I enjoy my time killing other people, but pvebabs will leave this game eventually once they get sick of doing nothing but coop looting. They also poison the minds of new players into thinking that PVP is annudah shoah.

>People who pvp and rat should be seeded into PVEbab lobbies to keep things interesting
i pvp heavily in trios and this is exactly what happens when i go back to playing solos, sometimes the game throws a curveball and puts you in a friendly lobby because embarks favorite game is amongus
except that im not a jeet burnt out on dopamine that gets his jollies from shooting chungarthans in the back, also the lobby will most likely band together and assrape you
sorry that you're not good enough to pvp in the pvp game
>>
>>
>>555812631
Why are you larping pvebab? I am fine with PVP lobbies they're much more fun gameplay wise than shooting redditors, but pvebabs ruin the culture of the game and embark being sw*des will eventually only cater to them and ruin the game.

>>555813210
I really don't get why people keep spouting shit about PVP when the game has barely any at all, most of this "pvp" is actually PK not PVP.
PVP is like tarkov or arena breakout where people is ready to kill each other and work with such in mind, and where the game is balanced based with pvp in mind, has skill or elo/ranked matchmaking and etc.
But player kill is just someone ganking/ambushing someone unprepared and feeling good about killing them, no skill, no challenge, 95% of the time is someone killing a guy who's just passing by or heard a "don't shoot" and the nigger goes and shoot you in the back anyway.
>>
>>555813759
Can I see something showing that? That youtuber posted in the last thread could only see what weapon and utility they were currently holding. I didn't see any information about value or inventories, only things you would be able to see visually if you ran up to them (still busted, but not the point). It's simple enough to assume someone holding a bobcat 4 probably has good shit on them.
I still don't even understand what EAC is even for. In every single game that has EAC there are a littany of cheaters. Cheating is so rampant these days and devs seem to have just given up actually trying to devote resources to stopping it. I know it's probably a herculean task considering there are hundreds of thousands of cheaters constantly changing their cheating methods and innovating to get passed detection, but there has to be some way to prevent cheating.
We have youtubers using AI programs to detect cheaters by examining footage and you're telling me a company making millions of dollars can't just do that? Are you telling me Sweden is literally so cucked they legally are not allowed to ban people who cheat for "consumer protection," that's like not sending criminal illegally immigrated muslims to jail...oh wait lmao. SWEDEN YES

I've started just watching stream vods instead of actually playing. The game is just boring and shitty as a solo. At least if you have friends who own the game you can just treat the game like friendslop.

I've been playing on friendly servers, because I am trying to get some arc loot. Very chill and also lots of fun, raiders helping each other out.
Today I was on Dam Battlegrounds near the Pipeline Tower, when I hear a player greeting another player and then getting instantly gunned down.
I am just above this two players and the rat didn't notice me, so I waited for him to come and loot the downed guy, who was in my sights. The rat comes and I hit him with the ferro straight in the head, but unfortunately missed the second shot, because I hit a damn railing. The downed guy bleeds out, but I proceed to wait for 3 minutes, because I know that the rat will want to check out his kill. This time I was in a better position, so both of my shots land and the rat dies.
Total rat death bros, felt good, worth it, even if I get placed to more aggressive servers now.

did they slightly change matchmaking after the last patch?

>>
>>555841383
it does feel like they are messing with the matchmaking sometimes
that or the game is actually dying and just running out of people to throw into friendly lobbies
I went from friendly lobbies
equipped a purple attachment, suddenly people begging I don't shoot them and everyone shouting friendly over mic, then shot in the back for 0 reason
then back to friendly lobbies after removing the purple attachment
so could be your gear too

Believe him, I've been caught in the same situation. I usually run to defib but if they die before I get there I am going to loot, and usually other people with the same idea arrive around the same time.
>>
>>555843926
sounds reasonable
had a similar situation but the guy knocked the guy out and I had to enact justice
when and checked out my kill and there was a 2nd dead guy he had already murdered, which made sense considering I heard a flare randomly minutes before that
>>
There is definitely some weapon based MM. To test this I went into matriarch lobbies with just a burletta. Each time I was placed into lobbies with other green-tier and below weapons. I went back to equalizer and suddenly my lobbies have equal amounts of other raiders with Hullcrackers/legendary guns.
>>555844382
You think the guy surrendered with all his goop, not 20-30 seconds after being downed? I don't. The matriarch may have downed him but I think the other raider finished him off. I've seen it before, it's happened to me. Anyway, you shouldn't go and loot the body right away. To me it just looks like you're a rat bastard no matter what you say.
Also yeah I killed him on the spot lol, didn't have any defibs on him

Buried city is my go-to. Hit the galleria first and if it's already done extract. After that, hit the park next to it and then near the standing water next to the big apartments. After those are done, just go around the edge of the map. Use a map and go to the spawns for mullein and agave if you aren't, it's pretty much required.

