r/ArcRaiders

I can excuse a lot of rat behavior as like, "that's just the game, gotta be aware of your surroundings" yada yada. But like, seriously, if you're that hurting for loot you gotta betray someone who went out of their way to help you, kinda pathetic.

I’m thinking divide your XP from the raid by either 100 or 1,000 and it would add that amount to your bankroll. It might not be much but it’s more than XP does for me now 🤷‍♂️

I'm 53 and I've gamed for many years. I started out on Socom if that tells you anything. I used to be the guy in my clan that everyone wanted on their side because I was that good. COD came out and I became a master at quick scoping. I didn't game for about 10 years when my kids were growing up. They're all out of the house now so about 2 years ago I bought a PS5. I was doing COD and BF but those games had changed so much it just didn't feel the same. My nephew convinced to me try Arc Raiders and this game is the game I've searched for my entire life. I love the solo aspect of it and the chat interactions. It is truly amazing.

My issue is that I absolutely SUCK at PvP aspect of this game. I use two accounts one PvE and the other PvP. My only way to PvP is to basically sneak attack and get the first shot and I still die many times lol. I don't do the fake friendly back stab stuff and I don't camp extractions but I will lay in wait in hot areas of the maps.

Do other old school gamers have this issue? Are my reflexes and eye sight just bad now?

It's safe to say the MK III survivor reigms supreme in every single way and completely shits on any other augment - high carry capacity, extra space for valuables, three safepockets and being able to run a medium shield - I and many other people run it almost every single raid. How do you think Embark will balance things in the future?

this feels like the third time i've died because i was pulling out a heal or a shield recharge or smoke to use it immediately while being blasted by something (bastion, firefly, pop/pop/fireball combo, a raider mag dumping me from 10m) and it just doesn't do the thing.

i know it's a bug (i'd call it a regression tbh), and as someone who does software development, i'm guessing it's probably triaged pretty low, but damn if it ain't annoying having to unlearn 6 months of muscle memory about "i can use quick-use items quickly" into "i can use quick-use items after a delay." i imagine it's even worse for streamers or youtubers who do this for like 6+ hours a day.
