Arc Raiders

I've found it balanced, with a side of chaos that keeps it interesting.
personally i've not found the ABMM balanced at all - it's either carebear lobbies or full on wannabe rambo-rats with no inbetween
They're still easy to kill. I don't know when it changed, but they started doing that weird thing where if you shoot them from miles away they take an age to get to you and start blasting you. Rather than zooming over and obliterating you.

That made them much easier to kill than they were before whenever that change happened.

Horrible in the open ofc. But I'm talking cover and time to target two thrusters. Even with medium ammo which I use predominantly these days.
yea, rocketeers aren't really an issue anymore unless you get caught out in the open. used to be they'd be on you like a dart if you took a pop, now i tend to light them up just for something to do/lols - and as you say, if engaged at distance to begin with they end up swallowing at least a dozen rounds before they come pottering over :p
 
I like the changes to the crafting requirements, especially the Wolfpack, it was far too cheap to craft given it's utility & power. I'm glad they went with making it harder to craft as opposed to a nerf of the WP itself.
I'm sure there will be increased competition for the drivers now, and I don't mind that either, for the last few weeks I've barely bothered looting big ARC I've downed as a lack of stash space meant I would almost always just sell for (increasingly useless) cash. Queens & Matriarchs were still looted of course.

Husk Graveyard could become a decent farm for rocketeer drivers :)

I like that some of this stuff matters now beyond crafting benches, Expeditions or Projects. I'll have an hour or two later to check out the new ARC & Hurricane condition.

Just about hanging in for Hotshot, did not really try with Ticks, and could not beat 4k on Matriarch. Can't face another attempt, so I guess I'll see in the morning.
 
do the last few hrs normally have a massive boost?
I am trying to get to daredevil 1 currently with 26k. right now the entry level to promotion is 20k so I think I am probably safe.
