remember to pick the angled breach point and not hte straight one so you can look behind you
>encounter duo on stellar montis>they are holding a doorway letting us know guys on the other side shot them and arent friendly>minutes pass, hear tons of shots>find 3 duos all crawling around shit talking each other>recognize the guys from earlier and defib them>exchange pleasantries and leave>15 minutes pass, 1 extraction left>go down to train and get killed from shadows by the same 2 guys we saved>"oh sorry mate haha"bruh
>fancy 80k loadout>12 minutes lateyea, thanks. and if i fumble a loadout like this twice i'm probably already bottlenecked on some resource. springs or something. what the FUCK am i doing
How high should I upgrade the il toro if I'm going to Stella Montis?
>>548159228you'll be right, you can get em from celeste. besides, you can craft them, so its not like the loss is irreplaceable.
>>548159409you don't, you run free kit. stella is a free kit hell hole.
>>548159409level it up once per extract
>>548159541Yeah, but I just want to murder peope poorer than me and then die after like the 5th or 6th one
>>548159576true and zased, get em soldier.
>>548159576get a torrente for that
>>548159563I'll be doing this, thanks
I'm brand newDo I just recycle everything with the "recyclable" tag and if so, is there a way to filter for that?Yes I know now I should've kept a dog collar, I did recycle it sadly
>>548159972check this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1V0kuRHDu1T-iAxtoV2RYSi1SI5xBscIC/viewgenerally yes but some recyclables are required for quests/workshop upgrades/expeditions
>kill 3 rocketeers>no bp again(again)
>>548159972If it doesn't have craftable items next to it in a light font or its very low durability it's most likely worth recycling or selling, either or.
>>548159972There's quest item trackers that tell you what to keep. There's also some stuff that's very valuable for crafting.
This run was something elsehttps://www.twitch.tv/videos/2629564797?t=7h17m22s

>>548160343>>548160203alright thanks>>548160243I figured it was something like that but I saw a correlation between items that didn't have a crafting text and the "recyclable" tag, so I was wondering if there was a way to filter on that tag
>average pigtails raider
>>548160479>level 3Running out of supplies there champ?
>>548159972Go to >>548160203 and keep the stuff for quest.Everything else can be safely recycled. Realistically speaking for the first 40 hours the only resources you'll need is arc battery to make shield recharger, and magnets to make loot augment mk2. You gonna be stuck with Ferro + Stitcher for a long while, but white gun only cost basic metals and green components to make and upgrade (green components can be crafted) so those aren't an issue at all. Arc Raider is extremely generous when it comes to common level gears so feel free to explore and die a bit to learn the game.Once you get a hang of the basics and want to learn how to make progress, go watch a youtube video about gun tier list. Obtaining the blueprints for some S and A tier guns will be your major power boost, preferably Anvil because it's a green gun that's really good against both pvp and pve, and it being a green gun means it's dirt cheap to make and upgrade. You'll then want to look for wolfpack blueprints (a type of grenade that deals insane damage to arc) so that you can solo the bigger arc for resources to upgrade your workbench.Good luck.

>>548159743just destroyed a torrentefag close range with a sticher level 1do not bring a single blue item to SM. its a massive waste of everyone's time
>>548161391>No reason to upgrade benches past level 2 someone doesn't have any good blueprints
>>548161503tbf that was a pretty good watch
>>548161614what good blueprints? wolfpacks? purple gear is just a pointless time and money sink. the optimal play is to wait for another to kill the big arcs then gank him.
why do the dummies in the practice range have like 200hp? i know of the spreadsheets, but can i not actually test ttk?
>>548161862it might be the optimal play for a bottom feeder
>>548161867the dummies take 10 headshots from a venator before they sink... what the fuck is this?
You know, now come to think of it, it's kinda cringe that you need to have 3 rocketeer driver to level your explosive station to lv3, just so you can craft wolfpacks to take down rocketeers.
just played a game of bf6 after playing AR for the last month and wew lad the difference in battle pass jewry is astonishingyou get 1/10 of a bp level for winning a game in bf6 whereas they are practically throwing rewards at you in AR with 2 different battle passesand AR is half the price of bf6really makes you think
>>548162369>have to kill them the hard way before you unlock the easy way?
>>548162587I want to see you try soloing a 1100HP rocketeer with just a Ferro.
>I'm having a blastThe 5 words of a shill.
I think I will extraction camp for the first time todayAny tips for making it comfy? Maybe I'll grab a cup of tea while I wait or something
>>548162369If you kill retards in matriarch events you wont need to worry about acquiring wolfpacks
>>548162691
>>548160445Holy fuck that was great. I'm tempted to do this in solos with the healing augment so I can have all 4(5?) slots for grenades
>>548162832testing annex roofpulse mine at the top of the ladder for anyone sneaking up on youthrow trigger nades on the elevator switchor just go there with a ferro free kit and snipe anyone running to extract
>>548163582A barricade at the top of the ladder tends to make people fuck off as well
It has gotten to a point where I just go in with these dogshit purples only to shoot at people until I die just to get rid of themBut do you know what happens when you try to use the Bettina? YOU DIE TO WASPS BECAUSE IT'S SO FREAKING SHITI didn't even get to shoot any players because I couldn't kill these stubborn wasps that can't miss and never give up on chasing you
>>548163907>can't missstafe left/right>give up on chasinghard cover and then run in a different direction
bro has purples and died to a wasp
bro has eyes and died to a wasp
>>548164248hornets you can dodge, wasps you can not
>>548163907You have to take a ridiculous amount of ammo with bettina to make it work in pve. You really have to ignore that part of your brain and just fullauto everything.
>>548164570You can dodge wasps
NO MIC, NO LIFE. I kill all micless retards if they don't answer back on voice chat. Micless rerards are actual subhumans and will backstab you or try to like the sociopaths they are.>b-but i am a micless retard and i will kill youWill never happen lil gup.

>>548164969post a webm of you dodging a wasp shooting at you right now
How the fuck do I deliver the ESR to lance before extracting?
>>548165178>dont use your words>die like a bitchA sad tale, invest in a mic next time Rakesh
>>548165419Isnt that an item you need to extract with to complete the quest?My buddy bricked +1 stash slot with that quest cos it didnt go away after the quest and he cant delete it kek
>>548165419You extract with the item and complete the quest.
>>548165575You just bring it into a raid with you and drop it, what?
>>548165575>>548165630Weird I completed the objective but I guess I didnt loot the item somehow.Found a snap hook tho
>>548165178use your mic at every opportunity broi watched my friend play on console and he will walk up to people and then fuck around with the emote wheel to find dont shoot, meanwhile the guy has his gun out and is pointing it at himuse your mic and the second you see someone or even hear someone say "yo whats up buddy" and you wont get kos'd 9/10 times

i fucking hate streamers giving literally everyone online the impression that this is a mass scale PvP game, what the fuck are the devs thinking
>come in with garbage>gank ven 4>repeat
>>548166948technically it is, one of the gameplay "mechanics" is killing someone and taking al their stuff, and its supposedly completely fairbut thats why I avoid trios
>>548166948The way the game is tuned, it is a mass scale pvp game. Only in CoD do you find every weapon trying to be balanced against each other.
I'm thinking of killing someone on sight. I've never done it before. I just want to know how it feels on the other side, you know?
>>548167247I've done it a few times, it feels bad unless you're a sociopath. Gear means shit to me because I can craft everything that's meta. So you just ruin someone's run and it's not even rewarding.
>>548167136>>548167174so much for the whole "PVEPVP" cope spam, now we're conceding that it's a fucking battle royale at this point?
I'm going to fucking lose my mind, all I need to do is kill arcs for arc cells and some freekit fag has to come kill meFuck you Shinju
>>548167720>disingenuous shitposteror >ESL
>>548167247>>548167419>I just want to know how it feels on the other side, you know?You won't know how it feels because you have a far more emotional and unstable reaction to getting killed in a video game and project that onto other players than a lot of the people KoSing.
>>548167727Wait for Matriarch then loot them when the people with legendaries take them out. Although this is very much RNG if your lobby got people trying to kill her. I got 3 bombardier cores like that.
>>548167720embark are retarded at game balance, so yes it's a battle royale now
>>548167727>fag downs me>comes to finish the job>I'm already crawling to the bombadier that is now shooting at himget fucked
>>548167957pretty much
It's so fucking stupid that in a game where you can DIE BEFORE FINISHING A MANTLE EVEN WITH 5/5 MANTLING SPEED FROM FULL HEALTH WITH MEDIUM SHIELD you can't insure your weapon or have an augment that treats one of your weapon slots like a safe pocket. The TTK is so god fucking awful why would I ever waste resources on bringing good shit? Fuck
>>548167956I'm just talking about the basic green cells, I'm just out of green shield rechargers, not even attacking other peopleSociopaths are so fucking annoying
>>548168101You can just buy them from the clinic unless money is an issue for you. Once you max out stash money loses all meaning so I'm constantly around 700-800k and I don't even loot trinkets unless they're epic.
>>548168195I just want to play the fucking game, but thank you
>>548168078Did a night raid earlier and met a friendly player who shot me when we extracted while the doors were closing. He wasn't trying to kill me and I assume was just doing a feat but it was seriously less than one second before my full health and shield were depleted and I was on the ground
>>548161391>Casual players solely playing on the weekends can effortlessly reach the endgame project a month ahead of timeThis is completely fine
>Bug where left click just doesn't register seemingly at random right after a roll still isn't fixedCome the fuck on, swedes.
Saving my extra Wolfpack BP for when they inevitably add a Flea Market and I can sell it for 1 mil or something.
>>548168292i did the same to a heavy shield guy inside a train too, he never holstered the weapon and i one clipped with with a level 1 stitcher with lvl 1 light mag and he started panicking but i let him live and extracted with him downedlike ...i could tell it was a heavy shield bc it took my whole clip but fuck me if that isnt retarded, A LEVEL 1 STITCHER
>>548168681They won't add one unless they add forced wipes otherwise whoever doesn't wipe will set the prices as they hoard bps
>>548168710its a misconception that the shield is a healthbarit's literally just shielding your health for the 40-50% damagea heavy shield is only 10% better than a medium shield
>>548168778You can't set the prices because BP drop rate is 100% RNG and you could get any of them as a level 1.
The more I think of this game, the more I feel like it's just Diablo IV of extraction shooters>in development hell for years>eventually had to ship what they had despite it being unfinished>the original design was very different, resulting in a total mess>the end product is a game by people who don't understand the genre, by people who don't like the genreThe question is, will the story repeat to the end?>genre vets try to draw attention to the game's problems until they're blue in the face but eventually chased away by teenagers, gamer dads and other vermin>months later casuals realize the vets were right>clueless devs can't right the ship, the game falls into obscurity
>>548168681check ebay, when the game came out Wolfpack blkueprints were going for $200
>>548169000Looks like they start at $3 now.
I think once i'm done with this expedition i'm going to take a break. I really want to like this game more but with the state of the endgame economy and the ttk issue I don't want to keep playing until a balance pass has been done
>deploy fully loaded for a queen kill as soon as event starts>2 flares go up in my near vicinity at no less than 28 minutes>rush to the hatch bc fuck that noisewhat the fuck is wrong with the playerbase now, its crossplay off even
>>548169578There's nothing "wrong" with the playerbase. There is nothing to do in the game besides fucking around with ferro/sticher free kits. Beyond that, the risk/reward dynamics are basically nonexistent in this game. It's a major problem that is going to drag the entire game down.
>>548169578>spawn in>get rattler i>quit game
>>548169578The game is getting progressively more bloodthirsty as time goes on because gear is meaningless so it's just free kit niggers running around like it's cod
>>548169578it happened AGAINalso loaded into a 29min match, lots of flares going up near the bridges and central areasleft againi cant play solo anymore, wtf
>>548170149End of workweek bloodbath is also about to begin>kos
>>548168060The PvE gear progression is pretty well done.It's PvP gear that is completely fucked.
killed three people and this is what it got meit's just the same junk I can already make on my own with easethis game has such a gear problem it's crazy
>>548170423>PvE gear progression is pretty well donelol
>>548170638maybe stop killing randoms for no reason fucking nigger
>>548169578Crossplay off is no longer a guarantee you'll end up with non griefers. I have ski mask sandniggers on EU with crossplay off.
>>548170638Alternatively you could camp extract at night and get like 3 ven 4's and anvil 4's off of one guy
>head to blue gate naked>rip into a guy with the arpeggio i picked up and get his osprey>loot 2 blueprints>gtfoThat was fun
>>548170806I killed a guy who had just killed another first, I heard the dead guy complaining on micthen what followed was the classic third parties rolling upalso>for no reasonthe only reason to play the game right now is to kill other people, take it up with Embark>>548170870yeah but it seems so boring to just sit around and wait for someone
at this point i refuse to believe that friendlyniggers (in this thread) aren't real>oooh the humanity i would never fire my weapon at a player or KOS ooooooohPvP(vE) game btw
>spawn in>immediately attackedok I don't know what I did to the devs to curse my account like this>miss completely easy shots because sometimes the bullets just miss>get shot through the wall by a Bastian when I'm trying to do Hidden Bunker and help someone else>solo a Bastian and loot everything>see someone running from arcs>"today I will be a nice person and help them out">they continue running>downed from the 3 flying arcs chasing him because I used all my heals fighting the Bastian and I was relying on the other guy to help>ALWAYS a rocketeer near me>never find ANY good blueprints>just queue to try and farm some arc cells with my trusty Ferro IV>killed basically 3 times in a row by some freekit running from his spawn right to me
The Bettina goes kinda hard, if it had 2-3 more bullets it would be a goated gun.

>>548171302if someone plays pvp seriously, I can't imagine this game is any fun at all>>548171103I am one of those people that have never shot another raider, even after they shoot me and I survice, I just maintain>"Hey, don't shoot, I'm friendly, I'm not hostile, I was hunting arcs"Sometimes tempted to yell the N word in case I happen to be coming through their speakers, but that's the most evil thing I would do, and I'd probably feel bad and apologize after

>>548171586i will gladly make friends with some people but i always make exceptions for those that are overly friendlydo you not have any self preservation? wouldn't it be nice to actually win a fight and get some loot out of it, maybe actually fight for your inventory just once?

