woo I guess>>560760204I'll try and take a rocketeer clip if I happen to kill anotherit's pretty easy, I just shoot one engine until it falls offthen it either kills itself, or I blow up the other engine/it dies
>>561909972meant to reply to this guy >>561908295
>>561909972I saw clips of someone using the anvil splitter to knock them into things so I guess that attachment isn't completely useless
>>561911156yea that's a good one for it, everyone was saying it sucks for PvP, I'm pretty sure it's for ArcI saw one guy using it to make the rocketeer miss its rockets
>>561911156is there a certain map you encounter them on, I'll try and do my strategy and clip it when I get a chance
>>561843362I'm still mad about this. Like, if I had pushed with my buddy, we would have won. But then they won, the dude I downed and got revived called my buddy a nigger and his partner was a jerk off to me
the only arc that's killed me the last few months is the firefly, I hate that piece of fucking shit so God damn much it's the most unfun shit
>>561916663the tip I head is to crcuch, apparently can 1 shot the front rotors if you hit them from the bottom, haven't tried it myself I usually avoid them or get surprised by them and have to unload my anvil
>>561916663I just throw 2 seekers at it and that always kills it.
>>561916897>>561917247will try these thanks raiders
>trying to get matriarch cores for the last part of the project>have gone through all my launcher ammo and explosive compound to get 2 of the 3On the plus side leveled up like 6 times in 3 hours but man its expensive.
>find buses in Dam Battlegrounds like 5 separate matches>no rusted gearsI just want my level 3 gunsmith. Jesus christ. I also can't find the smoke grenade blueprint to save my life. It's insane.
I cant believe marathon actually killed us
>>561926630The only thing Marathon killed is Bungie.
>>561926630the shit posters left for marathon which is a good thing
>>561925907I can't find one more sentinel core
>>561931167arc couriersif you havent already been searching those of course
>>561926630I dont think this will kill anything other than bungie...
>might accidentally get Hot ShotI hope its not too hard to keep rank, but if so it's whateverAlso half expecting to wake up tomorrow and only +1 promoted
>>561934247It's not hard this early on. Top 60 of the 100 players keep hotshot and I didn't go super crazy this week. All solo. #60 is at 60k
A marathon chad teased me for being a weenie
>>561939561I want someone to tease my weenie
I've accepted that I'm not meant to be able to craft anvils this time. good thing they're common in security lockers
>>561949419Anvil BPs are being sold for like 200 seeds bro
>>561926630Nintendo won. Marathon and arc raiders lost
isnt /vm/ more dead
oops>>561964138I heard it was for slow generals like this?
damn, how is this general more dead than generals with much lower player countshows the other exfil game generals doing
>>561965780https://youtube.com/shorts/ilunO6HZCI8?si=wV6YbqLfOyXsFMnI
>>561965780arc is PvE focused and barely an "extraction shooter"so its one of those games thats pretty much solved and anything you have a question for you can google/youtube at this pointseems like all the PvP enjoyers are in Marathon general now
>>561965780Too busy watching peanut play to post.
>>561965906so only way this game wont ack is to focus on pvp?
>>561966243the game is fine broits fun and everyone is playing it, I'm playing it right now while replying to you, and we should be getting an update tomorrow that everyone (ingame) is hyped forironically Marathon is getting closer and closer to death while flying through threadsthread life is not an indicator of a games life
>>561966243in some shape or form yes because normies are allergic to complex and difficult PvE (they will whine until everything gets nerfed and neutered), which means PvE gets solved VERY fast and is not in any way a retention anchor, PvP manages to dodge this mentality but also alienates casuals because they have a skill issue
>>561966243PvP would kill this game
>>561949665I'm too lazy and paranoid to deal with that. I'll stick to using a venator
>>561949419>>561949665>>561966678just a reminder you can buy 3 daily at the storeafter doing 2 expeditions, seems like the only blueprints I really need are>survivor>silencer I>seeker grenademaybe wolfpackotherwise>can buy blue shields>can buy anvils>can buy "heavy gun parts"
>>561966678>paranoidseed fault is free, and takes you 2 runs ~8 minutes each for 300+ seeds.also you can just follow the common trading procedure>make distance>drop items>ping the items to confirm>swap sides>pick up your goods
>>561966675retard
>>561966797>>silencer Isilencer II*>>561966823NTA but sometimes dealing with other people is just fucking annoying>oh cool this guy is selling Geiger Counters>I'll buy one>"Yo dude, I'll trade you 300 seeds for a Geiger Counter">no response for 15 minutes>wtf I want to go do other shit>no response for 30 minutes>bro this is so fucking gay>check when he listed>35 minutes ago>COMMEEE ONNN>45 minutes pass>"Yeah, lets do it accept the trade">DUDE IVE BEEN SITTING HERE WAITING FOR YOU TO RESPONDalso if you're not in the trading discords, or have a metaforge account already set up, that's just more hurdles that most people already don't want to jump through
>>561966916a focus on PvP would kill this game*
>>561967165fair
>>561967196I kind of wouldn't mind if they added a deathmatch mode or something
>>561967254maybe an arena?although it's still pretty unsustainable, the whole point is to fight for loot, not just fight for the sake of it.but at the same time loot also feels too abundant, kinda wish there was a hard requirement to cooperate for good loot (like those multiple button doors), because as it stands looting a nearby dump is more efficient and "co-op" is mostly for looks.
>>561967463yea I'm hoping they lean into it more, funnily enough watching Marathon, Arc solved one problem, that when you're looting something, only you can loot itIn Marathon saw Peanut looting something just for Cloakzy to run up and take it allI do hope they look at the >reddit suggestions, that one where the queen dies and turns into 10 surveyors everyone can hunt down is still one of my favorite ideasSame with that door thing, like its cool they added it, but I guess the loot isn't that great because I never hear anyone doing it, in fact I saw some sloptuber going>yea just go here to the puzzle room and theres a guaranteed gear or industrial battery everytime since its required to solve the puzzle
>>561967757my perfect game loop would probably be>ally into small groups because you want good loot (co-op PvE)>compete against other gankers/groups trying to do the same thing for that loot (PvP) you just have to make sure that the loot in those co-op spots is enough to satisfy the same amount of people it requires to complete
>>561968060that would be good, just hard to incentivize but I was brainstorming a little how it would work>queue in solo or group>meet other raiders>join their party>the party has a party limit>once you're in the party you're locked in>other raiders can form parties too>boss with enough loot for just 1 big party to share>thats how you get big party vs big partybut knowing arc raiders, even that might turn into "hey lets just be friendly and split the loot, we can kill Big Arc Boss 5x during this hour instead of fighting each other and only killing it 2x"
>>561949665What do you mean? Like on a third party website, or is there an auction house I don't know about.
>>561978174NTA but people have been using metaforge to tradhttps://metaforge.app/arc-raiders/market?item_id=anvil-recipe&listing_type=sell&trade_type=seed
>someone sent this to Ninja
>>561967118I've done like 20 trades and that is not how most of them go at all. If you don't get a quick response just message another seller.>or have a metaforge account already set up, that's just more hurdles that most people already don't want to jump throughI'm just giving a solution to the complaints about missing BPs, If you don't want to do it then don't do it, but it's piss easy to do. You make it sound like it's this huge pain in the ass but it's really not.
>streamer did thingno one cares
>>561982613Yeah that's probably on me, I need to be less patient with peopleand I was just explaining why someone might not do it, yea it easy, but if that guy is like me>I don't want to spend x amount of time doing this>I got work in 2 hoursbut if you got the free time then yea, no downside not to

Pew Pew
>>561983706I posted too soon >>561983794
New guns
>New map conditionARC OPERATION: CLOSE SCRUTINYWhat’s that? Fast descent, controlled landing… a Probe? Too large. Seems to stay put, no clear signs of aggression. Well, not from the object anyway. The ARC patrols accompanying it are unprecedented. Celeste calls it the Assessor. She wants to know what it’s doing, Raiders want whatever it’s holding… two birds, one stone. ARC Operations are a new type of major map condition, and Close Scrutiny is certainly not for the faint-of-heart. There’s less loot available around the map, but who knows what riches lie within the ARC Assessor? Bring your best gear, and ready up for a fight.
>>561983508>When crafting, Raiders will now be able to fulfill missing materials directly, reducing time jumping between tabs. When materials are missing, Raiders will be presented with a list of available sources, letting you recycle, refine, or purchase in a single window. LETS GOOOO

