We're in a big matriarch fight getting ready on Blue Gate, and he gets shot in the back by some random. The attacker repels down while the asshat screams bloody murder. He's revived and goes after his attacker and I go down too because curious. We explore and I get attacked by the guy we're hunting and while Im healing asshate downs me. So yeah the attacker was likely a retard looking for revenge instead of just using a mic like a sane person to explain who attacked first. I signed up for some pvp gping down there anyway but I at least rather die to the open attacker.

Yeah but whats stopping people from spamming fuse grenades. Having people drop in with 20 grenades and brining in bullshit is worse than torro meta. So unskilled.
>>
>>560766563
if you can counter grenades by just walking to a nearby corner then they are too weak for TPP
>>
>>560768485
Yeah but having T-nade meta of people doing nothing but spamming nades because they nuke you in such a short time is far more aids.
>>
>>560768810
just make sure that your shields stay intact to any degree unless you're standing dead center in the blast
75-70 damage should do that, which also means you can take heavy shields to tank 3 nades at full damage and even more if you put in effort into dodging.
as it currently stands the 2.5s fuse is just dogshit at its job, should be 1.75s or even 1.5s, but considering the bounciness the former is probably it.

>>
>>560773506
because there isn't, the only advantage medium gives is having better breakpoints against some specific weapons like anvil/toro, against virtually every other weapon an extra 0.15s of lifetime won't save you.
heavy shields are just a straight up meme because you can't wear the best augment and they slow you while giving you a miserable advantage without giving you better breakpoints unlike light -> medium.
>>
>>560774506
the meta was, is and (i hope not for long) will be survivor + mediums, especially now with the toro nerf, anyone saying otherwise is either coping or throwing.

As a new player I immediately figured out fabric was ghetto healing and I could craft real bandages in-match effortlessly with the one skill. My pretty sweaty friend didn't know this and started doing this when needed after he learned it from me.

toro isn't meta now, old man, anvils are for pve niggers, people actually rock purple shit now, alongside other automatics or high rof weapons like burletta, or renegades for long range wthich have the same stk against lights and mediums.
>extra 5% ms
taking cover/rotating faster has much more value than being able to tank an extra half a headshot or an extra 2 grazing bullets
besides, heavy shields also restrict augments massively, I have a much better chance of winning when I have an extra 2 stacks of additional utility up my ass.

>>560789485
retard-kun, if it takes you two seconds to take cover or three seconds to deploy defensive utility, an extra 0.15s makes no difference
the key point here being ACTIONABLE interaction times, which they are not regardless of what shield you are wearing, no matter what shield you're wearing you're still better off playing off of positioning, information and cover, meaning there's no discernible advantage to them outside of tanking a few extra grazing shots.

Sup brehs.
My first extraction shooter is marathon and i'm getting tired of just being a loot pinata + pvp faction rep for players better than me, i barely exfil one time out of ten.

I'm bad at videogames in general (i had a 37% winrate in overwatch and could never get above silver 2 in valorant)
Would arc be fun for me?

I dont mind the occasional pvp and the betrayal part of it, but just getting run at by cracked dudes from the other side of the map that dont even care to loot my body depresses me.

Is that common in marathon? My exfil rate in arc is majority successes but I just dabble in pvp.
>>
>>560869614
That sounds like a normal rate in Marathon for someone who isn't a jobless sweatlord. Marathon maps are notably smaller than Arc and they make sure to spawn everyone close enough together that you will have KOS PVP in the first 2 minutes pretty much guaranteed, unless someone purposely plays like a rat and avoids all contact, praying that there isn't someone camping exfil (75% chance there is). Exfil in Marathon is also out in the open, one time use, and no raider hatch equivalent. Multiple people/teams can technically exfil at the same place all at once but people would rather kill you and rush to loot you in the 10 second window.

There's a widespread theory that your loadout value adds some PVP weight to your matchmaking. Everyone seems to have the same anecdotal experience. Teams also seems to have this problem too imo where me and a friend can be peaceful solo but suddenly we're planted into 50/50 RAT lobbies when we squad up.

>Is the stitcher still a viable pvp gun?
yes it is but the pinks are clearly better. not opressive better, because of TTK you can still kill fairly easily with any weapon really, but if you both slide into each other same health and shield, bobcat / vulcano will mog their respective lower counterparts. as it should be.