>>
>>555849261
well since its going to be your primary the unequip equip time isnt a problem youd really only switch to stitcher once your durability is low maybe like 10 dur left so that you can still use it at extract for any extra points. and while it can take some time ammo for the sticher is resupplied by all the wasps your killing
>>
>>
>>555849261
>>555849993
forgot to add same with the seeker nades i had like 4 cores left especially since i picked up 3 from snitchers that came near me. but i would chuck a core infront of me while heading towards extract then use the nades to keep moving so i wouldnt have to stop to shoot. i did use a few in emergency when some wasps and hornets spawned on me while the ones from core spawned.

The general quality to game quality is arguably one of the worst on /vg/.
I understand dogshit games = dogshit threads generally, but this is a pretty good game and yet might as well just be a porn gacha thread
Guessing its because of all the underages in here
>>
>>555857109
yes. if you hold E to knock out a raider even though you did nothing to down them, it accrues negative karma for your matchmaking making you more susceptible to be put in chud pvp lobbies. searching dead raiders even if you a chungarthian also adds negative karma
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>555858975
Obviously you did, by backstabbing, which does not take skill. Of course, you are completely allowed to do that, (What kind of retard shares a purple key anyway? Deserved death) but it says nothing about anyone's pvp skill

The whole point of the solos vs trios thing was (albeit clunkily) outlined in the promo trailer: for the thrill of the hunt. It's probably your easiest ticket out of Chungartha without having to club baby seals who are looting a breach locker after noticing you and saying hello.

How do you guys do it? I've seen a lot of post on various Arc Raider subreddits where people laugh off/have a funning one-liner ready to go when getting shot and knocked out by other players.
I know fighting each other as well as the Arcs is the main feature of the game but I've never drawn my weapon on another player. I do my best to help people I see that are crawling or take hits. I carry defibs, shield rechargers and lots of healing. I'm active on voice and ask if people need heals. I offer any stacks of resupply stuff that I find scavenging. I know I'm preaching to a choir about this stuff but...
It always pisses me off that even when I help people or keep a train/air shaft or hatch open for others to have a quick exfil without waiting, I get the shit kicked out of me. I got knocked 3 matches in a row. I lost the only snap hook I had in the first and got demolished when I tried to go find a blueprint to craft another one. Literally someone gatekeeping the Water Treatment locked room during the electromagnetic storm in the dam when they didn't have a key. I know it's supposed to happen in the game but every time it gets to me.

But they nerfed the loot of rocketeers just like queens and matriarchs, other parts besides the big one in the middle had rocketeer drivers in the past, now none of them have it. Not always, but every now and then. I only got 1 rocketeer driver per rocketeer.
Great patch.

Riveting gameplay. Nobody got anything in that lobby and everyone just kept spawning in with peashooters. Not sure how people get anything from those events in those lobbies.
They probably just go into pacifist lobbies to get loot from the queen or matriarch.

So, raider, in case you haven't noticed the arc enemies are very tough and we need every man topside. Even if you're against our terminology. It's actually extremely based to pretend be in a game, like an extremely faggy fairy. You know. It's very redpilled and not pathetic at all. We manly chads on 4chan and reddit do it all the time. Only newfags don't do it, because they're just not as cool as we are.
>>
>>555904275
Agree
Thing is, if you play the game where you are not the aggressor and just klill people in self defense, you are gonna get the best experience (the one you actually need, not the one you think you want) because it's gonna put you in mixed lobbies, where you get the excitement of being in constant danger potentially but also a chance you'll be just fine.
People who want to play this game as a total death pvp shitshow are fine by me, so are the people who want to play bambi chungartha lobbies, but THE best experience in this game is when you get lobbies from killing people in self defense. There is no joy in predictability (unless you are autistic or a coward)

Problem is actual mixed lobbies are far and few between, I honestly partly blame raider flares. I think they're just overall a shit mechanic, encourage third partying, and basically set the tone of a lobby

They should do away with weapon "rarities" and just have them all unlocked and craftable from the start. They do need some balancing though since the stitcher and venator are insanely OP for how easy they are to make/use.

Obviously has shitty loot like a broken rocketeer driver instead of a purple one. This variant is sluggishly moving around and missing shots or a brand new one, better armored which is fatter, way more aggressive and shoots faster but also has more drivers.

I haven't seen massacres of pacifist lobbies by pvp players yet. Are the pvp players scared of the pve players or what?

Can't be that hard unless you're really bad at the game like most pvp players usually are.