>>561987180shut up
is the osprey good or merely situational?same question for the torrente
>>561988137Osprey is good for fighting from across the Map.Torrente will kill just about any other gun in cqc. Even before Toro nerfs, if you had a Toro you did NOT want to run into a torrente.
>>561925341Yesterday was total bullshit, went hunting the matriach and it didn't drop any matriach cores even on the freshest metal parts.
>Rocketeer but with lasersGreat, another obnoxious flying ARC. How about some interesting big ARC like Barons or that laser tower thing instead of another flying shit?
>new ARC is just a rocketeer with a queen laserincredible, thank you embark
>watching Valliate>"remember if you want to do solo vs squads you have to turn it off and then turn it on again for it to work"OHHHHHHHH
>>561978751and ninja's going to profit from the free content farm and topic discussion.
>>561990591Nigger, what other options are there? Either flying, walking, or rolling enemies. Now pick a gun type, flame, energy, bullet, bomb? Any new ARC they put out people will just say "so it's just x with y"
damn pretty hype for the update. quick crafting, new guns, new arc is a lazy design but whatever.
>>561983508>You can feed scrappy to boost him What an update... Why have that on the road map? That's not worth mentioning at all
Can you finally have things land inside your loadout when you craft something?
>>561997556>ark that kites you with traps>ark that picks you up and drops you from a high place>ark that slams itself into you>ark that jams your weaponry/blocks your weapon usagefuck you
No matter how many enemies they add to this game, I'll never forgive them for adding the firefly.
>>562002267This but Comet.
>>561997880They made it so he can gather specific stuff, it's actually goated
>>561984000>PVP encouraged game modeI'm not against this necessarily, but you know for a fact it's going to have people just camping extract hoping for the big ticket items or even just to take whatever the ambushed team thought was valuable enough PVP loot to bring.
Okay which one of you posted the /v/ thread?
>>562003332And that's a good thingGame needs that tension and shakeup
>>562003656>And that's a good thingCamping extract is so fucking boring. Ghost people on their way to extract and gun them down after they call it at least.
>>561930737streamfags cancer is also gone
>>562002634They both have fucked this game for me, but my last 5 deaths have been exclusively because of fireflies. I thought I would be fine after the tips last night, but after getting dunked on by one at 3am during trial resets I stand by my statement that additional new enemies have all been terrible additions.I'm bitching but I also just finished the last of my 2nd expedition requirements.
>>562001191all garbage ideas
>>562004876>pop but big gooddiy faggot
I'm so happy right now, my wife is away for the week in Jamaica with her girlfriends and I can play as long as I want! She just leaves me on read when I text her so I can really focus on the game.

>>562006261Wow, you're very smart anon! You got the joke! But I think you failed to realize it was a joke.
>>561988137Osprey isnt great against most ARC unless youre good at hitting from max distance or have good cover. Its fun to pop people running around the rooftops on Buried City from the hills though. Reload time is probably the slowest in the game that I know of.
>>562007917>hillswhat part of the map is it, south east?
If you have stella montis keys nows the time to use them because stella is fucking cleared. Every single shredder wiped out.

I am telling you, for indoors, they need to add bipedal robots that have guns and push you.
>>562013367Yeah but bigger between a tick and the leaper. Something tha barely fits through a door that'd be scary at night stomping around but isn't much more difficult to wreck then a fireball or less than a hornet.
>>562011387Queen but minigun and spawns groups of enemiesHornet but FPV_drone_footage.mp4Bulwark but 2 more guns mounted on the sidesMatriarch but Super Bombardier and has armored spotter drones hovering around the entire map to laze in stronger AOE missile strikes that will 1-tap light shields in vicious prejudice against free kitsBig Snitch that calls in 2 RocketeersTick that burrows and hops out like a face hugger, tiny explosion on impact with somethingRocketeer but big Firefly
What's the best way to make money since they nerfed Energy Clips? I just want to do my expedition prep and stop playing until reset.

I can't find the anvil or beretta blueprints and I keep hording guns.Also what's the cheapest loadout I can use to get these fucking leaper parts
>>562026675idk how many bullets, but I usually kill my leapers b just shooting it with an anvil until it dies
>>562026675>beretta blueprintsIt's a quest reward, you can't find it.
>>562026675>Also what's the cheapest loadout I can use to get these fucking leaper parts2 blaze nades try to get it stuck in a door. Blaze nades are really good for big enemies for how cheap they are btw.

>>562032670is there any way they can make battles last longer than 3 seconds?
>>562033669that's why I always check. everyone assumes the good spots are empty if they aren't there at round start
>>562034292why do people care how popular the game is? Its not going anywhere and they have made hundreds of millions if not a billion already, surely? Perhaps its a result of all this live service shit combined with not actually owning your games so they can just be taken away at some point, in theory.
taxi2g just slammed a team as solo with an anvil, nasty work
Should I try this game, marathon is my only extraction shooter experience but people there are shoot on sight. I just wanna collect stuff...>>562042149>>562041612>>562039793
>>562042470there's basically a karma based match matching in arc raiders
>>562042927I heard about that. Fucking hell I just lost 10k on that shit game rnill give it a try, our shit is almost dead so i hope this will last
>>562042470personally only get friendly lobbiesmy recent games basically looks like this anons >>562032093I never PvP thoughbut this game scratches my "collect stuff" itch pretty good
>>562043003Your matches will be mixed at first, but do not shoot anyone even in self defense and you'll end up in friendly lobbies. Healing others and using defibs on downed players also probably helps your "karma" score for lack of a better word
>>562043547You can shoot back and you wont get any/much aggression from it if they shoot first. I know Im getting kicked out of chungusartha after a 4v1 in stella, god I love the burletta.
>>562046974If you haven't played the game before, I wouldn't risk it. Could be a placement system and it takes your first x number of games with heavier weight. No one knows desu. You won't have valuable shit anyway as you start off.

>>562063194>Increased loot value in all locked rooms with a scaled increase depending on the key rarity.>Players who build their own loadout are more likely to join fresh servers.VERY good change.
Gonna be honest, Embark is cooking with these updates.
I don't know how they expect you to get the blueprints for the new guns if they only come out of the new assessor probesBreaching one spawns in 2 rocketeers, 1 vaporizer and a bunch of small flying ones and it's not even a guarantee that there's a bp in itI did a whole assessor on my own and only got a couple of those new purple crafting matsI could not imagine trying to do this thing in pvp as no one would team up to take out the ARC, and if they did a huge fire fight would just ensue, so the best way would just be sneaking up on it and trying to breach it while everyone else fights the ARC
Where do I find Arc Metal, Arc rubber hoses, and Arc powercells?
>>562066026Cloak and smoke helps immensely, optionally lure grenades to fuck over other players. I guess I got lucky cause I got the laser shotty bp from just two containers
What's the best way to fight the Vaporizers? They shoot down grenades and get the stupid projectile shield after taking a certain amount of damage. Hullcracker works okay but essentially the invincibility between every few shots makes it real annoying. Saw someone snaphook + deadline one earlier that genuinely seemed like the most effective way
>>562066938big ARC
does hiding in bushes work against arc?
>>562067986supposedly yes but its pretty finicky except for rocketeers, they ignore that entirely for some reason
>the visor on the driftcoat skin is now see-throughwhat the fuck, put it back I don't want to see my ugly raider's face.
>>562062607what was [wrong choice]
>>562042470I say this 100% Unironicallythis game is literally exactly what you want, esp. if you don't shoot first, or people much, and you play solo. You'll still have some PvP tension but you'll be able to collect lots of cool stuff and be able to craft it with BPs. That and the enemies are actually fun and varied. literally never been a better time, huge update just happened today and another even bigger one is happening in april. Basically the end of every month has one.
>kill roboniggas with arc fire bombs sheeeeeiiitis this even worth doing
>>562065185damn fucking right, this update was FAT and the Vaporizer is no fucking joke. People were milquetoast about the new arc we got a month ago, but this fucker is a demonic child raping nigger from gambia.It's kino, and the update overall had a lot of good shit in it be it QoL, arc to fight, loot to get, or new shit to shoot with.I can only imagine April's update, and I hope they keep the cadence like this going into may, june etc.We will most certainly get another new gun related to the new boss in april, I think.
best way to farm adv. mechanical components? this new event is eating up the durability of my weapons
>>562073825Open cars/bus engines and those green control panels you see in industrial areas, not only they give those but also regular mechanical components so you can refine them into what you want
>>562072319it was kind of funny>man all the arc are so boring except the Rocketeer>new arcs release>WTF THIS GAME IS HARD NOW
ngl the new event got old kinda quickit's only worth doing for the new bps and I don't think I care enough about a legendary shotgun and another smg
>>562071979Can't tell if the update reset the matchmaking scores or not. Everyone's shooting on sight in my lobbies now
>>562076580the legendary shotgun doesn't require any legendary parts though
How is the new Arc enemy?
Are we back or is it over?
>Shredders added to ALL maps
So the Vaporizer isn't a Matriarch/Queen level boss but another enemy for the enemy pool like a Rocketeer?
Why is this thread so dead? The game just had an update today.
I'm so confused about the item management. Not 'confused' confused but after 25 hours I don't have any idea should I just sell most of my components. I have 300,000k money and maxed out stash but I still haven't upgraded my workshop that much. I think this game is very half-baked on many levels.
>>562080668They want to increase the PvE difficulty which will make the game even more grindy than what it already is.Maybe they have deducted that so many people aren't killing other players so they need to do something about this...
>>562081967because I'm playing the gameif someone has a question I'll respondbut I'm not sitting here typing up greentexts>>562081309yea maybe next month will be the new boss?seems like the vaporizer is just a new arc, and we still have a "new large arc" next month
>>562066026>I could not imagine trying to do this thing in pvp as no one would team up to take out the ARCThis is an pve event anon, why would they make a condition where there's a massive amount of arcs with increased arc loot if that's for pvp?
>>562066026>I could not imagine trying to do this thing in pvpthat's the only way you're not gonna end up with a dozen freekit leeches trying to nab the loot first
Is the Vaporizer the new king or does the Rocketeer still clear as the most dangerous arc currently?

