone to trade with
>>546593038Like the spawning issues? I can barely play due to storage space and if you’re not interested in pvp theres not much to do other than collect wires and fight with inventory.
>>546593425>If this was a Nexon overseen game, the character designs and cosmetics would look more like something from The First DescendentFuck...
>>546593460Damn this guy needs to log the fuck on>>546593468:(
>>546593460what stops him from killing you for the bp? can you trade in the shooting range?
>>546593560Honor system bro, I've never been betrayed by anyone I've ever interacted with directly from 4chan in my 16 years here.
>>546593560Teammates can't kill you unless they use really obvious traps and you have to be retarded to stand still. I've given out 3 anvil bp's to anons so far, and I have another if someone needs it
>>546593712>anvil bpI need it, but I'm on PS5
>>546593560Can you kill people in the same squad as you?In any case, you are meant to keep the bp in your ass pocket and only drop it when you are making the deal, so if he kills you he gets nothing
>blaze queen farm and repeatnice game!!
trade with me faggots
>>546593835>Can you kill people in the same squad as you?Only shit like the blaze traps can do team damage, guns and nades can't. People only recently discovered you could potentially kill a teammate
I thought teammates could trade in the lobby anyway? Someone was saying he crafts people shit if they join his game and pool their resources?
>>546593227what the heck, i kept getting 1 seed from the cylinders. red tree stays winning?
I don't think ARC needs a singleplayer game in the same universe, but the sound, visual and map design in this game are absolute best in class and I hope Embark gets the chance to make some sort of singleplayer game in a similarly haunted world
lol lmao
seed vault kind of good if you are behind on exp and want to sit on a trillion seeds. full clear is like 13-17k exp and 80+ seeds unless someone else is also taking seeds in sub 10 minutes per run and if you extract with nearby door its 20k+ exp easily, pretty nice to do when im waiting for my squad to log on since most solos are still just exploring/friendly right now.

Embark really should just make their own Battlefield

>>546593425>Nexon is extremely hands-off and basically doe-Clearly comes from a place outside of decades of conditioning of self-sustaining bad will administered by Nexon towards western markets. I envy you.These greedy gooks are tenured in sucking money out of people. These niggas are greed incarnate. Their devs have no agency once the checkbook balances even if they've pulled the right levers to make you think otherwise. Their Embark publishing is an outliar, for sure. But if you think they've changed tune because of two games, their dick is already halfway up your ass. "They're hands offf" why? Because they believe in creative process? No, payday is their only objective. And in terms of profitability, this game is competing against every mobile game on the market which is probably making profit hand over fist above Arc Raiders.

We'll look back and say "man, you had to be there"
What's it like having the attention span of a mouse zoom zooms? This your first time juggling 5-7 different games and playing them between updates? Life must seem so short when you're that young
In what way does arc raiders benefit from being third person? I feel like it would be a strict improvement if the game was first person
>>546595252To sell cosmetics. Also make it easier by being able to peek corners without exposing yourself.
>>546595252it completely changes the dynamics of combat, making it slower and more methodical>but you can see other people when you're in coveryeah that's the entire point, it's a feature of the genre
There's 0 upsides to being friendly to freekits and those people that run in with an empty inventoryAll they have to offer is running by and taking anything good and then running away, why wouldn't you shoot them?

>>546596073Last guy I killed I defibbed and brought to hatch
Solo queue isn't bad, but the pvp really doesn't shine unless you're playing with a squad. It's a totally different game.
>>546596043Sir punchalot
The only BPs that matter are the advanced parts and attachments so you can upgrade your guns.I have literally never crafted a gun myself yet. I just loot and upgrade themBlaze grenades would be nice to craft too I suppose...
>>546596281I have never crafted advanced gun parts a single time, I always loot them from security lockers
>>546596281Shit, there's no bp for blaze grenades?What's the best way of acquiring them, then?
>>546596281Anvil doesn't need any attachments at all and the Venator only really needs a basic extended mag (which you can buy)
>>546596351There is a bp for blaze grenades. Other than getting the bp, play freekit and get one or loot security lockers and grenade tubes
>>546596351There is absolutely a blaze grenade BP, I have it.
There should be a mechanic where you can drag a downed player around before they bleed out and/or die.
>cant stack the snowglobesfuck this game i'm refunding
>>546596443>>546596464Ah, good to know.I'll keep hunting for one, then.Gonna have myself a leaper hunting season next week.
>>546596001i can't always tell
>>546596001You waste ammo and attract agro?Just letting you know you can kill me when I have a zero load out but it won't unthrow that glow stick at you
I'm addicted to downing people in solos and then not bothering to even execute and loot them
>>546594671>>546594939That was exceptionally fun. My biggest recs are to find spots where you can throw nades where they airburst on someone and bring a suppressed gun to aggro drones from far away to patrol over top of the corpses
>someone acting sus at evac>put their ass down>tell them to crawl into the eleCrisis averted bro why do people make being nice difficult
>>546596968I wait until the match is almost over and then hatch key my way out. There is always some faggot waiting in a bush so I have a smoke + barricade + shock mine on standby
They actually balanced security lockers pretty well.Theyre still absolutely worth going for, but theyre not so broken that its the sole thing you want to farm.Definitely still the best skill tree path
>>546596547they really need to have separate sections in the stash with different limits instead of just one big (not big) pileit's fucking retarded that you can't keep xbox-huge stacks of meds and ammo and crafting ingredients around
You ever justI wonder what happened after I left, maybe someone else had a hatch key
>>546597420The hatch closes if the key owner leaves?
>Run Stella Montis freekit to learn the map>Die to Il Toro IV in under a minute>Try again>Die to Il Toro IV in under a minute>Try again>Die to Il Toro IV in under a minute>Try again>Takes me ten minutes to make my way to an exit, have to kill four other guys just to get there, everybody's sneaking around like rats and any corner could lead to a fightOn the one hand, this is retarded. On the other hand it's actually fun. I think I might like this map.
>>546597514It only stays open for a handful of seconds, maybe 4, possibly 6 raiders if they are quick
>>546597078If you try to kill me at extract I'm knocking you out even if I'm not looting you
>>546597514it only stays open for 10 secondswhich gives 3 raiders just barely enough time to get in, given some lag and the forced animation of each person entering
>>546597543I run around that map saying hello raider and don't shoot and have only died like 3 times doing ~30 or so runs at least
If you ever want actual loot you can just spend the first few minutes of a raid camping a security locker. Everyone running them is using ven 4 or some equally upgraded bs.He died, I wish I hadn't clipped it early
The wild differences in people's solo experience are really obviously due to kill/combat based sbmm. In a normal game, you have a bell curve. Most players are somewhere in the middle of the pack. In arc raiders, you have a huge spike at "0 elo", (players who don't engage in regular combat), and then a much smaller bell curve on the right side of the skill distribution for KOS players.So as soon as you have a decent game where you get a few kills, you're pretty much done getting carebear lobbies forever. There will still be some raiders who prox chat, but they'll either be cracked out players who get a ton of defensive kills (rare) or rat fucks who intend to disarm you and then betray (common)..
>>546597641I'm in it for the love of the game
>>546598084i don't know, man. i ran threes w/ friends and killed dozens of squads, then i went solo into friendly lobbies
>>546598123show your name so i know who to call a nigger
>>546598198I'll let you know
>>546598123Your stepdad made the right decision to beat you as a child
>>546598354>>546598198
>>546595012I wouldnt argue that Korean publishers aren't some of the scummiest companies out there, KRAFTON especially is fucking evil. However, i don't think they expect Arc or Finals to be anywhere on the same level as Dungeon Fighter or Maplestory sales which are easily 1000x anything Embark could hope to achieve. To me this appears to be some kind of move for prestige among the western markets in hopes to be a publisher that produces games that garner respect and not contempt. And i think they're definitely going to sweep GOTY for best multiplayer title this year if PEAK doesn't take it.
>>546596989>negroid activity>negroid skin color
>>546598493You know, you keep saying that, but I'm white. It's just the sun and color filtering in raid
how do you leave the stella mortis map bros?
>>546598723That's the cool part, you don't!
>>546598723Lobby metro or hatch key in assembly are the safest options
Everyone I match with says my username for some reasonOnly about half can actually read it despite it being a simple word though
>>546598568still a faggot though
>>546598780is it just like a normal elevator? im so lost and confused
>>546598123Some men just want to watch the world burn...
>>546598842Trains, like buried city. There is writing all over the walls that says, "metro entrance," with a stairway down
>>546598723ask one of the 20 raiders around you to send you to the lobby
>>546598723I found the seed vault extract to be pretty goodIts fairly secluded and theres usually a shredder around to stop any funny business and keep people knocked down
time for some solo labs fragging wish me luck bros
Why didn't you guys tell me Night Raids were kino?
Do not trust players who do not speak or use the emote wheel in any capacity, they are psychopaths.
Why the fuck are the supply drops so bad?Itd be a cool way to initiate PvP on the map. Giant flare in the sky, everyone comes to fight for the supply drop.Except the drops are the equivalent to 30 seconds of looting a random room. Completely not worth fighting for
running out of stash space, can't think of anywhere else to start than to upgrade my arsenal first.
>>546599785they seem to have a fairly high chance of getting a wolfpack out of them though
>>546599785Rust/Tarkov/DayZ airdrops where everyone on the map wants what's inside because it's just that good. Pink guns, bp's, grenades, etc
>>546599942>upgrading ferroswhy
>>546599698Hey man, i just dont have a micBesides, getting betrayed by a guy who uses his words to get you to lower your guard is a lot more painfulI had just spawned on dam and was making my way towards the domes to look for plants when this random guy shows up and starts talking "hey man, where you going, thats the wrong way" (i was heading away from the top extract)I pull out my anvil and shoot towards the domes to let him understand, then when i start to reload he opens up on me with his stitcherI barely have time to get one shot off before i am dead, doesnt even say anything, just finishes me off like a psychoI had no good loot either, just some heals, a lvl2 revolver and a kettle, so it didnt make a hole in my wallet, but it still hurt People who speak and act all friendly and then betray and murder you in cold blood are complete subhumans and should unironically be killed irl
>>546600045>running out of stash spaceand ferro 4 is a marked improvement for skeet shooting wasps and hornets
>>54660004540% faster reload at IV is the only reason, and they're still cheap
What was the real selling point of this game for (You), Anonymous Poster?
>>546600106just buy a $20 mic bro
>>546599785They really should be better. If anything supply drops should be as good as the security breaches used to be, but should always spawn one higher level Arc as well as the flare being more ostentatious to draw more player attention. Put Vulcanos in those fuckers and see how quickly people start gunning for them.
>>546600106I hate the social engineering psychopaths the most. Guys who say, "Don't shoot I'm friendly," after firing the first shot so everyone within earshot tries to kill me and help him. I was on the new map running around, met some people in medical, and then this dude comes up to me and says, "I don't trust this guy." That's literally all it took for everyone to just watch as he gunned me down for no reason. The worst place to be in a friendly solo lobby is around a group of people. Get in and get out if you need something, maybe stick with one dude if you feel like trusting him, but never more
just killed someone at extract with a venny
>>546598723Gotta press the button in the generator room that turns on the elevators, or you can leave via the air ducts but only if you don't have a backpack
I kill tranime posters on-sight
>>546599785Supply drops, the boxes you deliver to field depots and baron husks should all be better, they're currently only worth doing if you're extremely poor or have a daily quest
>>546597641I play by old cowpolk rules. If you threaten me I'll put you down. But I'll protect you even then if I don't know you were malicious. Your ass rides the elevator if I didn't see you being a rat.
>>546600132>>546600163an Anvil 1 hard clears a Ferro 4
>>546600381At this point I'm only friendly with people that I KNOW I can trust, which are guys that totally get the drop on me but choose to reveal themselves and go unarmed anyway. They could have murdered me instantly but chose not to, so it's almost certain that they're not going to try it later. If anybody else tries it I'm firing first, and if I let someone go but they start hovering around me like a plague I'm killing them anyway.
What’s the best way to farm blueprints?
3 kills and 2 exfils so far, this game is too easy
the venator 4 is so fucking stupid, genuinely cant believe they havent nerfed this shit yet
>>546586642opens this door in pilgrims peak