I don't care if i get in to a late lobby, I play out all my games to the last minute usually. I've never spawned in to a game and gone straight to extract, there's no game where 100% of containers have been opened, and all arc respawn minus queen/matriarch. A lot of my best interactions have been the last 2 minutes when arc spawn faster and the sky color changes, the rumbling, it's awesome!

Pulling out a gun near other players adds negative karma. Shooting in their general direction even if you hit arc enemies adds negative karma.

A ferro with 120 shots is more than enough to help with the matriarch. I've had enough of people either doing nothing and taking all the loot and killing me for my weapons. One guy killed me even for my anvil. Lost hullcrackers and other stuff beforehand. I'm only bringing a ferro to those events now.
People stopped bringing defibs too. So I'm just taking other people's shit. Doesn't feel that bad if you lose their stuff

She's trying to blind you which she often does when she's targeting players that are close to her, sucks that nobody was helping you. And so she did.

use 2 of them at a time, as each spawns 2
you can use 3 at a time if you're a good shot
iirc max was 5 before no new mobs spawned from simultaneous throws

The devs said they can track who shoots first, but the system cannot discern intent. Meaning: if player A shoots player B and player B is able to not die and kill player A in self-defense, player B's social credit is not affect. But say player C witnesses player A betrays player B at extract, for example, and player C downs player A, then player C will take a hit to his social credit

Don't be obtuse, you know what I mean. The ARCs need to eat (batteries, fuel, nourishment) and poop (waste, ARC alloy, item drops) but we never see them do either on their own. Where are they getting their energy? Where are they getting their funding? Where do they come from? What more do they want? What more are they hiding? Swede devs won't tell us and probably don't know themselves.

Beretta is a quest reward and can only be acquired through that. Anvil can be found from any weapons case or raiders cache/camp.
In my opinion, do not try and go farm for these blueprints, there's a huge community of traders and you can probably get what you want for seeds/bps/guns.

I have only been playing for about a month now and I am $2 million away from the 5 million for my expedition points. Has there been any word on this expedition reward? Will I get the cool skin? Do you start the game out with or was that the only for the people that did the first expedition.
>>
>>555973004
They're hinting that the 5 million won't even be a thing, because it was pretty poorly received and went against the whole concept behind the game. As for the reward no, they didn't tell us until commitment week last time, and yes, it was -sort of- the skin you start with in the tutorial. Except they made it worse looking and kinda gay with extremely limited options.

Locked gate event on The Blue Gate. You don't need to actually go into the gate itself to find it, you can find it anywhere on the map as long as the event is active. (I got it like four or five times and only two of them were in the gate itself)

I think both can be right. Having ONLY pvp can be boring but it requires you to make your own fun. I mostly play with PVE type lobbies and act as a gift giver/trader and it's so fun. During the tests I would literally walk the map and heal people.
The PVP was more compelling during the tests when there was more back and forth in the combat. Now it's mostly the person who rushes/gets the first shot wins.

>>555986352
the problem with trying to enforce more mixed lobbies is that gear balance is gigafucked, with very low TTKs allowing no time for "normal" players to disengage/reset and attempt to either counterattack or escape
due to the low TTKs, the objectively correct strategy is being a rat nigger camper
you can only have so many of those in every round before everyone either starts doing the same thing, or just stops playing
the ABMM is the only reason this game is still alive because you cannot solve the rat nigger camper problem until gear is actually balanced in a non full-retard way, and every time the devs open their mouths to say something about balance, they look more and more retarded

I fully believe 1v3 mode is a step towards correcting this, and will eventually become mandatory
in 1v1, ganking wins every time
in 1v3, ganking isn't safe and camping a loot spot will eventually get you obliterated by a trio

I think I've only ever killed these assholes if I was lucky or had a Wolfpack or if someone randomly helped me. How do I reliably solo them? Is a Hullcracker going to work?
>>
>>
>>555990358
don't listen to the other anon, they just balanced the hullcracker
basically what I do solo, is find a room with 2 doors
the building near pilgrims peak on Blue Gate
the small above stair area on the building I think south of Galleria on Ruined City
basically just going back and forth between both doors and hiding inside to avoid rockets
the building on dam battlegrounds don't work because they can shoot through the windows

>>555990358

shooting directly in the center works too, it has a core there if you pop off its front plate which takes like 2 shots

Kills them faster than any other gun. Only thing kills the faster is wolfpacks. You need something with range to pull them to you though. I use Jupiter just because it'd ammo is cheaper and it's easier to aim.

Venator and Toro are king and have been king, greys are still overtuned but are outshined by those guns. Really it's been talked to death but the main issue is still the cost effectiveness of greys, like they could def use some touchups (for example, why the fuck do they all have 2.5x hs multiplier) but why do they loss durability so slowly while also being cheap to repair.