>>560856027
Arc being third person means people have an easier time spotting you from covered/protected positions
The game also has a matchmaking algorithm that will put you in less aggressive lobbies if you are not aggressive, but no one is 100% sure how it works, it's still all speculation
If you play solo and get merked without firing back a bunch of times, you are mostly guaranteed to get into these "friendly" lobbies
If you play trios, you must always expect to always be fired upon
That's pretty much it
The people I play with are not very good because they do not behave tactically and don't communicate so we get pummeled a lot and it's tiring
So make sure you are playing with the right people or you will get burned out quick

>>561065219
All the people I play with are dad age, so there isn't a lot of that
Mostly just poor reflex action and thinking
For instance, one of the guys I play with runs ahead of the team, doesn't mention or talk about what he's doing or why and doesn't mark or mention enemy positions
So he goes down immediately all the time and now the team is instantly on the backfoot
Asking them to play differently and more carefully falls on deaf ears
They still complain when they get killed in 0.1 seconds though
It gets old quick
>>
I don't think I'd mind PVP as much if it wasn't egregiously filled with some of the most obviously brown sub-humans with less than an IQ. It's not hard to down them even if they get a drop on you in 1v1 and they're turbo-aggressive pavement apes who try to shoot you from across the map the second they see you so there's rarely an "ambush" happening. They'd basically just be bots if not for the break in silence that comes when you down them for your ears to be filled with the grunts and begrudges of subhuman low self-esteem, acting as if it's not their fault you blew their head clean off after they started shooting you from 7000 meters away the second you came into their vision, and you're actually the villain of the situation for not letting them just kill you in a retarded lazy ignorant way. That's literally the only part that bothers me, and makes me disrespect these people so much despite never having really been even inconvenienced by them beyond having to waste more of my ammo that could be used fighting some high intelligence brainiac in a cat-and-mouse chase around the entire map.

It's just sludge ghetto trash behavior and mindset that disgusts me to see presented into my life even if just through a game.

They should add mutants or something to the game, a second enemy variety that makes it harder to camp around inside a building because they'll wander around from indoor section to indoor section and take moments to hide in corners/under stairs/on ceilings.

They cultivated an audience of carebear PvEfags that think even engaging with the PvP aspect of the PvPvE game is tantamount to griefing and who will literally just let people kill them because they're scared of increasing their chances of getting into PvP lobbies. They'd have to actually acknowledge that PvP is part of the game and accept fault to have any chance of realizing when they're falling for obvious traps and making themselves easy targets.
>>
>>561284036
PvE lobby is a godsend for a tired worker and father like me (yes exactly like the meme). I get to enjoy some nice pve with the occasianal team up with randos. However Im aware that someone might get frisky and the light tension is enjoyable.

Thought about getting this game but I don't know. Was looking at the steam discussion forum and it looks like some r-edditor infestation.
If people care so much about 'pve' and 'pvp' differences they should probably play something like Animal Crossing instead.

https://arcraiders.com/news/patch-notes-1-21-0
BIG update
Patch 1.21.0 is rolling out on all platforms. Please restart your game to download.

New Raider Tool.
New Backpack set.
Fixed a crash that would sometimes occur with DirectX 11.
Fixed an issue where players could get stuck inside the Harvester and between destroyed ARC parts.
Fixed an issue where ARC would spawn inside geometry.
Fixed an exploit that allowed players to walk through walls while picking up a Fuel Cell or Field Crate.

The team is hard at work getting the Flashpoint update ready for next week, and we’re excited for you to dive into the new content.

We’ve also seen some questions about the size of our weekly patches, so to clarify: these updates are focused on smaller quality-of-life improvements and store rotations. Our larger, more content-heavy updates are currently planned for the end of each month.

You have to be DEEP into the low aggression lobbies. You tourist think you can just get there quickly but you literally need to keep dying not just do a bunch of no shooting. Plus as someone else has mentioned using high value equipment boost you up a level in aggression.

>>561386521
Because I'm not trying to do pvp when it happens. Why would I Want to pvp when I have my level 4 hullcracker or jupiter against someone using nearly broken green guns? I'm busy farming and you are bothering me. I don't want what you have and it's a lose lose for me. Because EVEN if I win I don't get anything from it besides being sent to more hostile lobbies for a while. which further wastes my time.

