AAAIEEEE YOU CAN'T SHOOT ME IN MY PVP GAME

What's the deal with the flare? Does it do anything besides letting the server know you just got your bussy pushed in?

>>545294372
not always, you act like free kits are always ideal comprehensive ones
a lot of the times you get a shitty rattler with 3 mags and some small smokes or door blocker

>>545294438
it's to attract pvp
there're also fake flares you can use as traps

we do a lil questin'

Do boss arc drop blueprints?

If you lose to freekits in your fullkit, you're dogshit

what was the point of all the kvetching about ukraine and le ghost of kyev if russian subhumans still aren't rangebanned from all online multiplayer games?

i kind of like this trials thing. i wasnt paying attention to it the first week-- are people currently maxed at rookie 3? (+2 promotions). i'm thinking it's going to get incredibly difficult as a solo after a few promotions

>something good
>brown people invade
>noo you can't speak out against it or you're racist
>thing is now bad

really can't wait for the pendulum to swing back and the genocides to begin.

>>545294224 (OP)
beautiful

>>545294943
>be on blue gate, doing literally anything
>a freekit jumps you
>you blow him (off)
>flare goes up
>2-3 freekits are plinking at you with ferros
okay dude, good luck

>>545295137
why is blue gate defined by this so much more than other maps lol? It's true but I can't explain why

>>545294431
last guy that tried to shoot me in the back i killed with my free loadout, people can't aim. i'm looking forward to being done with quests and grinds and doing some pvp tbqh.

reminder to add this to the OP too
https://arctracker.io/needed-items

>>545295234
because it's the last area on the map currently and has some of the best loot and it's where all the streamers go too

I'd love to see some designs for functional vehicles in this art style. Maybe one day we'll get a big map for mad max mayhem

>>545295234
map more open without many building blocking los'

>Be on bluegate
>Kill freekit
>Don't go to loot it because you know it's a dogshit freekit
>Now the raider flare going up suddenly doesn't mean anything
Wow! I just solved your problem for you. Again, if you lose to freekits in fullkit, you're dogshit.

did the vulcan iv using anon kill someone from inside the train on buried earlier? the drop down extract

>>545295447
actually delusional. you don't even play this game as far as im concerned

>>545295502
Yeah i did why?

>>545295580
Just admit you're dogshit and go to loot freekits please.

reminder that equipped shields are visible

i have 72 hours played am i a loser ?

>>545295605
because you shooted me dead. show screenshot of your character

>>545295234
It's literally just these areas
Wide open with hardly any cover, fruit trees for scrappy upgrades, and a "secret loot room" at ancient fort that everybody and their mother knows about.

If you go south or into the underground section, it's a totally different map.

>>545295701
kinda based
im only at 56 myself

>>545295751
god the fruit patch really is no man's land

>>545295734
raped.

>>545295701
>>545295771
64 reporting in

>>545295751
The underground area is juicer heaven. Been having so much fun pvping in there

Has anyone found a Power Rod bp? You need Power Rods for purple shields and I have only managed to find 1 Power Rod

>>545295751
extend that area to adorned wreckage, and then keep extending it to the village and i agree

>>545295847
The bodies in this game are so ugly. Why are all raiders built like fridges with tiny arms yet I can still see her ass cheeks from the front?

>>545295701
we're both losers bro

>>545295847
yea that was probably you; what did i say to you?-- for verification

>>545295847
she lookin kinda thicc ngl like dayum

>>545295942
I havent found the BP but I found a lot of them in electrical areas
Also you can recycle a snap hook for a Rod if needed

>>545295972
Difference is that those areas have a ton of cover + usually a leaper or rocketeer roaming. So it's not total planet of the apes mode like the others. Despite the quest at adorned and secret room at trappers glade.

>>545295942
I have power rod bp but I used it. If you want to give me the mats I can make you power rods, but I am not going to be on for a few hours.

>>545296126
ah gotcha

>>545296209
What's the recipe?

>>545296314
arc circuitry and advanced elec components but you can look all that shit up on the wiki

https://arcraiders.wiki/wiki/Power_Rod

Best pull from 6 hours of night raid final extract camping in a 3 man
Only like 5 people actually extract from your given night raid, it's kind of weird, i wonder if they have lower pops
Best spite: Guy who brought a leaper down into the extract rather than let us kill him (respect 100)

Absolutely tragic

yeah because every raid is a fucking massacre

>>545296726
>spending all that time for loot I can get in 5 minutes

good job tyrone

>>545293626
you get medium shields on tactical too
the only difference between tactical 1 and combat 1 is tactical has one extra quick slot and combat has that one slot moved to generic inventory
>>545293860
that's mk2

I am growing increasingly tired of trying to hunt down a Bastion or Bombardier
>load in late, no time to find one and fight it
>ample time, but neither is on the map

lol rip anon

>>545295123
>>545297515
>mfw im not black OR chinese

>>545296697
Night raids are insane, ive never been more careful than in a solo raid.
Still need 1 more industrial battery, then its big game ARC hunting for Bastion and Sentinel cores.

People should be able to loot and search welfare kits instantly. Hate wasting time on these section 8 ferro monkeys.

ferro chuds get completely shut down by a medium shield

>>545297107
blue gate has them both all the time, ive never not seen them and they also respawn use the damn interactive map so you know where they spawn

>>545297107
You'll just get third partied by shayquandrius and mohammed anyway

didn’t expect 4channers to seethe over kosGODS. guess i’ll continue to kill all you faggots in solo queue and watch you seethe here AND on reddit

>>545297708

Everyone will be kosing in like a week anyway so all you're doing is getting a head start.

>>545297691
Yeah it makes no sense that items come up one at a time at the same speed. Should work in batches
>all grey items appear near instantly
>green items get a short wait then all appear
>blue a bit slower
>purple around the speed of the loot right now
>legendary around half a second longer than purple
Sitting on som asshole's body and waiting 50+ seconds for it to just be some freekit garbage with a bunch of plastic wrap, rubber, and oil is so retarded.

>>545297956
this nigga BROWN

>>545298201
lesbians don't look like that

>>545297956
>kos chimp browses reddit
Not even surprised

>>545298201
me too. they should be bi but only want me in their love triangle

I think a deployable/extendable ladder would be a cool quick use item.

