Arc Raiders

I need to be better about recognizing free kit. They are the worst and really imo shouldn't be a thing unless you can prove you're just an inept 11 year old. Certainly who I'll start kos when I get bored and want to go full pvp.

Did a hurricane map, was hiding from a sniper turret, dude dressed like an astronaut starts shooting at me but misses, I shoot him and he runs away then gets downed by the sniper. Then a rolling arc attacks me, then I finish the guy off. But then I realized he may have been shooting at the arc and not me

He was a free kit, so a coin flip I guess since they tend to be the most untrustworthy. Hope I don’t end up in the PK queue now lol

It takes more than one kill to get into the PK side. It's a sliding scale. You have to build up to it.

If Utnayan doesnt need, anyone need tempest BP

My friend bought me this game 3 weeks ago, even though I really didn't want to play it. I'm just too old for getting my ass kicked and gear taken in PVP. It does not appeal to me at all these days. I said fuck it, I'll at least do the tutorial and check it out. I've put 60 hours into the game already. I'm cracked out on this game in a way I haven't been in a long time. Really fun gameplay loop and it seems, for the most part, that by not setting out to murder players puts me in lobbies of like-minded pussies.

My only complaint about this game is that whenever I set out with a goal in mind, I just end up looting everything in sight and not accomplishing my goal since I find some shit I want to keep and have to evac. I guess that's not really a complaint about the game, but about my brain.

Nothing wrong with looting everything in sight, might be a bit slower unlocking everything but by the time you possibly start a new wipe, youll be in the swing. Try not to get stuck just playing dam or something, in particular if you can nut up and not die to silly arc, stella will get you a ton of materials you need. If you can avoid pvp for several games you start to get more pve lobbies if you enjoy care bearing. I'm just playing other things waiting for new stuff, otherwise I would be doing my sniper griefer arc out of boredom.

If you need anything/want a veteran hand getting anything/learning. Utnayan probably would pop on, or I can if I'm not busy weekends/evenings.

I'll give it to Arc that they make this process really.. approachable? Green shields are easily craftable through Rooster autoloot, along with Looting? Augment. But also they're incredibly cheap, about 2k for a greenshield and 2k for a green augment.

While i know that doesn't fit your problem specifically, really once you figure out that things like a blueprint is 5k.. or some of the Luxury items stack up higher than 10k; which you can butt.. then blueshields below 50% breakdown into 1k, blueshields above 50% sell more than 1k. Freekits are incredibly potent. Essentially focus your rooster upgrades, sprinkle everything.. can literally run greenkits and free kits and compete to any degree.. the carrot of high end gear is kinda meh. Personally Berletta 1 is perfectly fine over a Berletta 4.. If you position well, using a Toro 1 works.. only guns I force upgrade is a Ferro to 4; upgrades dont increase damage.. I'm out here selling Bobcats and Tempests because it's money.

Plus, it'll lean you into PvE lobbies if you keep to diplomacy and talk first. Once you get into PvE lobbies, people run purples constantly I feel. One of the guys I watched, was farming PvE lobbies by going up the elevators shafts with the push mine, blowing them off the zip to fall to their death and then preventing them from escaping.. and grabbing their loot. Since no shot was fired, he never left PvE lobbies; not sure if fixed lol.