It probably works just like reverse boosting did back in the day in CoD. eg. before they patched it, your own suicides even counted.

Shut the fuck up. There are no precautions because anyone can easily shoot you in the back and you can't stop them. There's always some way to get around anything you come up with. It's griefing plain and simple.

When Arc gets a new map, I'll quickly load in, loot a box, extract in 2 mins, without damaging players(doing this for 20 mins).
Then, I'll run around, jumping in people's face, if they don't shoot me, I'll let Arc shoot me. I will not press "Surrender", I'll let the timer run out, to die. So the ABMM algorithm does not detect that I'm dying intentionally.(All together is a 45min to 1 hour reverse boosting session).
Then, I will camp extract in multiple friendly lobbies.

All day, every day, I will kill extracting players in PvE loobies.

Literally HOW are you supposed to take out anything bigger than a wasp without announcing to the whole map "LOOK OVER HERE! I'M FIGHTING SOMETHING VALUABLE AND I HAVE VALUABLE GEAR TO FIGHT IT WITH! COME GET ME!" unless you're using some basic weapon like a default ferro with 200 rounds over the span of 15 minutes, but even then all those shots are eventually going to draw in pvp goons like flies on shit.

Has no idea how the algorithm works and is memeing. I have put in 60 hours and aside from my very first placement match, not seen a single person attack anyone else. If someone engages a high priority target or is pinned down, others WILL come to assist them. If someone sees a downed player, they WILL defib them and give them meds.

Solos are about speed, information and being in the right place and the right time. Nuke, loot n' scoot every heavy arc, for queen/martiarch resort to stripping a leg or three and extracting discretely.
Everything can be killed in less than 30 seconds and looted in a pair of minutes tops with proper tools. Forget your hullcrackers and jupiters, explosives are your friend.
Hell, even queens are killable in 3 minutes with a random that keeps the aggro for you while you do the thing, although you'd probably want to wait till it's very late in the raid because any interference there is usually a death sentence.

This is fake or not current based entirely upon my own anectodal evidence also it reads like copebear propaganda
>>
>>561448407
Every arc has a main health pool and parts with specific damage modifiers that feed into the main pool when you damage them. Explosions deal damage to parts based on LoS, so if you put a deadline in a spot where multiple bodyparts meet, you get giga damage.
Bastions have 2k HP, but the deadline has 1k, but still oneshots them if places correctly, for the reasons stated above.
Also the entire reason you can 2-WP a Bastion by curving the mini-rockets into the back, as there are multiple bodyparts.

Why do you pvp fags keep acting like we pve players have to deal with you? We live in segregated communities.

PvP players stay on PvP servers and PvE players stay in full friendly lobbies. Why should I care about what you think or say? It doesn't matter because you'll never be in my games.

But you do have to deal with me. You know when you were in a group with 6 friendlies and someone's shield breaks and everyone panics and it turns into a massacre? Yeah that was me with my hairpin and one bullet in the corner and my friendliness score stays at max because I heal and defib people sometimes.

We are right next to you and intentionally trapping you in that room with the shredders and "forgot" to bring a defib. You just have the situational awareness and trust of insects.

>Don't shoot, because someone will come help me

No. As a PvE player it depends on what I have on me if I'll fight back and also how likely am I to put up a good fight. Not only that it could be a situation where I won't fight back no matter what because of a map condition that I need.

Basically it's not worth being sent to PvP servers if I have a limited time to do PvE runs on limited map. Like let's say I need to do a trial that's best done on night raid Stella. There's no reason to fight back and kill you and then have to worry about working myself back into pve lobbies.

PvP players don't have to take such things into consideration.

You should be using nades/explosives for big game, guns are for small game pvp. And small arc should be 2-3 shots well placed outside maybe more for firefly/comet.

I'm going to say it.
The whole idea of rampant PvP between what is essentially the human resistance in Terminator is fucking retarded.
I could understand it if it were faction based, if there were rival speranza equivalents in competition for the same limited resources in post apocalyptic Cold war detente, but everybody going back to the same mutual aid driven underground city after gleefully murdering each other on sight for scrap metal, is fucking dumb.