How many vaults does 1 surveyor drop? Am I gonna have to fight for this shit

>>545298294
That's basically a thing already, zipline

>>545296726
Dogshit haul brother, good work!

>>545298841
dont be jealous :3c

Control Rod loot at the dam was a bit underwhelming, but got two vita sprays from it!

>>545296729
Yes, these were about 6(ish) baskets on buried city with the lush thing goijng on.

i love running suppresors and taking potshots a people and then leaving knowing damn well they are going to be extremely cautious all run NYAHAHAHAHA

>>545297956
based and same

Extraction can never work as a genre because of cheaters. Devs will never take the necessary steps to remove them all and even if they did for once there would be 10 workarounds a week in a constant game of cat and mouse between cheaters and dev security. Cheaters in other online games, who cares go next, but in a game where you can lose it all in 1 death, you are basically a fucking moron for even playing the game knowing these fucks are out there.

It's why I never bought tarkov. It's why I never bought dark and darker. And it's why I'll never buy Ack Gayders.

>>545299237
If someone takes a shot at me I KOS afterwards.

>ferro
>40 rounds
>bandages
>no shield charger since I can just use power cells
yep its time to hunt arc

>>545299362
This isn't /v/, why are even here? You haven't even played the game, your criticism means less than nothing

>>545299362
>never work as a genre because of cheaters
ok anon ty for the insight

>>545299474
Arc power cells are half a small shield. In the middle of a fight you might regret not having a shield charger.

do you need turbo pumps for anything? none of the wikis say anything about them

>>545298215
Are you all fucking retarded? It's so obvious when someone is freekit. If you can't tell from the way they play and their gun, then you can SURELY tell when you go to their body and see the EXACT slot amount of a freekit.
If you're still fucking mentally handicapped, maybe after you see the level 1 freekit weapon you'll know (It's their first fucking slot, don't gotta sit through all of it) If not then, you're just bad and should die to freekits.

dam testing anex key night raid time

>>545294224 (OP)
poorfag loadout time

Looting Mk2 augment seems kind of shitty, ticks arent really common enough for the ability to matter. more safe spots is nice though.
Looting Mk3 is great. As long as a player doesnt walk by and knock you out, you can crawl across the entire map to extract. And you get 3 safe spots.

Tactical Mk2 is amazing for running away. Pop smoke every time your shield breaks.

The combat augments seem kind of underwhelming with how slow they regen health.

>>545299516
Because I keep seeing "complaining about cheating" posts pop up on the front page for this general and decided to ctrl+f for it in this and the last thread. It's sad that this game is already broken and that it will only get worse from here and this game is doomed to die because of third world subhumans.

>>545299784
Again, who cares go next. You dont lose anything in CS if there is a cheater. You report, leave the game, queue up again.>>545299906

>>545299908
need help carrying all that loot? I can join :^)

>>545299906
But what if they looted something good??? You ever think of that faggot?

My suggestion is good. Having batched looting would make the game more fun for everyone. It would also build up that hype level when one or more items are taking longer to discover because you know it's a purple/gold

>>545299918
>maxed stash
>400k arc coin
>Green shields, no utility, won't even blow 5 metal to upgrade the stitcher
This is the arc equivalent of those people with trash piled to the ceiling all over their house. Get help

>>545300258
If they looted something good, then why the fuck are you complaining?
>Sitting on som asshole's body and waiting 50+ seconds for it to just be some freekit garbage with a bunch of plastic wrap, rubber, and oil is so retarded.
Anyone can pick up shit plastic wrap and rubber and oil, anyone can pick up bastion cells.
You always have a chance to loot someone and it be dogshit. You're whining about freekits, just don't loot them you moron. If the same thing happens over and over again and your dumb ass still falls for the loot trap that's because you're a dumb nigger, the game doesn't need to change, you sound like a redditor right now.

>everyone will KOS after the tech test
>everyone will KOS after the server slam
>everyone will KOS after the honeymoon is over
You are here.
>everyone will KOS after the first prestige
>everyone will KOS after the winter event
Getting weird how often I'm seeing this said meanwhile every solo match is still carebear heaven.

Why can't I bring myself to shoot first

>>545300093
>Again, who cares go next.
You can do the same thing in Arc, in the end the only thing cheaters take from you in both games is your time

>>545300545
I just looked at my match history and there's days where everyone is kill on sight and then there's day where I have nothing but extracts. It's really jarring.

>>545299474
>>545299867
shields are kinda gay in this game anyway. they dont act like a second health bar like in many other games. its "just" a damage reduction.
this means topping your health should always be #1 priority

It's crazy how many items that have zero use but to be recycled. I am freeing up so much space in my stash by recycling blue items with low stack sizes that have zero use
Do these just exist to dilute the loot pool?

I've played so many of these extraction shooters. It's gotten silly. What sets this one apart? And what makes you think it won't be fotm like so many others?

>>545300540
I'm saying it takes too long to loot people you autistic dumbass. It takes too long for 90% of the time the reward not being worth the time spent, but it has to be done regardless because of the potential gains.

>>545298738
rng you can get them from every piece

There is an absurd hiding spot on southern station, on the wall theres a little pipe you can hide inside of

>>545300850
Oh my god!! I can't wait to take 4 years to loot because some faggot has an inventory of all the good shit on the map!!! Your idea is genius!!

>>545300638
One takes less than 20 seconds of your time, the other takes hours. Imagine defending cheaters, you people are schizos

>>545300762
The first thing that stood apart for me is that it's actually a finished game
No early access, not work-in-progress shit, every part of the game is actually serviceable
Second, pretty casual accessible, it might bite them in the ass in a couple months when all the sweats leave but so far it's a lot of fun

>>545300458
running around looting is fun

>>545301013
If by some chance some guy had an entire inventory full of legendaries, my proposed idea would be that every single item in his inventory would appear 0.5 seconds longer than it takes 1 item to appear right now. What do you think I meant by "batch looting" and "all appear" you illiterate nigger fuck. Kill yourself

>>545301056
>One takes less than 20 seconds of your time
Your CS games last 20s?
>Imagine defending cheaters
Good thing nobody did you inbred baboon

>>545300762
It's probably fotm, but if you've played so many extraction shooters then you're used to that. It's fun, I'd recommend trying it before the flavor is gone.

>>545301285
Why are you being so mean to me? I've done nothing but be so kind to you.


and wholesome.

