stop excusing shitty game design you literal subhumans

if players are smarter than your AI making them see you and kill you through walls is not the solution
>>
>>562566705
they work, but you have to have at least a single braincell to understand that if you throw it too close or in the open it's gonna get nuked and won't do much, and it you throw it too far it's gonna be ignored
ideally you throw it close to the arc and behind cover that can still be reached making the arc route around it

no wolfpack was too strong for the cost, I could make 15 of them in like 2 of my oil runs
now you actually have to kill a rocketeer, and other arc too, since everyone was just relying on throwing 2-3 wolfpacks

I had something similar happen on buried city
I was torched by a firefly through a roof, didn't die luckily
but I agree with you that its bullshit
>>
If you're literally about to die from ARC and someone saves your life, then you shoot them in the back for their loot while they're healing, you really need to think about who you are as a person

I don't think I'm strong enough to do a third expedition
>>
>>562573826
I would easily do the expedition if I could keep my blueprints.
They should make it so that the blueprints are locked (for those that did the expedition) till specific levels. Rares unlock level 20, epics level 35-40 and legendaries around level 50.
>>
Just finished a run where I was last sliver of health, got the return screen, but showed me walking out with nothing/saying I was knocked out. Have the inventory
Does the game just give it to the player in these split second situations?
>>
>>562574310
bps become useless either way for people doing expeditions
best case scenario you could probably do some extra investments to keep no more than 5 bps, but then again people will probably overpick certain ones reducing the demand for them even more
>>
Weather monitoring station bros... they are looking into "solutions" if you didn't finish it (like me)
>>
>>562574310
bps are worthless anyways even while doing expeditions you just feed that shit to the "Provisions" section anyways or sell them for raw value. The only thing that sucks is like losing a few attachment bps like silencers.

>>562583170
pretty sure 3-4
might be 3 because I think my plan is to make my alt eat one and make a couple survivors and just pass them to my main, and see how long I can do the expedition without eating the blueprint so I can hold onto them longer
I got one as a trial reward at the beginning of this expedition and lasted like 2 weeks with it before losing it and then just trading a blueprint from my alt

It’s just a gear check for smokes and lures- if they even decide to work. Loot is crapola. No other raiders around in the area to help

Can buy smokes daily and lures are a BP like 5 quests in. Plus the cloak is a quest item, im certain of it. If not, I am sure it comes already learned and all you need is a level 3 bench.

>>562648006
It's kinda different and meta changing in its own way. It's the in-between of the Stitcher and Bobcat to encourage freegros to actually build a kit and since it takes medium ammo you can run it with a Renegade with 400 ammo and have your long and medium/short range fully covered with one ammo type.
>>
don't forget your meds schizo. they make you a little less insufferable to everyone that has to interact with you

I sure do love every blue in the game using the medium ammo.

what fucking data are they even looking at to suggest it's good? blows my mind
>>
>>562666865
I did see one post saying that a lot of the data is probably coming from cheaters using it
It's deadly in pvp if you land headshots, and cheaters are the ones who can do that with ease
Otherwise it seems like the average player tries it out against ARC and is like
>well this thing fucking sucks
or uses it in pvp
>this thing only works in close quarters and I have like 6 other guns I could use that are better
>>
>>562666865
I hate this balancing by the data bullshit. Like dude, use your fucking eyes and common sense.

>>
>>562667070
how in the fuck is it doing well in datasheets? it loses to the twice nerfed venny both in stats and cost, for fucks sake
and that's on top of horrendous recoil/dispersion with the bottom 2 ammo economy in the game
>>
>>562669835
probably wrong
but nobody uses it, except cheaters with pinpoint accuracy
>>
>>562669928
>chart made post venny nerf, before toro nerf
i mean, it's not a big difference, but at the same time there are weapons that are clearly superior to the bettina
the "cheater stats" don't line up, it doesn't make any fucking sense
>>
>>562670462
Part of the PvP in the game is getting the drop on people are knowing when to push
Cheaters even have that stuff covored
>can see where people are through walls
>can see when someone is holding heals and going to use them
On spreadsheets yea, it wouldn't make sense, but that's basically considering a perfect scenario where both people start shooting each other at the same time, not one guy playing normally with a chance to make mistakes vs another guy playing with a bot that aims for your head every time no matter what

but I could be completely wrong, I'm just going off a post I read forever ago, and that nobody legitimate is using the bettina, pretty sure there was a post in this thread where anon was like
>tried the bettina

>>562692060
I found 1 (only one) in the first season and I dont remember where
I found 1 (one) in Spaceport at the very end of the second season after searching literally months for it everywhere without luck
This season I found 2 (two) in Spaceport without much effort
Something is very fucked with the Smoke Grenade blueprint but Spaceport seems to do the trick for now
>>
>>562711747
I ended on 60 somehow
but took this after I started
so whenever that is
probably more chance the later you wait if you really care about that

Fresh, new map. We're gonna have a lot of fun together. You, and me.