killed the guy camping the testing annex balcony extract, and then i killed the two guys in the extract
Is it better to play Stella montis solo? I keep getting slaughtered every round in teams.
>>546600905I only play it solo and refuse to play it with friends
I wish you could make your character look cool.
Blue Zone is still the worst map in the game.>>546600271It's a time sink and I have no life.
>>546600905Yeah, it is. I've gotten a ton of shit solo. Get within a short sprint of an evac and wait until you hear people moving or breaching, then rush them down with something that can kill quick, like a stitcher. Take everything, then look for more prey or evac. I've grabbed probably ~300k worth of guns in the past couple hours running free kits because morons keep bringing absurd loadouts only to get raped from around a corner by a stitcher 1.
>>546600271It's an extract shooter that isn't tarkov, a tarkov clone, or hunt showdown with shitty german retard devs
>>546601090Blue Gate is amazingthe only bad map is Buried City
>>546601236Kind of wish Hunt Showdown had gone with its original concept of a mass enemy coop shooter akin to L4D, KF, or WWZ.
>>546601324Buried city is kino. Spaceport is boring as shit. Dam is ok.
This game sucks wheres the bikini skins and jiggle physics
>>546601441Hey post that in /hdg/ as well

Never trust trios with the same skin. If I shoot you twice don't ask me to stop because I'm not. I'm nice to all the kids I find playing.

There's a difference between acting defensively and acting sketchy. Don't be surprised if you get soaked because you homeboy pulled a quick ads.
>>546602241Just say you KOS there is no shame in it
>>546602001why would you follow a philosophy revolving around being sad

Chads: KOS or Always Friendly, always consistent, logical and both equally valid Small Penis: "Friendly" who justify murder, low IQ and likely no sex life Retards: Campers This is an objective fact.
Am I retarded or do the quests become "look around for 5 hours for an interact button with next to no hints, or look online to look exactly where to go"? I'm a purefag so this is revolting me and if I'm clues I'd like to be called a retard.
>>546602643They definitely become that. The descriptions get more vague and the interactables get more hidden
>>546602643A lot of them are like that yes it is retarded
>>546594671>>546596989Such an awesome spot. Is there any similar spot on the southside of the Dam map, in case I spawn down there? Best I've found so far is a little mountain between electrical substation and scrap yard forest, but it's not overlooking an extraction point
>>546602574Im a camper, but also friendly. An anomaly
>>546602904Not technically south, but you can zip to the satellite dishes in swamp. Extremely high quality spot for osprey trolling
So what future maps do you think they’ll add? Maybe a map near the volcano.
I wouldn’t mind a tempest BP sometime after my 200th hour
>>546603027Next map is going to be a space map. We're going to the orbital stations to fight the super rich evil walle guys sending murderbots down. Zero G environments like dead space.
>>546602574what if I KOS then decide to be friendly after a few kills
71 skillpoints gets you every worthwhile node in the gameso the only reason to bother with expeditions is however many additional inventory slots it gets youbut at the cost of regularly losing all your good leveled benches and blueprints
How many players did you KOS today?
>see arc pathing in one direction>cool>it turns around and paths directly into me for whatever fucking reasonepic
what's a good way to get blueprints or is it literally just looting everything for a chance? i've played 50 hours and only got 6 blueprints and they're for some of the most useless things imaginable
>>546603585just loot more containers, preferably in high value areas during special events like night raidit's annoying but that's what it takes
>>546603414I knocked a dude in the elevator cause I thought he was this dude who was silent onnthe mic and actibg sketchy as fuck but kept running into me all match. But then he called me a dick and I realized it wasnt the guy but the match ended before I could apologize.Now that guy is gonna be weary of strangers exfiling and forever think I'm sone kind of elevator rude-along knocking dick.Feels awful.
PRO TIP: never rush a corner camper. toss a grenade instead.
Why yes, I did just murder a bunch of free kits. How could you tell?
Thoughts on shredders?

>>546603775Haven't been doing night raids or the electromagnetic storms but I usually hang out in red zones, guess i'll loiter around them some more
Has anyone found a tempest or bobcat blueprint?
Yeah getting kos'd sucks, but it also makes those moment were you and several random raidere silently mutually agree to cooperate while the extract situation is completely fucked so much more meaningful. And I don't think those moments will ever go away, assuming they don't nerf the arc.
>>546604713they won't nerf arcif anything they might buff themnormal missions should have arc spawning and behaving like they currently do in night raids, and then crank night raids up to 10/10
>>546604479I've personally asked this and seen several others ask, and at this point I'm confident in saying they don't exist. Why, the fuck if I know.
>>546601708>So once you finish all the missions and upgrade your benches... why even play?to shoot people in the back at extract and hear their lamentation
any update on the shit you find in the new map for quests?
does celeste take your seed or only mine?
>>546602574This
>>546602574I KOS if i get an advantageous position. there's no way to know if that person would have KOSd me or not if the position is reversed.If its a neutral position i.e front to front, then we can cooperate.I might get another account just to niggermaxx i dont want people to blacklist my main account it might come back to bite me in the future.btw can you hide your steam account from people you shoot in the back?
>>546605201just search containers. I found both in the breachable door room near the security bridge
>>546602946Same here
>>546605410Celeste takes everyone's seed, it's kind of hot
So what's the deal with this quest? Just gotta hit it lucky and find purples in raid?
I will not be playing night raids again, there is always a nigger in a corner waiting. And I keep getting latespawns
the only good map in the game is space port
>>546604861agreed. arc should be way more aggressive we need more roaming ground arcs that are map wide
this shit made me go ahead and finally try the finals and what the fuck that game is so much better
>do dam day 1>day 2 new mapboy what a difference having shredders being FNAF screaming at you in hallways
this game is far better during the week when all the responsible adults are playing and all the niggers are at prison work camp and all the children are being killed in school

im level 18 about to hit 20 for the project thing.do i want to do these things asap? anyone have the image of what happens when you do these?
So how do you progress in this game?so I spawn into a mapgrab random scraps to fill my inventoryextract if possiblerepeat

Why the hell would I go toe-to-toe with upwards of twenty Arc at once for ~5k worth of loot?
>>546606825better than losing your shit
so do you only do one expedition per 8 weeks or can you do many in that window?
>>546607134only one
>>546607198oh thank god. thanks
>>546606881Yeah literally anywhere else where you can find a sample analyzer is better for getting seeds than the actual seed vault

>>546606825yeah but if you catch him doing something you can have his venator 4 for free
>>546607587I don't fucking want venators. I want blueprints
well then, guess I won't be ranking up.
>>546607450>look at me i killed a guy with his back turned to meokay?

