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.

Some real loser talk for anything past like the first week of play. And money? What good is money when in a month youll have millions to do nothing with. And after the latest changes, the higher end guns have some real purpose. Ferro? Zero reason not to always use at least an anvil better in every way and not really much more expensive. I think the only thing thats changed much is little more slow farming the bigger arc for endless materials to always run lv 4 blue guns as easily. Other ways around using wolf/trails, but changing up between green/blue/purple I've never really worried about running low on stuff. Can do matriarch runs not for her parts but try and scoop all the dead rocketeer/bastion loot that often untouched.

Speaking of rocketeers takes a little skill to zap the right area but one hornet driver can kill them right now.

Don't you sayin nothin bad about my ferro, absolutely goated gun.. it has so much stopping power.. hit someone with it, and they're scrambling what to do next.. I do want to like the Anvil, but i've waxed more people consistently with a Ferro/Berletta or Ferro/Toro than any other combo in the game. I don't sell my Anvils if that makes you feel better. Really only sell Tempest, Bobcats, Volcanos, Belatina, and Torrentes.. esp if they're under 3.. Either way, I have no problems in PvP; it's all I do in that game.. I hardly kill arc. I would sooner run and hide, then use them to fight with me.

Bobcat and Tempest are decent guns though; not saying they're bad.. Belatina still sucks ass and I don't know why you'd use a volcano over a toro.

The money is purely talking to someone who is gearfearing and/or new, when the loop isn't nearly as bad.. you log 50hrs into the game a lot of that shit is become basic but when you're new; losing greens might come off as daunting when its really not, esp when extracted value can double, triple, or quadruple based off the value you can take out.

As far as free kits go, it's the only sorta rush I can get out of this game lol. I spent all last expedition Stella Montis free kitting and finished with 14m raw credits. Most fights are won by positioning because of how powerful third person is, but brute forcing is easier the more utility you have and immediate fire power. I'm at the point where i'm debating Rattler only gameplay for awhile.

Literally same damage as the anvil.

Toro indeed amazing but probably getting nerfed soon. Just traded for the choke 3 today need to raid stella for tears.

First few months, purples indeed were a liability, but tempest/bobcat probably the best 2 right now, bettina trash yes sell, and the volcano is... probably worth selling if you miss a lot better than toro. No one runs torrente just about.

Say trying to talk them out of gear fear, but that's why they should use the better guns, because now they do have an advantage where they didnt before. Fresh account, first few weeks if you havn't maxed your hideout and are under a million, yeah vendor fodder, but as soon as your established no reason not to use.

A better rush, zero to hero and go in naked, Still got a free pocket, and more interesting trying to kill someone with one mag off a gray gun you found and a couple crude explosive.