>>548171639I'm both of these at once
>>548171971I feel more anger when someone does either of those then when I get killed by a venator nigger or extract camper
>>548171103I'm still not sure it isn't some elaborate troll campaign.
Why the fuck would i run anything but free or budget kits when you not only need to deal with teamers in solos but teams that have been shoved into your game?
Are the tier III attachments worth using? I just found a padded stock BP and was wondering if I should trade it for something else
>>548171837That's what I like about this game, everytime I meet a person we are in mutual agreement not to kill each other and extractSure you can be an evil piece of shit and ruin his experience, but>there is no loot ever worth doing that>if you talk with someone and betray them your brain has to justify it with some undoubtably gay reason (it was pvpve! despite everyone being friendly!)andit's just a nice change of pace that people are nice, you can literally play any other extraction shooter if you want to pvp, but for some reason PvPers want to play this one with PvE enemies and people literally going "hey I'm just doing my quest" and not even hurting anyone
>>548172198Solos are only fighting other solos, retard
>>548172252Completely untrue. Solo queue gets teams filled into it indiscriminately in low server pop scenarios.
>>548172360I have never once in my near 200 in raid hours seen a single duo/trio in solos

absolute goated comment i found on youtube (which is full of gear fear videos now, game collapse is coming) so i had to share it here, i like the event specific restrictions idea the most
kill yourself
>reposting your youtube comment to 4chan and samefagging it
>>548172564it's that easywhat video?
>>548172730https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbLl4tA-omsits really fkn good, bro actually plays the game and has the right mindset
>>548172564agreei have only ever used a purple shield once and never again
I hope I can do hidden bunker this time, does anyone have a guide to follow or anything?
>>548173069it's baffling that gear fear is a real thing in this game honestlymaybe it's because i've been playing tarkov for so long but this game is incredibly generous and losing a kit is not a big deal at all, not to mention that the gear quality pretty much does not matter at all.
>>548173458just stand around the bunker entrance with the 10 other people doing the same and wait for others to open itthen run around downloading from terminalsjust follow everyone else
>>548173568>>548173069For me it's not gear fear and that it's a pain in the ass to craft a loadout when I can just instantly go next
>>548173458Just stay near the console, the download will interrupt if you leave it.
>>548159409there are people who are glitching into the map and shooting through walls one-way, don't bring any kit to stella.
>>548172484No. This is actually how it works for all matchmaking group sizes. You are always going to have the server choose a solo to enter a solo match over a duo or trio.When it looks for backfill all the way to 17min if it can't find solos or a group has been waiting really long, it will just shove them into a game.
>>548173568Because for a lot of people who haven't played looter shooters, this is their first one, they haven't made the gameplay loop in their head like>oh I can just craft a kit and shield and my favorite gun>I guess its not so bad if I lose itunless you're out of mats, then you kind of get used to freekitting
>>548173749Interesting.I've often downed people in duos who just instantly surrender and leave. I always assume their duo is already dead. Or we're searching for their duo partner that never appears. Never considered they put solos into duo later in the game
spaceport equalizer runs or nothingthe only fun left in the game
>>548160915>tfw rats are too poor to fully upgrade stitchersThe freekit experiment was a failure. Once again the tragedy of the commons proves correct. Embark should remove freekits entirely. Then niggers would soft lock themselves out of the game the game they are spoiling. What would they do when they fully run out of supplies? Actually play the game?
>>548159409>>548173718that faggot peanut streamer had someone show him the glitchhe did hide his screen and mute his mic, as if that would stop people who care to exploit and not treat it like a challenge to figure out what he did
>>548174143idc to know anything about that person
I'm convinced the maps in this game are AI generated with how easy it can be to get legitimately stuck or how sometimes you just randomly can't mantle something that looks like it should be easily done and an intended route.
>roll into window in control tower>use unstuck>get placed in invisible room with 360 view of the entire map>you can shoot through walls but they cant see you>can aggro arc but they cant hit you
guns should be able to be placed in safe pocketblueprints cant be safe pocketed
>>548172564All that needs to fucking happen is that free loadout weapons (the stictcher and kettle really) need to have their T1 stats nerfed and instead gain fire rate (stitcher) and damage (kettle) when you upgrade them. T4s will have the same TTK as they currently do but T1-3 will get nerfed.
>>548174545>downed with my survival kit>its fine I'll just head to extra->wait, why the fuck am I stuck on this rock>move but cant move out of the rock>HELLO >no unstuck prompt because I can technically move>COME ON>struggle for the last minute <50m away from the extract>die to the timer>lose 1 of my 2 survival kits
>>548174575>blueprints cant be safe pocketedthis would go hard

Repair costs should be reducedSilencer 3 on a renegade 4 is has devastating durability lossYou can go from 120>0 in a match easily and it requires 3x Advanced Mechanical Components + 3x Medium Gun Parts to repair it halfwayNo wonder people are just freekitting for a ferro i
>>548174849Based, post some results when you get time
This game only had 100 hours of fun in it for me, but it's not bad for the 20 bucks I paid.
Game kinda lost its feel for me now.. i played 5 matches on spaceport today 5 matches in a row of spawning in at 18 mins late in the game running into pve fucks while trying to extract and then dying because they are teaming. Im done when the game punishes me 5 times in a row for bringing my own loadout in. Not to mention the game starting to get stale anyway
ITS OUThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST_fD5NL_pg

>>548172243>"you can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation" -Platoniggers are niggers in everything they do, anon. I know that's hard to admit, because admitting they are what is wrong with the game means admitting they are also what's wrong outside of the game, and the implications of that are more than you want to contend with right now. Don't be afraid to call them what they are. Besides, if you got banned, you wouldn't feel bad about it for another 6 months, or however long it takes for them to fix this game into something you would miss.
worst map to do this right? its always felt like nigger central to me
>>548172243>>548175478Why don't you play a co-op game?
>>548175439get hype for this week's "the devs are retards" documentary
>>548173069i have gear disappointment. i recycle blues and purples or i just bring them out without a fear in the world because i know those weapons fucking suck and go back to my greys with a proper kit of nades and accessories.
>>548175269I paid $35 and I'm about 65 hours in closing in on about 70 hours and I think I'll stop playing around then. I'll probably just get all the stuff for the expeditions last step at most.The devs are crazy if they think this game has a lifespan long enough for a "10 year plan"
>>548175540The worst map to do anything on is Dam. If you need to do the harvester event, I recommend trying to solo it with a loot 2 augment to pocket both BP. You might try ratting it yourself until the last 10 minutes of the match to try and weed out some niggers.
>>548175989nah im already running equalizer and have done harvester countless times, i just wanna bring the actual ARC down with the server, its been pretty chill in Dam and Spaceport but for some reason Blue Gate has always had niggers on the hills shooting at everyone else and not ARCwhat else am i supposed to do? its the only "engaging" PvE I can find
>>548175880They can't even handle the first 10 weeks.
>>548176110Honestly? Idk what to do, I'm in the same boat. I have completed all of the game's content, and there is nothing to do in the post game besides provide welfare for niggers (no wonder reddit loves this!) Just to what I do: complete challenges for double promotions, then go back to space marine and Helldivers. New warbond is about to drop if you wanna farm up some super credits. Even HD2 has a better loot/shoot loop, and it's not even a looter shooter.
>>548174960yea I found myself extremely limited by gun parts>>548175619we are playing one :)
>>548173069Appreciate that people like him can feel something is wrong with the game and can even recognize what it is, freeshitters, but his solution is retarded. I actually HATE safe pockets and think its absolutely retarded to be honest and the idea of people getting ANOTHER safe pocket is terrible in my opinion. It's why its led to people naked running and shoving blueprints up their ass which is totally fucking stupid. Take the most valuable loot in the game and because somebody with a loot augment 2 and 5 stamina shots beelined to loot spot and suicided out with no chance of even constesting it is retarded.Again, these devs have no idea of how to make a casual extraction shooter. The casual aspect should not come from freekits and equalized gear. It should come from the ease of access to the game, so cheap low level gear but not FREE, and the long TTK so people cant get ratted out by either people with high gear or low level gear. Thats ultimately the main issue with the game, the low TTK and shitty gear balance. And imo the safe pockets too. I think blueprints should >>548174575do that. You should be scared to pick up a rare blueprint and have to fight your way out but at the same time not be able to get downed within half a second. That would make for a better game instead of right now where you properly kit up, go to the loot spot only to see 10 naked bodies who no doubt shoved a BP up their ass so fuck you and then as you leave, some freekit kills you in 0.5 seconds as you turn a corner.
>>548172564If you gate any mode behind having a minimum gear quality, it will instantly turn that mode into KOS PvP lobbies.
>>548175269I pushed it to 200I'll play the new season aswell if they do a good rebalance, I cant be arsed playing the same light/med venator loadout over and over again
>>548175619>nigger uses lack of self awareness to self identify
>>548167909could also turn into a "taste for blood" thing after the first
Is Spaceport the shittiest map? It feels like all the areas are super spaced out from one another and none of the places in the game even have high loot concentration worth enough going to in comparison to just playing anywhere else. Then once you get any loot you just get hit by randoms on roofs or vantage points going to extract or from place to place. Especially in a night raid, trying to leave is an absolute fuck fest on this map because of locations
>>548176734Well, since that's what all we get anyways (thanks niggers) we may as well do it.
>>548177079I hate how every loot spot is a big warehouse with fuck all in it and ontop of that everyone can fucking hear you because of the metal flooring going THUNK THUNK THUNK when you even just jog
>>548176948have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth plaguesis the wise
i hate clicking fast. someone trade me for these 3 venator 4s
>>548177079Spaceport is the best map.
>>548177079Shittiest map is buried city and also has browns playing it constantly
I sometimes use the Recorder to avoid PvP in stella montis and it works 98% of the time so it's an always carry, though I mostly use it when I'm placed in a late game.
>>548167909>you won't know how it feels to have an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex
so the standard reaction to hearing a female is to assume it's a tranny?
>>548177526Is that what you call it when you start crying over dying in a video game?
>>548162680just take some fucking sticky nades.
>>548164969no you can't you can only take cover. I've had more success running from bastion fire.
>>548177735That's literally never happened. Are you the one projecting? The only videogame that's made me cry is death stranding.
>>548177735no you baiting miserable retardit's called having self awareness
>>548162369>>548162587>>548162680>>548177774you can get rocketeer drivers from first wave husks during the map event, pretty sure they also sometimes drop without the event
>>548177672>a real woman would never have to say this
>>548170731Yeah. Anvil is still the best PVE gun and you can buy that shit in the traders menus.
>>548174970>>548175460>>548174849>kill 4 retards and win med>Completely scour it, nothing bar maybe one or two containers were looted>no BP tho I'll take the town hall key, however. was in those tall black metal containers in the central bottom loot room.Run went better than every game i've had today.
i will share one of my veteran tips for extracting:>emote: don't shoot>then use mic: "i'm friendly, we're cool"/whateveranyone creeping around is now wary of the guy that doesn't exist
>>548178308I do this all the time. I'll use the greet/don't shoot and then say hi on mic a second or two after
>>548178308good tip thank
>>548178308my veteran tip for not getting shot>run around repeating "if you shoot me you're gay" as if it were an autistic stim
>>548177957If you're posting images of the hitman in a movie while talking about how you want to know how KoSing feels or saying people are sociopaths for shooting people in a PvP game then it's a reasonable conclusion you take dying in said video game far too seriously and overreact to it. The other reasonable conclusion is that you're trolling but that's boring.>>548177970Self awareness would involve realizing that other people aren't as affected by getting shot in this game as you, that they see it like any other game where people would be baffled seeing you complain about dying in PvP, and even think it's very weird how upset you get over it.
burletta or kettle
>>548177672you must be doing something wronghad a black guy say my voice was hot and probably some white guy clearly shy while talking to me, telling me he had fun and I sound cute, right before the extract timer hits 0
>>548179086kettle
>>548178961im not writing a paragraph in response because i'm not nearly as pathetic and desperate for attention as you arejust know you're fucking stupid
>>548179101which voice are you using kek
I don't think those cucks at Embark have what it takes to make this game last, I mean just look at them, it's obvious. I do hope they prove me wrong, but this game needs more carrots, more incentives for teamwork, more different ARC, better gear progression, more items, more quests and things to discover.Engaging in PvP should have consequences (not just lore-wise, which none exist atm), there should be factions, people you have to hunt down, game modes geared towards PvP and others geared towards PvE. There's no excuses this game has been in the works for 6 years, they had a bunch of playtests and shilled as much as they could. It's time to put out or get fucked.Marathon is coming out in like 2-3 months and everyone will try it and move away, not to mention there might be playtests before then. Tick tock swecucks.
>>548179332If you get this upset over losing a quick /vg/ argument then I can't imagine how bad a big loss in this game is for you. Hope you sort yourself out, bro.
>>548179440I think voice 6 or 7whichever one is the girl oneI noticed the higher numbers just make you sound like a kid instead of girl, I think the one I chose is deep enough to sound like an adult woman
>>548178961I haven't done any of those things, apophenia anon. I'm the one itt complaining about niggers. I'm glad you're not one, or sorry if you are.
>>548179527>Marathon is coming out in like 2-3 months and everyone will try it and move away,
People are going to wake up to the Burletta IV very soon
>>548179702*tick tock*Look at the clock, we're already 100k players down, there's nothing to progress towards in this game.
>talk using the girl voice changer>guys clearly surprised or taken aback when I talk>try to converse with me as little as possible and move on>remove voice changer>most normal conversations in the world>call each other bro
>>548179618>I haven't done any of those things, apophenia anonOkay, if you haven't and don't relate to or agree with the people I was replying to who were doing those things then why did you even reply to me?
>>548179702Everyone will move away from this game no matter what happens if the balance/progression are not fixed. Niggers spoiled the freekit experiment, and the PVE is so shallow they had to add pvp to make the game even mildly interesting. The pvp is broken and shallow. Niggers have made the game so unplayable that the endgame is literally running around naked. Imagine a looter shooter that is so mechanically broken that the best players choose to spawn without gear or guns. Really try to think about it.
>>548179572like half of this thread is you baiting people with pseudo intellectual bullshit filled paragraphs nothing "quick' about the shit you're doing
my favorite thing in the game is to sit in MY HOUSE, alt tab and post here
>>548180113Oh I agree. They need to fix the game. I am laughing at the idea that Marathon will take anything away.>>548180036Everyone is sour to the idea of Marathon. Its far too late for them. Its very very hard to change public opinion once it is set. >But the discord dicksuckers said this last playtest was good!Discord dicksuckers said Concord was good too. Streamers will get paid to play it and theyll move on from it the second that #AD is up, just like they did for that playtest back in summer.
>>548179613yeah most people just seem to use 1, which does sound like a kidI think 3 sounds pretty good
>>548180310based
>>548178308Actually genius gonna start trying this.
>>548180112I simply suggested that you may have an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex. Perhaps the conversation has gone on this long because you are sensitive or defensive about that idea? I still think you were made in God's image, anon. I just want this game to be good. I don't hate the players, I hate the game. Niggers wouldn't be such a menace if their behaviors were not actively incentivized by (hopefully non-purposefully) broken game mechanics. I would love for this game to be something more than another perfect example of why affirmative action doesn't work.
>>548180228My posts have all been a few sentences at most and I think you're greatly overestimating how many posts in general are mine. I guess they are technically a paragraph each. Does it take you a long time to write a couple sentences?
>>548180440wish there was an easy way to test it, I just turned it off to stop making people horny and distracting them
>>548180329I am genuinely interested to try Marathon because I like the art style, I like sci-fi, and Arc Raiders has really turned me on to how fun extraction shooters can be.But yeah, its ridiculously rare to see a game turnaround such a bad rep like this. Especially so long before it even released. I'm open to a miracle Also I never played Destiny, I've vaguely heard about Destiny players complaining that modern bungie is not the most fun dev to be playing under
>>548171414>Keep that shit in the basement. Funny coming from a plebbitor.
>>548171837What loot? Their guns? Only the venator isn't eclipsed by the fucking fucking stitcher and only barely at that. Their shields? Level 3 is arguably worse than level 1. Valuable shit like blueprints are stuffed up anus and are out of reach. Oh boy I might loot generic pile of crafting mats #278043
Alright, I'm all ready for Hidden Bunker Can't wait t die in the first 5 min :)

