Arc Raiders

What games are you playing that sound better than Arc Raiders, please point me toward them.

Specifically referring to positional audio? The Cycle: Frontier, which was exceptional. The Battlefield games gave me more positional audio information than Arc Raiders. My most common squad partner says he prefers Counterstrike and Hunt: Showdowns, though I do not play either.

Again, I am not talking about audio in general, and with practice I've learned to make it work. A lot of turning the camera back and forth to get the correct specific direction instead of 'thataway'. Also, sound cues as refers to elevation are not as good. I haven't played Tarkov in forever so I can not speak to it specifically. Other than that though, I am a glutton for extraction games and this one's audio in the genre is mid. Its not bad nor the worst, but after all the hype and glazing and how glowingly people spoke of 'The Finals' (which I have not played) I perhaps was guilty of expecting more, especially as the tech exists in other games. What this game is, is a good entry into the extraction genre. Its not super punishing with gear loss. Its not super 'deep knowledge' based like Tarkov. It rewards skilled gameplay but doesn't feel super sweaty compared to some others, and I think that is by design.

Cosmetics in this game need serious work btw. Not being able to mix and match hats with different outfits? Come on now. Give me more incentive to buy shit so I can mix and match it.

Lastly, do we need to set up a gear and blueprint exchange? I am starting to fill up on blueprints and am running out of people who I play with regularly to pass them to.

Single bingest complaint right now. Mid raid spawning. Apparently intended. Just fucking gay, plenty of people as is at a start, I'd said I wanted less. Late raid just fucks new spawners and the existing people as well that suddenly have geared people hungry for loot thats been picked up.

Crazy that you've had a chill experience on Blue Gate, it's been nothing but PVP for me as people are fighting over the olive grove to upgrade their chickens.

3 Raids there today, seeing like 10 a match, all running around care bear mode. Hell even night on spaceport.

I had to quick afk in game and my teams ran like 100m ahead. Came back and saw them being gunned down by 6 dudes from a distance. my guess they must had emote 'team up' but think I will call it a day

I decided to do one more run after getting betrayed and losing my uber shit.

I went all out -- crafted heavy armor, upgraded my new Anvil to IV, made three Vita shots, etc., etc. I was ready to go.

I make it throughout the entire raid and 20 yards from the extraction point until an asshole has one of those rocket chucking fuckers chasing him. Normally not a huge issue, but he comes and stands right next to me and the rocket meant for him downs us both.

Fuck this game.

I had the blueprint for the epic assault rifle in my safe slot, but I really couldn't care less.
