Arc Raiders

Solo Xbox player in peace :) (with crossplay always on)

Has the matchmaking changed in the latest release? Took a break from it for about a week and noticed last night the matchmaking was taking a lot longer but I ended up in matches where there was absolutely zero grief
You must have accidentally enabled "Tombstone" mode in your settings ;)
 
Hi.
not sure if it's the done thing however I have a jolt mine blue print. happy to trade for any other blue print (that I don't have) - I don't have many so chances are I will need what you have spare.
am on steamdeck so not sure I can use voice Comms but am sure we can figure summat out

Is the content similar idea? Go to some place on a map, find treasure, go to a hub to extract it. Vain xp towards new skins?
sounds about right. can also find weapon upgrades and new blueprints for crafting and there is a bunch of story missions. for me in solo I would say it's about 80% friendly or neutral players

as an aside. I wish it was possible to semi revive people without a defib. in solo no one has them unless part of a free loadout (I get it neither do it). would be nice to be able to do a temp patch up, maybe giving players 5 mins to extract before they die.

in a team you would still want a defib

Turns out if you change Windows date while you are in game (to 19/12/2025) you get a total for your stash + coins.

Still a way for me to go on the expedition as I did not play much the last few days.

Well well well. Turns out they are using behaviour-matchmaking. So the stardew crowd stick with daisy picking and the pvp'ers keep killing each other.

this is why I generally don't play games like this where you can be dead within seconds. I am just not patient enough. if I have 15 mins to play I don't want to spend half of it in a queue.
 
Surely once in, you're in the world and just respawn a few seconds later but some where else?
no it doesn't work like that. if you get knocked out you lose consciousness and then wake up back at base then need to start from scratch.

I managed to find every prickly pair I needed in 1 go to upgrade my chicken ( ) but only had a free scavenger pack and got taken out on way to extract. I got over excited and came out of cover right behind an ARC patrol :(

Have you got a source for this?

Are there any details, specifics?

Like how does it work if you matching duos one one care bear and one Rambo?

How many matches do you need to be passive etc?

I've got about 90 hours in and if I'm honest I'm not sure about it, it seems very much random to me.

I would say behaviour changes more on whats going on with the game is a bigger sense, eg when they announced the £5m thing people where shooting everyone, although towards the end of this week it calmed down a bit.

But last 5 solo games I've been attacked more than once per game and I have been (trying at least) to play passive.
