Arc Raiders

I wouldn't even bother with that map unless you have had a 5 game run with no agro so the algorithm kicks in and puts you on a friendlier server. It's a tight map and difficult to travel across without getting agro.

We were in a group of three last night, carebear lobbies, clearly loads of plastered people about as there was so much singing and dicking about, it was great. Until we tried to get to a locked room on Dam and found a trio of rats who ended our shenanigans. I feel tonight is gonna be a bit of retribution.

It's credits, I'm not sure if it factors in the value of the stash, but you lose all that anyway. Keep in mind it was $1m increments last time, up to $5m. Each million got you a skill point and a few extra inventory slots. There's no telling what the requirement will be for the second reset yet, I suspect it might be a bit more or even double.

It doesn't reset any of the other items. You lose stash, skill points reset, quests, benches, and blueprints. There are many requests for raiders to be able to hold on to one blueprint each reset, dunno if that's gained any traction though.

Thank you.

Just watched a YT vid and it says combined stash of currency and stash value so will see what happens when it hits

For the last expedition it was 1million coins per skill point. This did take into account your stash value, which was shown to you once the expedition window started (the window was open 11 days iirc).

Embark have highlighted two reasons why they don't like this method of expedition.

The first is because it caused people to start hoarding so they intend to move away from a straight coins/stash value to skill points conversion.

The second reason they don't want to keep the currency and stash requirement for skill points is that it was entirely optional, but people assumed it was essential and either went for the complete 5mil, or didn't bother with the expedition.

To clarify, you can contribute as much or as little as you want and still complete the expedition and get a new character and all the other rewards for completing it.
The only thing that requires a specific currency value (including stash) is the additional skill points.
You can reset and contribute zero and still got the other rewards.

So if you have no currency for example (and zero stash value) you would still get all the other rewards, just not the extra skill points.

Likewise 1 million would get you one skill point plus the other expedition rewards, but you could still complete the expedition.

Embark have not said whether they'll have the coin/stash value to skill point conversion this coming expedition or not, nor have they said what they intend to replace it with in the future.
But they have said they intend to move away from it.

Last time we didn't find out about the details of the expedition until very late, which embark said was down to them seeing what the state of the player base was before setting possible targets.

I just hope they don't make it harder. I will have the 5 mil to do it this time.. I didn't last time so if the requirements are different in such a way that I don't qualify for the full amount it will feel a bit like pulling the ladder up after some have got the points.

Why is it you see a million leapers until you actually need to?
Click to expand...
it's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife (or something like that)

why is it I managed half a dozen runes without PvP and then the 1 time I just actually went in with valuable gear (and my last game of the day) and I got ratted by a camper on extraction .

With the trials is there anything special to complete these?

Been trying to do the harvest 1 all morning, 4 rounds on night burid city and 2 and spaceport night raid and still sitting on just before the 4k needed to cplete.

Seems like its never moving

You can view your progress in-game, just open up the options menu and go to the quests bit, the trials are on the right.

Tons of rat activity last night, even when calling friendly. I think peeps are getting sick of looking for stuff and are instead just killing other for it.




//Has anyone actually seen the 2021 reveal trailer for Arc? It's actually really good:

Head to dam during an electrical storm.

Loot moss from the domes, then run around the swampy area in a circle for great mullein on the banks of the watery areas, particularly the streams that feed the swamps (follow the streams to their source) and around the old battleground area.
You'll also see mushrooms on fallen trees and great mullein and mushrooms (occasionally) in one of the domes in the watery bit.

There are also some great mullein around red lake near the spillway lanes.

You can get 15/20k this way if you spend a round doing it solo. More if grouped and you all focus on searching different areas.

If you just want the three stars then it shouldn't take long. Hardest part is waiting for elec storms on dam.

I should probably pop these suggestions over to Embark, but a few ideas:

Parachute
Jump boots
Huge floodlight

These can all be handheld items, and would add a bit more to the game I reckon.

I did this but it does not seem to make any difference on the progress.

I used the galleria on night raid for buried city and the area between the 4 launch areas and towards the end on the right as well.

Ill give dam a try.

Galleria used to be great, every single potter filled, but I think they nerfed the spawn rate in there.

You still get lots, but I havent seen it packed like it used to be.

If you circle around the edge of the map you'll find great mullein and agave you can harvest in any area with trees as well.
There's an area at Outskirts near Merano station that has lots of great mullein, top left of map.
And of course there's quite a few spawns in the Park if you're careful.
The bottom floor of Research on the corner facing the park there are usually a few spawns in planters similar to Galleria (but much less) this has also been nerfed tho.

I got 20k on buried city on a night raid but that was with another person and we were each making a sweep in opposite directions around the map.

It should be straight forward to get three stars solo, but it does depend on if anyone else is chasing the same loot and if you have to worry about PvP or not.

Theres also some great mullein near Grandioso apartments, by the flooded solar panels, around the edge of the water.

I know I've missed places, but that lot should do three stars if it's easier to go buried city night raid.