>chungartha boss ARC lobbies are chill as fuck
right... the moment you kill any boss a thousand faggots start rushing down the arc to loot it because they feel like they contributed by plinking it with a ferro while you deadlined it.
The only time I will kill in chungartha is if I see a human vacuum approach with zero weapons or a freekit to my bosses or loot rooms.
>>
>>
>>555997468
thats desync, on the other guys screen you were a little to your right hence the blood spray
and like another anon said its 9 pellets so if you have low shields already the pellets will hit your shield until it breaks then the rest of the pellets will do full damage to your health thats how its calculated rather than your shield counting it as a single hit
on top of that the toro is strong as shit dont underestimate the range on it

If you loot a room someone else is in (especially a popular one), then you absolutely deserve what's coming to you. Mind you, the only people who say "Oh hey didn't know you where here already, I'll be on my way." are accent-less people. The best way for a cat to stop jumping on a hot stove is for it to get burned once. These people need to follow the unspoken rules of Chungartha, and the best reminder is me shooting you in the face and you losing your tier IV weapons because you didn't have an ounce of common sense.
Acting like Chungarthans are everyone for themselves rats is fucking gay. People deserve to be executed for leeching matriarch cores or running into harvester with nothing on waiting for the puzzle to complete so they can steal the BPs.

Question about the trial's end timer. There's about 5 min left for current trials. Is that for someone to start a raid that still qualifies for the current trials? I assume so but I'm just gonna leave it be. I don't feel like pushing myself for a new personal best and have it not count or not even be sure if it counted. I'll just wait it out and wait for new trials to start I guess. I feel like it would have been fine--kind of like how you can start a new Night Raid at even one second left because of course, why wouldn't you be able to--but this feels different. Like people are gonna see results right when the countdown ends so how could a 30min match still be going and counting? Never mind I just got my answer. Trials ended and it says New trials will be available soon with a countdown to Results of an hour...so I could have started one last raid and used the whole raid time. In case anyone was wondering the same

To go from daredevil III to hotshot you have to be in top 30 on the leaderboard and I was #24 with 122k points but I only did the trials as solo. I don't remember what scores were at the top but easily 175-200k at the very top.

my experience with daredevil, is the bottom 30 usually not having done all 5 trials 3* meaning less than 20k score
but as we've been getting later in the season those people are getting weeded out, seems like its still people who either don't do all the trials, or you have to farm a little extra

After you're knocked out the game likes to display snarky fucking little title cards that mock you right in the moment you're most frustrated. It's easily my least favorite part of this game.

hate this shit, I'm probably doing something wrong and aiming too high, I'm guessing you have to aim it under them so the gas bounces around, or that back button is really that senstive damage, those are my guesses

I was yelling "FUCK' over and over again earlier, because I fucked up my wasp trial by like 1 second when i could have extracted like 2min earlier but got greedy

I'm wondering is it better to try and do the trials early before everyone else but then risk being put on sweaty leader boards or wait but then have to deal with everyone trying to do trials and not getting max points.

Try throwing them BELOW the rocketeer so most seekers go into the core, which more often than not is a kill, or makes it burning which takes a pair of shots, or in the worst case a cylinder of anvil to finish it.
I can't believe people fuck up in using tools that AIM FOR YOU.

How do people realistically get so many trials points? I've gotten to Daredevil 1 mostly just solo, with some help from friends when they play. But I just don't see how there are people getting 70+k points when there are times I can't even break 12k points even if I have a "perfect" round of point collecting and manage to get out.
I can spend literally as long as possible collecting plants for example and I only get 8-10 +/- thousand points. Yet theres dudes at the top getting 100k points, wtf?

depends on the trial, this guy is good for knowing what the max solo scores are

some trials are Trio-able, some aren't like I assume the plants one you can't get triple score for
but you can for Arc Probe one if all 3 people search the same probe

Take it down a notch Martha. Maybe Anon is new. Maybe Anon doesnt know how to search past generals. Maybe Anon is concerned with the most up to date data, and is blissfully unaware that Devs are Swedish cucks that are perpetually on winter (too progressive to celebrate Christmas) break.
Try not to get your panties in a bunch.

Grays, greens, blues are pretty good. Anything else is for funseez or very specific goals.

They weren't white, Anon. I always carry defibs. Raider is more important than loot. Sorry I wasn't there to assist.

I keep seeing clips where people just quick swapping a hook or kinetic converter from their safe pocket. Embark should absolutely fix this fucking garbage. These 2 items giving a player massive advantage. There SHOULD be a risk losing them.

Bird City can spawn high value items, and Buried city in general is pretty generous with trinkets
if you're up for the challenge Stella's exclusive loot is usually all worth 3k a piece minimum and purples items are pretty common to
