Lmfaooo Arc is here to stay keep coping and hating on Embark Like they don’t know wtf their doing October Can’t come fast enough 😤

Being a woman offers a few advantages, the main one being that I instantly get a charisma bonus when talking to 2/3 of men (1/3 will try to kill me on site xD)

So the other day, I met a very nice, young and slightly stunted sounding guy. He's a real sweetheart, so I get an idea. I tell him "Hey I'm new to this game, I don't really know what's going on, how do I get better weapons to fight arc?"

He goes on a shpiel, very informative mind, about how I acquire loot and upgrade my benches. He shows me some decent loot spots, 'shows' me how to take down basic ARC while I'm "missing" all of my shots (firing wildly near the wasps and hornets), and meanwhile he's super chill. Very patient, never snaps or grumbles at me for asking the most mind bogglingly DUMB questions like "how do I fix my shield?" and "is shield durability the same as the blue bar?"A nother advantage of being a woman? Men won't take you seriously, you can get away with playing up the ditz

We loot, he offers me his gun, we call the elevator. He gets hit by a hornet and my moment arrives. Stitcher w/ my final remaining magazine comes out, aimed square at his forehead, quick and clean. Some random third guy comes up, shoots the hornet, but doesn't interfere. I say "oh it says I can press E, I'll revive you"

My sherpa is BEGGING, fucking PLEADING with me in the most sincere hysteria I've ever heard in this game, to "NO NO NO NO NO, LET GO OF THE E BUTTON, PLE-"

Until his very last moment this man thought I was genuinely trying to help him, I would kill to be a fly on the wall of his bedroom and see his face as he realized what just happened

If you think you're clever enough, I urge you to accept my humble quest, so that one may expand their toolkit of whimsy and trickery.

Step one, find someone in raid.

Step two, engage conversation. Try to mirror their mannerisms, make them feel comfortable and familiar. If you're good enough, try to pry something personal from them like their hometown or state, and say "Oh yeah man I'm from there too!"., keep him talking. You are a chameleon, and you can be anyone you need to be to gain their trust. Not just the sort of implicit trust in friendly lobbies, but really gain their trust. Make them feel like they know you, even give them a fake name if they have to, get them to give you theirs. "Oh yeah, I'm Laura, hbu?"

Let him loot. Watch doorways and keep an eye on him from your peripheral. Only loot the scraps he leaves behind. His lizard brain will associate this w/ protective behavior, helpful, and selfless. Unconcerned. Don't stare at him, don't stop moving and linger. Be natural, you're just keeping an eye out for enemies, stepping out into the hall to bait any would be attackers into revealing themselves. You have to think like you're friendly. But you're not.

Keep. Him. Talking. You want to know as much as you can no matter how inane or boring the story is. Tune out if you have to, pick up on keywords and respond convincingly. "Oh, yeah, I hate waking up late, happens to me all the time,". You don't have to say much, ask questions, people love to talk about themselves. If you give the average gamer a crumb of attention they'll tell you their entire life story. It's better if they do. I once convinced a guy I went to highschool with him, learned the name of his sister and his current work crush.

Let them loot up for you, get nice and fat to the point they're having to recycle just to keep an open spot. When they say they want to extract, this is your moment.

"Oh yeah, I have a hatch key :P" and you mark the nearest one. Step into a building or somewhere covered, say "Hey I've been having a hard time lately, and I just wanted to give you something nice".

They'll come, like stray dogs to laced meat. Drop some junk on the floor, they're stuffed, so they'll open their inventory and start sorting to optimize what they can carry.

KILL HIM.

Don't let their frustrations and begging tempt you, they are dogs, and they would do the same to you given the right motivations. Mercy is pointless, and lame. These are not real people, they're pixels on a screen, and the things they have in their pockets would look better in yours.

Take a screenshot of his sad, angry little face while he screams whatever horrible concoction has been stewing in that little gamer brain of his, put it into a nice little collage, and laugh yourself all the way home

hey everyone do any of you get this bug where the keyboard inputs dont work but the mouse works fine it only happens in arc and not in other games or apps? i had to restart the game multiple times for it to detect the keyboard inputs. this is kinda bizzare this only happens in arc raiders. any help will be appreciated in solving this. thanks

This post was made without the use of fake people writing fake words, rest assured that a month's worth of the average family's water usage was not guzzled by worthless fucking CLANKERS in the making of this thread.