Marathon has a real endgame, nothing to discuss here.

>don't care about trial rewards this season
>accidentally reach hot shot farming trials for blueprints

Anyways, does anyone use an alt for keeping blueprints they like? I'm getting ready for my 2nd expedition but I just got my first bobcat bp.

I've got an alt account on my steamdeck that I used to transfer blueprints my 1st expedition. I'm realizing I could just lvl 3 my alts benches and use that as my main accounts arms dealer. Anyone else doing something similar?

Part of me thinks it might be a pain giving the alt materials, but that can't be worse than losing your favorite blueprints every 60 days, can it?
>>
>>562732403
yea I'm considering something similar, just keep the alt at 0 expeditions, feed it every blueprint once, I can just send my main supplies when I need it
otherwise I just give myself the blueprints I want
>survivor
>seeker nade
>silencer II
I seem to be able to get everything else through the shop and I dont pvp
>>
>>562732403
>Part of me thinks it might be a pain giving the alt materials
if you know the routes on your main, its not too hard just doing it them on your alt
>>
>>562733624
Reminds me I need to farm blue gate / stella for survivor

>>562734071
fair, it's also not too terrible turning the pc and deck on at the same time to lobby up and transfer if I have the materials ready to go on the main
>>
Hope new map is very pretty and relaxing. Tired of ugly maps, like Stella and Dam
>>
>>562732403
>Anyways, does anyone use an alt for keeping blueprints they like? I'm getting ready for my 2nd expedition but I just got my first bobcat bp.
Idk, that seems so lame to me. The whole point is to grind up again, and its a bit of fun doing that. Instantly giving yourself the most important item in the game takes away a bit of fun.
>>
>>562735713
my 2nd pc kinda sucks, so I have it set up so I can easily switch between accounts
also lets me play the game on my alt and accidentally hit hotshot without trying on my main
>>
loool consolenigger aim
>>
>>562736983
>lame
Fair, I don't think any of the blueprints really gave me that much of an edge outside of the ammo mags. The shop's daily 3 anvil's and 3 il toros are more than enough to solo the expedition pages and $3m requirement.
>>
>>562744149
And you can kind of treat it as a way to explore all the different augs. Maybe this wipe you find the combat instead of the survivor. Or you find one of the tactical ones. Maybe the flanking and roll with whatever you get. That way, you roll with whatever pink aug the RNG simulator spits out at you instead of losing your hair trying to do naked night runs for 8 hours straight or eliminating the fun of searching entirely by gifting it to yourself.
>>
I actually just got the flanking aug, wish it could equip blue shields though.
>>
>>562745338
Yeah the pink looting aug being able to equip blues but not the damn combat aug is diabolical.

>aimkeys team throws tnades that insta-nuke a team of three with no possible reaction from the enemy team

i remember one of the CM's or maybe a dev in the discord replying to someone about tnades after the nerf

you dont even have to play the game to see tnades are still OP, just watch any top pvp streamer and you tell me with a straight face that tnades are in a good spot.

Anon, RMT cheating is a business. Just because you chose ignorance, it doesn't mean you're not retarded.
>>
>>562785171
What percentage of my games do you think has these cheaters? How does it affect me in any way outside of possibly missing out on loot in a single raid
>>
>>562784894
I was the original anon you responded to I only replied twice, dunno about these other anons lol but yeah I quit Tarkov after starting it in alpha and somewhere around the latest city map and fell for their pipe dream of all the maps being connected which Arc Raiders has a more realistic goal of copying.
Very educational on Russian culture during those many hours and history. Incompetent jank is all I see of that game now.
>>
>>562785774
Tarkov had moments where more than half of your raid were cheaters, with more than 3/4ths of those being silent RMT looters that basically globally lowered loot availability, especially rare items.
ABMM helps currently, as they are contained to high-rating lobbies, for the most part, but if the competition there gets tight it's only logical that they will spread of try to find alternative methods.

