Arc Raiders

I wonder if you could equip an alarm that sounds if there is a raider nearby? Or they could make it that as soon as you take damage you get booted from your inventory? I kinda like the gamble you take looting when other people are about though...

You could drop a noisemaker next to you whilst you are looting, a bell will ring when any raiders come close. Once you have finished looting pick it up and away you go.
 
How the **** are you supposed to dodge those new ball things?

I had one come up to me, double dodge roll, wasnt even close and the thing still wrecked my shield and half health.

dodge? you don't, either kill it or trap it behind some terrain once it's locked in. i had 3 come at me one after the other on dam, I climbed over a car once it had started its countdown to boom and sprinted off each time, that worked well.

anyone else getting crashes now? I was looting a matriarch core and it crashed, the screen froze and the game closed. I was able to reconnect but obviously wasn't able to loot an untouched core. everything ran ok for half hour then it happened again looting a piece of leg armour. this time I did loose everything. 5600x/9070/32gig fwiw. Very frustrating. I know its just a game but still.

I had a few a few weeks back both on extract and lost all gear, raised a ticket to see if theyd be kind enough to return the gear I died with(doubt it but shy bairns get nowt)
Ticket was raised on 03/02, no reposnse as yet bar "sorry for the delay" style messages once a week.

Theres 3 of us playing really and we've now 4 mules lol were well set for starting after reset banks and scrappy maxxed out day 1 and our characters set just for crafting with all the BP's.
Would love to see the roamable speranza come into it, they might then be tempted to add character interaction and that may mean....trading!

Killed 2 trying to get the quest items, but they didn't drop the bit I needed... I'm assuming its either a rare drop or they don't drop if self destruct

I was literally about to ask the same question. It's an igniter isn't it so probs gets used up. Its really hard to fnish them off before they explode themselves. There's an E interact but when you try to use it there's nothing there...

I think this is a bug? I had rhis then the wasp i tried looting immediately after just vanished infromt of me.

Farming leapers is a pain, never there when you want them. There when you dont.

It is exactly that I think, you need to destroy it before it pops to get the igniter. I got several from ones I managed to kill last night.
But I have had an unresponsive interact button before now (prior to the update as well), so I think that is pre-existing unwanted behaviour that is not fixed yet.

The explosion radius is pretty big so a dodge will never likely give you enough distance and skirting around a smaller object like you might with a Shredder isn't going to work either.
Terrain or larger objects like shipping containers work pretty well for me. Like every other clanker type, we'll all work out strategies that work for us when we have some control over the engagement, but are far less effective when we don't. These things often seem to be in packs of two or three, so I'm being extra vigilant before popping off.

I think the "attack" it does is literally identical to a shredder.
 
Apparently you are better running towards it and past it. I've not encountered one yet though as I'm mildly terrified after the new updates

I managed to hold on and get promoted to Hotshot, it does not tell you your final position, so no idea how many places I might have slipped overnight.

I quite like the upgrade to the Patchwork outfit, but it's a pity there is no option to go back to the original options.

It looks like this was a bug :D
But it should be coming after the expedition.

From the Hotfix notes:
  • Fixed some Patchwork customization items displaying before they should, it may take some time for it to take effect (note that the image of the Patchwork outfit for the second Expedition also incorrectly displayed a bandolier, which will be brought back for the third Expedition).

tested this evening, yes if you kill them they drop the core with the quest bit.
If they detonate it doesn't drop

Why done we have Arc ID's in here lol, I'm sure there's plenty junk to go around for quests n the likes

Amazing idea that, also blueprint donation/trading without feeling like you're going to be a scammed.