>>562087102the next two outfits they're releasing look a lot better, so save your raiderbux
I didn't finish the weather monitoring system...
The new enemy is utter bullshit. Maybe I should quit playing this turd. This is just a skinner box for people who like to grind.
>>562088925doesnt it stay forever
>>562090136it's gone bro
>>562091323oh damn, at least I already did mine, but guess thats something to watch out for
>>562091323Maybe if people kvetch enough they'll add it back for a week. Appears a lot of people didn't realize it was time-limited
>>562091664pretty sure there was no indicationmeanwhile the trophy display is still there
holy shit the bug where it shoots a bullet after a reload makes the osprey unusableit's in the known issues
am I fucking tripping or is my mouse double clicking or the game fucking up? I keep shooting my gun but specifically the ferro and osprey, it wont stop shooting
>>562095521apparently its some bug
>>562095521see >>562092765 (literally right above you)probably linked to pic related
>>562096060>>562096849oh good, I was about to go fucking ballistic over my mice since they never last at least a fucking year. always with the double clicking issues I don't get it.
>>562097435sameglad my new one has lastedno idea if its the same issue, but I used to>unplug mine>spam click like 20+ times>plug it back in>its normal again
>>562071696Borderlands 2. I think he said he has like 2000 hours in it and has the 4th game but hasn't even beaten yet because his pc is dates. I have no idea how he can do this or why he wants me to.
Seems like Vaporizer is easier than rocketeer, maybe more health and it has that shield, but I've been able to get out of the way before it winds up its laser 100% of the time compared to getting hit with rockets
>>562099312Just watched from the control tower panorama view how the lobby dies to a pair of them laZZZZZoring everyone because no one seems to remember to take cover.Beautiful.
>>562100040Yea people seem desperate to loot those new husk things, I'm surprised how many people are just running around without having a building to back them up
>>562087979which ones?
good
>>562101656People grabbing these and leaving with them to use in a fresh lobby was pure nigger tier behavior
>>562101874yeah glad they fixed ita lot of the patchnotes are really goodlike making freekits spawn later
>>562100538you can see a picture of them in the press release
>>562102651>like making freekits spawn laterwhat the fuck? they buried the lede. "freekits spawn later" should've been the name of the update
>>562102979its not guaranteed or whatever, but yea, the notes are a decent read>Dev note: As part of an ongoing look at free loadout usage and how it impacts the game, we're going to bias the matchmaking to put players with custom loadouts into fresh servers. >This won't be a guarantee, as map choice, time of day, and region will still affect the number of players available to matchmake. This does have an effect on overall matchmaking times so we'll be keeping a close eye on it.>Free Loadouts are primarily meant as a safety net for a player's personal economy. With these kits, those who play carefully should have enough to build themselves back up, accomplish a few tasks, or make a bit of progress.
lmao key rooms still need to be buffed. tfue used the pink confiscation room blue gate, nothing but straight bullshit in that room. not even a blue to loot. nice buff.
>>562104928that room always suckedbut that doesn't give me hope, I'm guessing it's just because its so close to that breach room the devs think they cant make the loot too good, also if I remember the containers in there were kind of ass anywayat least compared to other keyrooms that usually have rarer containers
pro gaymer moves
>>562105151i noticed this bug as well as i was trying to get off the hospital roof and when trying to get the loot inside/under the underpass in blue gate and dam
>>562104928but what was the map conditions
>>562105120yeah the room did always suck but the patch notes said rooms were buffed and that the color gives a better chance of better loot. whatever value that chance of good loot is set at for rarity level, needs to be ten times the current value.
new bot is asshole
The new event kind of sucks. The super surveyors are protected by like 10 small drones plus two vaporizers and two rocketeers, so its extremely dangerous. Except people have already figured out that you can just go in naked with a looting mk1 and a single smoke grenade, smoke the thing out and loot any blueprints and stick them up your ass before dying, meaning that even if you get past the defenses you're only getting some random arc materials for your trouble
>>562107826Said it before but BPs should not be safe pocketable. At the very least legendary BPs should not be safe pocketable. Otherwise you get shit like that.
>>562108804Its not even just BPs, its also the Acessor Core or whatever its called, new item you can only get from the Acessors, it sells for a bunch and you need a lot of them for the new project. But the only way to get them is to run in naked with a smoke and try to loot it first. Seriously every lobby now has corpses of people with nothing but stims and lures, because they just run in, get it , stick it up their asses and die. It makes the entire even pointless. I don't understand how Embark didn't foresee this being a problem.
>>562085129Rocketeer hits harder than the Vaporizer.
>>562081967Jeet shill contracts expired so they aren't shitting up the thread attacking every non-promoted game. They're the worst to subcontract because they don't promote the product they just lurk and trash everything that isn't related to what's being pushed.This phenomona can be more clearly observed during Ubisoft new title releases, just bringing up the newest game being lame and the post will get shared by their wafting shit in the air and proceed to attack posters in the thread.Normal shills just talk nice about thing but sanjay's super team reports you for izzat and a penny.Anyways Arc Raiders devs are cooking and even stuff to compare to them are shitting the bed like Fortnite nuking their vbucks makes the latest wasp hunter outfit more appealing.
>do the new event in earnest bring in all my expensive gear and taking down the vaporizer>no blueprints>become a fucking jackass and go in with nothing but a smoke grenade>instant blueprintgay
>>562112468they really need to set minimum gear scores for some event mapsI hate the naked roaches
>>562087102>everyone hates this outfitgood >:)
>>562112468Same here. I vaporize the Vaporizer and all I get are their cores.
>>562113848that's too much like Marathon
>>562114072thats how I am with my favorite >:)
>>562112468and to no one's surprise this thing sucks ass. its like the Bettina of the legendary weapons>looks and feels its supposed to be a heavy hitter>does fuck all
Close Scrutiny is exactly the amount of arc I wanted to see. Super deadly, tons of dead dumb raiders.
>>562117401this should be the default amount of arc
just got survivor blueprint from these "regular containers" during Hurricane, not the ones next to all the red lockersfor some reason Hospital was completely unlootedgot a vitashot blueprint too
>>562087102Whats up with the armor parts on this one? I can't tell if it's European or Victorian. The epaulets look European to me, but the metal around the helmet and... hip bag? look like Victorian armor.My guess is European since there's a bunch of specific heritage skins.
>>562118130I'll give it a go then. Looting mk2 just gets me killed sometimes because I cant run medium shields. Need that Survivor for arc battles.
Does any other extraction shooter have enemy AI/designs that comes close to the Arcs?
>>562119252if I dont have the survivor, I like the aggressive mk2 or mk3can buy mk2 from the store and they can run medium, plus the health regen helps a little during downtime
So those flying ships during the storms were Vaporizers confirmed?
I've been sniping people trying to ninja-loot the Assessors.
This is the correct amount of Arc that should be on the map.
did a quick ctrl+f to no avail, even googled a bit. is no-one else experiencing huge fps drops on the new map? even underground with no arcs on screen shit drops to like 15. i'm a ps5 babby but it's been smooth untill this update.
>>562120209i havent seen confirmation
>>562120598There's no new map
>>562109060Something needs to change with safe pockets for sure, maybe no stuffing up the ass if its a pink rarity or higher? Else you get retarded gaming like with these events and high tier loot. Naked loot goblins suiciding as soon as they get what they need, completely ignoring the pve.
>>562109060>>562121248Embark is going to be lazy and make the new map modifier allow Arc to see through smoke.
>7 hours until next Matriarch
Holy shit I just solved it.Augment determines rarity level you can stuff up your ass.Green aug = green max you can stuff up your assBlue aug = blue max you can stuff up your assPink aug = everything can go up your asskeys can be ass'ed by any aug levelBPs can not be assed at any levelBOOM hire me embark
Marathon migrant here. It's a miserable game and it's player base is dropping by the thousands every week.What's Arc Raiders like? Do y'all recommend I pick it up? The /arg/ thread is definitely more polite and welcoming than the /mg/ thread, at least.
>>562122895go away shitballs
>>562122895It's casual. It's fun. Im guessing it's more of a stealth game compared to what looked like a very focused pvp shooter Marathon is. You can play entirely like that with random Trios killing other trios, or play it as a solo stealth game focused on acquiring loot and occasionally getting ambushed. I like numbers going up and making deadly robots explode.
>>562122443that would screw over the battledads who only run free kits because they can only play for 15 minutes per week
>>562124375>that would screw over the battledads who only run free kits because they can only play for 15 minutes per weekfree kits dont have ass pockets anyways, forgot to mention since its tied to rarity level, the augs at all lower levels can get more butt pocket slots
>>562122895400 hours and I fucking hate it>gear balance is shit, why use literally anything if grey weapons are all you need and the most cost effective.>looting is extremely unexciting, every loot is just different flavor of things to scrap into basic materials>you get queued with the biggest morons, stoners, kids, and dads if you decide to do trios>PVE is extremely boring including the big bosses (Matriarch and Queen). I'd rather go player Helldivers if I wanna see robots go boom>the existence of aggression-based matchmaking. I don't want in a lobby full of carebears that won't put up a fight and treat you like the antichrist for killing them nor do I want to be in a PvP shitfest which essentially turns the game into a battle royale>even PvP is unexciting due to freekits making up the majority in raids and again unexciting loot, I literally just don't even bother sometime when I kill someone>who gives a shit about any of the questsand yet despite all that I can't put the game down. its a piece of shit that I "enjoy" probably because theres no other decent extraction shooters in the market Tarkov is too much of a ball ache and I hear Marathon is a bigger ball ache
>>562125148filte- oh wait
played arc again for the first time since doing the most recent expedition and playing marathon instead, it's refreshing to paly a game full of friendlies and watch them scatter when you ping a grenade at them. it feels like the vidya equivalent of hitting your wife after getting yelled at by your boss at work.
>>562125492It's closer to the equivalent of getting fucked in the ass and pushing back against it
Has anyone actually seen a shredder outside of Stella Montis yet?
>>562125148>>gear balance is shit, why use literally anything if grey weapons are all you need and the most cost effective.this hasnt been true since the torro nerf, bobcat and vulcano and or renny are the top guns right now.
>>562120025>mk2 can run medium shieldsThe looting aug? Since when?
>>562127392Yea, multiple times
>>562127970>The looting aug? Since when?No he is talking about the combat mk2, since that is what he is talking about in the first part of his sentence.
>>562127392Too busy playing the new mode exclusively and it's extremely rare to see anything on the ground except for surveyors. Saw a pop once and it trolled someone as they were healing.
loading into close scrutiny with just a hairpin and a stack of ammo up my butt to harass everyone gathering at the assessors
I generally don't know what to do outside run around, collecting some shit and annoying people with proximity chat
Arcbros, we freakin did it
>close scrutiny>naked runners stealing assessors while everyone else is fighting>gunfights breaking out at assessors even in max friendly lobbies>snipers firing from rooftops at anyone trying to do assessors or fight vaporizers>extractions being hell on earth once there's 5 vaporizers flying aroundFundamentally it's not so different from a queen or matriarch map but it's silly how little cooperation there is. It's still fun tag teaming vaporizers and every assessor part I've gotten has been a gift from reviving someone who rushed it.
>>562130416>every assessor part I've gotten has been a gift from reviving someone who rushed itI literally started rushing it and grabbing stuff to give to people actually fighting for it instead of letting naked goys steal it. But the first time I died I crawled to someone who had a defib out signaling to me, told them I had a gift for them, and they knocked me instead. Whatever I guess it was in my safepocket.
dont forget the twitch drops, charms are binoculars and an alien gun. the binoculars are cool.
>>562127392killed one on regular spaceport while getting mushrooms
>>562131585thanks anontime to watch some girl gamers
>game crashes to desktop suddenly and without warning during new mission modeThanks for the free death, niggers.
>>562133369I had to restart my computer like 3 times and then refresh my modem or w/emaybe it was unrelated but it kept giving me log in and connection errors
thanks scrappy
>>562133494WTFits cool they gave a use for all that useless fruit
>>562133468It didn't even give me a prompt to reconnect when I restarted the game. I just had my friend's game crash the other day and he reconnected without issue. Now? "Eat shit counted as a death lol".
>i know bro the arc are too much now>it's just too much>it's too much>it's excessiveHoly shit who can watch these people voluntarily? 140p and mute until I get my free alien blaster.
Is there a full list of the items required for the project?
>>562133573yea this game is getting a lot of love and issues fixed i have a lot of confidence it will keep improving
>>562133617I actually enjoyed Ninja streaming earlier because he was doing the new event and PvPing the other teams off of it while fighting the arc, and he actually said>this is how it should be if they're not going to focus on the PvP>but this fucking sucks in PvP lobbies
>>562133678havent looked but usually reddit makes one of those
>>562133754it sucks only because PvE lethality is lower than PvP lethality.it takes multiple medium/heavy arc to overwhelm a competent player, but it also takes a single freegro and you making a singular lapse in judgement.
cultural archives key room, probably another 10-15k I couldn't take with me since I had both weapon slots used plus 4 stacks of ammo/lures
So what items are you now farming since the energy ammo value was nerfed? I am only 1 million from finishing the next expedition.
>>562134757my strategy is fill up my stash with important shit>simple gun parts>green arc metal>springs>great mulienand usually once my stash is full I have like 20 stacks of eachat that point I just start selling everything I pick up unless I was going for something specific>oh a Surveyor?>kill it>bunch of green and blue shit to sell>loot a whole building>sell everything after extractshould add up pretty quick, everything else seems purchasable or little farming needed, like if I die>just buy a new anvil>just buy heavy gun parts>upgrade it back to IV>make a kit with a couple processors and wires>5 green heals>5 shield rechargers>maybe 5 Adranlineand I'm good to go again
>kos lobbies>solo vs squads>close scrutinythis is the nightmare mode people were asking for good lord i am being shot at and chased for 30 minutes straight
>>562136373Squads are already basically a KOS fest regardless of PVE/PVP matchmaking because the "strength in numbers" mindset stops being extended to other people when you bring your own mate.
>>562127392there were two in the JKV building (one in the stair case) on buried city night raid
PEANUT IS STREAMINGLETS GOOOOOOO
>>562139370and?
>>562139471we love when he streams arc raiders
>>562139809Who is "we"?
>>562139875us :)
I haven't gotten a single in-progress game today, probably 15-20 raids done.
Gonna photoelectric cloak it up. I could be uber gay and go in naked but that defeats the spirit of the event.
>>5621416302 smokes does the job.
>>562141934but what do you do when the smokes run out or you need to get away?
They definitely messed with the loot drops because there is no fucking way I should have just found an Anvil splitter in some random red locker on Dam, right?
I have too many guns, what do I do>sell them/use themI don't have the blueprints for them and I don't want to be in a situation where I want one
>>562140089Same. But now Stella seems to be a 50/50 of PVE or PVP sweat lobby with absolutely no consistency.
Why doesn't any other extraction shooter come close to this game?
Enjoy your new weapons while you have them, noobs. I'm gonna test out my new Anvil V on you.
>>562144093This isnt real
>>562145832It's a weird UI bug with the upgrading menu. It's actually 3 > 4
>>562143806it seems the key is>PvE focused extraction shooterthere was actually something like this already, some console game that was a heavy PvE focused extraction shooter that let you have your own waifu and mech and had an ingame karma system where if you were evil it would tell other players and actually looked sickevery spawn was technically a late spawn as it was supposed to be a consistent world so you could just queue in and your timer needed to extract was personal, so you just had 30min to do whatever you wantedthen the PvE was absolute garbage, the stamina wasn't fun, the guns weren't good, the enemies were bad, it had acid rain that just made trying to go around the map really annoyingI think it was this?SYNDUALITY Echo of Adaso really it just gets down to "Arc Raiders is a fun and good game" that happens to have PvP so its shoved into the extraction shooter genre
What is the appeal of the Burnt Peanut guy? Obnoxious and sounds like a guy at a trailer park.