>>
>>562787654
if you've ever walked into a room to find just 1 or 2 open loot containers, it's because a player with ESP stole all the blueprints to sell on a 3rd-party marketplace. PvE servers are the place to do this because you can steal shit under other player's noses with no consequences or risk.
>>
>>562788717
that kinda explains the pvefags crying about never finding certain bps

sometimes I run by unopened containers on my way to somewhere and I don't clear the whole room lol, this is schizo shit
>>
>>562789635
nah, he's got a point, usually those specific containers will have a single item looted
in hotspots (like stella assembly) you can encounter this shit as frequently as every 5 or so raids.

They need to either split PvP and PvE or get rid of ABMM. I am tired of getting shot while in a "friendly lobby", it would be better if it was truly random so everyone played more intelligently, including myself.

getting iced in "friendly lobbies" is 100% a skill issue. develop a survival instinct instead of demanding that the game be lowered to your own level of personal stupidity

the TTK is already glacially long compared to contemporary shooters and making it even longer would make fights feel like shit.

>>562798208
As long as you're not given a near-guaranteed action even if you fumble in the hardest possible way, then the whole gameplay ALWAYS devolves into infofagging and stealth, especially so in solos.
If I can't deploy utility in a firefight without initiative before getting glassed this faggotry will never change.

Like duh, you can just play around information LIKE EVERY FUCKING SHOOTER EVER, instead of making something more than that.

Cheaters are not a PvPjeet problem.
PvPjeets use a Cronus device with a script, they go to sleep, while their character runs around, and dies, without dealing damage to players.

This cheat device plays the game for you, lowers ABMM to a minimum. You wake up, and get all the delicious Chungus lobbies.

You are arguing against combat depth and the whole system to be defined by NOTHING but initiative?

Friendlies often get upset that "the vibe is ruined" or "there's a rat", and will shoot back.

Bingo, their account is ruined. Now they have an aggression rank. If you ever scratched a player with your bullet or melee(!), you will never escape Ratkanda.
>>
>>562799369
you're a faggot, because we actually agree with each other but you still wanted to pick a fight. it's clear that the context of the discussion is revolving around solo play and that no particular set of balance changes is going to make everyone happy; so, if a person doesn't like the way the game is, they should just leave instead of eternally kvetching on /vg/

>>562798992
longer TTK will not increase combat depth. Longer TTK just turns combat into a gear check instead of a skill check.
>>
>>562798208
Why should abmm exist then? To me it's the devs not having confidence in their pvpve design and this is an easy out. Why would they implement a system that lets you increase likeliness of one game type or another? Just let it be always pvpve and the player can't make any assumptions. Either that or nut up and split the game types. I know it's always pvpve but abmm causes players to assume they are in one or the other and the system is easily manipulated by fags
>>

>>562800032
>longer TTK will not increase combat depth. Longer TTK just turns combat into a gear check instead of a skill check.
First of all, we are in a fucking extraction shooter. You know, where loot and gear is the center of the game?
Second, your ambush/info advantage doesn't go away, it simply stops being a win button. A guy that's dead can't do things to increase the complexity of the encounter because he's... dead.

I am expecting an initiative back and fourth as it happens in trios, but in solos, yet that's never going to happen when death is just a headshot and a half away, and utility is almost never used because just shooting is far more efficient.

>>

>either be friendly in the friendly neighborhood servers or have fun in the call of dooty lobbies
I'm always in minimum ABMM, friendly lobbies. Always killing a dude who wants to extract.
I will not let the game "send me' to cowadooty lobbies.
I will reverse boost my account.
>>
>>562800545
I do play in friendly only lobbies exclusively. And when I get shot while I am busy fighting arc or doing trials I get pissed off because there is no reason I should be paired with a kos pvper. The abmm doesn't work and I don't see a reason for it to exist.
>>
>>562800615
My bad it was poorly worded. I'm trying to say abmm is a half assed way to appease pve players and it gives a false sense of safety. It implies that you will get a certain lobby based on your behavior but it's not really true. I have 400 hours with like 15 kills so you know I pve only. I'm just getting tired of feeling like abmm failed when I get kos'd. Just chilling with other guys talking when a minute later some fuck with a vent iv kills me.