I think throwing a literal hairpin at the enemy would be more effective than this dogshit weapon

>>545300751
I expect there will eventually be more quests to turn in specific items

>dude everyone is still friendly
>lol i can't believe people thought everyone would KOS
>carebears!
it's because you are AMERICAN. i am EUROPEAN, and my lobbies are filled with subhuman RUSSIANS and FRENCH

>>545301696
maybe, but right now there's so much useless junk

Anyone found a smoke grenade blueprint yet? These craftable grey ones fucking suck

how many wolf packs for a Bombardier?

>>545300936
What are you hiding from?

which map has a high value industrial zone?

>>545301993
I had to use 2 Trigger Nades and 2 Wolf Packs to take down a Bombardier

>rocketeer aggros from like a mile away and kills me
>after I die it aggros on another raider like 300 meters away and kills him too
ok then

Rocketeer should not be nerfed, the other ARC should be buffed

>>545302174
especially the snitch. buff the snitch
teehee

>>545300762
>competent devs
>don't need to play a 40 hour week to stay ahead of the curve
>actual enjoyable pve
>looting isn't sifting through useless items

>>545302174
need a mid size indoor arc IMO

>>545301745
Why can't russiands and french be nice

Why are players so fucking kill hungry in the game where the objective is to loot and escape? I've had solos try to gun down me and my 2 friends at random, and they instantly die every time. Sometimes we'll even tell them not to shoot because we're friendly, fully intent on leaving them be, and they'll still do it.

Do you people sell your epic materials? I doubt I'll ever use the item they'll make, in fear of losing them

>>545302796
I hope the shredder will be a hornet sized, ground based melee ARC that chases players indoors.
I also hope they make it easier for wasps to enter windows and doors. I usually only see them hovering around, very rarely actually entering buildings. I want to see them navigating hallways to chase players

>>545302796
they should add one of those boston dynamics dogs but with guns on its back

>>545303035
Would honestly work very well

>>545303035
they should add one of those boston dynamics dogs but with guns on its knot____

>>545300762
I do not have to spend real money for inventory space, so that is a plus already.

I just died to a Jupiter. That was fucking insane and I want one

>>545302957
I sell the rocketeer drives cause they're piss easy to get

>>545302812
the french despise non-french they have to play on their own servers in basically every game

>have to go to research and admin for quest
>everyone is going there
>get shot by some nigger for no reason as I'm being lit up by a sniper turret and wasp
Enjoy your kettle, stupid nigger

I miss the good old days of 5 days ago...

Has anyone actually found any keys in the wild? All the keys I have in my stash are quest rewards

>>545299906
Freekit niggers should be more obvious. They should be forced to have the outfit from the tutorial so everyone knows to shoot them on sight.

It's kinda disappointing how little you have to actually respect most of the arcs, not to mention how weak and easily cheesed most of them are.

>>545301139
where can i even see that overview?

>>545303865
you need to play night raids bro

>>545303865
Yes, I found 2 purple keys and 1 green key in random containers

>>545303865
sis, your residential loot?

im only buying the game if I can get this outfit
Is it in the game?

i am never going to another non night raid without a hatch key again

and anyone that says the guns feel bad to use is a retard that hasn't used the renegade or the venator

also i won the game
venator CHADS vs the virgin anvilchuds

>>545304246
Don't think so

can you use the inventory while you are downed? I want to recycle all of my weapons and good loot if someone downs me. Or should I know I cant escape and just hide

why is this game popular when it looks like shit
Who astroturfed this

>>545304614
You can't, probably for exactly the same reason in your post.

>>545304261
>venator CHADS vs the virgin anvilchuds
why not both?

>>545304614
no it would be lame

>>545304261
raider hatches aren't open during night raids

>>545305017
get some rest anon

>>545305060
I speed read, sorry

>>545304676
explain specifically what looks like shit
>>545304614
no you need to preemptively make that call

>>545305302
Everything

>>545302174
I hope they introduce ARC that use the AI raider voices as decoys like in Predator

>>545305457
Use your words. Describe the shit.

>>545300762
i usually get sick of these games quickly but
>inventory autism is heavily reduced even after you die in a raid
>systems are very straight forward
>queues actually are typically tailored to your party size(unless if you're duo, then you're just gonna suffer trios)
>wipes are optional(whether this is good or not in execution remains to be seen)
>people are moreso more vocal in voice chat
>pve AI is actually passable
>there is zero reason to have gear fear because you get a free loadout to hop in with any time. in fact, you find yourself running in with your gear more often just so you can clean out your inventory productively
>actually plans on updating frequently

my main gripes are how dogshit the ui is, and cosmetics are so shit that even i thought this game would be trash

>>545304685
Why not just disable recycling while down so I can still toss out a defib?

>>545305457
good, please stay away, jermaine

>>545304246

why am i getting hunted by teams in solo? what the FUCK man. and they're rocking volcanos...
are friends queueing at the same time? they werent using ingame voice at all

i still dont get what the point of resetting is if the only permanent unlock will probably be cosmetic

>>545294224 (OP)
>reminder to use medium shields to gearcheck free loadout shitters edition
Some video came on my youtube feed yesterday that was advocating light shields because of mobility.

they should let you loot people who are just downed

that way you can just yoink their good shit then revive them and make them run off at gunpoint

>>545305802

i lost an epic kit to this. as revenge i will 3rd party someone with a free kit

>>545304676
God forbid games look like games and not paypiggy subhuman fleecers with minimal gameplay.

>>545305802
>balanced like shit
The endgame content is not PVP.

there should be an arc that possesses dead player and android bodies and they should charge straight for you to beat the shit out of you. would make night raids more spooky

unfortunately though, dead raiders aren't really dead for some reason...they're just...knocked out?

rattler is actually decent when upgraded. shits on the arpoogio

>>545295751
Going downstairs and just looting the cars and a free weapon box that's in the parking lot is how I completed bunch of bench upgrades, people can keep killing themselves however much they want in that shitty fort.

>>545306073
>they're just...knocked out?
Pretty sure the implication is your character was looted then dragged back to an elevator. How else would you play as the same character over and over?

>>545305802
Hairpin is the only one that deserves to be in F. It's literally better to go melee them in the face instead.

>>545305886
It's only 5%, and the first conditioning skill reduces that further. Even without the skill, surviving extra shots is well worth it.

