Arc Raiders

Not essential. But you might find some people trust you less in playing solos if you only use emotes and not mic.

Also so desperate to find a wolfpack blueprint - I didn't even reset and still don't have it

Go on a night raid to the ruby residence and pale apartments on dam.

I looted a dead player yesterday and they had a hull cracker (I didn't take them out) unfortunately I got taken out by a shrapnel thingie before I got to try it.
it seems the only way to get the BP for it is doing missions for the gun trader. knowing what I know now I should have spent far more time prioritising missions . the hull cracker sounds a bit of a beast but it's too expensive to buy without the BP.

I am now getting through the missions

I just saw the MASSIVE arc that stalks across the skyline on Blue Gate for the first time.

Holy ****. I hope they add that to the game. It makes the matriarch look like a wasp.

Shooting at it didn't prompt it to join the game sadly :(

I literally completed that mission yesterday for the hullcracker BP. What I really want is the Bobcat BP, then the combo of arc/player weapons are complete. Although a level 4 Stitcher is fine too with pink mods.

you don't happen to know the optimal mission path to unlock that mission do you? I just completed the espionage mission for her (put a tracker on the pistol for a rival faction) however she has not offered me another mission. as far as I can tell I am 2 or 3 missions from her off the one I need for the hull cracker BP

Quick tip for trials - gather 100 snowballs, find a good place with cover and shoot 2 of the Rocketeers thrusters off, it will fall to the ground letting you throw all your snowballs at it, easy 20k+

Bumped into another player who had also had many attempts at doing this (but other players "helpfully" finished it off) and we managed to get one down right by a metro entrance and 4 or 5 snowball spawns and some cover! Luck rather than by design.

Then some **** naded the rocketeer after speaking to us over voice to see what we were doing.
They started shooting it when they arrived, we got them to stop and told them what we were doing.
They joined and got their own three stars (I assume), then lobbed a couple of nades at the thing and dived in the metro.

Top of my trials is over 200k right now, so I'm going to have to do this again if I want to move up or stay the same rank I think.

I failed it 1st try as the Rocketeer blew itself up:/ luckily the snowballs save after extract so just went back and found another.
 
They've definitely nerfed down the blueprint drop rates again. Hardly finding any again now. Not that I need any really.

The only one I am after is a decent level 3 augment. The looting mk2 is pretty decent, the level 3 ones I have are a bit meh:

Looting Mk3 (Cautious) only light shield - so meh not really any advantage over Mk2 at all on this one........

Tactical Mk3 (Healing) 3 safe spots and medium shield is good, only 16 looting slots though - so meh

The one I am after but dont have teh BP:

Looting Mk3 (Survivor) is the one I am after, 3 safe spots, plenty of looting spots and medium shield, nice all round balance there.

I do think they need to buff the Mk3 augments a little though, the looting Mk2 is really pretty decent generally, particularly as it has the 3x trinket augmented slots thats effectively 3 more looting spots, 2 safe spots already the only downside is light shield only, but honestly thats almost good as most of the level 3 augments when you balance out all the pros and cons of each.
 
So i have a quest to destroy a leaper which ive killed with other players many times, but will not progress the quest.
I have obtained the Leaper Pulse Unit for the " Obtain Leaper Pulse Unit" which is ticked off as completed but no matter how many times i kill a leaper it wil not progress the "Destroy a Leaper" part any ideas?

You usually need to get the last hit and the 'destroyed arc' yellow exp box to appear on your screen for kill xyz quests/achievements.
That is to say, contributing to the kill isn't enough.


But I wouldn't completely rule it out as being bugged. So much is.

Yeah, you need the final shot. On Dam there is a building by the Water Treatment extract, and there is usually a Leaper near by, aggro it, leg it to the building and you have excellent cover to take one down.

You can sometimes get the leaper on Blue Gate in the village area to jump into the fort tower by sitting in the tower and shooting it - it then gets trapped and is an easy kill.

You can also lure it into the Plaza Rosa (i think) exit on buried city. It falls in, gets trapped, and is an easy target for pewpew.

There's a bit of RNG with what spawns near that exit, sometimes its a bombardier, sometimes a bastion, but the leaper is the one arc you can absolutely count on to come to you with speed if you tag it. :D

Once you've pulled it and got it into the hole, even if there are other arc nearby you wont have to worry about them because of all the cover. The only problem is that because its an exit someone else might get the last hit. Using a few grenades once its on fire is your best bet.

Or you could take off, nuke the entire site from orbit. Its the only way to be sure.
 
Take two fire grenades and a hullcracker for a leaper. Just keep in mind that once it's on fire, it's on fire. Throwing the second fire grenade at it won't kill it quicker. You'll know when the first one has finished burning as you'll get a ton of XP pop up. Then use the second one. Use the hullcracker whilst it's burning to really hammer it.

The one in Olive Grove on Blue Gate is by far the easiest, as the houses provide excellent cover and it physically can't get you.

Plus most of the time all the other players there are just after fruit so will generally leave you alone to get on with it.

Occasionally a bombardier will spawn instead, if it does you'll see its spotters from a mile off so just extract and try again.

Complete the missions for Celeste. Once you've done the flag one, the hullcracker BP one from TW will unlock as a mission.