People just ignore a bunch of containers in Assembly because they aren't worth it. All of the carts have good shit in them. White medical-style carts, orange tool carts, and the little cubby carts. If you spawn in Assembly you just have free access pvp willing to a bunch of epic items and blueprints. There is nothing worth breaching there.
>>
>>562814195
I found a bp in one of those things that you can breach with the PC parts in them. Breach them all the time now.
>>
>>562814489
I breach them when I can it's just the time investment vs beelining all the carts or finding a raider bag that spawns there, before others get them or alerting players in pvp is a big gamble.

Bigger question is: Why does Stella have a random chance for a much darker nightraid without nightraid loot?

What's the trick to downing Surveyors quickly? Me and two dudes got pinned down on Dam by two of those fuckers and a Rocketeer.

I kept doing damage and downed the Rocketeer but the time was running out to kill the last Surveyor and we had to extract, one dude disappeared, the other was still alive when I told him to follow me to the extract but he was too scared to leave, probably died with only 2 mins on the clock.
>>
>>562828202
I think you mean the vaporizer, surveyor is the metal ball dude, as for killing the vaporizer fast only with wolfpack you shot with a hullcracker for it to use the shield after the shield is off you use wolfpack and 2 hullcracker shots.

It is the ONLY way to get assessor parts. They're optional for any other use but there is only photo + smoke method to be the first to get those parts unless you do trios. No idea what slaughter is going on there. You could just hunt and kill some people and be done with that grind eventually.
>>
>>562894503
yea true, I just remember deleting a bunch, but I used one on my main at some point so I'll just transfer grenades to my alt that way and hope for a blueprint in the future
>>
assessors arent too bad in friendly lobbies, people seem to respect the first one there gets to loot it, everyone else seems to be fine killing the gaporizers as long as the breachers are spamming smokes, but they seem to just let the arc kill a guy if he's not doing anything to help himself while breaching, or the arc are just that hostile to breachers

Newish player here of like, 16 days in. I'm finally getting around to doing the quests, but they are such a pain in the ass to do. Every quest is essentially go to a far east point on the map to touch a doo-hickey, now do you the very west point on the map to touch another doo-hickey in the same match or you have to do it again. Is it worth doing these?
>>
>>562906102
yea the later ones have decent blueprints
>>
>>562906991
Well shit. The quests wouldn't be so bad if they weren't the worst examples of boring fetch quests imaginable. Even spicing it up with something as simple as you go to breach a chest for the quest, and when you do a tick jumps out at you suddenly. Maybe I'll just turn on music while I grind them out. Is there a forced progression wipe coming up next month as well?
>>
>>562907453
the other good one is hullcracker
I think there is a guide to show which quests to do if there is only certain blueprints you want
I'd arguably say hullcracker is the best one, especially with the current event

>Is there a forced progression wipe coming up next month as well?
oh didn't finish reading
but no, no forced wipes, there are optional wipes, but you never have to do them and you're not missing out on anything if you wanted to do it later
its almost more like "prestiging" your account
whenever you do the first "wipe" you do the same thing everyone else did and get the same rewards for doing it

Finally forced to upgrade from my Dec 2024 Nvidia drivers, after avoiding having to do so through all of 2025 during Nvidia's driver shitstorm.
Now this game keeps fucking crashing. All the time. Consistently, every single raid, freezes up and crashes to desktop. I can boot the game back up and reconnect to match but I'm usually fucked.

What time does the store updates?

the jupiter is pretty fun, plus nobody really wants the energy ammo from the vaporizer anyway