>>545306119
i don't like the apreggio at all, never saw the hype and i don't hate burst weapons in shooters

>>545305962
free loadout nigger detected
they should mark free loadout augments with a glowing chest badge so you know those people are miserly and not to be trusted

>>545306073
>they're just...knocked out?
Don't think about it too hard. The devs sure didn't.

>>545306073
>ARCs
>human shaped and ever
Not happening.

I will continue to use the rattler because it makes me think of skeletons

>>545306485
i mean androids exist like Lance, I'm guessing android enemies will come later on

I'm full...

>>545306119
Ever used two level 3 Rattlers at once? It's nice.

aww buddy, never played an extraction shooter before?

by this weekend, there will be nothing to do BUT pvp before people leave for tarkov's 1.0 release

A bot that's like a big mobile factory that sharts out drones and has a bunch of other little bots like those tick things bringing it scrap metal so it can poo out more bots

>>545306485
Blue Gate is full of androids and if you walk near them they react and start babbling. I wouldn't be surprised if a future update adds an enemy type like that.

>>545306073
>they're just...knocked out?
All the raiders are working for the same goal of enriching speranza so the gun fights and betrayals top side are just friendly bantz

How's the renegade if I don't have an anvil BP?

>>545306696
Your options are either go full charity modo and give shit out to randos or full murder hobo.

>>545306073
i want scarier indoor arcs, like those octopuss robots from The Matrix

>>545305457
okay since youre being a nigger, tell me what game doesn't look like shit

>>545306776
I'm in south america, I guarantee almost no one is playing tarkov here (except hackers)

>>545306952
I've certainly got some stuff

Nigga what are you doing?

free loadouts should be a 24 hour cooldown

or should be distinguished from actual loadouts so they can be gunned down like the ape niggers they are

>>545307371
Ratting

>>545307081
Upgrade all the guns to 4.

what should I be farming early?

>>545306916
youll have best results w/ stitcher + ferro. not much worse than an anvil

A bot that runs and hides around corners and punches you like a jack in the box toy
Punishes people that don't bring grenades and/or have bad reaction times and don't kill them before they flee to set up

>>545307501
ARC Circuitry is the single most important item. Then batteries. Then everything that lets you upgrade to bench 2. The tactical mk2 with blue shield is the best combat loadout for a while.

taking a break until rocketeers get nerfed

>>545307784
I saw one guy taking Ferro potshots at it for about 15 minutes and he did get it down. He was surrounded by other arc drones too though so I went in and looted the wreck.

How me and the boys respond to a group of carebears that say hi to us: https://youtu.be/8RIfDYdzNIk?si=RK2y2Vk2tNtmPiab&t=169

i make a lot of friends killing rocketeers and giving them the loot

>>545308407
stitcher only works in close mid range. Other weapons are far better inside that same range
you seem like a faggot who takes free loadouts and should be gassed like the ape you are

>>545307935
if that happened two minutes ago that was me.

>>545307493
nice job jonquavious

>>545308702
the only thing out performing a kettle or sticher in mid to close is a anvil

you def havent had as much pvp as i have and it shows :)

>>545308987
He actually killed a guy right outside the door without saying anything. In true white man fashion, I actually avenged the other guy.

>>545309064
venator beats all of those

>>545305802
If we're talking PvP it's:

S:
Anvil
Renegade

A:
Venator
Stitcher
Bobcat
Ferro

B:
Pretty much everything else

Dunno about the energy weapons since I haven't seen one.

IVE BEEN SO LUCKY WITH MY BLUE PRINTS BROOOOO


I LOVE NIGHT RAID SECURITY LOCKERS!!!!!!!

i like the kettle

do suppressor blueprints exist or do i just upgrade a bench

>>545307087
encourages actual interaction in the game via looting+crafting or killing other players. limited supplies in the stores means there is indeed a value to gear above grey

>>545308981

>>545305802
I would like you to meet my c-tier stitcher iv kitted out with grey mods and evaluate your rating.

do dog collars get used after the first scrappy upgrade

>he had a legendary grip, dartboard, wolfpack

I feel kinda bad but at the same time not really and I'm gonna do it again

>>545309534
no

>>545309301
ive killed too many people who have that on them and they just have so little bullets most of the time im just relentless in my pursuit and catch them while they reload because i have 0 fear and level 3 light mags and rape them with 35 rounds of deathnigger cylinders

>>545307418
>or should be distinguished from actual loadouts
check their weapon and shield. if its a lvl 1 shield and they have a kettle, stitch or rattler then its a pretty clear sign of a free loadout (or someone who is on the same tier as it anyway)

>>545309064
el toro
venator
tempest

you sound like the type of free loadout faggot who sits in corners with the stitcher and it shows :)

>>545309309
the anvil's bloom dispersion and velocity are ass against people who know to quick peek and roll. Against bad players the anvil is better while the ferro is the most consistent overall.

don't agree with the stitcher but I can see arguments for the rest

>>545309064
shotguns work well too at mid range with a choke

>>545309619
sorry, we're assuming you have baseline competency in shooters and can land shots here.

>>545307305
>giving them human limbs
Needlessly complicated. ARCs either resemble insects or military vehicles. The closest we'll get is some holographic projection spamming voicelines until you get close then it either explodes or pulls a Snitch.

The third person really turns me off a lot more than I thought it would. Guess I'll give it another hour or 2 to see if it manages to grab me enough to get past it. Game is neat otherwise.

>>545309750
You're needlessly complicated

Every suggestion in this thread is completely favela monkey vantablack retarded

>>545309309
are you working cost into this? because the volcano almost cant lose indoors

i hate pvp tps games but once i stopped playing like a fps game and respected the rules of tps its fine t.60+ hours

>>545309889
Welcome to the human condition, bitch. Something the bots don't have to deal with. Try not to be jealous.

need a bigger version of the ticks that will run along walls and roofs at full speed to bodycheck you

>>545309638
Anvil is just good overall at almost every common range and it's cheap that is why it's S. For all intents and purposes fully upgraded Renegade is superior to both Ferro and Anvil just because it becomes a bullet hose with slightly less damage. You basically need to crouch with Anvil to get same accuracy as Renegade and Ferro get by default but it shoots faster than Ferro with same damage. Depends on map but in most encounters it is going to be superior.