The new event is yet more rats thrive but the chads do all the work you need to kill 5 flying heavy arc while rats all rush the surveyor and leave you with no loot it’s the same shit like the queen the guys who kill the things suffer
>>562149565Yeah, the entire thing feels extremely pointless. You fight a bunch of powerful arc for the priviledge of not getting the unique loot because some naked guy already stuck it up his ass, so now you just get a bunch of random arc material that is not really useful for anything. And even if you got the unique materials or blueprints, they really also are kind of pointless, just two new pointless guns and one new project that also doesn't give anything practically useful. The game's entire reward loops is completel fucked.
>>562149081its a gamer dad thingyou have to be in your 30s and employed to enjoy it, otherwise its slop
>>562149565It’s bloated difficulty that’s all
>>562149565I think it will get better as people figure out the Vaporizer
>>562150547I wonder if hornet drivers work well on them, haven't seen that yet
>>562151110I tried that earlier and unless I did it wrong it just bounces off without doing anything.
>>562150547You shoot the bellies first I think not the thrusters
>>562150547People need to stop being scared of bringing in their Hullcrackersit was a team of 3 but they took one down fast
>>562151378People were taking them at first but even in "full" pve lobbies unless you're travelling in a pack you get ratted every time without exception.
peanuts playing with the new shotgun
Protip to any newfags:Always hunt large ARC in chungartha, you will never get ratted out by some fag
>>562151821
>>562152346That's the sheriff?
>>562152403nah idk why sheriff copied the peanut thing
>>561925907I have good news. I did not get the smoke grenade blueprint, but I did find the 2 rusted gears I needed to make level 3 gunsmith bench. I also got my gear bench to level 3 and got the Survivor augment blueprint. Still no smoke grenade blueprint. Also holy shit. I was running into so many rats. Maybe it was the duo I was running with, but I was getting a little tilted.
>>562154501>got the Survivor augment blueprintmost valuable blueprint in the game in case you didn't know
>>562149081He has a tremendous amount of showmanship and energy for someone who streams as much as he does. It's a fun stupid thing to have on in the background
>>562154984My duo was sitting on a dupe of it and just gave it to me.
>>562155748niceif you're not greedy or have a 2nd account, you basically make someone elses day when you give it to them + no use for it yourself
>>562155862I'm just mad at how many rats I ran into tonight. I lit a dude up with 30 bullets from my stitcher IV and he didn't go down. Maybe it was because he had a medium shield, but fuck, this game makes no sense sometimes.
hehe
awful grind
>>562156485mods... kill this ninjanigger NOW
>>562157538I go in with a full loadout including equalizer and help kill shit once I loot, no freeriding here
Is the expedition worth it?
>>562156485nice I hope I find one, but I probably have to get lucky with hurricane caches, or maybe that's the SMG meaning I'll probably not get one for a month
>>562158161Do you feel like wiping all your everything so you can get +5 skill points? It will also make loot more interesting I guess instead of dupe BP's and micromanaging 280/280 stash space.
>>562158396>It will also make loot more interestingHow so?
>>562158161only if you enjoy this game enough to think resetting is funI never thought I'd be ok with it, and I hate it in other games, but I actually dont mind it in this one, but I pretty much only play this game
>>562158436Because now you have nothing and there is something to get.
>>562150547I killed it solo first try. How bad at the game are you people?I used an Anvil. I can't imagine how much easier it would be with a better weapon
>>562149878Somebody here said ages ago that queen, matriarch etc (obviously this new event) shouldn't allow people to join with a free kit or no loadout at all. It's such an easy fix.
>>562149081It's a retarded turd worlders thing. Poorfags don't have anything with which they could play a multitude of games. So they watch this obnoxious retard instead. Baffling.
>>562141630You're not fighting the robots. You're behavior is still against the spirit of the event.