>Hey that guy is distracted trying to fight the giant murder machine that wants to exterminate all human life. Now's the perfect time to shoot him in the back and steal his pipegun!
Come on bro. It's dumb. Yeah I get it. It's a game.
It's still a blatant example of ludonarrative dissonance

>>
>>561486848
read the post chain, its talking about how they added PvP as an afterthought and how it isn't cohesive with the lore, not whether it was a good or bad idea

it's good they added it, but people clearly don't care for the actual "pvp"
but having other players varies up your raid every time anyway
>oops someone already looted this area
>guess I'll loot somewhere else
>oh I need to hunt some arc
>that guy already killed it dang
or
>oh shit that guy is fighting arc
>I want to join him

it's not the "PvP" that is making this game successful, it's the fun PvE with "PvP aspects" like scarce resources or fighting arc with someone, I'm sure for some people the potential for player vs player to happen also helps, but that clearly isn't the main draw keeping people playing the game when you have threads full of posts going
>yea I just let them full kill me and don't fight back so I can load up another friendly raid without PvP
>>
>>561487486
It's not merely "aspects", just because this extraction shooter decided to develop PvE more than the others it doesn't mean that the PvP is somehow a lesser element in the grand scheme of mechanics.

ABMM/PvE lobbies are almost entirely retard containment for people that do not wish to understand or learn the mechanics or simply uninvested people that come over to drool over a can of beer while doing so.
Most PvP shooters fall into the "git gud" category thus alienating a good chunk of exploitable market.
Everything that is "good gameplay" is gatekept by skill because at some point you'll be forced to learn what it is that you are doing, hell even some PvE games failed to establish anything of mechanical significance and catered to keep themselves afloat (HD2 lmao).

It is somewhat understandable though why people don't like it as much, because the time/action ratio is skewed extremely hard in extraction shooters where investment is large and losses are lightning fast; it also doesn't help that the lethality differences between ark/players are that different.

TLDR; just increase the fucking ttk

If I were Embark, and this is just me being an idea guy.
If I were Embark, I would attach a rudimentary history flag system to all weapons that tracks if the player using it is killed by players or by the environment. This way the system can differentiate between opportunistic and predatory looting behavior. Then it would have the system track if that weapon is sold or used to kill players, with a report rate tied to the rarity of the weapon. Common weapons are very unlikely to trigger a report, rare weapons are more likely to but it's still not guaranteed. After enough flags the system then tags the player as a primarily predatory PVP player, and they are no longer allowed to use regular extract points. This isn't to punish them, it's a game mechanic. They can either extract through raider hatches or socially engineer their way back to speranza by waiting for some other raider to activate the extract point and extract with them. PvP players who planned ahead and had access to a hatch key to extract via raider hatch will gain access to the "slum tunnels" of speranza which grant access to their own unique merchants who offer unique items and quests available only to PvP players. In order to regain access to the standard extract methods, the PvP player has to pay some sort of exorbitant bribe that scales with player level to buy a "fake ID" that resets their aggression level and restarts the process.
Thank you for listening to my tedtalk.

I haven't installed Arc Raiders yet, only bought it now. But in any case I'm assuming that the matchmaking is just some simple sbmm sort of thing. If you do badly, you'll end up in the retard lobbies and if you are mid you are where everyone else is at.
It's probably nothing more complex than that.
And with a system like this it's prone to abuse, some seek to reverse boost and after a while when they get a tard lobby they'll go berserk.

I like my mixed or PvP lobbies because I actually stealth around, or fight for my loot, sometimes I lose shit but it's 10x more fun than just mouthbreathing at my PC opening up drawers at the same "loot" zone for 4 hours straight

There's better third person games, mechanically. Arc is clunky, this is why the sissies are saying "PvP feels out of plays", the controls and mechanics are indie-tier. The game looks like triple A(AAA), but plays like an indie title. Janky as fuck.

Rampant PvP.
There will always be maniacs and I prefer games that allow friendly fire. My issue is with games that essentially socially engineer PvP through prisoners dilemma game design.

In reality, maniacs like you would either be rooted out from the community you parasite off of,or you would have to work very hard to maintain a low profile and avoid attracting attention to your anti-social traits.