The SMGs are just overall really strong in PvP. Fast reloads and easy to control for headshot beaming. Obviously if you're running an SMG you need a side with it which most of the time pairs well with Osprey. On their own, without a squad they are dogshit but in a squad or with a secondary they're probably the strongest weapons in game for an average player.

>>545309924
I only included cost into Anvil, kinda. Vulcano's good but like you said, it's specific. The thing is, Renegade can hold its own even in close range even if it's not the strongest and it absolutely shits on everything else at mid-long ranges.

did the dam control room loot got nerfed or did I just got shit luck?
two shitty guns and not a single purple from the entire room, completely worthless compared to just looting the rest of the building

>>545310258
i just did a night time confiscation room and got jack shit

i unironically get better loot during daytime raids when i use keys

Luna, Boonie, Driftcoat, or wait until shop reset in 2 days? This is very important.
DO COSMETICS COME BACK EVER?

>>545309638
>shotgun
good luck at medium and beyond ranges or when more than 1 person rushes you.
>Venator
honestly sure i can give you this one but that low bullet count and being blue rarity barely outperforming a grey weapon is grim.
>tempest
10 damage (same damage as kettle)
nigga this is just a slightly better rattler oh and its purple rarity too i sure hope it outperforms a fucking grey pissbaby gun which it barely does

attachments matter more than anything else honestly.

>>545310431
shotguns in this game with a choke will cover any indoor distance

>>545307784
i feel like they're going to be a noobfilter that everybody sees as a boogeyman now but will be mid-tier farmables not long from now.

i hated rocketeers but then i started using lure nades and crafting wolfpacks now i look for them any chance i get

>>545310364
I got the driftcoat because it's the best fit

>>545297107
same that and getting ganked while fighting it is so fucking annoying

>>545310873
*blocks your path*

>>545310989
Nice pants, sally. Must be nice not having a dick

>>545311045
it's tucked

>>545310601
indoor distance is optimal for a shotgun but when more than 1 person rushes you and you have to 2-3 shot a guy to down them its ruff, but it does leave them liable for a cleanup from your buddies
unless you have a level 4 vulcano with level 3 mag then you just ass rape them because you shoot fast as fuck and have 12 rounds

I hope rocketeers never get nerfed because I actually fear them but they need to target switch better instead of hovering a door for 120 seconds while people outside are pinging away at you.

>>545297920
i'm so fucking tired of this shit every fucking time some turbo chimp rolls up after i engage it

>>545294689

Same, they are an actual threat and actually give you a reason to be careful unlike the bastion though the bombardier is up there but as long as you kill the surveyors you're all g.

>>545305886
Youtube niggers spouting dumbass ideas again. No, run a medium shield, it's 5% speed loss for double the durability on your shield.

You deserve it. If they shoot first, it's open season. They WILL take advantage of your cowardice.

im a heavy only shield user i get any advantage i can get to win fights mobility doesn't matter to me
i dont run away from fights like a faggot id rather die than be a coward

it's called being white

you just have to remember that unless they have a mic they are probably brown
and if they are a squeaker then you should kill anyway because a white child is as intelligent as a fully grown black man (which is to say, not)

They should replace the ferro and stitcher in the free kit with a hairpin.

>>545300636
You don't look at the world as it is. You have to assume people are out to kill you, even if it's to no benefit to them. Everyone in game is a nigger until proven otherwise. Kill or be killed.

>>545309646
And that's after nerfs lol.
Back in tt2 I was killing people across the map on buried city with a vulcano and lvl2 choke.

go in my party and carry my trial (land based arc)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Ri7pQB4GQ

apparently embark didn't actually program any animations for ARC... they just modeled everything, made everything a component of an accurate physics model, and then... just let AI learn how to move. thats fuckin wild if true

>>545310431
I like your captcha image

jkv locked room/barricaded door is pretty nice. Some guy tried to chase me into the subway, but after I whiffed 3 showstoppers he got a bit overconfident and I gave him the business. Didn't even stop to loot him.

What compels you to suicide at extract via rocketeer?

i made my character but forgot to set the voice so i have an old bald japanese man that speaks like a little white girl how do i fix this

>>545312483
This is what I was tellin some randos yesterday. I think the bombadier is gonna turn into a farm soon lol

>>545313920
I don't remember being prompted to pick a voice. Was pretty sure it was tied to face or just choosing male/female body.
But if you mean in proxy chat using the AI filter, click audio in the settings and scroll all the way down. Second to last category.

I've got no friends, is the game OK to play solo?

>>545313226
You can really tell by how the flyers react to getting hit (and how janky some of the walkers can be). People can shit on Embark (and oftentimes rightfully so) for various things, but they truly do offer you something unique with their games.

>>545313834
Turns out that a lot of fuckhuge install sizes are just a result of devs not giving a shit.

>>545313563
How much do showstoppers fuck people up? Ive only used them on ARC.
They do fuck up ARC.

AYO NIGGUH SHEEEEEEIT GIMMEDATS

okay i killed a bomber arc solo but i had to camp in an attic the whole time and kill 3 guys coming up the zipline into the attic
it wasnt fun guys

>2 wolf packs wasn't enough for a rocketeer
really now

>>545314524
Not gonna get third partied because you never actually fight the bombadier. You just shoot the spotters repeatedly and then go collect fat cash.

>>545314746
one leaves them almost dead if you throw it right and they hit the right targets

idk how you managed to not kill with two

>>545314512
If you hit with it, you just won the 1v1. They're extremely busted. Once I get the BP, I'll forever be running at least 2 in any non-poverty loadout.

>>545314108
What do you spend cash on once you finish the stash upgrades?
I finished mine last night, and kept playing and earned a lot of money from trinkets but realized Im not sure where to use it.
I guess I can liberally buy grenades and shields and not worry too much now.

>>545314839
Oh yes, how "I" managed to convince the AI bombs to not kill a thing, "my" mistake

>>545314468
i played for the first time today and I had good experience solo as both a care bear and kos god. It feels like the inverse of tarkov, everyone is more worried about sullying a potential alliance, than defending against a potential enemy.

>>545314829
you're still letting every tyresius, shayquan, jamiroquandisha, deshawn and jaqueezius know exactly where you are.

