I forgot how annoying it is to try and get snitch cores when everyone else is too. I just want to be able to make hatch keys again

comp or muzzle brake on the arpeggio? I cant fukin decide...I guess you miss 1 shot on the 4th burst without the muzzle cause of the horizontal pull but the comp doesnt make even the first 2 shoots on target. Tested both on tier 1

is reticle bloom, or recoil, affecting your accuracy more? mod accordingly

I would probably default to comp without having tested it myself

>>551285659
the bloom only starts to really kick it at like the 3rd burst but the first one by itself isnt any more accurate with either, I remember runnin a comp 2 with it last wipe but Im under the impression a muzzle is better when I was testing it out

After expeditioning I have come to realize that I have 0 motivation to continue playing this game. The horrid balance. The shitty matchmaking. The endless grind towards a dull and garbage endgame. The fact that they took away workbenches even though at first it said you'd keep them. The way you can't move your workbenches so unless you set it up the same way as before you are now confused every time you go to craft. The way trigger nades will completely invalidate every single other mechanic in the game during a fight. The way fighting big arc is literally worthless. The BP grind just to lose it all again. The way resetting skills allowed people to test everything and deduce that there are only like 8 skills in the entire tree worth taking. The playerbase turning more and more into micless kosniggers. The entire trial system. Everything is just so dull and mindless. This feels like an MMO, where you just log in to have something to do, but you aren't actually having any fun you're just killing time.

>>551276836
You will never be a real extraction shooter. You have no chase, you have no progression, you have no thrill. You are a battle royale twisted by persistent loot and PvE into a crude mockery of Escape from Tarkov. All the praise you get is uninformed and half-hearted. Genre veterans are bored and unimpressed, "fans" play 2 hours a week and don't know any better.
Power gamers are already done with you. Thousands of hours in other games have allowed nolifers to abuse bad design choices with incredible efficiency. Even aspects that “work" look half-assed and flawed to anyone who has played a videogame before. Your risk-reward structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a million normies to buy in, they'll turn tail and bolt the second you attempt to require some effort in order to try and give your game longevity.
You will never last. You wrench out a shitty cosmetic every single week and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel irrelevance creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually the honeymoon will be over - casuals will move on to the next shiny thing, nolifers will get bored. Nexon will put you on life support, relieved that they no longer have to put actual money into the game's development. They’ll milk whoever's left with increasingly predatory MTX, and the fanboys will keep pretending this game is some sort of underrated gem, just like they do with The Finals. Your playerbase will decay and go to 10-20k, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably shit.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

At least I'm not a 24/7 shitposting schizo like you.

i was fucking around with some ziplines on Dam and found out that the tops of the water towers can spawn weapon crates and medical bags. I don't think there's any other way to get to the top of those towers without a zipline or snaphook though. Good spot to check for loot in a late spawn and assuming you carry traversal gear, i guess.

>>551298616
There's all kinds of gear on rooftops you "can't access". Bags, crates, etc. They are great spots to check in night raids/cold snap.

>>551298616
Oh, so you're bragging about finding some hidden loot spot, huh? Big fucking deal. You think you're some kind of genius for figuring out that water towers have crates? Newsflash, buddy: everyone and their fucking mother knows about that spot. It's not like you discovered the fucking Holy Grail or something.

And let me tell you, if you're relying on ziplines and snaphooks to get there, you're probably the kind of player who can't even handle a basic jump. It's like you're using training wheels on a fucking bicycle. "Oh, look at me, I found a spot!" Yeah, congrats, Sherlock. You're such a fucking pro.

You know what else is a good spot for loot? The fucking ground. Ever think of that? Sometimes, you just gotta get your hands dirty and actually play the game instead of being a lazy fuck and looking for shortcuts. But no, you're too busy being a fucking zipline cowboy, aren't you?

So, keep on swinging from your fucking ziplines and snapping your hooks, you fucking loot whore. Just don't be surprised when everyone else is already geared up and you're still trying to figure out how to get off the fucking water tower.

>>551296948
Oh, so you're asking about the fucking 6% scrappy materials, huh? Let me break it down for you, you dumbass. The 6% bonus comes into play at level 25 of the expedition. But here's the kicker: you won't see any fucking difference until you've done the expedition at least 2-3 times. It's like they're trolling you, saying, "Here's a tiny bonus, now go grind some more, you fucking pleb!"

You're basically wasting your time and energy for that measly 6% until you've put in the fucking work. It's like they're dangling a carrot in front of you, but you can't even reach it until you've run the fucking marathon. And by the time you get there, you'll be so fucking tired of grinding that you won't even care about the bonus.