Nothing a rat hates more than when you fight back
>>548181076There is literally no reason to bring in 15 shield chargers

>>548181501Mods are always gay.
>>548181138I just started salvaging those because I don't have any epic weapon BP, and the 2-3 epics I do have I never bring into raids because of the white/green weapon meta.
what are some usecases for the tripwires?ive used them as a warning, and there are some spots where you can use them to have an enemy path through a mine instead
>>548180664>I simply suggested that you may have an underdeveloped prefrontal cortexOf course, and you wouldn't have done that if you didn't relate with the people I was replying to as evidenced further by the rest of your post. Pretending otherwise as you did is just being disingenuous and I have no interest giving more of my time to someone who will act dumb just for the sake of gaining traction in an argument. Polluting a discussion is far more distasteful niggerly behavior than what is displayed by any of the people engaging in game mechanics that upset you. Have a good day, anon.
>>548180329>I am laughing at the idea that Marathon will take anything away.Honestly I assumed it would take the guys who just want to PvP>>548181358>>548181704how many shield rechargers should I bring, just 10?

>>548182094Bring 2 or 3. Grab powercells from dead ARC and either find rubber or scrap items you find into rubber. Then just craft more whenever you can in the field.

Been enjoying having this female Tarkov player in the background even though I don't like Tarkov. I wonder if there's any cute AR female players. Imagine going on duo adventures with your gf.

>>548182234>>548182346oh right, I forgot about that
Another day another session where all my lobbies havent killed a single Queen because everyone keeps betraying each otherIts so tiresome...

i should really do my trials for a shot at BPs yea? because i dont want to
>>548179086lvl 1 kettle >>>>>> lvl 4 bettina

I'm bored after doing all the quests and tables and 5/6 of the expedition. From playing every day for hours on end to not even wanting to launch the game.
>>548183268>>548183298thanks

>>548179086Burletta is an amazing sidearm with its fast swap but as good as the kettle as a main weapon? Debatable. I'm never mad finding a burletta lets put it that way.

Tried using kettle, got outspammed by another kettle user. Macro it is
>>548178089no thats just what i've been witnessing recently i think the voice changers had the unintended effect of making actual women targets to the point that they have to use the male voice changer
>>548183892Yeah, just a sec, I'll just pull out 'my own fun' out of my ass.
>>548171163fuck you mean immediately, you've had like 5 seconds of freedom
>>548183487I just finished my expedition today, i'm done with the game until the expedition departs and I can see what kind of changes they're making to the game
>>548175439holy shit they even admit themselves that they haven't figured out the endgame yet
>>548177079Spaceport is fun but it's fucking awful for normal looting, most of the points of interests outside of the arrival/departure, Communications and the tower are just complete utter waste of time.Such a huge map with such abysmal amounts of containers to loot, it feels like there's half as many lootable objects as damn battlegrounds with twice or three times the size.Also a huge portion of the map is devoted to outside of the Spaceport which the only interaction people have with it is running past it to get inside.
Have you seen this raider?
bros what do we think about ai
i thought i was talking to a frenchman but it was an algerian. worst mistake of my arc career
>>548185189IS THAT
>>548181726If you are accusing me of sympathizing with having a developed prefrontal cortex, I suppose I am. I think it is odd that you would plant your flag so firmly on the other side of that hill. Also, accusing me of being disingenuous for no reason and then bowing out of the conversation is hardly good faith discussion. I surmise that you are not a nigger, and are in fact jewish, which you display via your rich culture of pilpul utilized in our discussion. I hope you have a good day too anon. Enjoy your saturnian sabbath tomorrow. Shalom.

>>548185592It is truly telling what ebtkitters think is worth screenshotting. Nogs play a completely different game.
anyone know of a guide to fix the smoothing in this fucking game? starting to get kinda frustrating that i can't form muscle memory, it's especially bad when trying to make small corrections on someone's head.
>>548185592>unlocks all bps >still only crafts sticher + ferro heh
>>548185782bp you don't have is pretty good though
>>548185782what is worth screenshotting nigga
>>548185268AI'm tired of talking about it. Corpos overrate it and normies think it's the devil and for some reason love copyright legality when talking about AI specifically.
>>548185782miserable fucks like you make this general so enjoyable
>>548185942You're right! I didn't see that your venator was fresh for you. I hope it encourages you to do something besides freekit.
>>548186032

>>548186217I would say this general accurately reflects the state of this game. Freegros flexing over literally nothing while everyone else complains about how everything is worth literally nothing. I guess you are in the former camp?
>>548186219>>548185782>VenatorOh my how embarrassing
>>548186229is that the haul from pvping people trying to kill the queen
>>548186418No she always commits honraburu sudoku immediately when downed
>>548186478Maybe he's new. I was pumped about my first ven BP. It's still the best non-grey gun in the game.
>>548186473arguments are not a healthy substitute for the attention you are so obviously desperate for

>>548187023>flexes underdeveloped prefrontal cortexNo wonder you love the current state of the game so much!
>>548187021The only 'fix' is apparently setting your mouse to 250hz until the devs get off their asses. So until then you get mouse accel.
Bunker's up. Get in line.
>>548186791What do ebtkitters even do once the actual players are dead? It's not like they pick up the hullcracker and finish the queen. Is their entire gameplay loop just extracting with wolfpacks that will only be seen outside of their stash in the screenshots they post here? Grim.
>>548187124i didnt touch the big ARCs during the first 2 weeks and missed out on all the freak exploits so i guess it's on me for not being a 24/7 streameri never got to experience PvE, maybe this is it for me
>>548187668yes, i've actually stalked one of these retards before, they get the hullcracker and rush to the nearest extract where they ALSO try to kill any non hostile waiting there they might or might not die to a single wasp in the process too, it feels like living among niggers in a white neighborhood
>make all gear equal>be surprised that everyone just spams the low level shit and KoS because gear doesn't matter and no gear fearand reddit doesnt want to nerf the low level weapons or the freekit despite them being the main reasons why people are treating this game like a Warzone.

>>548187678I wish I could tell you that I've seen a successful queen/matriarch lobby outside of the first few weeks, but I honestly haven't. The weekend the matriarch dropped (for real, not the false start) was the last time I saw anything productive get done on a server. The brown horde has descended upon Embark's servers, but apparently that's what they want.
>>548188138They are Swedish after all
>>548188108That could give the map a unique purpose and identity, it really does feel like it's the map that you would want to go to to fight the big Arc.Lots of open space for them to spawn and walk around
>>548188071oh yeah same poster here, had 3 flare panick runs on Dam before finding a late one with friendly ppl and i was also running Equalizer15 mins into the round and with the Queen already smoking a bit, I notice that she starts looking in my direction but not entirelya minute later a wasp from a scout group also goes above me but ignores me for something else (i never could see the player)i said fuck it and rushed to the nearby hatch, i never heard or saw the nigger but the ARC gave him away, i fucking hate people like this
>>548186527No funnily enough I went into a Dam Night Raid looking to get light bulbs from the Power Generation Complex near the north/north east side of the map. Slipped through without meeting a single dude and found a room that needed a Power Rod for entry I've never seen beforeLo and behold, the breachable container next door to the room had a Power Rod in it.
>>548188226*Syrian or Somali
>>548188075its not gear fear when its straight up the better option>ultra rare weapon that requires you to loot high level areas and survive 10 other freekittersor>start immediately pvping other people for freeits more a convenience thing than gear fear.
>>548188895Power rods from breaches there are rng but not too uncommon at night like 1/3 chance per raid basically
>>548188882>chimp hiding in the trees, snickering and laughing to himself about how only stupid people climb mountainsI hate them too, anon. And they hate us (cuz they ain't us.)
I've been playing around with the hairpin in semi-nude runs, and I've decided both that the weapon is kino and that there isn't a single reason why it shouldn't be the sole firearm accessible to freekits. It is an extremely ammo efficient gun that helps players retain a low profile with the integral suppressor. There are only a few common arc that it struggles with:>sentries and shredders, both of which are easily solved if you spend a few moments field crafting impacts or scavenging fireball burners. With sentries you can often stealth over and then melee them to death.>snitches. Honestly I haven't bothered attempted to kill a snitch with the hairpin, but I don't see anything wrong with freeplayers stealthing around snitchesThe rest of the common arc basically get fucked in one shot. Wasps take two per rotor, but they drop light ammo to replenish your supply. That just leaves players and big arc, and I don't see a single thing wrong with freekits being incentivized to avoid confrontation with both players and big arc. Bring a custom kit if you want more firepower.I'm wracking my brain here, but I honestly can't think of a single reason why the hairpin shouldn't be THE sole freekit weapon. Maybe give them one impact as filler to help them if they immediately face plant into a hornet or sentry.
>>548189376The hairpin is kino, but it will never be the ebtkit weapon, because it requires skill expression. Skill expression is White culture, and freegros should not be subjected to it unwillingly.(btw, hairpin tears through snitches if you don't miss your shots.)
>>548189376Freekits should not be fighting anything. Their gameplay should be skulking around the shadows avoiding players and ARC gathering enough crafting material to make a proper kit.
>>548186680i am indeed new, this run i just finished i got 50k raid achievement i didn't notice loot had value like that
can someone share some naked run routes or strats here pls? i know they were posted some generals ago but im so tired bc of gym my exhaustion is taking over thanks
I did it guys, I beat the game and finished Hidden BunkerI got a Blue Lightstick, a Heavy Gun Parts, and Shotgun Silincer blueprintsI didn't even use my shield rechargers
>>548189737>(btw, hairpin tears through snitches if you don't miss your shots.)Good to know. I haven't bothered since I assumed that it was armored enough to resist the light ammo and I just adopted the mindset of don't play stupid games if you don't want to win stupid prizes. I guess I was being overly cautious.
>>548189976naked runs strictly for blueprints* i should have specified, srry bros
The whole lobby was in the bunker
>some guy shooting at me in Stella>yell in proximity chat "I'm coming up behind him, gonna flank">he turns around >blast him with a Toro What a fucking idiot
>Blue Gate night>breaching some husks>get sprayed>run and heal>push the retard with my Kettle IV>tell him "good night!" on mic as I'm about to punch his face>he surrenders>he had a Stitcher IV and still lost to my KettleKilling rats like him is so satisfying.
>>548189750I agree, and that's why I think it's so outrageous that the one gun that most encourages that sneaky scavenger playstyle is the one that isn't even in the freekit spawn pool. What the everloving fuck was Embark thinking?
>>548189976>take red tree for field crafting and security breach>rush breach lockers for basic weapons/ammo>keep and rubber parts you find, so the Arc power cores you loot from pve can turn to proper shield rechargers>kill an ebtkitter for a shield to recharge, or just pull one off a corpse if you find oneOther than that, just skulk around, loot, and have fun. Entering naked is very liberating, because you can never leave with less than you started with, and you have a safe pocket for anything truly worth losing. Or go in with a hairpin so you can handle issues on your way to security lockers. This is how the kitless should play, but again skill expression is racist. Freekits should not exist writ large. The experiment once again proves the tragedy of the commons to be correct.
Why pugs so fucking retarded with no mics and zero attempts to ping/communicate, and why random solos are so social to a point they give you better callout on proximity chat?There must be a phenomenon for this
>>548190232>>548189976Just spawn into EMS missions and throw yourself at containers. Preferably stuff behind breach doors, but it's just a numbers game. The stuff behind breach doors just has slightly better odds. You can virtually match that by just opening a lot of regular shit. Consider the apartments on Dam battlegrounds. There's nothing special about that area, there's just a lot of containers to open in a relatively concentrated space.
>>548190396Kettle, Stitcher and Ferro all need fat nerfs. They should be Hairpin/Rattler tier. Its too much with all these dogs running around with top tier weapons that cost peanuts, it invalidates the entire gameplay loop
>>548189376>snitches. Honestly I haven't bothered attempted to kill a snitch with the hairpin, but I don't see anything wrong with freeplayers stealthing around snitchesIt's not that big of a deal throw in an extended mag and level that hairpin to IV.If you hit center of the fan area you can knock it off in a couple of shots and you fire really fast fully upgraded.
>>548191039I agree. I have Venators, Renegades, Torrentes, etc. sitting in my stash because it's not worth using them in this meta.
>>548190835>there must be a phenomenaIt's just groupthink, anon. The solo players can form groups, while the grouped people already are. There is more incentive for solo players to join a group that has already formed then for a grouped player to merge groups or leave the one he's in. You will ironically always find more cooperative players by queueing solo.
>>548191392>Venator not worth using in the venator metareally
>>548191329I've been informed that I've overestimated the quality of the snitche's armor plating. That's what I get for only ever shooting them in the past with medium/heavy ammo.
>>548191492Don't really see a point in using it when the white weapons are so much cheaper to run and have the same punch.
>>548191392>>548191492The venator is the one worth considering using since it's the one weapon that seriously feels like it has an objective advantage over just running around with stitcher/kettle. But again the stitcher/kettle can be spammed for the cost of two sticks of gum and a piece of string.
>>548190140They had to set the bar very low in case a nigger equipped a hairpin on accident. Can't make the tools too complex for the lower apes.