>>546581021Everyone who has betrayed me sounds exactly like that dude or a nigger

>>546607727This is what happens when you launch a game with no waifus. How else do you attract the type of autist willing to re-post a general properly?
>>546607869Gave me a bunch of really rare blueprints, so yes
>>546607907Ah shit, okay.

>2 guys yells friendly in solo>I yell it back>We go on about our business>2 minutes later he shoots me in the back, and tells me he's going to kill the other guy nextI hate this game.
>>546608274I've seen this question a million times and the answer is always, "just be lucky bro," with a mix of night raid, key rooms, and looting lockers/cabinets in residential
>>546608437So if I don't want to run keys, night raids and looting in residential area tags woul dbe best? What's the point of the high value loot areas by the way?
>>546608381Lesson learned. Never be "friendly" in places that you're actually planning to hang out and loot, and never do it in a high value location.
>>546608101Go naked except for a green augment on buried city, put a blueprint in your safe pocket and suicide. Check the clinic or the space building.
>>546608532There seem to be different blueprint spawn groups based on the container and area. Residential tends to have grenade/attachments. Apparently the blue gate military boxes have rare augment blueprints. Higher value loot areas seem to just have more and higher quality drops in them. I loot a green key room in a yellow area and get mediocre shit. I loot a green key room in a red zone and get really fucking good loot
>>546608718>>546608782Okay, thank you.
>>546581021>who raised you
If 1 person in a raid dies, does that mean there will be 1 late spawn? Or is it a threshold of death that triggers the raid to open back up for late spawns?
>>546608598Funny thing is the only thing I lost was some low level meds and shitty guns, my keycard I was planning to use was in my prison wallet.
Oh boy a bunch of new mcguffin items and no increase to our stash spaceAt least the magnetron and ion sputter seem to only exist to be recycled? Or do I need them for a quest
so where’s all the actual good loot on Stella Montis?It’s just scrap
>join game late>all the loot is gone>sit at extraction and kill the first person that comes>extractI'm going to start doing this from now on.
>seed vault >1 seed per vault
>>546609064Up the ass of the one retard that was actually dumb enough to bring a full kit. Every Stella run I've done is just me and a gaggle of other rabid freekits murdering each other to claim the one Vulcano that some dork brought along, not knowing how quickly he'd get eaten alive.
>>546609064All the map specific loot is high value and scraps down into advanced mechanical/advanced electronic parts or exodus parts. I hit security in lobby, specifically the room on the second floor by the stairs as well as the north of assembly by the hatch
>>546608101do Harvester event and hope someone will want to trade you for the equalizer/jupiter blueprints
>287/280 stash space used>oh man, I better craft stuff>craft a bunch of items>289/280cmon man
>>546609202unironically this. Saw like 6 bodies on the floor at the medical lab and every single one was a freeloader
alright im just freeloading on stella until I get a magnetron and extract im not wasting anymore resources on this dogshit map
>>546609272I look at my count of mechanical/electrical parts and craft until I finish off whatever stack is missing a few
anyone know what rank cantina legend needs?kind of annoying how you can't see what number you need to hit to get each rank
>3* every trial >can barely keep my rank
Where the fuck are these red markers??
>>546609373You get put into a bracket with 100 people at the same rank as you. If you get in top 50 you get promoted to the next rank at the end. If you get top 20 you go up to ranks. There is no bonus reward for being #1 in your bracket as far as I know. There is no cantina legends yet because the game hasn't had enough trials for anyone to reach it
>>546609454on little poles
>>546609454They're little flags on car's 'n shit. Just use the map for literally every quest and forget finding it yourself: https://metaforge.app/arc-raiders/map/buried-city
Do harder maps just have better gear rarity or something?Also this game gets way more fun when you know the maps more. S.mortis was a fucking fnaf nightmare but now I love it
>>546609557Underage
Apparently the SM loot is hiding behind puzzles
>>546609481There is still a minimum requirement to enter a rank, I want to know what that isthere is a definitive top 100 which means someone is rank 100 and there's a number to it.
>>546609635It has the blue gate color terminal and a bunch of batteries to open doors, I dunno about any others. Nothing was that amazing although I have yet to loot the pink key room yet. The loose loot around the map is unironically better than most of the key rooms and I haven't gotten shit for blueprints in all of my runs
who here slowpoke
>>546609669I would think it's all relative to the other players in the bracket, so it doesn't matter? You can check your bracket specifically if you want
Why does everyone just kill on sight now? Had people talking yesterday, now it's just silence, hounding kills, corner camping the elevator to kill people extracting
>>546609787>It doesn't matterThe top 100 refers to worldwide...
>>546609883Yes, you stupid nigger. And no one is fucking in it because THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ENOUGH TRIALS. You can only move up up to 2 ranks per trial
>>546609185Yeah, SEED vault, not SEEDS vault
>>546609735Me
Where the hell do I find motors? Ive opened every car in buried city parking garage 2 times over and found 0
>>546610143It appears they can be found in MECHANICAL AREAS
>>546610143water treament has a spawn on a green chair near the orange lockers in the front reception room
>>546610143Bus engines can have them I think
Stella is either everyone being gay chungus or everyone out for blood
>be PvE fag>want to equip looting 2 at a minimum for all the carry weight and slots>but also want to equip a blue shield to not fall victim to random ferro fags turning me into their loot goblin.What do?
>>546610327In my experience it's everyone's cool except the one guy around a random corner who you'll never see coming
How do deadline mines work? It doesn't sound like they work on proximity and instead they just explode after 6 seconds? That doesn't seem very useful
>>546610740You can stick them to big nigs
>>546610803I wonder if I can stick them to players to
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9wmDddu5xl0
>>546610740Might work well with a shock mine
Do trials not count if you die?
>>546611056They do not
>>546611173Goddamn it. I was doing just fine sniping Wasps minding my business, and after about 8 some fucking actual chink came up behind me and killed me.I don't think I feel like deslkbg with these, even for BPs.
I wish there was some way to actually get a Tempest every now and then without being extraordinarily lucky. It's not even THAT good, I just think it's cool.
>hold up in annex on dam>shock mines on doors, the usual>see a retard shooting drones off in the distance>pop a shot and break his shield, go back to watching the main area outside>take another look at where he was last seen>still peaking constantly>give him another one>he runs ~300m and right into shock mine and diesI really don't understand
>>546611395I brought a hullkbreaker and a good amount of ammo to spaceport during the bunker and just sat around farming bastions when they respawned, and wasps from snitches in the meantime. If you kill a wasp with the hullbreaker it counts as like ~560 damage each. You can also kill a snitch right as it calls down the patrol and get its snitch scanner to spawn another patrol right after
What happens if you use a snitch scanner on new map
>>546611395You have to stay aware. Every single time I've spent time PvEing I get third partied. You can either keep moving along or set up some mines so you have a defensible PvE nest but you can't just sit there taking pop shots are ARC and expect no one is gonna roll up on you.
no blueprint, no need.
>>546611567it does snitch scanner things
>>546611964Post creds
>>546611567there's an area in the middle that has open air, you can still use it there
Finished this a few hours ago, it's really easy and you have 22 days to do it still
if it doesnt state in that gray text that its used to craft something, it doesnt mean i should recycle it straight away right?
>>546612147Wouldn't be as easy for gamer dads with an hour to play a week
>>546612307It's weird playing games catered to people with less time
>>546612213theres a lot of things you need for bench upgrades or the project
>>546612213
>need leaper units>pull some leaper near a house for cover>some stitcher fag comes by and blows me within an inch of my life>turn around and Dirty Harry him with my anvilReally the lowest of the low.
>spawn late>hear a venator nigger and flares going off nearbycool
>>546612307I think having 24 days to do this, it's pretty doable on an hour a day.
>finally have enough tokens for driftcoat>store says it'll refresh in 6 daysmight just wait, might not
Bettina would be the best gun in the game if it used medium ammo.
>>546613057Then it would just be a worse Tempest
>>546612532if it could have a magazine mod*
do you guys use combat, looting or tactical augments?
I just unlocked the next level. This is gonna take forever. Guess I'll pop on some looting 2 or 3, and just load myself up with blues literally just to sell, lmao.
>>546613363Remember that you're wiping so you can basically shove your entire inventory in there on the last day. It's not so bad
>>546613284there's one that gives you 3 additional heal slots which is really good against matriarchand the blue/purple combat that gives 1-2 healing/5 secs is also good
>>546613284tac mk3 right now, before it was combat or tac 2
>>546613284Mk2 tactical. I'd use mk 3 looting survivor if I had the blueprint
>>546613476this doesn't make much sense when people need to make space for those things, easier to just dump it when you have it
I swear to god this game is rigged to summon 3 arcs on you at spawn if you do a few successful extractions in a row.
>>546613284I'm a goblin, so looting
>>546613363Provisions is easy to get. Go to Spaceport and rush Control Tower A6. I've found so much shit to just sell, it's usually worth like 70k a run
>>546613568heh
>third partied by an il toro>lose hullcracker and 48 rounds of ammoYeah the wasp trials, and the trials in general, can fuck off.
>still playing only dam after doing all the quests and I wish I wasn't such a loser, but the other maps just seem worse
>>546613951?????
>>546613951this one sucks>only 1 tac slot that is permanently sucked up by binoculars
>>546614007The only map I like other than Dam is Spaceport. Buried City is pretty cool too though. Blue is ass.
>loot breach server????
>>546613968Do quests and get the hullcracker bp and the ammo bp
>have enough "free" currency to buy a paypig outfit I like whenever one comes outnoice
>If your skin is brown, I gun you down Too many niggers turn around and shoot the person who could have easily killed them, but chose the high road. If you want to act like niggers, you're not going to be able to wear your own skin color anymore. No more passes.