So, buckle up, buttercup. You've got a long fucking road ahead of you if you want to see any real benefits from that 6% bonus. Might as well start grinding now, you fucking noob.

>>551298616
Can you get down from the towers without taking damage, assuming you're not using a zipline? Snaphooking off or trying to ledge grab and roll doesn't seem to work anywhere and you end up taking a bunch of damage.

Arc need to be more reactive to gunshots man it's insane. You shouldn't get rewarded for spotting a player who has arc near him, while you're in a crappy position, taking shots at him, and then the arc decides to chase him instead of coming after you the person shooting like crazy with a stitcher 1 from 50 yards away.

>>551288802

I still don't understand how anyone can like spaceport. There is literally nothing to do or loot on this map except 3 pvp hellholes and a few key rooms. SEC lockers used to be fun to hit them all, but now with it being giga nerfed there is no reason to ever come to this dogshit map. Yeah blue gate and dam also have a lot of open space, but there is usually a bunch of shit littered around like in little raider camps and there is interesting level geometry on those maps as well that makes traversing them not just a boring ass slog of sprinting in a straight line to find all the places looted by people who spawned closer.

It's the best map if you want to actually fight ARC

You’re peacefully looting when all of a sudden your raid is ended because someone just shot you in the back with a stitcher and killed you. Your completely unnecessary death and unwilling sacrifice of time is their source of entertainment and pleasure. How do you feel about that?

probably just going to get insulted but has anyone played with a handheld? i'm using my rog while i'm home for xmas. game runs great but aiming is fucking awful - i can't quickly or accurately get my crosshairs on anyone no matter what my sensitivity is. are there any settings i can set to make it any better?

Will future expedition bonuses stack? I really don't see myself resetting everything again for piddly 5% bonuses

>>551311412
skillpoints and stash is permanent, the temporary bonuses stack until you stop expeditioning up to an unknown point.

>>551311412
That's why I didn't do the expedition the first time. This game just came out and all it takes is teamwiping 2-3 times in a row with friends for me to start feeling the eco pain. Plus the skill tree blows so an extra 5 points to spend isn't worth it until Embark buffs skills.

ARC needs to be more threatening other than "woopsies don't aggro the rocketeer/leaper."

locked gate is once per 12 hrs, it has a window within that 12 hours when it can be rolled

the hidden bunker event on spaceport is similar
requires 4 locations to have a thing done across the map, and instantly opens the bunker way fucking down on the south side once all 4 have been hit

meaning anyone who was actually doing the puzzle gets fucked on the potential for loot

nothing in the game requires a wiki if you actually fucking explore the maps instead of bumrushing for red and yellow areas every single spawn and nothing else

>marathon comes out in 4 months
why does this bungie shill think we will play marathon because we are mad at arc raiders

>enemy I want to fight/farm just doesn't spawn this map run
It's remarkable how much this game wastes your time.

>>551313939
you're only allowed to be a pve chungus or a pvp chud in this general there is no in between the concept of pve with looting and the ever present threat of other players if the game were balanced a little better is beyond their comprehension

>>551281897
fortunate for those guys you're sniping that you're fucking blind huh

>>551314814
It truly is incredible. And you brought a kit in to fight the enemy so you can't just suicide to requeue and instead have to run to the nearest extract for that whole song and dance, but also oops you spawned late and the nearest open extract is across the map.

that's what I thought snitches would do based off the name, not just summon two or three small enemies if you let them live

>>551288802
Yeah after the wipe I thought

realistically probably the scrap yard or broken highway or whatever on dam where there are a shitload of cars and no players since nobody will bother you and nobody loots cars

So streamer obsessed retards are Russians hiding in a high end city praying they won’t be conscripted

How is it that when you aren't looking for something it shows up like 100 times. But when you are, it's never anywhere you look? Trying to get 3 comfy pillows, I can't count how many I picked up last expedition, but now that I need it for the scrappy upgrade, I haven't seen a single one. Literally, no one the entire time I've been playing since reset. Map doesn't matter, late or early spawn doesn't matter, if I kill people they don't have it, if I loot 100000 containers on every map it's never there.

What the fuck?

I swear to god the car thing is either a psy-op, or embark are raping me specifically

>>551316625
The game keeps track of all items you need for upgrades and spawns less of them once you need them

>>551316713
Night raid dam and search the cars and buses on the north end of the map by power generation specifically. You'll find at least gear and light bulb each time

>>551316820
It honestly must, I believe you even without proof. The amount of games I've played, places I've looted, and haven't seen a single one, there's just no way. Yes I get other players pick them up too, sure, but I am talking fresh spawn at the best possible places looting every single building, container, etc, and never seeing one. No way.