Fixing the game:Combat stuff>Reduce the headshot multiplier on grey weapons>Freeniggers restricted to the rattler I and hairpin I>all offensive quickuse items removed from freeniggers (field crafted impacts and fireballs/wasp drivers are RIGHT THERE you lazy fucks.)>shield effectiveness increased across the board>active shields fully negate headshot bonuses>blue shields receive an additional bonus vs buckshot and light ammo, while pink ones gain a bonus against medium as well>TTK now has wiggle room for higher rarity weapons to receive some buffsRNG bullshit>Reverse Engineering Projects so that players aren't at the whims of RNG to get gear. They work as follows:>consume one copy of a craftable item to start a reverse engineering project>begins an expedition-style project where you are given a series of shopping lists of assorted items>upon completion, you receive the BP>intensity of a reverse engineering project varies based on rarity. Individual recipes can be individually balanced.Players receive a means to make incremental advancements towards a desired blueprint without being utterly at the whims of blueprint RNG. Assorted junk-loot retains value long after we're done upgrading workbenches. BPs remain valuable and exciting finds because they instantly unlock the recipe without needing to go grind another batch of rusted gears. Embark can directly balance the project requirements to prevent reverse engineering from invalidating BPs.

>>548194347Hey, that was me ggs
>>548196478Well if you're a farmlet then my condolences, but yeah, 9 springs per mk3 mag hurts. You get 12 per day from traders, then you can just recycle whatever mk2 mags you find, that's aside from finding springs and recyclables. >>548196150My dupes aren't super impressive, let me know if you want any of these.

>>548196702Only PvE combat gains any kind of serious advantage from bringing rarer gear into a raid, and some free nigger who is risking nothing can delete you in less than a second.
>>548196858In EMS raids. Just start opening containers. It's all RNG. Stuff in breach rooms have slightly better odds.
Today, I will remind them
best stuff to recycle for springs?
>bring tempest and heavy shield>get stitcher 1'd in a single mag Why bother with purples
What does Stella night raid actually change? I was expecting it to be pitch black but it's more or less the exact same
YOU'RE BAD IF YOU DIE TO A FREEKIT GET GOOD LOLLMAOACATUALLY
>>548196858>>548196695Used to be that "raider" type loot (i.e, raider caches, supply drops, battery hand-in) had a good chance of giving BPs. in a pre-stella release change they immensely reduced BP chances from "raider" type loot, and seemingly stealth changed other POIs and keyrooms to not drop BPs as frequently so everyone who came in after that patch is fucked.It's also ruined the endgame as BPs are the carrot on a stick you farm for every season - but they are now extremely random and the only way to target them is farm high container density areas like a bugman and reset if you don't hit anything.BPs themselves are also really imbalanced. there are plenty examples like this >>548196308 where the cost is far too high and the BP becomes pointless outside of value stacking for reset.
>>548197259Rusted tools give 1 and are pretty abundant during night in my opinion. Cooling coils, Spring cushions and ruined accordians break down into multiple. Level 2 and 3 mags is the only other ones i think.
>>548196858https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ihf1rLHYAPhgBlGD5LTzApGJx046a5elEczol8ZD88I/edit?gid=0#gid=0
>>548197326It's so dumb because it's possible to spawn into a version of the map where the power is out and everything is illuminated by emergency lights. But I guess that's just weather for the map and not a night raid thing.
>>548197536Naked runs are a blight the amount of dead empty bodies from naked run surrenders is crazy during night and storm raids
>>548197326Idk i just know theres 3-4 easily accessible black boxes on stella and im hoping night makes them act more like blue gate black boxes and will shit out the mk3 augments i want but no luck so far
>>548198102I hit those at least 30 times in a row and got jack shit. It's just the room on blue gate, not the black boxes in particular
>>548197723Just wait until you have tarkov-level loot vacuum cheaters whose sole purpose is to enter your raid, immediately shove the single good BP in the raid up their ass and surrender, then go sell it through their chinkoid reseller for 50c
>>548198187Damn thats gay, i hit them and multiple other areas like 6 times last night and didnt see a single bp from stella at all meanwhile buried city shits them out at me.
>>548197326>>548197710It does feel like the power out mode of the map should be the night raid version. Maybe change the daytime variant to have it be like a "air recycler failure" and parts of the map are covered in thick fog/smoke.
>>548182215Where did you go? Dam during storm?
What's the point of getting super high scores? Are you guys getting into sweat leaderboards, for me at least it looks like just getting 4k in all 5 categories will put you in top 20 and a 2x promo.
>find/craft good gun>fully upgrade good gun>afraid to lose good gun >join game with shitty/mediocre gun (or free gun) while good gun never leaves stash>mfwYou should be able to put weapons in your safe pocket or at least have a single weapon pocket in higher level augments.
>>548199062Yeah you can clear 50k with a good spawn and not losing time to PvP, thankfully most of the husks are in low traffic areas so I think I've been shot at once attempting itClearing Old Battleground, Red Lakes, and some of the player spawn points near Testing Annex should get you like 35k+
>>548199572Wouldn't matter because you still would just leave it in your pocket or die getting ambushed while using a PVE weapon.
>>548197232Ven stats are pre-nerf btw
>>548199572A gun pocket would be nice, does Tarkov let you shove smaller guns up your ass? Though with the TTK you'd hardly have time to react and shove it up your ass if you get jumped.
>>548199310Higher tiers have sweatier players i missed the first week so 24k is still getting me double rank up but my friends higher group 35k isnt even top 20
>>548199742Also if you have squad Spaceport is better but it's too fucking big for a solo to clear it all
>>548199828>does Tarkov let you shove smaller guns up your ass?No. It used to be a thing(you could shove a rifle in there) and it was dumb af but I don't remember why.
Formicai has a jumping puzzle.300h and i haven't seen this before.don't tell reddit if it's the first time this has been posted anywhere.
>>548199840>35k isn't enoughDamn, I feel like the Tryhard ranks are gonna be my plateau if that's the case.
>>548199572>I should never lose my good gearNo. There should be less safepockets, not more. And honestly, the only thing that should be able to go in the safe are crafting mats. Everything should be fair game. Otherwise thats how we end up with 20 naked guys at all the looting hot spots. Its a dumb system where the optimal way to play is to go naked.
>>548199980Anything good up there?
>come home>all night raids and ems just ended as I was about to queue in>need to wait an hour for new onesthis is so stupid
>>548199980I've done it since day 1, you can do it in any of the towers. Sometimes you get a weapon case, ammo case, medbag, or grenade tube
>>548199980I saw some dudes trying for it while doing the quest there, as I was leaving one of them fell and their flare popped and the other dude went "oh shit" which was funny.
>>548200229>>548200128
>>548199572This is why I only use the FerroIf I had anvil blueprint, maybe I would use that, but Ferro is cheap and trusty
>>548200082Safepocket on naked is crazy especially since indoor arcs are a joke you can outrun.
how much ammo should I bring for the hullcracker for matriarch
>>548200781a ferro 1 and stitcher 1 with about 30 heavy ammo and 100 light ammo is enough to kill the one guy fighting it and take his gear
>>548201016that's evil
>>548201070don't worry, once you equip the hullcracker, someone else with a stitcher 1 will kill you and continue the cycle.
>>548200608It is funny too they have this idea that a casual extraction shooter should have no gear fear when gear fear is a big attraction to these games! Thats what makes it fun, at any moment you can lose your cool stuff. Getting rid of that turns it into Warzone.They already have systems in place to lessen the impact of gear loss, cheap entry to the game, being able to craft the gear. Its just that the balance for these mechanics are fucked right now. BPs should spawn more, not be safe pocketed so you have a chance if you dont spawn next to the best loot places and such and such other good suggestions seen here.A casual TTK should not mean never lose good gear. It should mean low cost of entry, high TTK, simplified shooting and healing, but ARC has some of these ideas in the game, but the number balancing is just fucked.
>>548200082if its a valid strategy and game mechanic to kill other people for their loot its fair game if i give them absolutely nothing and am fine with only having 1-2 items in my asst. hairpin enjoyer
buried city night raids are unplayable due to everyone just camping extracts. this game is actually poorly designed.
>>548202089what would you change, game master kun
>>548202217zero damage zone around extract so pve is the only option. you already got to extract safely, you get to leave with your loot. fuck every extract camping nigger in this game
>>548201697>Getting rid of that turns it into Warzone.More like Fortnine with persistent loot
>>548202089Fun fact: the shitter camping you (also shitter) also has to extract.
>>548192472It was bound to happen eventually lol
>>548202089Naked run night city is the only way to play due to extractfags since it has some of the worst extract points. Just play day if u need something from it that you cant just safepocket
>>548202463One of the anons put it in my head, although I did see a few people start doing it on day one of this trial set
>>548202089Some extractions look like they were designed to camped
>buried city night raid's last extract is always the one that's through the hole in the groundYep, it's aids.
Thoughts?
>>5482027752 blazes on the ropes and a smoke inside usually deters ambush camp who wait for train to arrive. If already posted up it is basically death though
>>548199980Half of the "easy loot, no pvp" videos on jewtube tell you to climb up there.
>>548203364I wish you motherfuckers had told me about Breach when i first started
>>548200082I'd go in loaded for bear, but expensive gear at best provides an extra 0.04 femtoseconds of survivability.
>>548203364>overencumbered stam regenits shit, if you instead invest into the shield break roll and less equipped weapons weight you are way better offi have never been overencumbered with those in a long timeraider chace extra loot has never triggered for me yet, better take 3 deep breaths for 2s less no stam usage after depleting it completelynot a fan of the slide either, most opinions online looked like it doesnt do shit
>>548203985Yeah the equipped weapon weight reduction saves you like 6-8 pounds depending.
Do Tagging Grenades affect enemies through walls in the aoe they affect? Like can I just chuck a tagging grenade and it'll tag enemies behind cover or does the grenades "explosion" have to hit them to tag them?Like if I think someone's standing on the other side of a door can I tagging grenade my side of the door and hit them with it?
>>548204252afaik, through walls
I wish there was more of a way to interact with the asshole players that just KOS. Like, if you wanna be a good Samaritan, there are no rewards for it. You are always on the backfoot, get less easy loot etc.Meanwhile there is zero punishment to just sit at extraction with a Jolt mine and Stitcher 4 and collect free loot without any hard work or negatives. Like yeah sure I can remember your name but there's hundreds of thousands of players and you dont even see someone's name unless they talk on mic. I wish you could like, paint them for a vendetta or something. Some ingame mechanic to put up a bounty against them, put a target on their back or a way to go after them yourself again. Like some sort of mode where you can queue into their game and hunt them downAs it stands I just feel like a retard actually playing the ga,e looting, recycling, crafting, building a cool loadout and this retard with two cheap items steals all my shit
>>548204662Genuinely surprised this wasn't a reddit post.
To the night raider on buried cityI'm sorry man, we were friendly when we met, then we split. I got ambushed by someone I didn't see and bolted, I was jumpy and you ran around the corner. I just saw some guy running at me in the dark I didn't know it was you.Feels like shit brahs, the one time I don't bring a defib
noway

>>548205503The the freenigger SEETHES at the thought of consequences
>>548206474Fucking imagine if low karma freeshitters had even less access to extracts forcing them to congregate around them while HIGH KARMIC PLAYERS get access to more extract points or can even special high karma hatches.

Anyone else just freekit to get quests done? Not risking my shit especially for the "in one round" quests lmao.
>>548207250i also freekit in to learn the weapon case spawns woah
>another YT fluff pieceWe want a proper patch and non ugly cosmetics, Embark, not your reddit coded content.
>>548206021>it has nothing to do with making people who actually like pvp go after rats thoughPvE players really struggle to understand this but, unlike you, there are people who actually like the concept of the game and aren't just playing it because it's popular. They enjoy both PvE and PvP. They like the dynamic nature of player interactions. Sometimes they might KoS and sometimes they might help someone kill a leaper. They might do both in the same match. Anything that marks them for doing the former is forcing them further into that and ruining what's unique about the game. This is also ignoring how easily such a system could be abused, which should be obvious to anybody with a three digit IQ, but that's besides the point.