Fucking what?'>he answers with genuibe surprise 'a-ah nah you're good man! chill, fuck, chill!' and runs awayPeople are so fucking stupid I just can't believe it sometimes.
>>546613968>hullcracker for wasp trialbro, your silenced ferro?
This game has a worse gear fear problem than TarkovPerhaps its intentional, but PK-ing is almost always a net negative and seemingly only exists to grief you out of mid-level materials; anything of any real value(blueprints) will get shoved up your rectum.
>get a blue gate village key>blue key so figure it should be pretty neat for loot>absolute shit and the only things of note were an il torro and an anvil
>>546614514>if their skin is white, avoid a fight
>>546614643Do you just hit the red areas on repeat or do you have a certain route you like?
>>546614669>but PK-ing is almost always a net negativeyeah that's a good thing
>>546614667It would have theoretically only taken like four or five wasps or something since each one was worth like 880 points. I think three stas is 4k damage right? I already don't remeber.
>>546614735If I spawn south I do a security breach run up until santa maria houseIf I spawn north I do the breach room near train station then empty libraryI also bring a zipline to do the lockers on the roof of Hospital
>>546614750I forgot the 2nd half of my post for some reason, but I was going to go on to say that Blueprints create this weird paradox where people refuse to use anything until they get a BP of it, and since BP droprates are bugged or are fucking dogshit, you never ever loot anything good off a corpse.My question is why the fuck are BPs so gatekept when we already have a decently grindy gatekeeping system in the bench upgrades.
>>546613476I was worried there was a stage after this, but I guess stage 6 is departure. Still need to farm some, tho, because if I select "select all" the only fully completed part will be Materials, (600k total, lmao. >>546613827Thanks for the tip anon! I do belive I have a couple keys I could use up. >>546613613Yeah I was actually super thankful to be able to dump some shit and get some form of meaningful progress instead of just turning it into cash, which you gain faster than you can spend if you play a lot. What I'm still not sure on is if I want to actually expedition. Is the bonus gonna be worth it to not have Anvil & Wolfpack BP any more? I gained both these BPs through trading the first time around, meaning in roughly 60 hours of play I have never ever even seen these BPs. If it wasn't for that, I'd still be running around with a level 4 ferro. At this point, losing your blue prints seems far worse than gaining 5 extra skill points and 5 extra stash spaces or whatever.
>>546614505Its a pretty decent sign of confidence when a game lets players acquire premium currency without paying.
How the FUCK do I get the Radio Renegade outfit? I'm getting stuff for it but I don't have the outfit itself
>>546614669>PK-ing is almost always a net negative and seemingly only exists to grief you out of mid-level materialsNot if you:>go in with a free kit>not a ferro?>kill self>repeatNow literally run around the map, towards exfils or where people are fighting arcs, most people are greedy like me and run looting augs so they're shieldlets, take their shit and exfil. Easy, risk free PvP. I don't know why anyone would go in and risk good gear PvPing, if the "2 shots and 90% of players are dead" weapon can be head in a free loadout. I dunno, maybe free kits should do 70% reduced damage to other players unless the free kit gets attacked first. It's certainly how I'm gonna regain my stash after expedition.
His vendor icon always looks like picolo wearing sunglasses to me
>>546615036Seems kinda shit compared to dam or spaceport where there are 2 security lockers right next to eachother more often, as well just having more
>playing the new update for the first time yesterday>buy a hullcracker and 3 stacks of ammo for it, stuff the ammo in my ass and start a raid>crash, for the first time since launch while fighting>don't get back in time to rejoin the match so im back at the main menu>don't have the bp for the hullcracker so go back to my normal loadout as i cant buy another>log in today and buy my hullcracker>go to add it and start a raid>no ammo, even though it was stuffed up my ass with a 3 slot augmentI feel cheated. Now I need to grind some roubles
>do literally anything>some rat flocks to you and shoots you in the back
>going to do a quest>go to jump from one spot to another>for some unknown reason get knocked back and can't grab the ledge>fall to my deathNobody is finding my body even though I didn't really have much of anything but god damn, that was fucking retarded
Stella Montis peak anti-rat map designFerrofags can't do shit and Stichers can be dealt with via putting down traps and closing doors and also just keeping a shotty in your 2nd slot.
did they buff my lil‘toro?
>>546581093you loot shit so you can take on big arc, of course you can't because pvpnigs will kill you in a second
>>546615735They just need to make a flying arc or multiple flying arc spawn whenever a flare goes up outside (if you get got in a building, you most likely could have avoided it). Takes like 8-10 seconds to fly over and will already be red aggro'd if a person is anywhere near your body. Make it stronger than wasps/hornets, but not as bad as the rocketeer. Now killing people wantonly and without a plan out in the open is an actual danger (most people can't get to flares fast enough and that only really happens on night maps anyways), now shooting someone doing arc boss fights has a risk and consequence and requires KOSers to have more than a freekit to deal with it, like a wolfpack.
I fucking hate Blue Gate so much it's unreal. I'm already so fucking tired of the fucking quests here.>>546615735It's starting to feel that way.
How many wolfpacks does it take to kill a Rocketeer?
You know what would make me expedition?>one of your weapon slots is now a safe slot. Let me bring my a fucking hullbreaker without having to worry that someone is gonna blast me in the back and take my candy. Who cares if they take my level 4 anvil with the blue compensator. They can have it. But replacing purple weapons is a fucking pain.
>>546617165One and a few ferro/anvil shots. Sometimes just one if you get lucky
>>546617165a single deadline mine
I’m having a good time on NA for the most part. If you want to witness true RATTING, hop on EU
>>546617232I had a few south americans and chinks get into NA, you better believe they were subhuman niggers
>>546617232it's the fucking tarkov players, EU is full of them
>quests are all meaningless garbage where you go to a place and click a thing>building your benches up just kind of ups your QoL, most of the good guns are garbage so you don't need a good bench for them>pvp sucks because the netcode is non functional and surprise cornering is near unbeatable due to the third person >PvP doubly sucks due to insane weapon imbalance>PvP TRIPLY sucks because most people are NOT participating in it, and thus almost all fights are surprised fights against children>Most of the interesting PvE encounters require many people, and are extremely susceptible to being ratted>The only thing that keeps people going is acquiring loot for ??? reasons
>>546614505I'm just on the fence about getting the torpedo or keep waiting for something else. I'd like something that looks cool and is also stealthy.>>546617201They said expeditions will give you bonus skill points based on the value of your stash, so I assume people who do expeditions are going to be able to have more than just 75 skills.
>>546617331I live for the thrill of some retard opening a door and getting shock mined and killed before the animation even finishes
>>546617165If you don't have the wolfpack BP, or at least a metric shitton of wolfpacks in your inventory, don't waste them on leapers or Rocketeers, both of them are completely outplayed by taking cover and taking your time to shoot. Anvil if you have it and are in a rush, but level 4 ferro works just as well. >find rocketeer neer building>make sure building has an open door>shoot thruster>walk in >shoot thruster again>see aiming laser and rocket warning sound>dodge away from rocketeer into the house, it will shoot where you stood, really safe shit>go back out>shoot thruster again.It'll be armored at first, but after a couple shots, the armor falls off and you got yourself a weakspot. bring 80 ammo, you're likely to need 40 shots if you don't hit the weakspot every time. If you have blaze nades, or walmart brand blaze nades from the fire ball enemies, bring them and throw them at it. It's been heavily nerfed but it's still a good amount of free damage. Keep your wolfpacks for bastions and bombardiers.
>>546617315is tarkov KOScentral?
>>546617631Yes, Tarkov is a super sweat game and it's especially bad when at least 1/10th of the players are hackers using ESP.
>>546617729ESP = ?
>>546617529>peekshoot it over and overhow about no
>>546617165Do the opposite of what >>546617529 saysSave wolfpacks for leapers and rocketeers because they are far more annoying to kill than bombardiers and bastions
>>546617757Seeing everyone on the map through walls.
>>546617839so a wallhack
>>546617165If you're lucky, one. Two will do it for sure, providing you have no other targets near and every missile focuses on rocketeer.
>>546617165One if you're lucky, get a perfect airburst right above it, and there aren't any other ARC around to steal missile lock-ons. Otherwise two, but the second will be overkill. If it's cores you're after just wait until the electrified husks event and go farm them from the static rocketeer husks on the map.
>>546617891what all arc husks are on the electrified husk event?
>>546617165One is underkill and two is overkill. It's kind of annoying. I just use two.
>>546618129Go to the old battlegrounds on dam, you'll find dozens of downed rocketeers and other drones. If the husk event is active they will have better loot, including intact rocketeer drives and hornet/wasp drives
>>546617413Yeah but, even if they gave me 10 more skill points, with all due respect: who gives a shit? You were only ever short on skill points because security breach was busted strong, and you needed to manage forced 37 points spend, to build into other shit. Now with security breach being fully optional, you can make a "you don't need anything else" build with literally 50 points, and then just pick whatever you want. If they gave me 50 skill points, right now on top of what I already have, I'm not sure I would even bother to allocate them. For what, getting the wasp melee damage perk? Lol. Lmao, even. Show me a level 75 build, and point out where you could spend 5 more point for a noticable boost. Or heck, even a boost worth leveling to 75 again for. you lose all your BP too. so say goodbye anvil, say goodbye hullcracker (well that one is easy to get again, just spam quests like a madman), say goodbye venator, say goodbye wolfpack, say goodbye smoke grenades, say goodbye everything else good. Would you really do this for 5 inventory space and 5 skill points? I wouldn't do this for 50 inventory and 50 skill points. But give me a "secure" weapon slot? Now we're talking. That I might reset all my shit for. And then reset all my shit again so I can keep it next season. I mean no really, most talents are so bad, who cares about getting extra skill points?