>>562161406https://metaforge.app/arc-raiders/needed-items
>>562140089Feelsgood
>>562158161It's the entire longterm point of the game. If you play for more than 40 hours, that's your gameplay loop of zero to hero.

I missed like 15 hull cracker shots trying to kill a rocketeer
If they shoot first and I shoot back, does that stuff affect my ABMM?
>>562165706It probably does via "Damaged/Knocked Raiders" or whatever it says at the mission end XP screen.
>>562165706It doesn't. The only things that effects it when you loot a player
>>562167035what if you loot a player you didn't kill?
>>562167305No one truly knows anything except the devs, it's all just guesswork. You'll find someone saying one thing affects it and another saying that thing doesn't.
>>562167506o i c
How much of a difference is there in damage between a Stitcher 4 and a Bobcat 4? Both with extended mag 3.
>>562168506Nigga just take them to the range and shoot the dummies there
>>562162927I've done some pretty egregious stuff and never been plopped into PVP lobbies. You must have been skating a very fine line for a single death to smack you like that. Playing freekit after the patch now is basically a gauranteed PVP lobby anyways because they are always late-joining matches with conspicuously large numbers of dead players.
>>562167797People have successfuly guessed or figured out certain details and then the devs specifically changed it and announced it to be wrong shortly afterwords. Figure it out best you can and be quiet about it until some youtuber tells the playerbase to abuse it, then its edited again and everyone suffers for someone's content.
The amount of niggers in this game makes in unbearable at times.Your stupid fucking rando duos are always bloodthirsty niggers with zero ability to back up their aggression so they exist just to steal your loot or get you killed by wanting to run off 10000 miles from extraction on 8 minutes left to hopefully go shoot some guys that might exist on the other side of the map, or you're playing with those same stupid niggers who will doggedly chase you down only to die to arc or free kits immediately after they kill you for minding your own business 1 minute into the game. I enjoy PVP and I love going into Stella with a renegade and I love setting up traps and fucking with people, I just hate how fucking niggery these people are they're the Brazilians of this game.