In case everyone missed it, they're going to make "certain modes" PvE (which obviously would mean the boss fights) but not until the current roadmap is done.Games dead, time to go home.
>>548208932A few hes ago i got betrayed by an algerian and lost my fav kit + a million grenades and things i couldnt fit in my stash. What’s worse is i was expecting it but still lost the quick draw. We were face to face
ive met 20 people at spacestation(NA) and no one has kos'd me
Honestly still don't know if i should do the expedition. On one hand losing my blueprints sucks, but on the other hand i don't really have anything left to do in the game

>>548209686That's kind of exactly what's needed, PvE only modes will act as a quarantine zone for babbies, they should keep one of the bosses (queen/harvester) PvP and make matriarch and every boss that follows PvE until 1 min after the boss dies or something, with contribution based loot. As a KOS PvPer i really can't fucking stand the game's implementation of PvPvE where the only winning move is letting everyone else do the work and ninjaloot the blueprint

>>548206850I now realise that getting both boss BPs in my first two boss games was pretty insane. Kinda robbed the joy of getting it later once I understood how hard it was though.

This game has an identity problem, and the devs already admitted it when they said that they thought the PvE was boring and slapped on PvP. The problem is, the only reasonably entertaining part of this game is the PvE grind. Figuring out the most effective ways to kill various larger bots, dodgerolling rocketeer rockets and leaper jumps, finally taking down that pain-in-the-ass bastion or bombardier and ripping out their cores, working with randoms to take down a matriarch or queen; all of those are more fun than the PvP featurethey slapped on near the end of development to add more playtime to the game. While that part of the PvE grind is fun, the problem arises that after you get the materials to make a thing from the large bots, there's really no other reason to kill the bots. You can't grind out matriarch/queen kills for random loot pool drops like a chance at a blueprint that you wouldn't find in a container somewhere. After you upgrade your workbenches, why would you go out of your way to kill a rocketeer again? That leaves only the PvP side of things, which is really just a battle of who clicked first, or who caught who by surprise. The TTK in the game is, on average, too low to react to a person shooting you, especially if you're looting or otherwise in a menu. I, as a brand new player, can craft a Stitcher, ammo, a basic shield and looting kit, and then go out and kill a person fighting current "end-game" content like a matriarch or queen, then take their loot and leave. The identity problem is going to become much worse as more people max out their levels and run out of unique things to do in the game. The expeditions are not going to be worthwhile for a lot of people, especially those that don't play often, as losing your blueprints and levels/skills just to grind them out again isn't exactly fun. Having an optional wipe just shouldn't be a thing; either wipe everybody at the same time, or have no wipes.
>>548210892how will less punishment for killing someone result in less kos
>>548210816>damage ground-based enemiesspam wolfpacks during matriarch, hatch key out
>>548204662The good samariton reward is that you found someone.
>>548211041damn, I'm out of wolfpacks, but I'll keep that in mind if I ever get the blueprint
I wonder how many devs are scrambling to make their own version of AR or changing current projects to make an AR-like.All I've seen is more corner peeking tactical shite like PUGB Black Market and Beautiful Light but there's already a bunch of those, it's so stupid.
>>548204662we need da division rouge mode where everyone gets an alert to kos you
>>548210893its fixable if they give it proper gear progression (albeit casualized), better pvp balance, add lots of personalization/status signalling and rpg-like social aspects but i think the devs arent cut out for this and will want to rely on the shitty and overpriced "outfit" cosmetics for example.
>>548211125It's also really easy to do duing hidden bunker, all ground arcs spawn on top of the bunker, it gives 2x progression and most lobbies go entirely PvE mode for that event
stella montis nights... home
>spawn late>surrenderthis is why i take freekits. i don't want your fucking sloppy seconds of a raid
>>548211027you're assuming that every kill in the game is "kos guy kills a pver", when in reality a ton of the deaths are a freekit kosfag getting killed in self-defense, then 5 other freekit kosfags rush in like flies to kill the guy who just defended himselfraider flares arent a "punishment" and they aren't intended to be, its just giving away position, to the detriment of how the game plays whether you want good pvp or good pve/immersion
>>548211226That's what I was thinking, it seemed like there were 2 bastians around, then it's just killing a 3rd and that would push my score
The combination of low TTK, third-person corner peeking and bad tickrate makes PvP in this game an uniquely bad experience. Nothing like shooting someone for them to enter cover or hide at the end of a hall, so now both of you are in a perpetual standoff because whoever gets out of cover just get cornerpeeked and shot to shit
>>548181657We're in the GTA IV phase where smart people are crafting the game but nignogs and bugs are going to beg for yellow paint everywhere and that grey weapons should not harm them because they are wearing yellow paint and the horde will make GTA V 'more popular' because there's less people in it but more soulless husks pouring in.
>>548210893Pretty big black pill to swallow desu
Earlier an orange ski mask didn't KoS me on Spaceport. I think it's because he rushed to KoS people trying to kill Queen.
>>548211392so just take the flare away from the free kit
>>5482117143rd partying from 300m+ away is inherently shitty, let me guess you've been doing naked runs for 100 hours?
>>548210893Based and logic pilled
>>548211581Professionals have their priorities set. You need better gear to get their attention.
>>548211581>Orange mask rolls up near the end of a Matriarch lobby>Hey man got any light ammo I can help you
>>548210000>make freekit rattler 1,hairpin 1
>>548210560>both boss BPs in my first two boss games was pretty insane.You don't have the third?
>>548212097how is that even a response to what I said?you don't want to be punished for defending yourself from rabid freekitters, so remove it from free kityou just don't want any repercussions from kosing
>>548211168Im just happy to be playing third person again. Because it was the genre on ps2/3 and then died for ages. Helldivers and Arc bring me so much joy.
>>548141767any alternatives to this but with Queen, anon? she spawns much farther away in an open area so its kinda sketch
Why does scoping in with the osprey shift your aim to the left? I keep trying to "correct" against it and fucking up my target tracking
>>548212539Which was is the third? Ive got Equalizer and Aphelion
>>548210893Good post right there. I think it's gonna get far worse with the expedition since you'll get players with gear and blueprints but without the edge pvp wise, and fresh wipers who will start to kill everyone they meet to get some easy loot back if the content is limited as it is now. Maybe the devs will manage something satisfying, but I doubt it. I doubt they'll even ever fix shields and basic weapons or TTK issues.
>>548212553you can hear gunshots from quite far away which should be enough attention gatheringthe "repercussion" for attacking somebody is the fight itself and the risk taken, you still risk getting 3rd partied from all the other factors (making noise, drawing ARCs), the thing is the flares are an extreme that show literally across the map that somebody just died, and somebody else is extremely vulnerable, it draws in people who otherwise would not be or could be thinking otherwise, it dramatically changes the odds of things and encourages a chainreaction of low-risk braindead 3rd partying
>>548212884The three are equalizer, aphelion, and jupiter.
>>548212286>>548212371I make it a rule to KoS any ski mask of any color scheme because they've always turned out to be rats in my case.
>>548210893The fact the devs think PvE cant have tension is going to kill this game. They simply didnt make content hard enough.
>>548200781However much you want to contribute to your local nigger's welfare.
I just want the snow maps to come out already
>>548213780I have a feeling we'll see fewer niggers, if you get what I'm saying.
>>548213780>walking anywhere>CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH CRUNCH
>>548213780dont worry' the swiss part of the map will give us 4 new maps with snow variants
>>548213486They could have taken inspiration from Shadow of the Colossus or Monster Hunter for large bots, but they instead asked the biology question "wat if ant was 5000x bigger" and then when they found out exoskeletons don't work at larger sizes they turned them into robotshalf the bots in the game are just the same thing but different sizes.>ticks, queens, matriarchs, emperors (background characters as of right now) and barons (the husks that put on a rock and roll light show when you pop their hatch) are all the same, just different sizes
do BPs even spawn on stella montis?
>>548214026Yeah agreed. Im convinced the dev team is exceptional artists and music designers then mid programmers and game designers. They need some more MH/Souls influences.
What the fuck is a Wall Leap?
>>548214026they should just pay a royalty to Shiftup devs and ripoff some of Nikkes enemy boss designs.
>>548214298Yes, I got a wolfpack bp in the assembly keyroom.
how do youtube comments have more IQ than these fucking finnswed devs
>>548213486It's clear they don't have a real idea to make the game a good one. The casual side isn't bad but forcing cooperation through tough content or making intense pvp (or both but it ain't christmas yet I'm afraid) should have been a priority, moreso when they realized their pve content wasn't engaging enough. A shame, these swedes were close to greatness.>>548213780At this rate they won't even give us of snowball fights
>>548214378Jumping backwards during mantling, the perk makes you go backwards further.Useless garbage in 99/100 scenarios.

>>548210893Some thoughts of mine about problems and potential solutions:>freeniggersRight now they're mostly a bunch of rabidly aggressive murderhobos adding a hell of a lot of extra risk to each run.>grey weapons are too powerful relative to pinksA core tenant of the genre is that players can risk bringing higher quality gear into a run, and in turn reap the reward of higher performance. But that's not true in ARC. Any nigger with a stitcher is neck and neck with someone rocking full pink gear. The largest reward that players get from bringing extra gear into a mission comes from traps covering their back, or mobility items letting them access special parts of the map.>looting value is hyper-concentrated within the BPs.Why risk anything when your reward fits within your anus? Rush the loot rooms nude. Loot the containers. Who cares if you die? Just respawn and try again until you can shove the only thing that you care about up your ass.As far as solutions go, I think a number of things need to happen.>1: Increase the power gap between common and rare gearI think TTK needs to go WAY up so that there is wiggle room to actually differentiate the common gear from the rare. There's no functional difference if both kill in an eyeblink.>2: Reign in freenigger aggressionGive them kits that are dogshit for ganking. Remove their grenades. Restrict them to rattler I and hairpin I.>3: Shift loot value towards what cannot be shoved up your ass.Increase crafting costs so that extracting with a big pile of crafting mats has more value. This increases the value of looting intact copies of augments/weapons in the field since that represents an expensive craft that you don't need to perform. Sure you can shove BPs or cherished items up your ass, but big picture you will need to routinely extract with either big piles of crafting mats or piles of pre-assembled gear.
When's the next bunker? I dont need the data anymore and just want to kill the bastion and Bombardier that spawn at the entrance
The looting RNG today is god damned fucking dogshit, haven't found a single fucking blueprint after looting red areas as well as bum fuck nowhere random areas (because reddit fags always find blueprints there) all dayTheres literally no point looting when all you ever fucking find is shit that that stupid fucking chicken gives you for free. If I loot a high tier loot area I need to be finding at least 2-4 pinks but no
>>548208885Want a Tempest BP for it?
>>548214895Had no idea that was a thing
last week data suggests that even if ARC Raiders has an overall bigger playerbase, it's definitely bleeding more people overall than Battlefield 6 which has stabilized at 200-250k peaks per dayduring the week numbers in particular are choking the game down, which means it has a bigger CASUAL playerbase, who are definitely gonna exodus faster the more devs postpone fixing the fucking economy and pvp balanceEMBARK WAKE UP, i'm not shitting here, I've seen this story happen before with The Finals

>>548215871the swedes never learnjust look at helldivers
free kits need to be fucked over somehow, people need to be made to engage with the risk/reward mechanics. even with loot as ubiquitous as it is you CAN become poor in this game if you keep bringing in high end shit and losing it- it just doesn't fucking matter if you can insta-queue until you get a stitcher, win one fight, and take all of the reward with none of the risk
>>548217875Just needs to be hairpin/rattler only, can only spawn into late raids.
>>548217875There is a million ways to do this but the important part is nothing will be done to change it.
Easy solution to freekits, you're forced to sell/recycle any gear you get from the run.
>queue into Queen lobby again to get a kill>23 mins>flares keep going up and shes not even smokingfuck this game, its unplayable
You should KoS anyone with a light ammo weapon. Light ammo weapons are for people whose sole intent is killing people, they are useless against ARC. It's the mark of someone who has betrayed humanity
Is expedition worth it?
I'm conflicted on naked runs. On one hand, it being the best way to farm BPs is fucking cancer and I will never wipe until they fix this, on the other, it's peak comfy to pull 3-4 new BPs every night before bed with the game muted while I listen to GFE ASMR.
>>548218681regardless of how comfy it is it isn't good for the game

>>548218915Share where you found it anon
>show up to the Harvester last minute >pretend I was always there >defib guy twice >earn trust >snag the BP>anyone asks if they got something good>"nah">leave Works every time
>>548218681I don't think it matters because the entire loot-reward structure for this game is completely fucked. Who cares if people are going naked to get blueprints, you have people spawning with only 18 minutes left on raid, you have grey weapons being better than 90% of the rarer alternatives, you have a problem where grey/green loadouts can accomplish literally any goal in the game to the point where bringing more gear becomes entirely detrimental, PvP is entirely gear-agnostic while PvE requires good gear meaning that PvE players just become loot pinatas for players who don't care at all and are running free loadouts, the entire economy is entirely fucked.
>>548219006Santa Maria houses in a drawer in the house with the "secret" room
>>548218502Nobody knows yet.For me, yes. The endgame blueprint loop is fucking gay and everything is pointless. The reset is equally pointless cause you're out of your fucking mind if you think I'm doing those asinine quests again, or upgrading workbenches, or any of that shit. I'm going out ferro/stitch every time and I don't give a FUCK.Just give me the skin even if its dogshit, I don't care. And I'll just do expedition again, that'll be my only focus besides the raider deck/events next season.