>>545314839
Not that anon, but what do you mean "throw it right"
I saw my friend nearly 1 shot a rocketeer with one, but when I tried, didn't seem successful. Tried again on a leaper, but also to little success.
I know the power is there, but I'm not sure how I should be aiming them.
Or maybe I just got unlucky and shit missed idk

>>545314869
You'll probably do the expedition optional wipe I'm sure, which is gonna run you cash, and then you'll want to make cash to do it again, that's the intended gameplay loop.

Though in reality farming spotters just means quick money for making loadouts to pvp I'm sure.

>>545315018
You got niggers on your mind too much.
To me you are poobrain.

>>545315035

And the asian bitch just said "mom" with the most heavily pronounced "o" I've ever heard in my life because that's what was on the fucking sheet in front of her instead of saying "mum" like she obviously would with her accent, where did they FIND these people

that would make them seethe so bad lol

yea... space port is plagued with snipers now. witnessing soulless niggers all adapt tome tiktok playstyle at the same time is insane. every other day its some new flavor. what the FUCK nuke all streamers

>>545314468
solo is the comfiest way to play so far, may change in the future. you only get other solos in your game i think.

what parts of the skill tree should you upgrade in the early game?

>>545315413
all voices are ai in this game

>>545315669
Grab the 2 on the left in the top tree to start so you do quests and pvp better.

>>545312582
every time someone acts like a nigger to me i call them what they are, or if i'm feeling nice i just ask if they are black or their parents didn't love them enough

>>545312956
you need a level 3 gunsmithing bench for those silencers
>>545313118

>>545314108
i just finished the last quest, its literally just getting a patrol car key and unlocking the back of one in the tunnel on blue gate i think (at the checkpoint), kind of a let down, nothin left to do but expedition progress, you need 5 cooling fans though and i've only found 1 lol
>>545314468
solos can be chill more often than not, which is fine as i get killed by arc more often than not compared to players, even when they get the jump on me

>>545315423
MFW JUST dismantled 5 of them for components my bad

>>545315869
All my benches are maxed out. Just need the BPs.

>>545312772
Do you know how many big boys you need to kill to max out the trial?

>>545315692
I looked it up and - according to them - it seems that's not entirely true. They claim AI is used for callouts so they don't have to get VAs to voice every single item and location, but not for all of them.
I don't know. They do record real VAs for the basis of the AI voices, but the lines themselves certainly could be 100% AI generated from those recordings. It really does sound awkward enough for it, in a bizarre, uncanny way.

>>545309646
i have yet to kill a single person with the il torro. you shoot once and then have to wait half a century, and it takes 3-4 shots to kill unless you're actually in their face.

>>545315875
is it ~2 wolfpacks per bastion? does the pack going off behind it make a big diff?
i have the wolfpack bp and mats for like 30. are you doing anything to sustain sensors/whatever, or just good ol looting?

>both get stitchers
>yoink a trios ferro
>get into a fight on the roof and waste a kitted up teams resources but ultimately lose because lack of sustain
Feels good man, enjoy my empty pockets and your broke ass shield

Every single attire in this game looks like it was made for a woman.

nobody speaking in EU now do I swap to NA

what are some good ways to kill a rocketeer solo? do i just bring an anvil and try to kill it in 5 minutes taking shots at its rotors dodging the rockets?

>>545317137
eu was comfy until yesterday, with lots of banter etc
now its turks and slavs everywhere and only kos and noone talks

>>545314932
Yeah. Throw it high up in the air, not at the enemy.

>>545317196
2 wolf packs it dead simple simple. you will need a lot of sustain to fight one if you wanan go the shoot the rotors with heavy ammo route and lots of bullets

>>545316772
kino shot.

>>545317137
noticed this aswell had people talking every game before and today nothing just instant shooting...

i am requesting shamelessly edgy skins

>>545316203

>>545317379
do i need to hit it directly with the wolfpack?

>>545317734
Gonna see if I can get one for each trial 3 star. 2 down, 3 to go.

>>545317196
well the BEST way is to buy a hullcracker and some ammo and then find some solid ass cover

you can open and close doors on them to keep them relatively still and block their shots

>>545315035
leapers are really weak to fire

>>545317834
Wolfpacks airburst. So you want to throw it slightly above, and not so close that it doesn't have time to arm.

Also make sure that there aren't any other arc close by, or some of the missiles will do a 180

>>545317929
my buddy got a nice bp from trial but i got shit on today

>>545318045
I'll give it a try.
But I got my required leaper parts

Solo is turning into a kos bloodbath for me lately; yet I still see posts by people going "in 20 hours I've never been pvp'd everyone is so nice!".. should I turn crossplay off on PC or what. Or am I just getting matched from killing some people? I don't need it to be a safe space but there's way too many people in solo servers

holy shit everyones devolved into KOS niggers.
even those who act friendly on mic first suddenly sperg out after a quick convo

>>545318964
yeah dude the novelty was going to wear off the second people unlocked shit to pvp with

everyone who plays seriously is already done with all progression and is just farming / trading for BPs and killing people for fun.

such is the nature of extraction shooters

no but really free kits need a fucking cooldown or there needs to be more of a benefit to killing them

they only need to get lucky once and can spam it nonstop and run around like a CoD nigger.

>>545320463
quests are kind of a joke and dont gate progress so there's not much reason to do them, best thing you can do is rush weapon caches for BPs and farm out your workbenches which doesn't take long at all if you know what to look for and hoard items.

>>545320605
you're the one whining about getting clapped though

>>545320960

you might be right. next time i'll play around leveling my workbenches.

I do not get how people find uber-'realistic' pvp shooters fun, and I have 2,000 hours in arma3.

i dont do quests because they reward items and i dont have room

if i spawn on the opposite side of the map is it better to just exfil and hope you get a good spawn next time?

>>545321180
Not really, the rooster upgrades aren't that impactful that you would need them asap. Once you upgrade your stash to max you'll have so much money you can easily buy any basic mats that you're missing.

>>545320985
I'm not, tarkov schizo. Take your meds.

>>545321461
buried city is basically a CoD map with freeniggers running around the entire match

>>545321461
That and it's also easy to deal with the bots since there's so much cover

Adrenaline needs to give a move and interaction speed boost instead of just full stamina.

<5 minutes into this buried city round and ~10 flares have fired off near me. this game is devolving

>play north american servers
>nothing but blacks and kids
>no one cares about the quests or loot
>it's basically pvp with free kits only
>teammates are always complete ass
>everyone is trolling each other
never again

Each map should have its own "Launch Tower Loot" event where you activate something and swarms of ARC come to get you.