>>562175381>>562175745>autofilling teams>everDon't. Just play solo. The only types of people that you will find in autofill are the kind of people whos friends dont want to play with them for obvious reasons. If they even have friends.
>>562176891I've met a lot of good people in autofill, some of the best players I've ever teamed up with, it's a 50/50 grab bag of good people or the filthiest ugliest pavement ape minded niggers ever
>>562168506there is no damage upgrade, only in accuracy but bobcat mogs now.
>>562161559goddamn!
equalizer still sucks dick
>Do Night Raid Blue with Loot loadout and Lvl 4 Anvil and Venator >Went to the olive garden because i haven't improved scrappy>Nigger Rocketeer is in front of me>Lost all the loot except the fruitsWhere's the goddamn nerf nigger, why the fuck these thing spawn at nowhere
>>562178532>be a fucking idiot>whine until the game gets nerfed to your levelfuck off back to hd2
>>562178574There's literally 0 reason for Rocketeer to spawn on Olive Garden and 0 counter for PVEfags to fight them in the open, grats on losing a player devfaggot
>>562178875>fight them in the openHave you tried not doing that?
people complaining about the event are retarded. you dont have to cheese it with naked runs, the game gives you legit tools to counter the enemies. its called smoke n cloak. why are people bitching so hard about the difficulty?
>>562178875>turn off your brain>hold W>press E on container>hold LMB>expect a winsoifag
>>562179024>why are people bitching so hard about the difficulty?because they have no brain, and do not wish to utilize a single braincell in the next decade at the very least.they're not even complaining that there's a lack of variety to solutions or proper game styles, they just refuse to use anything that might be considered logical in any sense.
>>562179024Likely because you need an absurd amount of stuff to complete the accompanying project which either means an ungodly amount of grinding hours that can be slightly mitigated by snaking the loot before others even have a chance. And smoke barely works btw.
>>562179437smoke works if the ark is not aggro'dif you're throwing smoke after everything is already gleaming red and looking at you it won't do shit.that's why you combine smokes and cloak
>>562179526Yeah no its blasted me through smoke when it wasnt originally aggro'd and watched it happen to people who cloaked into a friendly smoking it for them.
So playing free kit now is basically just a highway to PVP sweatlord matchmaking, huh? Have not seen a single freekit that wasnt a nigger nor been a free kit and not been niggered.
I want to play the game properly but every time I get in raid and my two teammates see the exclusive season one Patrol armour, abs chiseling, BWC slightly protruding through the blue joggers they immediately start vacuum sucking my shit right there and then. Any tips?
how do you recognize a ttv nigger in the field
>>562179437complaints about the silly grind are legit but it is not hard to avoid the arc, which is what people are mostly complaining about
So what exactly is "Close Scrutiny" and is there good loot?Also how the fuck do you kill these surveyor things, they can literally hit you through walls with their beams.
>>562179526almost positive its this
>>562125148Why do you lie?>>562122895Don't listen to this nigga, the recent update is basically a kino endgamey update and it's never been better + game is on saleLoot is ALWAYS valuable bc it can be *crafted* into actually usable stuff or broken down into something that is (or outright used to begin with)new even is PvE focused and is anything but boring, also Arc has some of the most fun AI in a game you can fight rn. It is very fun and novel seeing how smart (and dumb) the AI can be, tracking you down and raping you. Some are more simple than others, but some AI are downright evil, depending on the enemy (like the new vaporizer).but like he did say, it's hard to put down, and the update cadence so far is legendary; totally moggs marathon'sAlso this faggot robot can target FOUR niggas at once holy shit, probably more
>>562187943idk why my post has extra linebreaks I only wentto next linelike thisthe fuck I hate reddit spacing
>>562123242>>562125148>>562187943Thank you for the information. Will check out the game.
>>562188834Np bro, honestly I'm really excited to play more and I hope you end up having a... how do you say... BLAST lmaoSorry Marathon didn't pan out, but Arc is just too superior imo overall. I don't usually post on /vg/ but I might start visiting /arcg/ more myself, if you want to play I might be down.But really, a question for you: What's really turned you off most about Marathon? I'm curious about your feelings and experience with it. Did you do compiler? feelings on cryo? game overall? journos (lmao) insist the game is good, but I find it seems to defeat itself.I didn't really find the slam all that special myself, but I find most 'extract' games to be shit (Hunt's cool), Arc is a new beast entirely.
oh, and the best thing about this is that we just got this meaty fucking update, and in literally less than a month there will be ANOTHER massive, even bigger update with a new map and boss arc, new weapon associated with that arc likely too.Nuts desu considering we just got 2 guns, a crazy new arc and special raid type
>>562179024>>562179526>>562179856The vaporizer is targeting me and catching me on fire even if I use my cloak
>>562188815>reddit spacingone of the few psyops that actually worked on retarded niggasi remember when you were ridiculed with "WALL OF TEXT" if you didn't
>>562171370Pure PvE player before. I don't know. This seems normal. Don't know what to tell you. Still had a guy camping somewhere in the dark with a shotgun and killing me instantly 4 matches later. There were matches in between where I didn't get killed, but I just know that I'm in PvP lobbies. The constant emote spam of "don't shoot" and weirdly lingering near you. We don't do that in pure pacifist lobbies, but these animals aren't killing each other every time, I guess
>tf2_spy_kill_me.gif
>>562194792NTA but yeaI know I'm hostile lobbies when suddenly every raider I run into is going "IM FRIENDLY IM FRIENDLY DEAR GOD PLEASE DONT SHOOT"when my lobbies are usually silent with people running around with their guns out
>>562175381Nobody has any fucking caution when it comes to traps. I will put down a big bright red blaze trap laser eye fucking height when Im looting a key room and people still just walk right into it and get shot and act shocked.
>>562195850Nature has given them 5 senses and they aren't using any.
>>562189429A lot of things, really: no safe pocket, ttk is on the floor, took 2 weeks for the gap between regular players and streamers/hardcore players to be insurmountable, no sbmm, cheats rampant, etc. With the skill and gear gap growing every day between casuals (like me) and no life streamers, even the reset won't really bring people back.It also doesn't help that I, and a lot of other people, don't trust Bungie. They spent ten years fumbling Destiny to kill it for....Marathon? A flop on arrival? It's a shame.
>>562175381>he doesnt know about race-based matchmaking
>>562149081every streamer that gets well known scammed and view botted all along the wayl, plus the youth are mindbroken indoor phone slaves that cant have conversations so they latch on to streamers instead in a parasocial way.
>>562196381>reset won't really bring people back.my friends are just quitting because they think resets are stupid, they don't play extraction shooter genre, so they never get reset in their other games or here in Arc when they occasionally play, they probably like that they drop the game and come back and they still have all their stuff
>>562143406wasnt it always like that?
>>562197526NTA but my stella's are all friendly, but I'm a pure PvE player
>>562178875Photoelectric cloak, lure grenade, wolfpack. There are quite a lot of options dude. You're just shit at the game.
>>562178875>pvefags when they actually have to pve and not just run around pressing E on boxes
>>562205092kill yourself
>>562178232What did they change?
>>562196381Problem is that all of these games target streamer parasites first. They cater to these individuals who are professional gamers (and also cheaters in many cases) who group up and then proceed to shit stomp on normal players so they can create 'content'.
I already completed it but noticed the Weather Station project is gone now. Did they ever mention it would be expiring?
>>562215278They said the exact opposite. That it's not expiring any time soon. I finished it as well. Still annoying for everybody else. Some might have left it alone, because they wanted to do it after the next expedition.
>>562213901Certain games ban you for "stream sniping". Fuck you. You're literally broadcasting your position. It's outside of the fucking game, how am I doing something ban worthy here? Devs cater to streamers for some reason. I doubt that a lot of people buy games because of streamers. Most of the audience doesn't even have a pc or console capable of running those games in the first place
>>562215278I'm hoping its a bugthere are thread on redditwith people saying "there was no indication it was going away"so hopefully they either reverse itor put a timer on future projects
Why did they change the sound effects for the rocketeer? I liked its older sounds way more. Such weird changes. Not improving collision on rocks and ramps everywhere in the game which are still buggy as shit where you're slipping and sliding if you try to walk up a tiny hill but instead of fixing that they're swasting money on voice actors to replace ai voices (game was super successful with that in it, why change it now?), changing UI stuff, changing sfx
>>562217858*they're wasting money
>>562194792Adding to this. I've never downed a guy with a deadline before. My guess is that the game sees you instantly downing another player as extremely aggressive and lowers your karma dramatically.
the jeets are testing something new today. I got beamed from across rooms by fags with tempests multiple rounds in a row
>>562220201Based pc players ruining the game again
>>562203101Vaporizers have shields. Wolfpacks are not as useful against them
>>562220829The dude said rocketeer
>>562196381Holy crap you just described the nog behavior of posturing before doing something LOLThe language of empty filler gibberish as they position themselves to snatch or hit someone and only mimicking small talk because it doesn't fit in their one sided hyper aggressiveness or jester deescalation humor.
>>562222123meant for>>562194792>>562195516
what exactly is the goal of people who decide to start shooting at people amidst a crowd of friendlies? with the absurdly low TTK how do they think they have ANY chance of winning in a 1 against 5-8 scenario? had a dude shotgun blast me point blank when all of us were looting the bastion at Stella, not even a freekit. ???
>>562222253>>562222123I know. These low IQ aggressive tards always think that they're inconspicuous >Erm, this must be how humans act It's hilarious
>>562176453There's a breed of autism that despises this game.
>>562222546I did that to finish a daily quest. Used a Ferro inside the harvester.People weren't paying attention. I loudly announced over proximity chat that I'm doing this because of the daily quest. I shot different people too.>Someone is shooting people >Here it's this guy, he's a rat!!And then they killed meThat was a while ago. Don't know what this idiot was thinking
>>562222123I met a guy who behaved like a homeless, criminal gypsy. With a weird accent and everything>My friend, my friend, come over here I want to show you something I had multiple bps and just killed him>I wanted to steal all YOUR stuff? Why you do this??I wish I had a screenrecording of it.
>I'm friendly >u friendly?>FRIENDLY Yeah. This is totally how friendly players act...>inb4 don't tell them that! now they know that they shouldn't do that Doesn't matter. They will still stick out like a sore thumb.
Should I give Scrappy fruit mix or just focus on the apricots?
I like killing leeches during matriarch or harvester events. I sometimes die to sheriffs who don't agree or don't know what's happening, but I try to spread the idea that not doing any damage and just looting everything should come with consequences >They have the cores already in their safe pockets Not always pic related, nobody cared that I killed him and loot goblins should still be punished. Anyway. Doing this means that my next matches will be in pvp lobbies and I always like seeing multiple rats meet each other. It's hilarious how I know that they're aggressive players and how they try to deceive people. It's like I'm a documentarian observing an alien species which is trying to act human.
do surveyors no longer drop blueprints?
>players are too smart for the ARC and keep solving the game>lets make the ARC have ESP and wall hacks so even if they can't see you and don't know you're there they will randomly instantly snap to you and one shot you then go back to walking into a wall for 4 minutesTHIS GAME'S AI GETS WORSE EVERY FUCKING PATCH
>>562011387They should release a saarc that sprays you with feces.
I would do the expedition if it meant I would lose everything except blueprints. I don't have the luxury to go find everything again because of my job.
>>562225395they still drop loads of em. All I've been doing is nothing BUT blueprint farming from surveyors and the best part people always ignore them or don't go for the part that typically has the bp. It's not guaranteed but the chances are still relatively high from my experience
>>562225462The whole conceit of this setting is that 1) The Arc lost and evolved, and 2) They are continuing to evolve and outsmart us.
>>562158161You need to reach like 100 skill points to cover all the skills that actually do something so yeah, it is worth it.
quest rewards continue to be trash. one gives you a light stick blueprint, another gives you an aphelion
I want to have fun with blue/red lights but they cost chemicals and that's the number one most useful resource for crude explosives for Launcher Ammo. I'm constantly in need of chemicals and crude explosives. I have 7 mil so I could just buy them but meh I like number going up. Lights and fun stuff should cost literaly pennies.
>>562227174I get why they don't last an infinite amount of time, someone could spam like hundredsbut I was so disappointed during the coldsnap update when it was finishing up the first time and looking like it was going away foreverI threw red/green glowsticks around the final extract and had a few cool blueprints I was ready to hand outI still handed out the blueprints, but it was kind of disappointing to throw a bunch of christmas lights and they despawned after 1 minute
>>562229305Yeah shit sucks. How hard is it to optimize lights? Big fan of prism stones in dark souls.
>>562229839Gmod already lets you put in a trillion lights with no problems.
>>562229839the prism stones in DS are fixed objects, the glow sticks are physics objects that can be tossed around.>>562230765and you can easily crash servers or your computer with it. Just because you can doesn't mean the engine or server load can handle it.
>>562231325If you crash on gmod due to light spawns it's a hardware issue, and one that hints at a desktop that can't handle Fallout 3.
>>562231496Eat my ass chud. Suck my dick from behind. Suck my balls through my jorts
>>562230765Gmod is also really old and on source engine which is very easy to run. If you can't understand the difference between that and a modern game you're a moron.