>heading to extract>see someone go toward it earlier but hear no extraction called>sus>see someone else head toward the same extract>they call it and start looting>the rat with the stitcher crawls out from the bushes and starts creeping toward the other guy>wait for the rat to engage first>shoot the rat from behind and save the other playerthere's always a bigger rat
why doesn't the skill tree have numbers?now what?
>>546618591It's so funny hearing people say that security breach is useless now. I rushed the fuck out of it and hit it countless times before most people had it, and even with the nerf it's still great. I genuinely have no idea why everyone is saying it's useless or shit now, unless they didn't have it before the patch and only got it now
>Rocketeers are free loot from a building. Okay, yeah. But what the fuck do I actually do if a rocketeer catches me out in the open? Every time this happened, they just fucking butt-blast me, and without a hullcracker or some wolfpacks in the inventory, it's not like it can be shot down like a wasp, hornet or snitch, it takes like a full stack of anvil shots. What do you do?
>>546617207>>546617803>>546617873>>546617891>>546618157ty bros
>>546618798yeah I'll still roll a free kit to a security locker and pull out a venator to go rat with, they're just not shitting out bobcats like they used to
>>546598568you are a nigger inside
>>546618927Plan A: Don't get caught out in the openPlan B: Dodge roll your way back to a building
>>546618927Be calm. Walk until you see the laser or hear it firing, then run diagonally away for a short distance. Every third shot it will do a barrage of ~3 rockets. You can survive forever with a rocketeer chasing you if you don't panic and conserve stamina
>>546618798I mean I didn't say it was useless now, just that it was optional now. Personally I think giving you a purple every round was pretty much justified by the fact that it costs 37 fucking levels of investment, and you have to reach them in possibly highly contested areas, and have to extract with them, since weapons can't be shoved up your ass. So people are / were upset because 37 levels is like up to 60 hours for a lot of shitters, only to then have the perk nerfed to "sometimes" give something good. In my opinion security breach should have always been given the level of loot it has now, but the talent should be a 15 point requirement, not a 36 one.
>>546619056>>546619159I guess I fail at the "don't panic" bit. Specially if ti comes with wasps 'n other shit, too. Good to know that the barrage is every third shot, because that's what usually kills me. Being out of stamina when the god damn barrage hits.
>>546619264>it costs 37 fucking levels of investmentThese 37 levels pay for themselves easily, especially shit like increased carry weightThe nerf doesnt really matter now anyway, purple weapon fucking sucks next to the venator
>>546618798>>546618945The problem isn't the weapons, its the fact that BPs have terrible drop rates outside of lockers.>anyone who rushed it made off like a bandit, inventory full of purple guns and BPs>anyone who didn't gets the middle fingerAnd the only upside of the nerf being a theoretical decline in interest for lockers, except the best lockers are still in Dam Tower, so its still a blood bath.
>>546619264The extra loot in the security lockers besides the gun is what makes it worth it to me. Getting a constant supply of simple/light/med/heavy/complex gunparts, wolfpacks, heavy nades, showstoppers, det bombs, etc is where the real value is. Anytime I'm looting an area with one nearby I'll give it a check just to see what the retarded mouthbreather that rushed it left behind, and I'm always coming out with more util and parts than I can use
>>546618927lure nades and stamina shots
Is it true I should be playing on Night Mode to hear footsteps better?
I don't get it, do expedition rewards last until the next expedition or do they continue to stack?
>>546619820They won't stack because day 1 players would have a ridiculous advantage over anyone starting later on in the game's life
>>546619719Matter of opinion, it's basically a compressorIt help hearing step really far but it also amplify a lot of ambient soundAlso make it harder to accurately get a range estimation
>>546619435>These 37 levels pay for themselves easily, especially shit like increased carry weightSlight disagree. 4 talents (for a total of 16 points) in red are top tier skills, and contender for "best skills in the game" to get these skills you need to invest 26 skill points. meaning 10 skill points in red are just fillter. to get security breach you need to invest a further 10 points of pure filler. So with security breach, you invested 37 points into red. 17 for stuff you actually wanted, and 20 for filler you needed to get the stuff you actually wanted. That's not a good ratio. That means by the time you reach Security breach, the majority of your skill points spend have been filler points that you would not have spend, if you didn't have to. >>546619615Yeah personally don't think it's a bad skill at all even post nerf. Just that it probably isn't strong / exiting enough to justify it being a 37 skill points skill. This would have been a fine level 15 skill, which also would have meant that people who go heavy into yellow or greeen, can pick it up and make these lockers more contested.
I get anxiety when I think of playing this game. How do I stop this? Im no KOSratnigger but I have to deal with them and defend myself, and if I don't start the engagement it means im always at the disadvantage
>>546618798Its useless because streamers got all the blueprints and regular players got the middle finger before even reaching the skill tree points for it
>>546620321Bring 3 jolt mines each raid and you'll never have any problems
>>546620321Gotta get used to it, and hope it gets better. I dunno man. I had my worst anxiety in magic arena. saving to queue for a draft ONCE took one and a half, to two weeks of daily grind, and if you 0-2, you're just out. Imagine grinding a game daily for 2 weeks so you can queue up the mode you want to play, and risk just being buttblasted out. And because it takes roughly 2 weeks to farm an entry, it's also next to impossible for players who are not good at / new at the format to experiment and learn. Never has my anxiety be higher than when I fucking played god damn magic. Fuck that shit.
>>546607450you can see the moment he gives up trying to fight the game on climbing that little ledge and just accepts his fate at your nigger hands
It feels so fucking good upgrading a bench and clearing out like 10 slots of stash space at once.
They stealth enabled Nvidia Overlay, you can finally adjust settings like contrast and shadows
>>546607450>>>>>>>>>>>>>Heavy ShieldsPussy
>>546607450Hope you die in your sleep
>>546618591This, the skill tree desperately needs a rework.
>>546620941What is wrong with heavy shields? They're only good against Arc damage. The difference in pvp is negligible
What do you all tend to spend assorted seeds on?I usually go for magnets for the kits, maybe rope for zipline
>>546621309anything I can no longer buy from gadgets guy and whatever I can't presently craft in my own recipes like trigger nades or lures
>>546617529why not just save the wolfpacks for flying arc and use the new landmines for ground arc.>>546617803this
>>546621309Simple gun parts and springs, mainly.
Where the FUCK do I find motors bros
>>546621704Same place you find rusted gears, high loot abundance mechanical zones. I recommend the car tunnel on Blue Gate.
>>546621651>new landmineswhat are they
>>546621704go to blue gate and just rip open every single car in the underground
>>546619994So why even do it?
>>546621819Insanely powerful and will kill a Ratigger harder than fuck. They have a long delay though so I recommend also using a shock trap to keep them in place
>>546621819
>finally ante up the balls to do a key run>bettina bp
>>546621901If there is exclusive cosmetics I can see why
>>546620321It's the integral experience with the game. You know how arc behaves so if you fuck you know how to react and why you failed in a given situation. With raiders, you never know. A rat could be hidden next to you, not making a sound, waiting to strike. Or not, but you can never be sure, and precautions fail when you're running around looting and questing, making noise, showing yourself in the open once in while. >and if I don't start the engagement it means im always at the disadvantageIf you get shot by a player it's ride or die. Cover is near, you run for it and get ready to shoot. No cover ? You turn around and shoot. Talking can only get you out of some situations, and rats don't care for that.
>>546622003>did a key run yesterday >spawned too far the first time and it was already being looted >go back the second time and I forgot the key
>>546621309Tape and springs mostly for weapon modsAlso raw metal sometimes when I get low
>wanna do big arc so bad>nobody ever help or straight up comes to impede/kill meWhat's the point of playing... if I wanted straight pvp I would play any other online shooter...
>>546621832>>546621816ty bros
Do you get the new Aphelion blueprint from Harvester?
>>546622896I dont think anybody found it yet
>>546621651I guess personally I just always considered it wasteful to use heavy ordenance on something that takes just a bunch of anvil shot, and maybe a cheap fire nade to be brought down. But yeah, I mean sure you can wolfpack them as well. It's a free country. Personally, tho, since I don't have a wolfpack BP, I'm using them for more annoying arcs. Both mines and wolfpacks.
How do rats live with themselves and their decisions?
>ttk and weapon balance out of whack>new map exposes the retarded spawn system>game already stale since loot is worthless when a lvl 1 stitcher mogs an ultra rare pink gun>no end game>tarkov 1.0 droppedarcsissies....
>kill player with wolfpacks>see bombardier outside>hornet sees me>end up wasting 3 minutes and can no longer kill it because last exfil
>>546622896>>546622938Have all the new quests been completed? Are there new quest BP?
How many wolfpacks does it take to kill bombaor how many hullbreaker shots
>>546624534look up hp and damage
>>546623772The lack of prefrontal cortex means that the thought literally never occurs to them. If you could ask one to it's face, you would get this picrel look.
The Torrente is ridiculous on Stella. All rats will die
>>546623772Probably a bunch fo them fell victim to rats themselves one too many times and had their joker moment. Game literally tells you: "This could be the start of your villain arc" when you get knocked out. And I don't know if I can blame them. How many hullbreakers can I feed to people who bought a gun and a shield into the match? Why bother playing the game, looting shit etc, when you can get a stash full of the highest tier loot by crafting a level 4 ferro, taking a green shield and some stun mines/nades and just take theirs? I feel like a sucker grinding my ass off to farm bastions and whatnot, when I could have just waited for a good opportunity and taken someone elses shit.