>>545321936
im guessing theyll be adding many more of these over time. the roadmap is kinda stacked i think

Are the renegade or osprey worth running as a solo?

I'm kinda tired of people bitching about free kniggers
no, it doesn't need a cooldown

>>545294224 (OP)
how do i make a medium shield?

people start ignoring bots
game becomes pvp
make bots stronger
people start ignoring players
game becomes pve
make bots weaker
people start ignoring bots
game becomes pvp

>>545322119
Osprey is not worth running if you don't have a close range weapon as sidearm, period.

>>545322136
the only thing i don't understand is kits are so cheap to put together, even leveling up a gun a few times
my default "free kit" is ferro 4, light looting module and light shield, 50 heavy rounds, 2 shield rechargers and 5 bandages, its a few pennies of scraps at most

I'll miss these moments when every single match is basically a BR after everyone does the quests

>>545322321
nice blog post. how many players did you kill?

>>545322369
how do you get the gun parts to upgrade so often that's my bottleneck

>>545322007
literally the best event, loot aside even. just eventful

>>545322273
This game will die long before it gets into that cycle. The gunplay(the core aspect of a shooter) isn't good enough to keep people around, the questing is too easy, and kosniggers will drive the casuals away little by little till they're only fighting each other in a 20k max pop 6 months from now, 5k in a year.

>>545322491
absolutely zero, I was tracking that guy in the generator area for like 5 minutes with the sticky grenade but he managed to get away. I was literally 10 meters away from him from him (heard him breach) I dont know how he got out

>>545322501
jsut dismantle all weapons you see

>>545322640
the gunplay is fine
the only issue is the fucking desync
"gunplay sucks" is shitter cope from someone that has only ever used a kettle

>>545322225
you need to upgrade your gear bench

Bog Walker bros? Where we at?

i will rape all arc.

All of the voices in game are AI. They pay voice actors simply for control lines that the AI uses. They don't live record any of them. It's the same as The Finals

>>545322136
Just spawn EBT kitters after half of the raid timer. Problem solved.

>>545322501
5 from celeste and just finding em i guess, yeah you can scrap weapons for em but they drop often enough for me from wasps and shit, people really sleep on the bot loot sometimes, even so im always low on power cells to make the shield rechargers

any of you fags wanna hunt big arcs with me?

The guns feel fun to use. Not having the slopkov bells and whistles is a massive positive.

>>545321843
Yea we know, now disable crossplay.

i havent heard a single negro on NA, and most of the "kids" are almost 100% fags using the 3rd?? voice or whichever
there are a lot of EU though, and i kill them if i hear one of those STUPID accents. they cry every time

3 blaze grenades and a handful of anvil shots does it in

>>545324343
nice screenshot!
can you please post more?
this is A+ content!

shooter games need skin color based matchmaking

does someone have a bastion cell they can spare? I'm so tired of getting third partied

>>545324574
bombardier*

apparently there's a Silencer III that does -60% noise, haven't seen it myself but that's god tier with an osprey..

>>545324836
also increases the durability loss by 20%

are some of these yellow spots bugged or something? the loot is far worse than like random containers between areas. there's literally nothing here

Trusting bros not like this.. I haven't teamed up with anyone in my 25 hours but pvp is becoming commonplace so I figured why not.. 15 minutes later at the extract a shrapnel grenade lands at my feet from behind and I get a clip unloaded into my head. Never again..

>>545324574
play normally and wait until the last 3 minutes or so
>>545324876
already mentioned, just notoriously empty

>>545323469
>>filled with good loot
>every single time
everytime someone posts this and posts a screenshot of the loot its always wires, scrap metal, lemons and arc alloy

I basically don't want to play unless its the Launch Tower loot thing

>>545324876
unless you have a key, don't bother

>>545324876
You need a key card. I dunno why they make the building outside of the room empty tho

>>545324996
niggers don't have frontal lobes so you can't expect more from them

>dont want to lose my anvil blueprint
>do want to reset account
guess im gonna start shitposting about the anvil until it gets nerfed so i feel less bad about resetting

blue shield rechargers and stim shots arent worth using at all they take too long, green rechargers and any type of bandage is much better

>>545325371
why reset?
whats the point

>>545325510
The stronger bandages and vita shots are definitely better, but yeah I don't bother with surges

kek almost

attention: do NOT do trials
the game uses matchmaking based on your trial rank

Blueprint hunting is pain. I just want medium gun parts blueprint so I don't have to keep running to gun chests to dismantle for them.

This game has really opened my eyes. It's crazy how much more civilized America is compared to the rest of the world.

playing in NA aint much différance from EU guys said I was the first friendly person they had heard in a night raid

Guys I think things have been too friendly for the past few days

isn't it about time Raiders start killing eachother?
Everytime you spare someone you miss out on delicious resources

I found a wolfhound prototype did I win the game

>>545326541
is it as easy as webm4lazys because I cba

>>545326602
I think it depends on demographic, csgo type kids here are just as bad.

Some of you are gullible mothercuckers

You don't have to be a murder hobo, but if all it takes is 2 seconds of voice lines/emotes to convince you that somebody isn't going to put a bullet in the back of your head, you may be a fool.

permanent account unlocks and fomo, i need something to show off my autism

I kinda feel like the Ferro and stitcher should be green tier loot

The hairpin, rattler and kettle are all in their own tier of shitty

If the only ARC that is currently a threat is the rocketeer, the game will devolve into pvp kos faggotry the moment the masses learn how to counter them. All ARC should be buffed to make them an actual threat rather than just a nuisance.

>>545329127
Kettle can rape anyone with one mag, and if you get a larger mag you can run people down midrange easily

>he thinks hes immune to getting freekitted because le blue and purple items

hahaha faggot. get naded and plinked by me and my friends ferros. so many of you giving us FREE blue and purp loadouts

>>545329127
Kettle slander.
It's better than stitcher for PvP but terrible against arc
Hairpin and rattler are total ass though, hard agree

>>545329335
kettler does better than the other lightguns against arc, it's not completely horrible

does throwing spotter relays do anything funny, or do you just sell them?

>>545329189
Bastion and bombardier could use a buff to their spotting. They're too easily avoided. Give leaper a laser eye or something if people camp it indoors. But I think we'll get harder arc in updates.

