Arc Raiders

It’s just about being smart, I got shot in the back twice yesterday while doing my own thing, one was a free loadout and I’d got nothing of value so didn’t care. The other I’d just downed a bastion, had loads of loot but put what I needed in safe pockets.

Best game of the evening was with a mate and a random and we were on Stella. One of us died to room campers, so we pushed them back into a stairwell, we then started getting hit from behind so we decided to try and get the two parties to hit each other by opening a door and hiding under the stairs. Worked a treat, they took each other out and we finished off who was left. There were about 7 bodies in the stairwell… while we were looting we got ambushed by a squad and died but it didn’t matter it was so funny.
 
Possibly one PVP solution could be an Arc Synth enemy played by humans, or two Raider factions where you can easily identify the enemy.

That way at least removes some ambiguity from interactions.

An Arc Synth player wouldn't even be able to communicate with the raider players - you could scramble the voice comms and make it robotic.

Probably loads of issues with this but it's interesting to think about.

looking forward to seeing what wave 3 looks like, humanoid synths would be terrifying. not that this game isnt hair raising enough as it currently stands, imaging being stalked.

And of course we know that humanoid synths and robots exist in the Arc Raiders universe. Lance is a synth and you find loads of humanoid robots in Stella Montis.
 
Installed today.
Managed to do two starter missions with minimal upset (friendly players).

Will see if I get the chance to put some time into it.
 
Not sure if its just a coincidence or not.

Last night I did about 20 runs.
10 Cross play
10 xbox players only.

Didn't get killed once during xbox only games.
In fact most games there would be a few of us helping each other out.

Crossplay I was attacked at least every other game.

This was all playing solo's.


Like I said might just have been a coincidence.
 
had a awesome solo run last night, took out a bombardier and got 7 of the 6 items i needed to upgrade the bench, then encountered a leaper and got the last part for another bench and in another game i got sentinel cores, so i got the last 3 benches maxed out :)

got some blue prints as well.

Loving this game so far.

Had a few runs tonight. One of them, a guy claimed he was new, so dropped a few things I didn't need for him after chatting for around 2 mins. As I was dropping more for him, he proceeded to shoot me and kill me.

Last run of the night, had a load of loot, got to the extraction with 1min left, elevator came, saw another raider who said 'don't shoot', which we didn't. As soon as we moved towards the elevator, one guy started to shoot and downed me and was trading with the other.

I managed to hit the button and locked both of them out, kinda felt bad for the other person, but I needed the goop!
 
yeh came across a guy earleir in buried city at the subway waiting on extraction i said dont shoot and aproached slowly, he stood there for about 10 seconds before unloading a full clip at point blank range... lesson learned lol

he probably killed half the server that way :P
 
Still on the fence whether to get in on this. Looks kinda cool but I've never really got into a 3rd person shooter, at least on KB/M.... I enjoy some (GTA etc) on a controller, but assume that would just make me a punching bag :D

I'm enjoying it so far - only came across one cheeky bugger, but so far I've only died from biting off more than I can chew.

I just need to focus on the starter missions, so I can level up...
 
dang it..... my last round about 30 secs into it had a guy shooting me from behind managed to out manuevre him then he ran right in my face and let me off load my level 4 anvil, that was satisfying especially since i had about 5% hp :)

got the quest done then got taking out by a free load extraction camper :(

would be awesome if they made it so people with free load outs couldnt damage other players and actually had to work for their ganking gear :P

I've completed most quests etc, but I'm getting a bit fed of other players just been douches! I wish it took a leaf out of Fallout 76 for PvP. If another player shoots you, they only deal minimal damage until you shoot back. Once you retaliate, full PvP damage is enabled.

that would be awesome, im sick of people doing cheap stuff :(

just doing the quests at the moment as i have finished the benches and hoping for random blue prints to drop.

might start playing the new dying light and a few other games in my back log and see what way the game goes.
 
I've had some really decent group runs, but I'm getting so tired of getting room-temp iq teammates.

:(

Having said that, it's made solo even more fun by comparison.
Still nerve wracking, and frustrating at times. But at least I've only got myself to blame when it all goes pear-shaped.