>>548219162damn is that real?
>>548212803I'd just do what everyone else does on Dam, they go inside that small room with windows overlooking the Queen. Just bring door blockers, noise makers and jolt mines then set a zip system leading straight down to the queen and one towards the hatch. similar to linkrel>>547750170fighting her from this roof isn't ideal because queen has arching attacks that can land up there
>>548219162HOLY SHIT
>>548217875Remove their grenades and restrict them to rattler 1/hairpin 1.
another successful husk raid
>>548218497Light ammo is perfectly fine for most of the small arc.>t. Hairpin
>>548219791It is actually fucking insane freekits can spawn in with shit like mines and heavy fuses/det nades
>>548219048>>548219162This is exactly where my head is at with this game
>>548219983It's completely egregious. I've been running semi-nude with the hairpin and running around Stella. Everyone acts like the shredders are fucking terminators but my semi-nude ass can just roll over them with scavenged fireball burners, synthesized fuel, and field crafted impacts. All of the tools are there but people want to be directly spooned with shit like free Det grenades.
>>548220329Do shredders drop good stuff? I've never tried killing one before.
>>548220103i mean i get it right, they want the game to be a casual-friendly extraction shooter. free loadouts are more accessible so casuals can have a safety net. Greys are basically just as good as purples (with a few exceptions) because they don't want casual players getting ruthlessly shitstomped by sweatsbut here's the thing and this happens in a shitload of games: if you give casuals an easy to utilize advantage- sweaty players are going to abuse the absolute shit out of those advantages, like they are with the free absolutely fucking risk/reward.imo there needs to be more of a gulf. pvp-oriented players need to be encouraged to risk their gear. more whites need to be balanced like the rattler where they have crippling flaws differentiating them from their rarer equivalents. this won't please everyone but it's important for the game, imolike it can't end up like tarkov where rare loot auto-wins- because then you end up with the problem where everyone always shoots on sight because there's too much at stake- but if loot doesn't matter at all a player who wants to kill for fun has absolutely no reason to reconsider insta-queue no stitcher go next until they get one and hold W at the nearest player
>>548219048>>548220103they can fix the balance and progression fairly easily and then also keep it relatively casual on top of it, but they need skill and identity expression which transcends the grind and can keep a game liek this alive longterm, its also how to satisfy both the pvp and pve centric players and keep the social environment it had early on. nobody will listen to me though.
>>548220443shotgun ammo, their armor (useless) and normal arc loot
>>548217875Limit them to 3 a day, with the possible trade it will give enough ressources to shitters so they feel good. Also, remove the ass pocket on naked runs. No real loadout, no play. Gut the magazine on the stitcher, buff medium/heavy shields. Make epic guns good. Put more ARC on any given map. Force players to engage with the game. Make cooperation a necessary thing even for casual solo play. Let the real ones be lone wolves, and the carebears bond together through suffering. Make rats go back to the margins of history instead of being feared.Balance the game around pvp interactions, and let the good loot flow freely between many hands. In a such a game, ARC should be a near constant nuisance, a threat you don't forget about while you battle raiders for the best gear.
>blue gate matriarch>everyone is stuck under the recessed circle>I'm in a building nearby>some rat shoots me in the back>run inside>watch the rocky outcrop>nothing>run outside>go behind rocks>see him further away looking for another target>sneak up behind him>kill himis there a better feeling
>>548220443IIRC they tend to drop a mix of shotgun ammo, mechanical parts, the usual power core/arc alloy, and then also some new green loot item that's named something like shredder armor that is worth 3k.If you are using guns, target the blue jets of their thrusters. But mostly just hit them with explosives. I swear one of those magnet grenades does 90% of its hp. ~3 impacts will probably kill it or put it near death.
>>548220878>>548220625I see, I'll probably just keep avoiding them unless it's one of the rare chill stella lobbies.
>>548220526>Greys are basically just as good as purples (with a few exceptions) because they don't want casual players getting ruthlessly shitstomped by sweatsThe thing is that the sweats and freekit noobs should not be frequenting the same areas of the maps. The players in full on battle rattle should be storming the high value loot zones while the noobs should be creeping about random apartments and shit.
Stella event ends in nine days, think they'll have another patch ready by then? I at least hope they add the shredder to other maps
>>548221234Stella is an event map?
>>5482211013k for one stackable item is decent cash for what it's worth, but avoiding them in general is OK. Just remember if one is blocking your path that you can just field craft a handful of impacts. If you've done any looting you probably have a small pile of chems/plastic on hand.
>>548221305Think he just means the event that came with the stella release that gave raider bucks and skins
>>548221114Ideally there'd be more threatening arc in all high-value zones. Shredders inside any dam POI, for example.But for some reason the only threatening arc are all outside and way too big to threaten anyone indoors (usually). Pops, fireballs, ticks, and turrets can catch the careless and retarded, but they're total nonthreats.
>>548221305They added some event where we earned merits first for donating supplies and then for earning points. No clue what the merits are supposed to do though.
>>548220526>it can't end up like tarkov where rare loot auto-winsFunny you mention that, because Tarkov's initial attempt at toning it down ended up being a total disaster. Armor meant nothing, kitting out guns meant nothing, the entire progression system got crippled and scav mains suddenly could go toe-to-toe with PMC's, fucking up the risk-reward balance and making many just stop playing. Sounds familiar doesn't it?
>>548221708Doesn't sound similar at all because unlike Tarkov Arc has good PvE
>>548221413>>548221449Oh that shit, right
>>548221445Imagine ziplining up to control tower on spaceport and there's a shredder up there with like 3 poppers.

>>548221234Pretty sure it end on a monday

>>548222369you think I killed him for FREE?
>>548222638he was already aware of the guy shooting at him and saw me kill him
>>548222967You're spiritually KOS anon, I'm sorry.
>>548221708tarkov is also thanks to its mechanics a hellscape thunderdome where you would have to be an idiot to try and have a social interaction that isn't gunning someone down and calling them a retard which the developers here are clearly, explicitly not going for.straight up arc is not worth playing if you just creep around and kill everyone you see. the emergent social shit is memorable, dime a dozen straight to fighting pvp encounters barely are. do not comprehend people who see it as a "manhunting game"
>im the only person shooting all the legs >5 dudes just run into the harvesterummm is this how you kill this thing? Can the harvester be stealthed without killing the queen?
i literally did the most dmg to a queen with my equalizer + 2 wolfpacks and some fucker beat me to the last hit for a microsecondyou bet your ass i SAMd that achievement, not gonna fall for engagement treadmill bsat least i did it legit and didnt one shot her with a flame trap
>>548223269it's pretty trivial to get inside the harvester without touching the queen from what I've seen
>>548223269I think so, I saw a guy on youtube do that
>>548223325I heard you just have to magdump the queen as it's going through it's death animation to count.
>>548223269in between the fire phases you can just LOS the queen around the harvester.
>>548223170Yep, fully agree, even as a pvp oriented player. I either gun someone down for my own safety or if they actually intend on fighting me.
>>548223326>>548223342wtfffffffff so they got all the bps while I was fighting the queen, well at least I got two queen reactors to sell...
>>548222874Developers fault. For not putting in any effort at all to make PvP interesting. You could do so many things with a game like this and they've done the bare minimum.
>>548183342everyone has a 160p muted window up (and some even have two just to ensure you get drops when they stop streaming)
>want to hunt surveyors>never spawn>take loadout for pvp or normal looting>surveyorsgod i fucking hate this game
>>548223402nah i did all of that, was even perma shooting one one of her yellow spots on the leg for extra dmg assurance, the wolfpacks all hit her face mostly too, it's just RNG bc there were at least 8 people around
>>548223431i'm also a player who likes pvp. good pvp encounters make the game but the encounters that make the game special have some context to them. Stuff like dealing with a posse of solos who have teamed up to manhunt you is so much fresher than "ggs nice teamfight"
>>548223735Huh, that fucking sucks.
>>548222874ultimately the developer's role in making a game is to save the player from themselves as hard as it is
>>548223758yeah its coded that way, it doesnt even take dmg done into accountyou have to last hit a rocketeer and bastion for the other 2 achievements as well, but thats piss easy so nobody struggles
>>548223695Even if you take shit specialised to kill surveyors they're fast as fuck and hard as balls to kill when they roll away
>>548223748Had that happen to me recently. The guy emotes don't shot but doesn't put his gun away, I blast him, but it just so happens we're near extract so two other dudes think I'm extract camping. Ended up downing one of them with an anvil from afar just to fuck with them.
Anyone else think the expedition project and progression is almost too casual? Balance issues aside I think the cracks are showing because they made it too easy to finish everything
PEANUT BROS.... THE STREAM IS UP! I REPEAT, THE STREAM IS UP.ETERNAL /NUT/ GENERAL COMMENCE.
>>548224235look mom i posted it again
>harvest almost always 100% drops Jupiter/Equalizer bpsare these even rare anymore
Should I grab silent breaking or faster breaking for opening containers? I feel like silent would probably be more useful right?
>>548223269harvester and the queen are basically 2 events in one
>>548224735No and also why the fuck would you ever bother actually using one
>>548224735nope, go both of them on my first run on the same canister lol
>>548224086I just feel that other than "I'm bored" there's no reason to actually go through with the expedition. The quests aren't compelling and to be honest leveling up the workshops isn't very interesting. I was really hoping they would decide to add skins or at least additional colour options for doing it. >>548224735They're rare in the respect that a very small percentage of the player base have completed the harvester as it requires you to have 3 players.
>>548224735They guns are incredibly rare because no one is going to bother bringing them when you compare the amount of effort they take to craft vs the effort a free kitter puts in as he ganks your dumb pve ass the moment you fire them.
>>548223269Yes, easily. Run inside and then1. Look for 3 batteries (1 spawns on the floor, 2 spawn inside containers inside) 2. Place all three in the center console 3. Shoot the yellow nipples that appear4. Loot the center three silos when the challenge is overThe two attacks are 1. Fire, whole room starts flashing, just get outside by using a door or through the roof holes (this one is faster to get back in, but also more risky because the Queen may be able to hit you)2. Electricity discharge, this can be negated by just not having a shield onOnce the event is over only 3 people get to loot the center part so hope you get a BP and slap it into your anus cavity because chances are the other guys who are not looking will starting KOS.
>>548224775faster is more important because its less time your ass is hanging outthe audible area with the silent breaching maxed is about a 20% reduction
>>548225172Fair enough that makes sense
>>548225064>3. Shoot the yellow nipples that appearThey also break in 2-3 hammer swings if you want to save ammo and be quieter.
>Gear up to kill Rocketeers for the weekly>Game spawns me with 17 minutes left>Say fuck it and go to extract>Die to an extract camperVery cool, love late spawns
>>548199980i dont know how to get up the second set of shit after the first scaffolding
Guys please don’t forget to doompost
>>548224924The PVP has actually pushed me away from the game. I'm not anti-PVP but it feels like the game has slowly become more and more about players shooting you in the back because of the extremely low TTK than it is actually having interesting PVP like in Tech Test 2.Also the game spawns SO MANY players/teams that the moment a fight breaks out you know 2-3+ more teams/players are on their way rushing you.
>>548225413or maybe he was just going to extract too and didn’t trust you, so he killed you.

>>548225413Can't get extract camped if you hit the button with 10s left in a round
>>548225480i mean that's another design thing that should push you away from defaulting to pvp but free loadout players just... do not care at all
>>548225413>>548225635It's so funny to me that "Maybe he was extracting too" is always the excuse these morons make. Like it's really obvious when someone is actually moving towards the extract vs camping. Mixing the two up would be extremely difficult the way the exits are designed.
>>548225782I do think eventually Embark will be forced to add a timer or delay to the free kits. If they nerfed the weapons it would heavily hurt regular players on budget kits too. If they removed the healing items to make PVP more dangerous it would make them completely unviable against any ARC. Weight limits? Free players don't care.No safe pocket? Same thing.
have any big brain raiders broken down their favorite loadout and balanced their 280 slots accordingly to never bottleneck?
>>548172564I thought this was supposed to be a casual extraction game and now it feels like it's about to turn into something else
>>548224041i typically just wolfpack them but i think other people are hunting them too i saw a blue beam and by time i got to area it was no where to be found assuming it was killed and others looted it out already.
>>548210893yeah TTK being this low while having shit like looting taking the red dead redemption 2 approach to drawn out animations for realism combined with 3rd person peaking shows how much shit clashes.
>Some shithead camping the tower next to exfil on Spaceport>Kills like 6 people in a row>Lay a trap, as he finally comes down I kill him>Some other retard ran up behind and Venators meAwesome
>try to give people the benefit of the doubt>some raider hits me with the don't shoot>be friendly>get shot>it's some nigger this is how KOS stories begin
>>548225776you underestimate my dedication
I voted ARC Raiders for GOTY on the off-chance they give us some more free arc coin.
>>548225776i'm a free loadout. what am i going to do? lose something? LMAO I don't actually do this
>>548225413pack a tagging nade and lob it into the known rat spots
>>548226602big brain
>>548226329A casual extraction shooter would be something like Hunt showdown, that has as close to zero outside-match interaction as possible.>no stash management>no gear management>no crafting>no selling or stockpiling looted gear so looting only helps your current match
Every item taking up the exact same square of stash space is really annoying. >but just do expeditions for more stash space once you finish buying them allThat will still not actually solve the problem. Why didn't they just do grid inventory like Tarkov and let you buy ammo crates/quick use crates to dump shit into?
>>548226329They move around, thats why you couldnt see the blue beamThe blue beam is them surveying the area and beaming the data to the mothership, while it does this its core is exposed and takes giga damage.When its finished, it closes up, stops the beam, and rolls somewhere new. It also closes up at even the faintest WHIFF of a Raider and rolls away
I love this game and its atmosphere and I will not ruin my immersion by playing it like Apex Legends. I will continue to wander through the rainy, sometimes even stormy, nights and loot every crate, drawer, car and plant I come across.
>>548225413>>Game spawns me with 17 minutes left>Very cool, love late spawnsThat can happen? I've never payed attention to the clock on spawn in before.
>next one is 7 hourseeeeeehhhhhhhm wtf
>>548226663I'm not even particularly mad about the rat, i'm mad at the game for spawning me late as shit and making it so i just geared up for literally nothing
>>548226434If I see the dreadlocks hair option or orange Ryder outfit I just KoS. It's like douche bags are specifically attracted to those. >>548226752Hunt isn't even really an extraction shooter. It's just a Battle Royale you have to leave for the exit after winning.
>>548213780are snow maps just going to be a fomo timed thing like night/ems and shit or what
>>548173069Gear fear? What fucking gear? All of fucking sucks. My problem is that im tired of my time being fucking wasted by grinding out something only to be rewarded with crap over and over and over again. Fuck I can't even enjoy pvp because most people flat out don't fight not because of being friendly but because they're acting like rats. Rats will always exist but if all you have for pvp is ratting then your pvp is just done for. I mean even if you don't play solo what else is there for pvp? Shields basically mean jack shit and the best guns in the game aren't even legendary. They added in pvp so the game wouldn't be a shallow pve game but forgot to make the pvp actually good and instead half assed it, stiched it onto the game and no one told them during all these playtests that it had problems because everybody's been dick riding this game like crazy.
>>548226934Yes, you can spawn in at 30 minutes (40 for Hidden Bunker) which is game start and nobody has looted anything yet, or as late as 17 minutes left in which your only options really are either pvp or just extract asap
They need an in game tracker for shit like hidden bunker.
>this shit cost 3x more cloth than the basic one:l
>>548223046>>548222056did you fuckin say ANYTHING?
>meet a lad on spaceport night>we chat while we loot and get nothing of value>head to control tower a6>a guy just got murdered>bro goes in first and gets ratted too>hose rat down with my hot stitcher load>pick up bro with my secret defib>extract togetherno homo
>>548226991I think it will either be a permanent visual change that stays until winter ends or an event like the night/ems. I do wonder what the effects could be if so.>>548227129I always wonder why they chose to make the herbals out of an American flag when the game is set in Italy.
>>548226752Fuck off hunt showdown is not a casual extraction shooter. It's a pvp game wearing the skin of a pvpve game where barely anybody gives two shits about the pve part. All it is is pvp and maybe killing a boss.
>>548226991>it's fomo because it's only available every other hour foreverinigo_montoya.jpg. Yes it's a major map condition.
>>548227081i got chu senpai
Anyone good with Raiders Caches?What's the best map to farm them?Is this map accurate? https://metaforge.app/arc-raiders/map/spaceport