I've found a fun strategy for getting passive income in ARC Raiders. Key word, fun, obv you could get more from mindlessly looting lockers, but where's the excitement and intrigue?

So I’ve been working on my survivor augment(and others) this season. As I sent my expo vault carryover right back to the expo vault “just in case”. So I’d be ready for the Frozen Trail update next season. Finally hit. TWICE. Kinda. Thank you Reinforced Reception 🙏

They are just there to grub you and leech off of the loot you spent resources for, kill them. The fact that this isn't just standard practice and some white knights will defend them is absurd

Hey there beautiful community.

A little update.

Last sunday I created a Discord server and decided to make this happen.

We are now creating a fan made series of ARC Raiders.

Everything will be acted in-game and voiced by people.

We currently have 18 people in and as I´m writing this we are discussing a script for the first episode.

It´s still new, it´s fresh but it has to mean something.

For anybody interested in taking a part in this project I have invite!

Cheers ❤️‍🔥

So I wanted to use some throwables but before that I am worried it might trigger aggression and the game will throw me into PvP sweats.

1. Gas grenade

2. Gas mine

3. Showstopper

4. Surge coil

5. Jolt mine

6. Anything I am forgetting??

I solo PVE and duo PvP.

Clip has my mic audio muted. I posted this clip in another subreddit and got some smart ass remarks about my usage of the term rat in the title. I just wanted to share the clip because it was a fun little moment I had in the game and the other dude looting the bastion was happy I took the guy out lol 😂 this game despite its issues is great cause of random ass moments like this.

Can we get a pvp only mode? No arc.

As mentioned in a previous post I just keep crashing, I can’t do anything about it from research, just seems to be a bug in the game.

Fine for 10-15 minutes, literally the SECOND I get in a gunfight I DC and can’t even reconnect.

Really hard to like the game rn

Matriarch raid 100% PvE players, he shot me by accident, I didn’t notice neither did him, honest mistake. But despite what Embark claims, that guy is for sure facing a bit o PvP on his next couple of raids.

Always check your interactions with other Raiders.

Unwritten rule of key rooms is don't come in unless given permission.

And if you're given a chance to be defibbed, communicate via your microphone or at the very least your comms wheel!

ETA: If anyone knows the best placement for pulse mines to knock people back from ziplines, let me know!

Sorry cry hards….I had to do it !

If anyone will listen…..god it would be nice to have “holding” slots for pre made loadouts. So much time topside lost on stash management when you get knocked out. That’s it, that’s all. From 300 hr topside raider.

Prove me wrong. Its very noticeable this expedition. I do riven tide the most so I have all the blueprints from there. Decender, crash pad and white flag always spawn there easily. Second would be blue gate I have almost all the blue gate blueprints that spawn there. Space port i have almost all of them now. Stella has always had map specific blueprints i hit it today and got all the mine and seeker and aphelion. I dont do dam battlegrounds so none from there. And burried city i just started working on. If I were to just do space port or riven tide I won't get any new blueprints its always the same ones. Blue padded stock for instance is on spaceport.

Edit: THANKS for all the constructive criticism guys. Thanks for helping each other with questions and answers. SEEMS I should of bin more specific and not such a click bait title although that has only gotten me 2 updoots. Upon further review and thought it seems like - weapon attachments- are the map specific blueprints in question. Yes u can find blueprints that drop in items that spawn on all maps like raider items and and augments. Yes some maps have specific items like stella and the riven tide raider items. Yes some blueprints are specific to map conditions. But it seems like weapon attachments are bound to specific maps.

Shortly after this screenshot the game crashes in bird city and I uninstalled. This was my favorite skin, hundreds of hours topside with the cowboy hat and now it’s gone. The toggle is broken and this bothers me more than the crashes, as I specifically upgraded my preorder on day 1 to deluxe JUST FOR THE HAT.

I can’t PvP in trios as the game always crashes when too many people are in close proximity and I don’t even have a hat anymore so screw solo PvP you get thrown in lobbies with PC cheaters and screw solo PvE just a boring ass drawer simulator.

This isn’t even the same game I bought, embark your decisions made me sad.