>Farm blueprints anvil, nades, couple other guns>give them to friend>expedite>have friend give them back and drop his>now he can expeditecongrats, your dumb little wipe system has been outplayed. Fuck, if you're autistic enough, thanks to family sharing you could make a second steam account, and drop literally all your best gear on the elevator for your friend with a blank inventory, then take it all back. The only thing you lose is levels. Almost like doing a voluntairy wipe instead of a full wipe is a stupid Idea that can easily be circumvented in a game where you can give everything to someone else. >but anon it takes your full inventory worth. a couple items to give you a good start on the new account is not gonna make the difference.
>>546628165they should have made it so the expedition is a way of starting the next mandatory wipe with an edge
>>546627652The game rewards griefing. Problem is, griefing only works if there are people actually doing the content. But every day more and more people get griefed, think "why the fuck do I even bother killing arc/brining the keycards/kitting out?" and never bother engaging with those mechanics again. It's a literal slippery slope.The game is a viral sensation, but if they don't address this it WILL hurt the games long term viability.
>>546628316buff higher level gear and it will work again, if you can just shrug off full mags of low level stitcher.
Is it possible to sneak up to something like a Bastion and stick a deadline to it without the cloak?
>>546628426>buff higher level gear and it will work again, if you can just shrug off full mags of low level stitcher.this guy gets it. i get the devs dont want 1000 hour players mogging newbies with their kitted out characters, but theres no point to the looting game when the loot is junk.
>>546628505Could you not just throw a lure nade then run up, ive never fucked with big arcs i just ratscav others kills
>>546628309Agree. That way you couldn't just mule everything if you're a tryhard.>>546628316The problem for me is the unbalance. You need a high tier expensive (both in resources and time to get those resources) inventory to do the big arc PvE shit. I mean you can ping at an arc with 160 Ferro shots, but whomst wants to do that, and the risk of dying is higher the longer the fight goes. But for PvP, you can literally bring the cheapest shit in the world, and if you catch someone unaware, it's ogre. I wouldn't mind so much, knowing that if I had a 50k loadout, that the guy that killed me also had to bring a 50k loadout to have a chance to take me down. But in reality, a free kit with a ferro and good headshot aim can bring you down.There's no balance because you can't say: "ah the pvp rat is also gonna get killed in some of his matches, and eventually he won't be able to afford a pvp kit" the same way a pve player who keeps dying won't be able to afford good PvE loadouts any more. The PvPplayer will always be able to use either a free gun, or craft a level 4 ferro for next to nothing.
just got the game and completed the tutorialis there any kind of base gear that automatically restocks if I lose it?
>>546620910any recommended settings anon? ive been using rtx vibrance until now and thats it, i dont turn everything off like a nigger bc the game is beautiful
>>546628871Theres infinite free kits
Do you guys go out with purple augments? I feel like it isn't even worth it on Stella since its rat central
>>546628871you can always go into a raid with a full free kitrandom grey tier gun+ammolight shield1 bandage and 1 shield rechargeand 2 random utilitiesYou have no safe pocket while doing a freekit If you extract safely with your freekit, you can turn your shitty box backpack into a real augment backpack at the medical trader
>>546629104I unlocked the survivor mk3 one really early and its not expensive to craft, so yeah whenever I wanna do a kitted run I just make that one
Would you a raider?
>>546628871>>546629163To add to this: focus first on unlocking the crafting benches, and then upgrading them. Pretty soon (specially with an upgraded rooster) you will be able to craft ferro heavy rifles, and upgrade them a couple times. That's literally the best white tier gun in the game, and you will wreck every arc that doesn't have black armor with it, + the arc hornet which is armored but you can shoot in the back thrusters.
>>546629332I'd throat fuck her at extract to make her pay for the defib I wasted on her
>>546629479You don't need the defib to do that.
>>546629332>Down her>Fade to black>She wake back up in Speranza pregnant
>have the quest to kill rocket arc>always see one when i play>decide to finally do the quest>bring 3 wolfpacks>havent seen a single rocket arcwhat the fuck is going on? is the game trolling me? how much you wanna bet i dont see a single rockteer and i get ratted out and have all my wolfpacks taken and the next match i queue i run into a rocket arc.
>>546628976>>546629163how can I tell a kit is a free one? after completing the tutorial I saw a looting kit equipped in my inventory screen (it has green background). Also 160 bullets, a green shield, and 3 bandages/grenades/shield rechargesalso a rattler 1 as my gunis that supposed to be free?>>546629389cool, I'll do that, thanks man
>>546629634your kit after the tutorial is just what you left the tutorial withto use a freekit go to the deploy screen(hit play, choose a map)and at the screen where it shows your loadout, look at the top middle and you'll see an option to choose a freekit instead of a custom loadout
>>546629787super cool, thanks man
>>546629862I'm a >gamerdad so I'm hoping I'll be able to hit 75 before the expedition... but if i don't i think I'll just miss this one. I'll feel really fucking dumb if progress is lost even if i miss the window but i want the metallic speed racer costume
I can't understand the thought process of KOS someone by shooting them in the back while looting. There is no victory there. I'd be ashamed
>>546630020I don't what it is with people thinking they need to announce them being a parent in relation to games, everyone has something that can take their time away from games.
Why are these devs taking so long to balance the gameDont they understand unbalanced meta drains your game out of players faster than anything else
>>546630519because they only have data points from neets who play 9 hours a day
>>546630519I think they were too busy trying to release stella montis on timeWhich is a blunder, because the map with the current state of balance is a dogshit experience
>>546630576thats retarded you dont need a year of research to understand that the spawning is fucked and the venator is overpowered and the loot economy is fucked because of free kits and shitty purple weapons
>>546630932everyone from big meme streamers to comments on reddit and discord and even here cried about the state of the game and what the problems were and came up with many solutions that would have worked and these retards are like>no no no we need the data!
Rats completely ruined my trust for anyone in this game.
>>546630519its only been 2 weeks
>>546630519The game hasn't even been out long enough to warrant a balance patch
>>546631424How many more days of Venator spam do you think is fair?
>>546631424everybody has been playing a months' worth of time and doesn't realize the game launched only 2 weeks ago
>>546630964your anecdotal experiences are not enough to warrant balance changes
>>546631545Funny when people were trying to get the kettle nerfed earlier in the week. I wonder what will be the next mood in 2 days
I duo queue because I'm tired of everyone being friendly.........................
>first game>start looting stuff>decide to just extract>hide gun so people know I don't want to kill anyone>try to extract>a guy runs towards me and emotes "don't shoot">assrapes meI guess I missed out on the good times
>>546631975That actually happened in day 1...
So what the fuck is a wall leap?
>>546631712>Funny when people were trying to get the kettle nerfedIt does need a nerf to prevent being macro'd into full autoThe anvil and renegade also need firerate nerf to prevent becoming the next metaThe state of balance is pretty obvious if you're not retarded
Maybe it's the slight survival horror vibes Stella Montis gives or the shredder being super neat, but instead of SM getting bombed at 30 min it should unleash some kind of Mr. X hunter killer bot that can't be destroyed and knows exactly where you are. We need more tanky murderbots in general. Arc generally fall into the problem of being too easily avoided if dangerous, too easily killed if fast. Humans need to fear machines.
>>546631975never trust anyone nearby with their gun drawn
>>546632074Does anyone know what a stitch scanner does on SM?
>>546631712>Funny when people were trying to get the kettle nerfed earlier in the week. I wonder what will be the next mood in 2 daysall greys need a nerf desu or they can massively buff the other guns but that just becomes a retarded cat and mouse game of power leveling and looked how well that worked out for dota 2
>>546632137probably the same thing they do when you throw them indoors, nothing
>>546632198darn...
It's time to game........
>>546632192>or they can massively buff the other gunsIf you do that the TTK will collapse, everyone would hate it
>>546631687its not me its almost everyone with their own two eyes can see that the spawns are retarded, weapon balance is in a poor state and the new map shows all of this very very clearly.
all guns below epic quality should be less accurate and bullet velocity should be slower across the board
>>546631687If you were to ask people with 100h on what to balance you'd get a pretty unanimous opinion, on guns atleastYes, 2 weeks is enough and it should have been balanced yesterday
>>546632694ok now ask the people with less than 20h who have also owned the game for 2 weeks
>>546632192the balancing for all the weapons is kinda retarded and the devs know itthats why they removed the hairpin from the free loadouts like it was in the TT2they are too afraid to make the free loadouts too weak and thats why they never going to adjust the weapons in any meaningful way
>>546632382>If you do that the TTK will collapse, everyone would hate itYeah which is why I am in favor of nerfs, far easier to nerf the 3 guns than it is to buff every other gun to match those two and fuck over TTK in the process. Which would then need buffing to shields and health. So can nerf 3 guns or rework the entire game.
I do think heavy shields should unironically be extremely buffed. It feels worthless.
>>546632776>ok now ask the people with less than 20hwhy? they dont know shit
>>546632359>Anon_plans_to_die_a_lot.jpg
>>546632776>ok now ask the people with less than 20h who have also owned the game for 2 weekstheyd say the same thing because they watch guides and streamers and they will parrot their opinion which isvenator needs a nerfthe spawns are retarded
>>546605913i hoarded every new item so when i got that quest i already had all the items
>>546632848I've worn nothing but heavy shields for the past few days and they definitely are not worth all the effort I have to take to keep a constant supply of power rods, voltage converters, and arc circuitry
>>546632850because catering only to the 0,1% ruins multiplayer games time and time again, the devs know this, this isn't their first rodeo, that is why they are waiting for more data before deciding how to balance
>nerf this, nerf thatThe real answer is to just fucking remove pvp already. Doesn't make sense for the story anyway.
>>546633101Most of the time it blocks the same amount of stuff as a medium shield and doesn't change the TTK at all