>be me>how unfortunate>queue stella>place explosive mines behind me as I go>hear them constantly going off within 10-15 seconds
Where da new map
>>562244830gonna release on thursday, april 30th 11:59 PM
>>562244830End of the month
oh coolnew quest/reward
>>562238948The difference is forced unoptimized lighting that looks like shit and is made by jeets in UE5
>>562249870cool
PEANUT IS STREAMING
>>562231325Give me a glowstick that becomes a fixed thing like a dart gun tool.
should get spotter relays to fuck over everyone who gets to the assessors before me.
nice another quest for raider coins
>giving randoms blueprints of shit I own>helping random people take down bastions>reviving people who get downed by shreddersI love chungartha. I don't want to return to the life of ratkanda. It's peaceful.
>>562256212You can get a taste of Ratkanda to remind yourself of the suffering by spawning a freekit on Stella. 100% rat+TDM lobbies.
new event is fun. trying to juke out the roaming arc patrols of doom is a nice change-up. first time ive been using the cloak too.
>lost a vulcano because I went to help some guy>get downed>he runs offFuck my life. Last time I ever help someone out
>>562261925I know >streamersbut its nice seeing them actually struggle with something
>>562262216>vulcanoNothing of value was lost. Toro is much better
did you guys have a sudden rush of cheaters again or was i just unlucky today. I was getting followed whenever I found something like a bobcat
>>562263113Toro was nerfed and Vulcano rips now.
Is he ok?
>>562265649had one guy kill me, but idk if he was a cheaterotherwise no
new map condition is absolute cancer to play in solos>go naked with smokes for a few games>have to race with half a dozen other naked fucks, or someone literally comes up to my ear and empties his stitcher into my ass the second i finish breaching then proceeds to die>or get shot by someone understandably sick of the naked hordes>trololo platforms + the game's retarded vaulting>take a loadout with cloak, play it patiently >get naded anyway by some cunt in a window and have to decide between death via bullets or lasersi joined the dark side after that and decided to shoot the naked moles and the 4 times i actually got to extract there was a rat. i guess the shittiness of actually acquiring the loot means their numbers went upi haven't been in chungartha for a few days but i imagine it's just full of naked loadouts swarming the breaches and people with hullcrackers taking down vaporizers for the hell of it?
>>562267714The entire event, in both PvP and PvE lobbies, is dominated by naked runners sticking all the valuable stuff up their asses and dying. That's legitimately what 80% of the playerbase is doing. The reward structures and methods of obtaining said rewards are completely retarded and time and time again its this kind of retardation that is rewarded. Actually engaging with the game is only useful if you want to "have fun", but the core gameplay isn't actually good enough to be entertaining by itself. Everything is just lopsided.
>>562189429True true... I seeNo safepocket is an interesting thing to bring up since just having it makes it so much easier to be chill and do your quests and shiiiieeetAlso the Agression influenced matchmaking (still obfuscated for maximum fun 'who dunnit') does help weed cheaters out naturally from most normal, mixed, or friendly lobbies, so your PvP is usually legit unless the rare cheater resets their abmm.
>>562193584You saying people used to say "WALL OF TEXT" on reddit or here? which is the psyop. Personally I just think reddit spacing is cringe. I like spaces periodically, but only when it makes sense, not every fucking sentence like redditors do. Usually when I jump to the next point.Like now, I would start talking about something more 4chan o algo and not reddit, idk. Personal formatting preferences
another new quest
>>562270046The objective itself is designed not to allow freaks to easily get access to it since you MUST wait for the platform to come to you. In chungus solos, this means if you see someone trying to loot it with NO good weapons etc., all you need to do is throw a lure at their feet, and loot it after.It's not that hard, you don't even have to shoot them.In duos etc. you have a buddy aggro while YOU loot it for the both of you.>>562267714You're just getting unlucky bc I've been in relatively chill solo lobbies, depsite having to shoot people in duos and trios.Listen, either way, it's tough luck vro.Chungartha is somewhat as you describe, but as I said, there's an easy way to fuck over the friggers without killing them directly and it's throwing lures at them to fuck them over.just make sure you keep at least one lure for yourself in a pinch, and your cloak equipped too.>>562225462schizophrenia>>562225060I be look maxxing, I be literally bringing Binoculars just to be LOOOOOKINGI like to observe niggasNow watch vidrel for these niggers being raped, it's glorious ludokino and why this update is the best yet.
>be in pvp lobbies>die 3 times in a ROW to russian teams where one guy has 1000 hours and 2 guys are literal level 1 accounts on steam>getting double tapped on a headglitch every gameJesus FUCKING christ there is so many of these god damn cheaters on EU my game is literally unplayable
>>562278032>lure grenadesthis>think I'm in peaceful bird city>rocketeer in front of me so being careful>suddenly shot from behind>reflexively turn around and throw the lure grenade at him>he's now dealing with a rocketeer
the new condition is ass. either you bring enough shit in to take everything on and at that point all the roaches just take advantage and loot everything. or you still bring things in and try to stealth it and the roaches come running up without stealth triggering everything and getting you killed.
I have died twice by having too much fun with the shredder trialI really just need to extract if theres only 1 min left, but its so fun killing them with the Hullcrackerand theres like 5 around seed vault
>>562278194report them every timeit actually works
>>562278032So is killing other players via arc not increasing your aggression stat? Using lures and such. Crafting the little noise thing that activates when other players are nearby could be good here.
>>562282640If you're not directly doing damage, you're not being aggressive. That's the only way to really look at it with any cautious certainty. That also means you can troll with pulse mines because they don't do damage. I've done this for lulz by stealthily pulse mining ziplines and extraction points.
>>562283846People talk about increased aggressive lobbies after looting people. That's not doing damage. So I'm not sure if you're telling the truth here
>>562278896Fully open and transparent gear based matchmaking would fix this All the naked run guys can slug it out in their shit lobbies and stacked people with 100k worth of loadouts should be in their own lobby
>>562283975I've not suffered from that in my experience and that includes looting up piles of bodies left behind after a FFA brawl breaks out over loot and wannabe heroes fighting wannabe heroes to save people by killing them by accident.
>>562283975NTA but I would say looting bodies seems to have karma penaltybut I agree with that other anon, there should be no reason lure grenades should get you any negative karmapersonally not sure about the Jolt Mine, I can see it if what he said was true, technically you did no damage, but I just never use them to know myself
How's the Canto in PvE?
>>562284079>>562283846Seems to me that you're okay with a little bit PvP here and there. So you don't notice it. I'm in pure PvE lobbies trying to do this event in PvE lobbies seems impossible. I guess I'm fine with increasing my abmm, get my 18 matrices and die my way back to pacifist lobbies
>>562284104I would stay away from jolt mines for karma imo because they are inflicting status effects on someone and can be used aggressively instead of just stumbling them. And frankly it might be spaghetti coded to be the same as whipping showstoppers at someone.>>562284350I personally spent like 2 whole days draining my supplies into like a hundred pulse mines and sat around in pure PVE lobbies trolling people off ledges and shit. They usually got revived because every flare is a 911 call in PVE lobbies but still, it was funny. No repercussions. No PVP punishment.
>>562284350>die my way back to pacifist lobbiesI'm doing that all day, every day, when the new map is out.I will kill every PvE player who is ready to extract.>But muh 911 callI'm full killing them before cavalry arrives
>>562286692Are you the lolcow?
>>562263113dis dude hasnt played in a month
>>562286946Of course he is, it's an effortless tell.
started last week, what is the most pvp map btw?
>>562284332its a medium ammo Bobcat, it shreads arc armor but it kicks like a mule
>>562288615stella montis (night raid)
Yeah they need to rework safe pockets. This naked runner shit is RETARDED.
>gear up with PvEing in mind (anvil + legendary or hullcracker)>fucking die>gear up being cautious of PvPers and rats>never get to fire my gunthis is tiring
>>562290431I wonder if you guys could try going to NA serversbut maybe thats too laggy
>>562290849im already in burgerland though, wdym. I'm just annoyed at the fact that I bring my jupiters I always get decimated since im too used to carebear lobbies meanwhile I bring my big dick guns like a tempest 4 + high level mods I never get to use it to kill anyone
>>562291151oh I just assumed because of the timeand yea, I had a similar experience going from only using Anvil to grabbing a secondary like hullcracker and had to get shot in the back a few times before the game was like>oh yea this guys a retard>throw him back in the pve lobbiesseems fine now, but yea, seems the higher value the loadout, more chance for pvp
>>562284332worse ammo economy than bettina, lol520 damage per inventory slot vs 560even worse in practice because the recoil/accuracy are ass in comparison
>>562291151You just need to pay attention to people dude, how they talk and their gear, people with hullcracker or energy ammo weapons rarely shoot others, but if you see someone coming close to you with a pvp weapon you know whats coming.
>>562291663that suckstempest is still the best then?
>>562291151Telepathy is also important. Trust your instincts. Once a guy was standing next to me while waiting a metro and I sensed something and thought "don't even fucking think about it".He throw a nade but I was able to escape because I was already acting before he did anything.Why escape? I was loaded that's why.
>>562293293tempest is not a PvE weapon
>>562288710yeah okay that makes sense
This game, just like any other 'extraction' game is full of faggots. I don't even complain about pvp but the playerbase itself consists 99% of worst faggots known to gaming.
>>562293342it's not? i thought it worked well in a pinch
>>562295759it's passable, but it won't beat an anvil or a dedicated anti-ARC weapon like a hullcracker or the legendaries
is there some holiday going on that i don't know about? I kept running into retarded kids that were running around shooting at everyone
>>562297013easter holidays maybe, if you're in yurop? easter is next sunday
don't die
>>562300045dying is gay
>>562300078don't get knocked out
>>562294579Nope. People are pretty chill. I've had multiple people say ggs after third partying them. Those people are based and we should be like them
Is there a way to not show the patch notes screen every time you boot the game?
Does the Canto BP only drop in hurricane caches?
ran into my first guy shooting people during the assessor eventall chaos is breaking lose with ARC everywhere and people running around shooting them and suddenly I get shot in the back from some window on buried citythere's not really anything you can do against that, extremely faggy way of playing
>>562272326obviously there's a golden middle ground, nobody wants to see a text monolith, nor every sentence separated by a double new line
>>562305785I've heard residential as well but only saw it mentioned in passing, no idea if it's true
>>562307031yea the rats are out today
firefly has to be the worst minor enemy in a game I've ever experienced
>>562315405the only thing i've been able to do is shoot it if its far enough away, or run a bit and hopefully get enough shots off before it catches up
>running does not cancel ads >getting stuck to little piece of geometry all the fucking time>stamina seems to deplete in random fashionGive they are now such a big developer they should really do something about the clunk controls.And the best part is that these retards can't think about anything else than either drones or r2d2 droids.
>>562315405It's not too bad, pretty easy to take down, but its s really nasty if it catches you in a corner. Now a firefly and comet is a nasty combo.
the new sniper shotgun fucks in PvP, its actually worth running for the cost
>>562318742I hope I find one one day
I guess hotshot isn't too crazy this season
>>562318742how? seems you have to be a foot away to 2 shot and its very weak against arc. a vulcano mogs.
>>562321841Peanut and Cloakzy were saying it was good in PvPI think Ninja was counting and was 2-3 tapping peopleNTA btw so he may have personal experience and not just watch streamfags
>>562321841you can focus the lens by holding RMB and crack peoples shields from 70m away
>>562321330>he thinks those numbers will keep him in hotshot at the end of the seasono i am laffin
>>562321330What the hell. Did you not play the game or avoid being placed on a leader board for a few days or something?I am at number 20 on my hotshot leaderboard with a score of 77k.Seems like you lucked out and got on a leaderboard of brain dead hotshots
Are Embark retarded? Let's put the new SMG BP in the hurricane meme boxes only and literally no where else
This is the first project I'm not going to bother with...24 accessor matrixes19 vaporizer regulatorsI could bring a ton of gear to try and take it on, only to have naked runners swipe it all before I'm done killing the arc. Haven't seen a single other person trying to shoot the arc around the accessors in 10 games now.
>>562334967pvefags keep ignoring the obvious solution
>>562335095>shoot naked runners>doesn't matter because they've stuffed the matrixes up their safepocket already
>>562335095white knight fags will shoot you for "ratting" if you fire at nakeds, it's autistic
>>562334967Lure grenades in the middle you retard
>>562335336Chaotic Good vs Lawful Evil is my favorite trope though
>>562334967why are you shooting it? smoke and cloak.
>>562290431There is a popular theory even here that loadout value has an effect on your matchmaking.
>>562335336I've had someone watch me shoot a runner from afar with my Anvil and he's just gone "hey I saw you shoot that guy. Why tho?" and I just told him they should stop stealing the loot while I'm fighting enemies and he backed off.
>>562315405I took it down naked. Just with the melee. I have 0 skill points in meele skills by the way.
>>562289087Can't wait to do it again after the expedition
>>562284408I did what he said and I can confirm that using lure grenades and pulse mines doesn't increase your aggression. I've been revived multiple times. Even though I clearly have no weapon and no shield. Doing the close scrutiny (horrible name) events Those carebears just love reviving people. It's hilarious.Snitch scanners are fun as well.
>>562336960>Wtf why, why? Motherfucker>he breached it and ran away >snuck in and got a matrix I love lure grenades
Still waiting for the Bettina to be buffed and turned into a hard hitting DMR, it's such a great looking gun
>>562347393still waiting for shield buffs