PVP was not tacked on as an afterthought, it was always there and the Devs even noted that the audience for the game ended up being far less aggressive than testing.

They are excited for it because they are always running free or extremely cheap kits from horrific levels of gear fear and are surrounded by people doing the same thing. So when you get someone who oopsies into their matchmaking with blues or god forbid pinks it's actually a unicorn loot pinata.

Her runs are absolute chaos, she can't concentrate on one goal.
Most runs are under 10min.
She tried out pvp but didn't like it.
She run s around playing the flute, talking shit with other players.
She has no fear of losing her loadout, me, I have huge fear of that.
She used to run around with a Hullcracker oneshoting small ARC.
She has a large collection of trinkets.

matchmaking is so funny in this. You can go on a serial killing spree for 10 matches in a row but as long as you take like an 8 hour break or so, the first match back the system will put you in a mixed/neutral lobby. You can tell you're in them because everyone always cries when you down them kek

Your insecurity checks out. Friend is just bloodthirsty so it's 100% PVP with him. I play the game properly when solo. Got a nice gun? Mine now. Get some friends loser.

showstoppers are almost useless 1v1. They can put some psychological pressure on your opponent and give you about 1 second of breathing room to start shooting though.

What is with people keep coming over to where I am when I'm shooting at the queen? why not go to your own area and shoot from there?

I'm tired of these faggots running to where I am then trying to loot the shit I used my hull cracker to knock off of the queen/matriarch. BUT if I kill your ass after trying to steal my loots I'm the RAT?

FUCK OFF

TOTAL STREAMNIGGER DEATH
>>
>>561655709
Chungustards are in a hell of their own creation, can't even kill welfare niggers for stealing your hard earned loot otherwise you'll summon a swarm of leddit sheriffs
>>
>>561655709
devs are retarded and basically incentivized that by making the queen drop less loot because apparently people were going in, breaking off all her leg armor, getting those cores, and then leaving
(I never saw this, but I guess it happened enough for Devs to take note)

so you have to be out in the middle of a field, hope you don't get aggroed by anything, shoot a leg off, loot it, then run away
I guess???

because nobody leaves the leg pieces for after she's dead, its pretty "meta" that when you see leg armor fall off everyone runs for it

hoping they update it to have a lot more lootable areas AFTER you kill it to encourage working together, but they haven't said anything
>>

Yeah but why are you running over to some shit you didn't even shoot at? If these fags loot my shit I'm killing them.

If I get killed for protecting my loot then I'm going to loot goblin queen cores to make my money back.
>>
>>561651832
I think it's great for quick matchmaking. Eliminating downtime between matches encourages people to play more and so on.
I wouldn't want to wait 10 minutes just to get into a raid like Tarkov or something.
>>
>>561665113
I agree, its a little fucked
Luckily there are some nice people, but otherwise doing queen/matriarch and not preparing to "rat" your own cores off the legs, just doesn't feel worth it
Like you said, can't even protect the leg you knocked off because everyone will become hostile, so you have to let some fag who was hiding for 10 minutes take it
I've just been queueing other stuff like hurricane

Or if you get a really nice lobby and just needed 1 of the cores, you can sometimes ask at the end, was in a match where one guy was going
>SUCH FUCKING BULLSHIT I SHOT OFF SO MUCH ARMOR AND THERE WERE NO CORES
>I WASTED SO MUCH MONEY
and then this middle eastern guy comes on mic
>hey buddy, buddy, wait buddy
>goes up to the guy
>drops him a few cores
>"Oh shit... thanks man, I only need 1, but seriously thanks"

as a beginner what should i concentrate on? expanding my stash? quests?

i don't like to watch youtube guides, which is the best early weapon against the drones? handgun?

Also Rattler is good alrounder.

thanks. i'm doing small routes for now, i'm in the friendly lobbies until i get my bearings.
already upgraded my stash to 232 something. now it is costing too much at this point so that's that.
>>
>>561670565
Rattler as a general allrounder, not great not terrible
Ferro is dirt cheap and easy to upgrade + you can buy a LV4 one from the gun chick
Hairpin is a bit of a meme pick but i like it to plink the small arc
>>561673386
if money is a problem run either Buried city or Stella Montis, the former is packed full of trinkets and the latter's exclusive loot sells at 3k a pop and that recycles into useful materials

I wonder what their real roadmap is.
I know they have created everything for at least 1 year in advance because this is 'gaas' as much as Destiny 2 was.
In terms of meaningful gameplay. This game is popular because it is a streamer bait - Tim the Tatman and his auto-target friends can team up and shit up servers and this brings more money because retards are watching them.