>>548227317Best places are around the edges of each map. (Not the very edge but like the outer 1/4.) I find the most on Dam but if you get an event like exploding caches on Buried City you'll find them everywhere.
>>548225413Nah mate. When youre hunting big arc, spawming late and waiting for 10:00 game time is the strat.
>>548227316Fucking jesus is it really once a fucking day like this?
>>548227693you rike
>>548227782If it's once a day it should be open for like 6 hours at least.
>>548227069What the fuck that sucks, now I have to keep track of that too. I just assumed things would be randomly pre-looted to provide some variety ot the map containers.
>first naked run EVER>do it on stella on purpose just to fuck around>this dropsnot even funny at this point man, this fucking game
Night raids ending at one of two extracts every time is lame. Having only two is good but it should randomly pick two at round startEMS should start with all extracts up but the storm should have a chance to disable all but one at random for gameplay variety
>>548227664thats why i always have a defib in me ass
>on Dam Battleground>got another Anvil blueprint >say in proximity chat I have a gift for the first person I see>guy runs up>give him the BP>he is so stoked he insisted he gives me a Wolfpack>thanked me numerous times as he extracted This feeling of making some dudes day is a better feeling than any rat could ever understand. https://streamable.com/0mdnga
>>548222874>Is this the fault of the game, or the fault of third worlders who ruin everyone elses experience?Ultimately the devs.>there is no gear progression for PvP. No risk/reward for bringing rarer gear. Just extra risk and no reward.>freekits, and generally grey weapons in general, are just too competitive>TTK is way too fast. There is almost never a PvP fight. It is almost always just one guy ganking another because the first guy who shoots gains a massive advantage. This SCREWS OVER anyone who dares to take the massive risk of being friendly. It also massively buffs rats who hide behind corners with their third person camera wallhack so that they can freely pre-aim and peek shoot the very instant that the prey looks away or dares interact with a container. Sub second TTK in large part thanks to absolutely fucking MASSIVE headshot multipliers.
>>548228430Both night and EMS feel like half baked events. The way they're designed also means the most optimal play is exit camping which is a stupid design. The only downside is that exit camping you may run into more players since everyone is funneled to the same exits.
>>548228804now imagine being the variety of twisted psyche that gets that same shot of pleasure from intentionally killing a downed raider as the extraction doors close
>>548227918>Things are randomly pre-lootedNope, map is stacked at game start. There is more loot on the map than can possibly be taken by every player in game anyway
>>548228871The only way to make the free kits balanced would be to make it so that it takes like 3 mags of a base level stitcher, ferro, or kettle to kill someone. It would put them at a huge disadvantage in every fight even if they do scummy stuff like shooting people extracting in the back. Unfortunately a large amount of the community would riot and cry.
>>548228804>Get knocked out inside the extraction lift by the guy that just said "Hey dont shoot! Wanna team up?" and waited with you at the liftI am having the opposite effect. I am beginning to not care. I'd say at least 7/10 times that I give people the benefit of the doubt and say "Yes" when they say "Hey dont shoot", I end up regretting because they end up backstabbing me in some way.This game is such an allegory for real life there are so many assholes that it genuinely ruins the experience for people who just wanna be good samaritans
Is there a best way to farm arc cells? I am CONSTANTLY running out of them to make shield charges. Yeah I can go into a raid solo and just farm as much arc as possible but that is honestly very slow and can lead you to being killed losing everything. I feel like I need hundreds of these pieces of shit. Really wish you could trade seeds for them.
I basically already have my inventory fully slotted outI only have like 10 blueprints and cannot be bothered to farm for moreI'm bored of the caravan shit already and don't want to farm dehumidifiersDuos and trios is just a brain dead slaughter festI can pretty much slap anything with a jupiter and 10 grenades to solo it at this pointDying has zero consequence for me anymoreGive me fun and wacky ways to enjoy the gameSo far I've been doing the following:Maxing out weapons with rank 3 mods and dropping it for peopleRoleplaying as a bank teller in stella montisLuring people into absolutely nowhere with glowsticksRandomly following people acting as supsicious as possible until they have a breakdown and shoot meCoordinating fight clubs in the hidden bunkerHelping noobs blast arcHelping arc blast noobs
>>548229368Bigger arc, probes, and couriers are a great source of advanced arc cells, which recycle in stash to two normal cells each
>>548223269>Can the harvester be stealthed without killing the queen?Yes. Most of the lobbies that I've been in that kill the queen complete the harvester first. Go loot the legs while they're busy playing redlight/greenlight with the flames.
>>548229146It would cause an outcry but its absolutely what should be done. There should be a MUCH bigger jump from grey, to green, to blue, to purple and orange weapons and gear.Right now the system falls on its head completely, because theres so little point in actually putting the time and effort in to upgrade. Not only is there a lack of endgame objectives to work towards outside of the basic loop of >Go topside>Get loot>ExtractOutside of Expeditions, and its not even clear what tangible rewards there are from expeditions yet, but theres no incentive to even progress your gear at all.When the meta is running around with a Light Shield and a Gray Gun, which is cheap as cheaps to pimp out to max power with mods and upgrades, the entire system falls over.Because loot is worthless.I feel like the devs took such a 90 degree turn adapting the game from a F2P PvE co-op experience, to a B2P extraction PvPvE experience, that they really focused on polishing the gameplay loop so that the actual gameplay is fun, which I think they succeeded in. The problem is they forgot to actually balance the game's progression.
>>548229368Just buy shield chargers brothere is zero reason to craft anything you can just buy from a trader
>>548223506FWIW, getting the jupiter/equalizer BPs is easier than getting the queen reactors. Sometimes you get rounds where nobody even interacts with the harvester and you can just do the puzzle solo.
>>548229146Literally just copy Marathon. You can only freekit if you're to poor to run anything else. If a freekit manages to down a geared player he can't circumvent the risk/reward loop until he commits and loses his own gear
Besides Stella Montis, what's the killiest map in your experience?

He must have had a lot since it took him a while to finish looting.I am no longer amused by freniggers. Freekits need a massive nerf. They don't need grenades. Hairpins are more than adequate for freekit looting.
>>548225480There should really only be two spawn tables, start of match and at 18 minutes.
Went back to Duckov. What I was looking for was a less scammy and sweaty alternative to Tarkov, what I got was a super casual high TTK THird person shooter where loot doesn't matter at all and there is zero tension because your inventory is just a respawn button with extra steps.I think its a damn shame but don't believe it will change, theres lots of room for a shooter that doesn't force you to just grind for 5000 hours lmao, but theres no need to go the other extreme and overcasualize it into being pointless.
>>548225635>or maybe he was just going to extract too and didn’t trust you, so he killed you.Whenever I'm like this, I just let the guy extract. If hostile fucks are waiting in ambush, then they're going to jump him. I can then third party the nigger. If nothing eventful happens, then I at least know that the immediate area is probably clear at the moment that I hit the button to call extract again.
>>548226793I mean i camped in the area i saw it for like 10 minutes and never saw the blue beam again i just assumed it was killed
>>548229695the thing is they have to try and hit this balance with "loot isn't that valuable, so I can afford to risk playing nice with others" and "loot is valuable so picking a fight with everyone I see on sight is a risk." the main beneficiary of free loadouts isn't poor casuals, it's optimizing PVP players who want to see a number go up with zero cost. gutting freebies is the best way to achieve this that I can think of. at the bare minimum is makes people actually put their loadout together and spend SOME resources instead of going "ok go next ok go next ok go next."fucking with the stitcher 1 and junk can come after addressing the obvious issue
>>548214442If you think this is a high IQ idea you are retarded
>>548230678yes
>>548226132>If they nerfed the weapons it would heavily hurt regular players on budget kits too.Not really. Hairpin and some field crafted impacts are more than enough to deal with the random arc that you encounter in the buildings. The freekit players will just be bad at ganking players, and that's a good thing.>but the freenigger wants to go toe to toe with players in the control tower or other high loot zonethen he can stop being a freenigger and build a custom kit.
>>548214442how do u determine the context of those raider kills reliably. people already are easily tricked into thinking someone is the aggressor even if they're the defender
It really does feel like they accidentally over-corrected on the casualization of gear because everything about the game points to you needing gear when you first come into it but after like 20 hours you realize it's all pretty pointless.
whats the smartest way to go around donating medical stuff? im not swimming on bandages or arc cells
>>548230569what an idiot. he could have at least waited until one of you was on the console before throwing his nade. what goes through the mind of such a person
>>548226776It would also help if stack sizes in the stash were larger than in inventory. For example, light ammo stacks to 100 in inventory but 1000 in stash.
>>548231129convert materials into green kits
like the most important thing to me is that the game stays a story generator where people have interesting social encounters mixed in with PVP if it becomes pure carebear pve I don't want to play it. if it becomes rust or tarkov where anarchy just means you're playing a shitty slow paced deathmatch with looting in-between I don't want to play it. social sandbox encounters are the unique appeal of this genre that isn't just better achieved by other genres, that's then thing I need preserved
>>548231129buy the heavy and medium shields every day and sell them
>>548231289People aren't ready for that. Because the moment you say factions and features people get all scared that it'll change too much.
>>548231201God please
>>548230678>>548230960What is the reason to have any spawns other than at the start of the match? I'm not kidding.
>>548231289That aspect is definitely the most unique thing about the game imo. I think if they want to try and preserve that PVP needs to be more of a choice instead of a zero risk default when you see a guy and he hasn't seen you.
>>548160879This bitch is a fucking RATshe was trying to teach her new friend to showstopper and kill people calling in the elevatorwhat a literal subhuman
>>548231414>and sell themI meant give them to the expedition of course
>>548231482>What is the reason to have any spawns other than at the start of the match? I'm not kidding.There is honestly no good reason. Its a shit hole all this spawning until 15 minutes of a match.
>>548231482Late spawns in other extraction shooters are strictly for the SCAVs to come in and pick at the remains of the map because usually they are big enough that the initial PMC players cannot hit every spot. I don't know why they didn't just copy this shit verbatim..
>>548231568asian server is no mercy
>>548229146>The only way to make the free kits balanced would be to make it so that it takes like 3 mags of a base level stitcher, ferro, or kettle to kill someone. Or, get this, COMPLETELY FUCKING REMOVE THE STITCHER/FERRO/KETTLE FROM THE FREEKIT SPAWN POOLS.They can have the rattler and hairpin. Those are enough for welfare fucking runs. You do not deserve to be competitive against other players if you are on fucking welfare.>but the big mean gear chads will slaughter freekits in a head to head fightSo don't fight the geared players. Avoid contact or be friendly. The gear chads aren't looting random apartment #3892. They're rushing control tower/security rooms/etc.The stitcher/kettle/ferro all probably still need some nerfs, but taking them out of the hands of rabid murderhobos with nothing to lose would be extremely healthy for the game.