>>545329335
They should give hairpin subsonic ammo so its undetectable without any trail, then it'd be interesting.

I think the Arpeggio is fucking dogshit, I've had better firefights with a fucking Rappler 3 than this dogshit gun

>Played for 2 hours

I'm surprisingly not mad

>>545329189

Are you jealous social people are having fun? You'll go back to your sweaty pvp games in 2 weeks when the grind is done and arc's combat bores you.

>t. a victim

>>545329624
We need an more aggressive ground hunter type arc. Between tick and leaper and with a light/medium gun or laser. Something that can chase you into buildings and more actively looks for players rather than a patrol route.
Arc are too easy to avoid and the small shit is too easy to kill.

boston dynamics dogs with the funny movement

My friend is such an insufferable retard whenever he wants to pvp.
Will just sit out in the fucking open and hunker down whenever a shootout starts, I tell him we need to move before we get flanked, he never moves, we always get flanked. I tell him we should set up at exfil and camp this last squad that he spent 10 minutes fucking with, he agrees, takes a long ass detour, can't find the entrance to exfil so they camp us instead and we have no choice but to push into them since he ran out the timer being a dumb fag.

Call it a Leech, make it so it actively leeches off your shielding to give itself shields.

>>545331784
too much ammo and upgrading it increases bullet velocity
dont use it unless its upgraded fully.

Medium will help you a lot, it can tank a ferro shot and a anvil shot.
i rarely lose when im rocking a heavy shield

solo kill, ama anons

>>545333107
how? ive got the gear and the people ready but we dont wanna go in blind desu, we've alreayd farmed the harverster like 5+ times but have no idea how to kill this queen do i just hit it with 10 wolf packs?

>>545332819
Might be because I was using one without any upgrades or attachments but I lost every fucking fair firefight with it because of how fucking slow the bursts of bullets are with it. Fucking basic ass kettle and stitchers beat it in damage on close to medium quarters and there's way better shit to use for long range fights

>>545333376
most guns are insane with upgrades, anvils fire rate increase is insane
ferro reload speed being halved is insane
kettle getting bullet velocity and 50% reduced reload speed is insane
the arpeggio rapes hard at level 4 imo it might be the best PVP gun for me but its not really good for anything else because it does eat ammo like a MF

>>545333295

no clue about trio strats, i went for the indoors balcony at the corner of the lake just beneath the quest outpost, doorlocked both doors

took about 160~ hullcracker shots and 3 wolfpack grenades

i just dumped them on his head, didn't go for legbreak strats

>>545333623
I've been playing for 20 hours and I don't think I'm even close to getting to a point where I can reliably upgrade my weapons, getting mechanical parts is a bitch. I just finished a run on blue gate for the first time, its a complete war zone in there but its so fucking easy to find good shit too

>>545333107
all this from one queen kill? damn

>>545333107
whats the queen stuff actually worth?

>>545333906
you can craft them, make sure you got your refinery installed/upgraded i ran th first like 15 hours in the game without a refinery like a dumbass

>>545334023
R-refinery? yeah I totally know what that is haha

>>545333813
When'd you use the wolfpack nades did you use it to kill the rocketeer? i can craft wolfpacks hull cracker and hull cracker ammo so im tempted 2 try this strat

>4 more damage than kettle

>>545331262
kosniggers getting done in by their own, poetic really

>>545333813
lucky nobody sniped your ass while looting

lol just met 4 other solo bros on a night raid and we looted half the map together

Silencer II & Light Mag II? Finally getting somewhere.. all's left is Anvil/Osprey bp

>bring key
>spawn on the opposite side of the map
many such cases

>>545333970

i gave away 2 of them to a random that i bribed to protect me while looting

>>545334157

when it started smoking heavily (2nd dmg stage), i saved one wolfpack for the rocketeer but didn't end up needing it

if ur going for the strat put mines on the stairs at the left side, it's possible to jump into your area from there, i also used barricades in front of the doorblocked doors

Sex with Piper

I agree it's lame if nobody fights, but I think we all know that the current friendly meta is temporary. KOS is a literal slippery slope, once a large enough group starts to pvp exclusively the rest will follow within hours.

I just really really hope embark leans in to the friendly player vs KOS dynamic. I've seen people suggest a bounty/bounty hunting system for example. Another suggestion was a "handshake" that lets you team up with randoms.
Worst case scenario is that the game either swings too far in the carebear direction and nobody fights, or everybody starts DMing like it's COD. Anything to prevent those outcomes

>>545337389
I kinda think they just need to nerf them overall. None of the arc are remotely threatening when you can just chuck two homing nades and instantly kill them

after doing like 10 solo raider cache runs in a row on dam without ever seeing PVP and everyone just running past without even looking, im starting to feel like killing.

I have a feeling I'm gonna find two Solos fucking in the corner of the map one time and it's gonna ruin me.

>>545337075
pretty is a broad descriptor. you were complaining about the characters not being perfectly fit when it's a phenomenon that only became popular in the last ~50 years or so with the rise of gym culture and overall improvements to our standards of living.

do you think raiders have the luxury of adhering to a physical routine that would lead them to today's standards of beauty? in a struggling society even the most physically active women wouldn't get there because you people would say things like "her shoulders are too manly" etc.

>>545337964
>KOS is a literal slippery slope
It's not. Because Fallout 76 and Sea of Thieves are the example where carebears turned the game from a PvPvE into a PvE game. There's a slippery slope both ways if anything.

>attack a guy opening a probe
>multiple headshots with rattler
>throw gas grenade so he cant sprint out, has no cover
>get somewhat close and trade with rattler
>his il toro kills me in 2 or 3 shots ridiculously fast

lmao, realism!

>>545338543

>>545338489
You're a fucking idiot. Mankind has been working out and chasing physical fitness and beauty for millennia. And a raider's lifestyle is enough to ensure they don't look like an amorphous blob. Otherwise they'd be physically incapable of survival.

>>545338489

you are dishonest ghouls. there were no women in the olympics before the 20th century, and the current beauty standards that emphasize slim shoulders/abdomen and well formed thighs/ass are also the product of the same century, when the appropriate gym routines were popularized. female raiders that lift shit and run all day will have broad shoulders and/or slim thighs, which you'd be complaining about all the same.