>>561696727
unfortunately a side effect of the split lobbies
the PvE lobbies are what keeps this games population up
you could kill people and get put in PvP lobbies, but it's almost so much PvP its not fun

it sounds gay, but I like "dueling"
wher you find another raider and ask to duel them, and even place a defib on the ground for the winnter to use on the loser
and then you go on your way
sometimes thats enought "hostiliity" to put you in more hostile lobbies, but not complete hostile ones
otherwise people say trios is great for PvP?
that's all the advice I got though, I don't pvp often

This game's maps don't seem to be made for PvP anyway. The scale of everything is too large.

>>
>>561700683
Seems quite intentional to me. Both in terms of the setting and gameplay features.
>>
>>561701684
apparently the game was full pve in development, but that got boring and they added pvp
>>
>>561699424
It's so that there are technically reasons to use any weapon in certain situations. Like how you have to be stupid or trolling to pull out an Osprey on Stella without planning to be in certain spots specifically, compared Gate where it's viable for 85% of the map.

>>561701785
There was already PVP while it was early in development testing.

"In this video, members of the ARC Raiders dev team detail the choice to add PvP gameplay deep into the game's development cycle after coming to the conclusion that PvE wouldn't provide a sustainable gameplay loop."

>>561704208
That doesn't really change what I said. They basically reached the beta stage for the earlier coop version of the game and then went back to basics to shift the entire game into a different genre. PVP isn't something that was just tacked onto the game a month before release.

Why are you trying to create an argument where there isn't one and legitimately trying to say they meant they tacked pvp onto the game right before release when it also came with sweeping changes to the game both technical and gameplay wise?
>>
>>561705409
sorry I was just posting with someone really hostile in another thread

basically we're both right, and I wasn't trying to say they tacked PvP on right before release, just that it came later in development probably after all the maps were made and all the NPCS and all the other systems in place in the game
never once stated "yea 1 week before release they added PvP, crazy right!"

I'm just saying, the game was obviously developed and designed for PvE in mind first, with PvP only brought in later in development (not a month before release)

you're like putting words in my posts and assuming "tacked on" means "they added it 2 weeks before the game came out" for some reason

dead game. It's not the pvp btw, it's the AI. It's atrocious

I just had an ARC zero in on me out of nowhere, wouldn't leave me alone no matter how long I hid, I finally shot back and was immediately 3rd partied. The guy healed up and knocked me out all while the same exact Arc that had been riding my dick for a few minutes just stared at him and somehow didn't even notice him. It's just so silly. Arc will randomly ignore players but won't leave others alone. Totally ruins the game - they kept trying to balance their little "PvE and PvP at the same time" project, but they've dropped the ball to the point where it's anti-fun

I want to be an asshole and kill everyone but I'm too nice to do so. especially when they have a mic cuz I'll know I"ll feel like trash when they inevitably berate me

Wait until people get into trains then shoot them. This way you'll quickly enter the rat lobbies where it's a ffa.

Is it possible to run into duos in solo lobbies?
I just had a bizarre experience
>running up to an extract that a guy just activated
>asks if I want to extract with him so he waits
>elevator opens
>another guy appears
>I walk in and start activating
>first guy opens fire on me
>I run
>second guy chases me and downs me
>hear them talking to each other as they finish me
Kind of unfair to put me in a lobby with duos and I can't do shit
>>
>>561861126
similar experiences few weeks ago that just makes me confused and question if solos has a chance to be put in duo lobbies
>after Queen in Blue Gate
>4 of us head to extract together
>realized its closed upon arrival and head to the nearest
>as we were leaving 2 of them suddenly gun us down while calling us rats
genuinely ??? I don't get it. yes they both won but why'd they team up? were they duos? why on our way to the other extract and not earlier when there were a better opportunity? the fuck they calling us rats for? incase other ppl spot them or to piss us off? and most of all why in general? it always struck me odd that you'll hang around with someone for a while then all of a sudden they turn on you and almost never when you're at your most vulnerable, initiate combat already what are you doing playing the wait game for?