Endgame gear is a joke. I can kill any player character as effectively with an unupgraded stitcher, or even just with an extended mag mod, as I can with a Bobcat or any other end-game weapon. I can kill Arc with a Ferro or Anvil as effectively as I can with a Hullcracker or any other legendary weapon. There's no point in collecting mats, there's no point in PvE after I've gotten my workbenches upgraded. This game's falloff is going to be unbelievable.Embark needs to add endgame Arc that is impossible to kill within 30 minutes even as a trio; you'd need a lobby to focus fire the Arc to even have a chance of taking it down. Those background enormous Arc need to come into the map and immediately kill everyone that's not in some sort of cover. The game lore is that Arc are unbelievably difficult to kill, but the gameplay is the polar opposite; every single arc minus the matriarch/queen can be dispatched with a couple of wolfpacks, and even the matriarch/queen are simple Shoot until invuln stage, take cover while they fire, repeat bosses. There's no strategy, there's barely any teamwork, and there's absolutely no reason to go out of my way to kill them unless I want the one blueprint from the matriarch that I can't get otherwise.
>>548231568>This bitch is a fucking RATogey
>>548231703And it would be so easy to do this in a weekly patch instead of making us wait months for a fix
>>548231528the thought has crossed my mind before.like darkwraiths in souls games were great at generating stories- and that was a choice. it was something you did for fun, and it works well. like arc is good about that to an extent, my biggest problem right now is that free loadouts allow you to mindlessly gank as much as you want and face absolutely zero potential consequences. a lot of stuff is tuned to make actively seeking PVP be something suboptimal, but not facing a gear cost nullifies all of that
>>548231775desu during the betas people were saying that the rocketeer was busted and NEED to be nerfedif you've been a member of ANY pve live service community in the last 5 years you'll notice that people get mad as FUCK if PVE enemies can reliably kill them or if they're difficult/frustrating to handle. I agree that ARC need to be significantly tougher than they currently are, or at least have tough new variants introduced- but I get why they might err on the side of caution
>>548231775Thank you for saying the same old shit that has been repeated in these threads ad naseum for the past two weeks. Just call this general>NEET faggots cry about the same old shit over and over and over while still playing the game and still constantly posting in the general.Shut the fuck up already.
>>548231727It reminds me of an episode of Kino's Journey about a town who has no laws. One traveler looks forward to going there and being allowed to be as evil as he wants, gaking what he wants. Then he's completely surprised when all the polite citizenry gang up and kill him when he shows the slightest aggression to the first person he sees. Cooperation is just as bloody a strategy as solo hunting, you shouldnt be surprised by this but retards are.

>>548231727there are people really lacking in imagination who genuinely seem to struggle to conceive of why you would play this game if not to gun down every single person you see even though there's no reward for doing so other than "getting their loot" which might not even be something you needlike "bro teams are ruining the sanctity of solo pvp" what the fuck are you talking about what part of this game did you look at expecting an undiluted competitive environment
>>548232270Nice retort faggot.
>>548231775Arc units need shields so you can't just alpha strike everything and have shield damage affected by ammo type.Light would do very little and Heavy would be most effective, this would give shit like the Bettina an actual use
>>548231182Like I said, it sounded like some manchild spic. This isn't even unusual in game though. Most of the naked violence in this game comes from freekits. The per-capita memes write themselves with how the welfare players are the most violent. I understand players having itchy trigger fingers near high-loot zones, but I swear 80% of the aggressors just in the middle of bumfuck nowhere are freeniggers. Nothing of value would be lost if freekit weapons were cut back to the rattler and hairpin. Both are more than enough for dealing with the assorted arc that patrol buildings.
>>548228991I do this because i'm pragmatically KOS, not because i enjoy it.
Look the bottom line is Embark has proven they have zero interest in actually balancing anything with these little weekly patches they're putting out. The real test is going to be what they do in December. Until then we might as well stop whining about it.
>>548232765they tried rapid fire weekly patches with the finals and the reactionary approach to balance didn't help too much imo
>>548229984We're talking about a mixed race civilization that can't even recreate a goddamn spring, lead by an Indian lesbian that put no protocols in place to stop people killing each other when repopulation is a serious concern.The swedish mind pays none to the harshness of reality.

>>548232093I think the arc are largely threatening enough when aggroed. The problem is that there are too few of them and it's too easy to deal with them piecemeal.Imagine for example the bastion. It's pretty easy to just stay in cover to poke it to death. Now imagine us playing ARC in the good timeline:>you're behind a shipping container poking a bastion no big deal>Suddenly you hear *BWROOOOOOOOOO!!*>the leapers, plural, KNOW>they're comingFighting the arc would be a lot deadlier if fighting one would ring the dinner bell and get others to collaborate against you.

>>548233865BasedIm gona do that. Its one of the few things I have the bp for.
>>548218459Anon, just keep providing welfare until the 0.0001% you get the white nationalist server that's handing out aphelion BP to the volk.
>>548231775>>548232168No he's absolutely right though, and you can see this in real time by how streamers have straight up stopped playing this shit because there's literally no point anymore for them lolEssentially you're getting less new players (hype has died down, streamers aren't streaming it anymore), regular players are getting "Pvp" fatigue (this is increased by gear being pointless in pvp for the most part, so you can very easily get ratted by free kits), and players that are most dedicated are giving up because "endgame" is a joke.
>>548232093>people get mad as FUCK if PVE enemies can reliably kill themHD2niggers are a plague on the world
>>548233968>blanketing
>>548232941Maybe the mindless pvp will calm down. I like taking my time and the dope social encounters. Getting shot in the back isnt fun to me desu

>>548233878the design philosophy of the finals was encouraging constant improvisation and having four teams on the field plays into that. playing around the positioning of 2-3 independent groups could be fun and chaotic as fuck, I would just never play that shit competitively for money.shit the reason competitive players wanted it to be 2 teams was to make it consistent when being consistent was the opposite of the game's goal
>>548234331Buy an ad faggot
>>548233562This. The game has enough good credit with the community I think the majority of people complaining are complaining due to frustration and wanting the game to be better and to live, not because they want it to fail
>>548234112Also I think the toxic attitude of the community when you critique the game ("IT'S FINE!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU JUST SUCK GIT GOOD! GAME IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY, I'M TIRED OF HEARING YOUR CRITIQUE (THAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE) SO JUST IGNORE IT") Meanwhile the game is dying because everyone sees these really obvious faults with the game but a small minority of reddit freaks would get upset if you fixed them. I dunno, seems like a small vocal minority will go down with the ship while everyone else yawns and moves on
>>548234426Yep exactly
>>548233665I walked to tesco the other day after being signed off work for sickness for the week and I swear to god I could hear hornets. I played too much
>>548234426People that complain about the game want it to get better generally, if they were done with the game they'd just stop playing.
>>548234331fucking pvp brainrot niggers
>>548234373
>Peanut is liveOh thank god
>>548234898i stopped playing and moderately post my ideas to fix it and discuss them because i have nothing else to do and enjoy that, the game doesnt have anything to get me back right now
>>548235114/ourfoodgroup/
>>548234331>jew promises something in exchange for something else>breaks the promise immediatelyThere's something about Shroud's disgusting jew rat face that pisses me off to no end, I'm actually on the cheaters' side just because I hate that faggot.

Retarded kotniggers shitting up my thread..
>>548235524I'd subscribe if he did
>>548235390Oh yeah, i posted him and i despise him but he's publicizing the issue that has ruined every single extraction shooter to date.He's also blatantly cheated himself at very specific points of his career to boost his clout - CSS in his early days, PUBG not long post-release when softaim was just hitting the scene and no one knew about it(all of his cheating vods are now deleted and scoured from yt), and there were a few insanely suspect warzone clips - But if i trust him on anything, it's calling cheats when he sees it.

>>548236710What am I looking at
>>548236710
>>548236801roasted nuts
since you're such a peanut lover, how do you set up a stream like that where you are a peanut? what's the tech explain
NOOO YOU CANT TURN THIS INTO /NUT/ GENERAL THIS IS FOR A PLACE WHERE I CAN BITCH ABOUT THE GAME"S DESIGN CHOICES THAT THE DEVS WILL NEVER CONSIDER OR TELL STUPID GREENTEXTS THAT NOBODY GIVES A SHIT ABOUT NOOOO STOP THAT NUT
>>548233503They couldn't code that in, so they added freekits. Now niggers do that for free.
>>548237150It was arcane tech until someone posted a guide to it.If you're going to do it, you'd better have an original twist to it and actually be entertaining enough to be worth watching. There's already a handful of LE EBIN PICKLE RICKS out there.
>>548235582>>548235783for me its amon amarthhttps://youtu.be/9wo6lNn4KVE
>>548237426yeah im pretty good at it, i even got an accent, whats the guide?
erm im watching this nut guy and he kinda sucks
>big boss takes multiple people to kill it>drops multiple of a rare item>item is radioactive or some shit and your shield can only protect you if you only have 1 in your inventory and if you pick up any more of the item then you start taking DOT
>>548237505It's on youtube and i've forgotten the poster, but it had a how-to title you'd find in a search pretty easy.
>>548237505>got an accentAlready lost. Peanut is a straight white male. Therefore /ourguy/.
>>548172086Why the fuck would i EVER surrender and let you have my shit? I'm going to make it as hard as possible for you. You DO NOT deserve my stuff.
anyone got medium gun parts BP to trade?I've got Torrente/Venator BPs
>>548237814>You DO NOT deserve my stuff.Holy seethe.You don't deserve your stuff either, until you've extracted with it.
>>548237483I saw Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth and Gojira at a tiny venue in 2006 and it's kind of crazy how the headliner (CoB) faded into irrelevancy while the other two are still popular today.Seeing Gojira opening for the olympic ceremony and remembering that me and my friends were like, 3 of the 5 people in the pit for their set is kinda crazy in retrospect.

Talk me out of getting the astronaut outfit before it rotates out
>>548238273what do you mean "rotates out"
>>548238273>being this retarded unironically
>>548238130Answer the question. Why should i surrender and let you have my stuff instead of making you work for it?
>>548238340Store refreshes. New outfit weekly. It'll rotate out. Open a book
>>548238367No one is going to rescue you. You've already lost the fight. Go on and start your next raid quicker. You aren't actually making it any more difficult for me to loot your corpse.
>set my mine up below myself on space port tower>someone zips up>it goes off>it knocks me off too even though I'm on the roof>conveniently a guy third guy is there ready to knock us both outwew, bullshit but kind of funny
>>548237935how do i trade for le torrente
>>548238367Nothing. If you're salty and want to make it harder or try to escape that's up to you.
>>548238516Not him but I strongly believe I have a moral imperative to park myself next to a boss bot if I get third partied or cheated on.
apparently cheats in this game are super simple and readily available too fucking kek. What a disaster
>>548239171i would be more surprised if you told me about a game where cheating was entirely impossible
>>548238639We queue up, put the BPs in our ass, duo queue, drop them, grab the other one, die/leaveCarnival#0045 is my ID
>>548238214alexi is dead bro :( I saw them in 2006 as well but it was a massive concert. "Trashed, Lost & Strungout" will always be a banger
whats stopping me from griefing with free loadouts on stella
>>548239171Same engine as the finals, which has rampant softaim cheaters. combine that with the playtests and you've got day 2 cheats. Usually there's a month's grace before it happens, wasn't the case here. The only solution is time to ban being low enough that no one can make money off servicing.Time to ban is so high right now unless you're a streamer reporting that things will get real bad, real soon.EAC is also a massive scam that is so bad at what they do it's laughable. Every game that's paid them tens of millions has become a chinese invasion simulator where everyone is cattle for a career RMT cheater to farm for a month before he buys another account and does the same thing all over again.
>>548240153Venator KOSs
>>548240163Why cheat in video games to begin with though?
>>548239375damn I never realized how bloodthirsty people are in duo queue +rep
>>548239614That shit was funny. I stood on top of the exfil unarmed just staring at them shooting us and they kept going
>>548240292Casual cheaters are a phenomenon among every race of people, the reasons for it are always varied and usually correlated with low iq or mental issues if you're not 13 years old.The reason for career cheating is pretty obvious when we're talking about thirdies, chinks and russians.
defib bp would probably be worth alot more if they didnt just sell infinite of them in the store
>>548238490>he doesn't know
>>548240479
they should never make another map like stella
>>548238490I would just politely correct you but you are being a faggot, so instead I'll just call you a retard. You are retarded and the outfits will always be available for purchase>b-but muh store rotationInstall The Finals to see how Embark handles their microtransactions. Its free.
Is there a way to get Bombadier cells without killing them? The PvP is rampant around them.
>>548241458Watch them, and follow the people who loot them. Then kill one of those people
>>548241458not afaik, just bring 3 or 4 wolfpacks and kill it asap, grab the cores and keister them
Is there a way to get Queen reactors without killing them? The PvP is rampant around them.
>>548241578>hurr i am retarded Rocketer parts can be gotten without killing any of them faggot
Is there a way to get Matriarch reactors without killing them? The PvP is rampant around them.
GOTTEM
>guy camping a quest spot Somehow this is gayer than exit camping.
>>548242203Because there's no guarantee someone will come to do the quest. Meaning they're purposely gimping their engagement chance in the hope that the kill will be easier.
>>548240292>Why cheat in video games to begin with though?Retarded question. Obviously the primary answer is "money," the secondary answer is "because you can get away with it." Yes it's mostly retards/teenagers cheating. Does it matter who cheats? No. The only thing that matters is how easy it is to cheat/how many players are cheating, and after reading >>548240163 my guess is these Swedes don't know how to combat it properly and it's going to get out of hand fast (you know it already is getting bad when streamers are running into it aka players aren't even hiding it and are flaunting it)
>>548242294Yeah, it's super gay.
yeah the peanut guy is funny but can he beat THIS fucking content?: https://youtu.be/fH3KVDH7sZ0?si=pmUEa1_wmncYXqXf&t=146
is there a point to exp after level 75
>>548242390Buy an ad faggot
why did this succeed but concord didnt? both games have dogshit DEI designs
>>548242448There's no fat women for a start
>>548242448PvE is good in Arc
>>548242448I can make a white man in this game.In Concord the only white guy was canonically gay, the rest of the cast were transpoc.
>>548242604>>548242604>>548242604new raid
>>548242448we got vtubers to play
>>548240524I got two BPs in the same run earlier
>>548241458>Is there a way to get Bombadier cellsThis was the hardest part of the game so far for me. There's no simple way to get them if you play solo. Spam Buried City/Blue Gate and get lucky with spawns and friendly lobbies. Bring lots of wolfpacks/grenades/hatch keys (yes, you will sometimes get ratted and lose a fully geared loadout)Most often I would have to wait until there was like 5 minutes left in the map and I was hopefully the only one left fighting, then take it down solo and stuff the Bombardier cells in my asshole as I died to the map exploding
>>548242448One is original