At least playing with them doesn't seem to have as strong of an affect on my solo matchmaking compared to if I was this much of a braindead retard while solo.
>>
>>562927594
I feel bad for convincing 2 of my friends to drop $40 on it because they just want to shoot people. So now that I'm finally out of Baltimore and into care bear lobbies, I have to change the subject when they float the idea of hopping on to join me.
I would love to run Stella with them again, but fixing my matchmaking afterward just so I can accomplish goals solo without being hunted by everyone within earshot is such a colossal waste of my evening.
>>
>>562928212
I've never even been to Stella, because all I know about it is that it's the place you go to if you want to pvp. Is it like that even in the care bear lobbies? Only ever killed one person in this game, and that was after I warned them like, 3 times to fuck off or I would shoot back. They were a terrible shot.
>>
>>562928483
I'm the original anon and the best way to gauge your matchmaking is that you're in Detroit if you get shot every time you enter, and you're in the good goy PVE matchmaking if you only get shot 50% of the time.
>>
>>562928729
50% huh? Think I'll just skip Stella for now then. I don't even usually fight back, I'm pretty new but already I have a maxed stash that I am constantly fighting with keeping just under the limit and half a million credits, I'd rather replace what I have then fight people for it honestly. I think I have ultra good boy lobbies though, I've died to arc more than players, and I always bring in three defibs and use them when I can.
>>
>>562930431
Stella is THE ratnigger map. It has a bunch of blueprints specitically only available there (mostly all of the grenades/mines I think) so If you have wholesome chungus matchmaking normally you may probably still be fine.
But the hours you play will also have an effect on matchmaking just by availability of players.

How does one use the Jupiter effectively?
Every time I tried it it seemed middling and not worth its legendary status, but seeing how everyone says it's good I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong. I know it penetrates armor but the damage was meh nonetheless.
>>
>>562941089
>fixed the click buffer bug on ferrosprey
finally, thank fuck
>>
>>562946848
it bypasses the armor but you still need to hit the core of the Arc to take full advantage of it
>>
>>562947120
Is that the very center of it or does it vary from arc to arc and I need to google it?
>>
>>562947342
it's usually at the center of the machine but for example the bastion/bombardier it's slightly lower than you'd expect from its profile
>>
>>562947661
Thanks Anon. I'll try it out more.

not sure how many shots for Vaporizer, but if you're aiming for the core it feels pretty fast
kind of sucks for easy arc
like I could just pull out my anvil to deal with wasps
but seems great for big arc, havent tried it on Bastion

Bettina is a fun pick for Queen/Matriarch because it chews off the armor very quickly.
I think those two are its only real use case at range because they're big enough targets you can reliably burst fire or even full auto if you want without missing too many shots. Trying to fight something like a Rocketeer fucking sucks, because of the bloom combined with low velocity.
If I wanted to buff it without touching its raw DPS I would do this:
>Reduce dispersion aka. bloom on the level of a Compensator 2
>~20% bullet velocity and range buff
>Burns significantly less durability. Like 66% less.
I don't know how to solve the ammo issue, but maybe start with making the gun feel like it's WORTH crafting 10 stacks of bullets for.
>>
What is the point of this damn thing?
>Combat MK2
>Except it carries less shit
>And it can only run lvl 1 shield
>And it's more expensive to craft
+1 keister I guess
>>
Are we back?
>>
>>562970089
Id be using it if not for that durability. I can handle the chemical bottle neck on ammo making but damn is durability a shit mechanic.
>>
>>562970089
I think the Bettina just needs to be made a green/blue weapon. It clearly isn't going to become a meta pick, so why not just make it easier to come by? It might even help shove the meta CQB blasters down a little.

>>562970595
it's got infinite free defibs. Which is still a fucking terrible bonus, but ostensibly, it's why it exists.
>>
>>562970595
yea not sure
especially sine defibs arent limited to daily anymore
its 10k for 3 or whatever

>>562970683
probably slow down again once people are over the assessor event

oh yea
but it still feels kinda useless, I think its on a 30s cooldown too

Cheaper to use Impact Grenades but does require a little aim. Anyone tried using volcanic stones for maximum hobo tactics?

why? you're bringing a wolfpack anyways
1 crude and 2 arc metal is not much to accompany it

yea, glitching for me aswell

how do you guys get spotter relays, getting around to doing this trophy shit

>>563000869
aggro the spotters from decently far away and then shoot them before they lase you for the bombardier

I desperately want the Green skill tree to get an end node which cuts looting time for arc. Looting every pop, tick, and wasp is such a pain in the ass