>>561862185
I think its the other way around, I've had duo's shoved into my solo lobbies
Depending on what server you're on, there might not be enough people for filling a solo match quickly, so it throws you into duos?
Only other thing I can think of is people will queue at the same time, and then team up once in the same game together, but I haven't encountered that personally
>>
>>561846395
To be fair getting dragged back out of the tunnel by the flamethrower after the guy has completely disappeared into the darkness was pretty bullshit.
>>
>>561862185
>>2 of them suddenly gun us down while calling us rats
this is literally what happened when I was knocked
the dudes kept going OH WOW DUDE WHY'D YOU SHOOT US, YOU RAT
absolutely bizarre behavior

>>560760204
Good morning, new to the game for all of a week, and just wanted to clear something up: I was chatting with a friendly raider as they hopped out of a raider hatch, but right before they hopped in they said my raider was alloy. I have no idea what they mean, and Google search is turning nothing up. Any ideas? The only thing I can think of is maybe my outfit has some shiney bits on it, like an alloy metal?
>>
>>561872279
Not aynthing meaningful. Maybe he was just a jeet.

Do you play a girl raider?
Alloy or however its spelled, is that redhead chick from Horizons or w/e its called
>>
>>561874359
Huh, no idea.
>>561874441
I do, but she's based on a dead by daylight character named Meg Thomas. I guess that must be the answer, never played that game so that makes the most sense. Guy said it right as he was leaving so I was just stumped. Ty fo the assist, anon.

>kill a rocketeer with a wolfpack after hearing it shoot somewhere else
>duo comes up and asks for the driver
>already have it, but say yes if they can find it in the part since my buddy is a bit away and I don't want to get ratted
>my buddy shows up and I tell him we gotta go
>as we're running we hear in prox chat that they realize I took it
It's my fucking wolfpack that I used. Why the fuck do you think you should get the driver? I also got lit up a bit before I threw it.
>>
>>561877823
Probably wanted it for his workbench and likely didn't know it costs one to make one
Usually people are pretty reasonable, but I'll sometimes get someone who goes
>"hey could I get the rocketeer driver, I need it for a quest"
and just say go for it, I've gotten pretty good at killing Rocketeers with my anvil now, also hornet drivers make it easy too if you can get a good angle to throw it
>>
After playing this for ~15 hours, I still feel like I don't have any control over the maps. I don't know what is causing this maybe it's the maze like nature of them or something.
>>
>>561879698
it takes a little exploring, I just queued and ran around checking out places while new
eventually you kind of figure it out, everything has landmarks that make the place pretty readable without even opening a map

>one guy attacks a rocketeer with a light ammo or medium ammo gun. It's a grey weapon. Can't remember which one
>He does that as it's above me
>I dodge the rockets
>Aggro on me
>I do 95% of the damage and kill it
> I use a couple grenades and shoot it with an anvil
>Loot it
>He comes closer and says: dude, you saw that I attacked it first, give me the driver. Wtf, man? Why are you doing this
He would've never killed it on his own. Is what I told him. These people..
>>
>>561889129
maybe its lower playercount
usually everyone is so cool in mine, but I guess that's half on me
>do a few shots on bombadier
>kill it
>run up
>other guy goes
>"Hey I killed it most of the way, cool if I loot most of it?"
>just reply "go ahead man, I just wanted to help out, I'll probably grab the scraps after"
but I guess someone else would go
>but I'm the one who killed it!!!!

After 200 hours I've got a good grasp over Stella Montis, Dam Battlegrounds and Blue Gate but still don't know much about Buried City nor about Spaceport.
>>
>>561896303
Stella has great layouts to figure out where to go as you walk but the actual map in the UI is bullshit.
>>
>>561896303
Buried city is the go to map outside of stella if you want to improve at pvp with your friends.
It's very easy to get third partied in that map so you learn to always stay sharp and how to reset. Some situations are completely unwinnable though, got recently pinched by 3 different teams.

Probably easier in a pvp lobby because everybody is going to be allergic to the open (mine) areas and probably not even doing it to begin with.
>>
>>561906065
pretty much
and same
I was able to do 3 and left it at 900 points