>>546633104>because catering only to the 0,1%That's not what anybody asked for you brainlet, a balanced game is better for everybody, and a good way to get that is to get data from people who play the game a lot
>Wow someone spawned directly behind me and it was a free kitter with a stitcher. >That really should be looked at.>WAIT UHM EXCUSE ME BUT YOU CANNOT HAVE ANY SAY ON BALANCE WITHOUT MONTHS AND MONTHS OF DATA TO BACK THAT UP!!!>VENATOR? OP? UHHHHH DO YOU HAVE A SOURCE FOR THAT???? DATA? WHERE IS YOUR PEER-REVIEWED PAPER AND DISSERTATION?!?!?!
>>546620778He had a pretty hurt tone saying, "just let me go I've been here all raid," and watching him fail to go up the lip of the hatch over and over was really fucking sadHis loot was garbage
>>546633256you have no clue what you are talking about
I just did rat behavior in Dam Battlegrounds. I got up to the control tower with only 15 minutes left and heard a guy up there. Well there was a dead body at the bottom of the zipline and I assumed he killed him (probably the turrets in the shaft honestly), and I waited until he went to get on the ziplines to leave and rat killed him. He had nothing on him and he didn't even have a key so the door wasn't open to the control room. Should I feel bad? Because I do.
>guy dies planting a deadline mine on a bombardier behind space tower>run towards him to help>another guy already there announcing he has a defib>guy dies>moment of silence>get sniped by someone by container sentinel>sneak around>see him leaving the building>he sees him>down him with a kettle>light him up with my torrente
>>546633525No. It's a PvP game
>>546633345streamers with over 100k combined live viewers say the meta is in a poor state. their chatters are saying the meta is in a poor state. reddit is saying the meta is in a poor state. the discord is saying the meta is in a poor state. WE are saying the meta is in a poor state.but yeah they just need another two months of data to properly make some adjustments to the damage of like 3 guns.
>>546633525every time a rat kills, a new one is born, it's an infestation and you are spreading it
>>546632097Why under any circumstance would I not have my gun drawn near people? I can't trust anyone and I dont want to be caught with my pants down. Or what if Arcs show up? Nah. I will keep my heat in my hands. Doesn't mean I'll shoot you
>>546633345I do, and you dontThat's the problem, you cant comprehend that people have figured the game already so you think it need "more time" 2 days ago I was telling everybody that Stella Montis would be a shitshow of Venator spam, the map wasnt even released, I must be a fucking god with psychic powers holy fuck
only one more to goanyone want to trade me a rusted medical kit for a snaphook?
>>546633619No one is being friendly when they are using a key to unlock a door. That loot is by definition yours.
>>546633689your perspective is too narrow to understand how balancing games works, and let me tell you it definitely isn't done by listening to streamers and reddit posts
Compfags and Balanceniggers are the worst people to take balance advice from. All they do is speed run the game or play it in their heads 24/7 and yeah, you played for 300 hours already. No wonder why you're bored of X already.>>546633256>>546633296It makes shit boring and soullessPlay CS2 if you want a balanced pvp experience
>>546633665To show that they can trust you.
>>546633838My narrow perspective somehow perfectly predicted the meta of a map days in advanceBut okay anon, show us your perspective thenPlease argue against the giant majority of players stating that the Venator, Renegade and Anvil need to get nerfedWe're listening
>>546634053What will you do when people move to the Ferro, Bobcat, Kettle? Scream for more nerfs? That's all you see.
>60 hours played >17 blueprints out of 74What gives? Can they spawn in any container? Am I just unlucky?
>>546633665you have to play it smarter than that. holstering your gun will keep you alive more than it wont
>>546634053Somehow I suspect you'll want like the Kettle/Il Toro nerfed next. After all, people will just move to the next weapons.
>>546634053you just don't fucking get it, just because they haven't done a balance pass doesn't mean they think the game is balanced, you are a ADHD riddled child
Here were the shield values in the tech test:>Light shield: 23% reduction (111 effective hp)>Medium: 45% (136 hp)>Heavy: 65% (178 hp)Full game: >Light: 40% (116 hp)>Medium: 42.5% (130 hp)>Heavy: 52.5% (142 hp)They clearly wanted to equalize them and remove gear difference so a heavy shield user didn't automatically win against light but they overcorrected and even without taking the movement penalty into account heavy serves little purpose.
should I sell stuff to upgrade my inventory slots, or just recycle everything to craft my workstations? I just started so I still haven't crafted anything
>>546634134>What will you do when people move to the Ferro, Bobcat, Kettle? Scream for more nerfs? That's all you see.Not him but yes, and>bobcatYoure forgetting the stitcher btw. Which completely mogs the bobcat. Yes grey guns should not mog the rare guns.
can they do something around big arcs, I want to kill them but it's impossible with every rat coming in an just nigging you. Give people some immunity while fighting Queen/Matriarch or something....I have no clue how to balance this shit
Is the Stitcher any good?
>balancefags be likeOkay people are now using these weapons now! NERF IT NOW
>make 90 of skills are trash>reward for expedition is extra skill point.Masterful gambit, sir. If you empty your entire inventory into this shit, and give up all your blueprints to get 5 skill points, and some inventory slots you are actually retarded.
>>546634278like 90% of items tagged as "recyclable" have no purpose other than being recycled or sold, but some are used for quests so you should look up what you need to keep for quests
the new map has been so fucking sweaty
>go into a game with a stitcher4 and an inventory full of free loadout kits>pretend like im looting high value areas>put up a real fight against anyone who tries to kill me, make them really work for it and use up resources>when i inevitably die they will spend 2 minutes mad as hell watching every item in my inventory turn into free loadout kits
This game has single handedly ruined my faith in humanity..
>>546634498kek
>>546634498CHEATER
>>546634498I have both looting perks, I will spend 15 seconds looking at your corpse, lmao.
>>546632359>doesn't have blue grip and magLmao
>>546634450Without question but at least it has great loot and such a different vibe from the other maps. It's like a maze, and you know which animals love mazes
>>546634375>A pvp game with inventory drop on death shouldnt try and balance its gameWhat argument are you even trying to make? Yes OP guns need tuning and nerfs. Are you suggesting the current balance is fine right now and should never be adjusted? What kinda retard are you?
>>546634498I can't understand why items are instantly shown, or at least why is it that slownigga are you charging your eyes or what
>>546634741It's not a comp game nigger go build a house or join a war faggot
I've started dipping into the green tree just a bit for the better movement speed with shields and quieter/faster breaching. Those ones are worth it right?
I have so many purple weapon materials, but not a single purple weapon to craft besides the bettina. I know I can get hullcracker from a quest, but goddamn these blueprints suck.
>>546634884>quieter breachingit doesn't work
i am fine with the grey shit being competitive; not without tweaks, but mostly the same. however the higher tier stuff is far too expensive to upgrade relative to their strength. so something's gotta give
>>546634808You're rooting through their pockets and bag. It's an intended mechanic and exactly why you get xp for searching. The act of looting something is when you are the most vulnerable
>spawn into stella>dieidk how id feel about this if i didnt go with freebies all the time
>>546634884As long as you avoid taking any stamina talents you're doing good
>>546635030yes I know and gameplay-wise it makes sensebut I just imagine someone opening a bag and being unable to see several items at once
>>546634884faster breaching is worth, it cuts breaching doors down by 3s.quieter, I don't know
>>546635049I've had a 50/50 experience on that map. Which is the same as every other map. The only difference is you can bushmax and hide in Stella. You WILL encounter other people. It is a guarantee. It will he the definitive pvp map now. Maybe i can have more chill experiences on Buried City now
I have an Anvil blueprint I don't need
>>546634221they need to bring these values back today.
The rats need to learn that one day, all they will be left with is, rats. It will be rat on rat lobby and everyone loses. The ARC wins.
>casually walking>guy thinks it was a good idea to shoot me>turn around and ruin him>"fuck you asshole"i'm starting to think these are the people who complain about pvp
>>546628316>this game rewards griefing>killing a nigga in a pvp game is griefing themyou people are delusional
>>546607874this is the only game in recent memory I don't actually mind all the characters being fugly and/or minorities in, since it's lore-accurateall of the rich, powerful, intelligent, and capable people (whites and attractives) fucked off to mars and left all of humanity's "trash" behind to die
>have extracted twice while downed thanks to survivorIt's a terrible experience, but goddamn does it feel good.
>>546628316The game will lose 80% of its playerbase in a month regardless because that's how games work.
>>546634184Just because deleting a meta will lead to another doesnt mean no changes should be madeVenator should have been nerfed yesterday and anyone with a brain knows it
just told the guy i downed to crawl into cover (so i could loot) and he did... i think he thought i was going to revive him. he won by making me feel slimy
Are you supposed to kill every person you see? Since I have the option not to kill them I kind of feel like a murderer.
>>546636391It's up to youI tend to kill the people who get too close or aim at me, and leave the rest be
>>546634884take the right side of the green tree up to "weapons burden you less" then stop, nothing else in the tree is worth a fucking thing
where are the metro entrances jesus christ wtf is this map
>>546636391most don't kill on sight (in solo); the idea is to greet w/ emotes or mic. if they greet back and holster their gun, you really don't want to to blast them.but lobbies are fickle, you'll learn the balance. some people are just niggers, you have to be able to spot them. actual betrayals are very rare (but you'll know what they sound like-- ie. poor)
>>546636391LARP how you please. Be a bandit or a bandit killer. I do think raiders who kill a lot of other raiders should have a little red glow but that's for funsies.
Next thread?>>546585121
>>546636493I was looting a key room and some guy said don't shoot outside the door and then came in and I shot him.He shouldn't have come in why would you walk up on someone looting a key room?
>>546636653>>546636649I don't want to kill everyone but I feel like they will shoot me the moment they have the advantage to kill me.
>>546636918It IS a pvp game, that's why you do bluff or watch your positioning.
>>546636729Last time something like this happened I let the guy get close, he looked at the empty containers then magdumped me