anons, what are your thots on weapons this patch?
>>562351840I'm using heavy shields(stolen) with stitcher 4 and rattler 4 .I took like 20 purple shields from players who tried to extract.
>>562352508sure you did buddy
>>562352707nta but tbf heavy shields are ass
>>562352781thats why its probably that one guy who lies about killing people all the time to shitpostwho the fuck uses purple shields
>>562352905a lot of pve retards do, tbfpvp players almost exclusively use mediums, even if they can slot a heavy

oh yea I still got to try the new keyrooms
>>562354990they definitely did buff them

>>562356114No boyfriend to help you, you're getting shot when you think you're alone ;-)
>>562356053brown
>>562356234>implyingkeep dying, I could use more... what the fuck do pink shields even salvage into? complex electronics?
Rape starts with new map release.Dying back to PvE lobbies.Killing any solo who wants to extract.My purple shield and blue heals > your shit shield
>>562356503thanks for the material, kind stranger
>>562356410All heals n shields are taken from players. Shot them in the back when they thought they're alone.I'm always in PvE lobbies, always killing players. Never shooting Arc.
>>562356716>taken from players>full durabilityyou can't even lie properly
>>562356716>bitch made camper is making pink shields because he needs that damage resistance to survive ambushing a pve shitter
>>562356819>>full durabilityMhm
>>562357045>80>65not the magic numbers el amigo
I thought rats could not afford gear, wtf is happening xisters...
>>562356716>I'm always in PvE lobbieswaitwhy are you acting like you're skilled then?lmfao
Guess who's getting shot in the back, when alone in PvE? You!Guess who won't survive, because the camper has more health? You!BwwagAAHAHAHHA HAHAHAHAH
I guess Marathon died
>>562357596Yeah he came crawling back pretty fast probably because he started getting bodied.
>>562357490>>I'm always in PvE lobbiesTo kill friendlies. Then I take off good gear, go die, go back to PvE. And rape more friendlies.I don't give a fuck about pvpers, they're not my target. I want the friendlies.
>>562357645>>562357596and yet you idiots are over here humoring him instead of completely ignoring him like you should
Sometimes you gotta wait more than 15 mins. There's often a lone wolf getting ready to extract.Shoot him in the back.>Fights backWill lose to purple shields.>But the SOS cavalryWon't make it in time, I take off the heavy shield, dip to a hatch.>injects fent for staminaWooooosshshhhh
>>562357750>and yet you idiots are over here humoring himThey're mad I actually have so many big shields, money n shieettt.And they're stupid, yeah. BWaaaHWAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH
>>562357750idk what you're talking about, but go on
I have a full stash and 8mil. Do I run purple shields all the time?
>>562351840Arpeggio, rattler, and il toro should be below torrente, that thing is the PvP close/mid quarters king. Ferro should be moved up one because it can 2 shot light shields at a further range than the anvil, is cheap to upgrade, and is great for taking out any small arc.
>>562359235dependsI don't really like it cause it weighs you down so much and always go medium
>>562359235>Do I run purple shields all the time?No, that way it'll be more difficult to ambush you. I want you to be below half health, when you realize you're being ratted.>>562359935>always go mediumBased, go medium and exfil alone. To make it easier to kill you.
*yawn*get new material

cultural archives key
>>562365398isnt that a purple? kinda lackluster too beee honest.
Il toro is so fucking trash now, they really fucked it. I'd rather have a rattler or sticher than an il toro at this point. If there's any sort of objects to hide behind around, and your opp isn't a retard, he will just slide+jump around and duck behind objects. Due to constant server lag and how slow il toro fires now, you can barely get any clear shots in (unless you get the jump on someone and he freezes) and you need 3 to kill. Any decent pvper can easily out-slide and out-jump the il toro with basically any weapon. Just had a situation where I killed an il toro user (ironically named "GoPVE") while using a kettle 1. Then I took his il toro (big mistake) and was killed by a guy with a rattler 1. Made me kek. Dogshit gun, into the trash it goes
>>562365762nta but that place is like all sellable stuff and junk material so that's about as good as it's going to get
>>562365762100k profit is lackluster? lol
>>562363595You wouldn't believe what it's like in pve lobbies during new map conditions. It's just a group of us boomers all running around with hullcrackers knocking out vaporizers and reviving each other. Some ppl are even giving out the new bp.
>>562365982firefly hard filtered my il toro the first match I tried with it, didn't know they nerfed it
i feel like a parent should berate me for not having at least level 2 augs and spare non-grey gunsim level 11
>stella montis>every match has been pure friendly so far>hear someone on another floor in a whiny voice begging for a defib>that's weird, I didn't hear a flare>I do have defibs but wouldn't even know how to get to him in time>someone else pipes in and says they have a defib for him>hear guy 2 run over>hear gunshots>guy 1 calls him a dumbass as he finishes him offAlways shoot squeakers.
Night raid would be a lot more fun if they hadn't been so lazy with it. Adding more and more arc when there are less and less players might have seemed like a fun idea, but on stella it renders the map impossible if you're not already at the final extract with 5 min to go. You just get instarape gangbanged by 30 arc on your way to the extract. Really fucking gay and lame
>>562356410I think so, although I'm going of the one I broke down after trying it out near launch