So has anyone found a tempest/vulcano/bobcat blueprint? Is the reason we get so many Bettina blueprints because every time it rolls purple the 3 other purple guns aren't available so it defaults to Bettina? Also has anyone found the BP for the new gun that came with the update?
>>546634221lol this sucks so bad Also, does using heavy make you even slower than using medium? If so, really not worth the 12 hp boost in majority of scenarios
>>546633598what an absolutely disgusting postgo back you dumb nigger
>>546634323probably the best grey at close range and one of the best secondary weapons in the game to carry around for close range duels/when you run out of ammo with your primary
Theres only been twice when a person that saw me first didn't kill me and both times were at the extraction zone when they probably just wanted to get the fuck out. But I have enough loot that I can afford to die a few times so I will try not killing people immediately a little bit and see how that goes.
Why is my account specifically so blueprint cursed? I see people on discord talking about looting blueprints non stop, counting how many they got each day. meanwhile I run night raids whenever there is one and what do I get? Fuck and all.
>Check my achievements>The very first one I got is a Vendetta is Born>Its for getting knocked out inside the extraction point>Only 40% of players have itWow so I had the piece of shit experience from game one. No wonder I can't trust anyone.
>Make hatch keys to more safely escape with all your most valuable loot>the mode with all the most valuable loot doesn't have raider hatchesMasterful gambit, sir. So what? Do I just take them to the damn dam in case I really want to make sure I get the toaster, wine bottle and 20 arc metals home safe?
>>546639543yeahsafe extracts but worse lootor good loot but risky extracts
>>546639296security breach CHEATERS, probably
FUCK THESE THINGS HOLY SHIT THE SPRAY RADIUS IS INSANE
>hear no gunshots>raider flare goes upvery subtle
>>546601708For fun? What sort of question is that?
are pulse mines effective enough for protecting a zipline? like if im camping some rooftop
>>546639296the drop rate on them got nerfed this patch too
>>546640427Rattler free kit took the easy way out.
>>546605913Flow Controller is blue. You can find both pretty consistently in Assembly.
>someone gives you something rare and runs awayIt's a prey animal response. Like when a lizard loses it's tail to distract a predator. They're offering something and hoping they escape with their life.
>>546640907we dont have these responses, but we are abstract thinkers
>mute free kit with a stitcher "don't shoot!"s me then shoots me the moment I turn away>consolefagThinking it's about time to turn crossplay off.
>>546641081>Humans don't exhibit prey/predator responsesFalseLove in the world and you'll see all the prey and predators walking around. The looks, the gut feeling, the walks, the eyes. It's in all of us. Victims often emit victim energy and posture/body responses that attract predators to harm them. We are animals.
>>546639296I feel like the best way is to just rush red lockers. Go to any room with red lockers as fast as humanly possible and only red lockers. Residential buildings second. I never fucking get BP in weapon crates, ammo crates, medic bags, security lockers, etc it feels.
>>546641254you are applying pop psychology to millions of years of evolution. whether or not you were hugged as a child does not overwrite that
>>546613951laugh at this man
>>546613951>cautiousthat's the free T3 augment BP everyone has doofusand it SUCKS
>>546614065>>546641561>>546613951im actually using this because my current loadout is heavy as fuck. im basically just waiting to die but all these fucking GIZMOS are destroying my enemies
>>546619612Security Breaches were never good for BPs. I swear this is only parroted by people who never actually got it. They were great for getting purple guns, gun parts (especially complex gun parts), and various consumables. It was a good change, because it was retarded how people would load in with a minimal/free kit, do their optimal route that rushed 2-3 security breaches on the map, and then extract. Although I'm kinda surprised that security breach spawns weren't/aren't randomized in the first place, like basically everything else in the game.
>>546618927Don't get caught out in the open, also pack utility like smokes and lures.
>>546641081We absolutely do. Humans work on instinct. You aren't your brain and your brain controls you. When I stumble off a ledge and take 1 point of damage in front of another solo, his lizard brain activates and he shoots at me 2/3 times because he sees a predatory advantage and can't resist. Like a dog's chase instincts kicking in when another animal runs away despite being chill a second ago. This is all over criminal psychology, where the number 1 rule for any victim in a hostile scenario is not to dehumanize yourself because it makes it easier for the perpetrator to inflict harm on you. The enlightenment belief we're better than animals isn't practical. We're animals in suits fighting millions of years of evolution because we have the consciousness to be better.
Explain the appeal of the Kettle. Im a stitcherfag
>>546629104Yeah. They're cheap to make and, despite what all the anons shitting themselves here may claim, rats aren't a big issue. Competent rats even less so. The real issue is that I usually feel like most of my Mk 3 augments aren't better than the tactical Mk 2, aside from looting capacity. The one with the built-in surge charger is neat for saving money and when I'm fighting Queens/Matriarchs, but outside of that it's just a novelty. If the one that buffs handgun draw speed let you put on a medium shield, I'd use it all the time.
>>546640427best way to quest is to run free kits and use the surrender button when you complete it and don't need to extract
>>546641492You are ignoring humans being prey/predators for millions of years and having innate instinct reactions to spiders, snakes, and tigers. Those are biological responses. Flight or flee is literally one. There's no thinking in that response. We're not completely removed from the animal kingdom no matter how lofty we want to be.
>>546643293It only needs half the magazine to kill someone. If you miss any shots with a stitcher you are fucked. You can miss a few with the kettle.Also you can use it from further away
>>546585776>TIL that this is the shit rats get hype overLMFAO, thank you for posting this. I'll never feel bad again when a rat takes my kit full of blues/purples. You shits literally can't (and don't) play the game. You're more like NPCs that guard the exits and wait for other people to play the game. Do you get this excited when you dig the cum out of your wife when the bulls are done playing with her?
>>546644589Why are you fantasizing about men having sex with my wife? Are you in the chair?
Are the servers shitting themselves or is it a special gift for me ?
jesus fucking christ I hate rat fuckers so much
>>546643293First of all: kettleGODS run /arg/! Best remember that. Furthermore: it’s actually pretty good at longer rangers, unlike the Stitcher
I like listening to people seethe BRO IM FRIENDLY when I shoot them in the back as they get tunnel vision focusing on the queen/matriarch
Why kettle when 2 anvil shots sends your flare sky high?
>>546641105I play on console and turn off cross play to avoid cheaters. What's the cheater:nigger ratio like on PC? I might be able to put up with cheaters if it means less niggers in general.
>>546644948This game is for the rat kings, no other game has so much advantage to keep sitting than ARC.
>>546645209I bet you played the slap game
>>546643293you can kill more than one player with a single mag
if you have any cover to work around the stitcher reloads in like 1 second and has a better chance of killing 2 people
kettle doesnt need no "ifs"
>>546645994If you are in range for the stitcher to be effective, they are in range to rush you before your reload finishes
>>546645469>crossplay off on consolehow’s the queues? 10 min?
>>546646585i'm talking from experience, it's really that fast. if they have to take more than a few steps it's too late
>>546585121>>546585121>>546585121NEW OLD RAID
>>546647032Rarely more than 90 seconds. The warning is a meme for PlayStation chads.
>>546645469I don't feel like I've been cheated yet and I play crossplay off on PC
>see downed guy pretty near seed vault extract on new map>feeling nice so i bandage and run to set extract off>3rd party steps in and shoots downed bro>dome him and take all his shitDowned bro had some tasty stuff on him tho, guy who killed him was fresh spawn freekit trash