>>563005315
And I mean that as in the guys who need it aren't getting it*
>>
Did they change Lure Grenades to just make them suicide buttons or something? I swear, every time I throw one there is a 0.10 second delay before every enemy in the vicinity is now aggroed on me and firing simultaneously. I threw one to distract a vaporizer and it just did a little spin in place and then immediately lasered me before my lure grenade had even *hit the ground*.
>>
>>563003028
Id argue blue gate checkpoint. Theres almost always one there.
>>
>>563008132
I've had the same thing
I'm wonder if it's one of those
>my computer runs so well its making the lure grenades interact weird
or some freamerate shit, I'm losing my mind seeing people do clips of throwing them perfectly and saving their own ass, or somehow they throw it and I guess it landed perfectly in a bush to distract a bunch of arc for the longest time I've ever fucking seen instead of just shooting it out of the air
>>
Man, even making the wolfpack require rocketeer driver wasn't enough for them. Two wolfpacks doesn't even kill a Rocketeer anymore and vaporizers just zap them out of existence. These grenades are fucking worthless now.
>>
>>563011087
Rocketeer always took me 2
Vaporizer seems to only take 1 if you actually bait the shield before throwing it

The new mode is great, just pick up all the extra arc shit
possibly fill your inventory with blues if you can
then just sell it all once your filled up and extract

lets you fight arc and make money, which is more fun than just running around looting imo

What the fuck do I do with all these keys? I usually bring in two for a night raid, but the doors are open and looted 75% of the time when I get there, so they just go back in my pocket for the next raid but at this point I have 25ish keys in my stash and I can't use them fast enough before I get more. I can't stop picking them up either because I am a greedy nigger. Why can't this game have an in game auction house, I don't want to sell them to the vendor for 100 coins.
>>
>>563017217
could use the out of game auction house
I think people trade them for seeds on metaforge
no idea tho, only used it for blueprints
>>
>>563017217
>What the fuck do I do with all these keys?
use them
>but I cant!
yes you can
>>
>>563018619
I'd rather sell them for 100 credits than deal with a 3rd party site.
>>563019214
How do I use them when the door is already open, retard?
>>
>>563017217
>>563020908
just bring them to any raid, not just night raids. if it's to the point where you're going to sell them, it's better to just use them regardless of loot value
>>
never seen a key skill issue, this game just keeps giving

is the matriarch the one the spawns in the bombadiers?

>>563024017
yes

Turns out like 1 in 2 of the Arc Couriers have the Vaporizer part inside during the EM storm.
This is way fucking easier than parking inside a building and waiting for the ground to stop burning so I can take a shot.
>>
>>563024017
Yes but if you're looking for spotter relays they down spawn those during matriarch

I'm was looking for the cells
doesn't seem like day raids spawn bombadiers anymore

FUCK YOU SCRAPPY BLOODY BASTARD ROOSTER
>>
>>563044646
For me, I don't pvp and have started bringing a hullcracker or jupiter along with my anvil
so it just doesn't really fit in my kit

but I would probably use it if I used the Renegade more, and then kept that as my secondary for arc up close, I heard some pvpers are using that set up because its not bad for ammo, but no idea there, i just pve and usually go for the heavier stuff
>>
>>563044646
It feels fine as an upgrade to the stitcher but worse than the bobcat. which is a good thing but doesnt make it exciting this late into an expedition. The RNG aspect of hunting blueprints also kinda makes it retarded because day one expedition you can find a bobcat BP in some random trash can, thus invalidating the entire progression chain. That is kinda the down side to this RNG BP hunting, the progression gets a lot wonky and less clear.
>>
>>563059305
praying one day they implement a way to focus find blueprints
>>
best place for Leapers?
>>
>>563065010
to add
I was just thinking, if they added this, maybe make it an expedition thing, like each expedition lets you get so many "blueprint slots"
that would incentivize casuals to keep playing the game and even do the expedition, and you could potentially have a "complete account" after so many expeditions

You should try canto with anvil anon, I take the armor from leapers with anvil and then shred then with canto it kills then spectacularly fast and for stuff like bombardier that got no armor you can rape them, only flying stuff makes canto be completely shit for pve.

>>
>>563071818
Anon, you are getting it wrong, it's just a lot of people that posts in this general are mediocre, not the guns.
Anvil is a very fun handcannon, equalizer rapes arcs, jupiter destroys any arc, the shotguns are strong op in pvp, even torrente people here thinks is a meme is hella op in a pvp fight, people in this general has hard time killing fucking vaporizers which you can kill in under a minute taking no damage this general is dead cause its full of no skill console tards.
>>
This game has become tedious instead of relaxing now.
>>
>>563081553
that's true, but it doesn't mean that some weapons are mediocre on top of the players. most things are fine as they are though.
bettina is just atrocious in comparison to every other weapon outside of ONE VERY SPECIFIC role which can be disregarded by meta weapons anyways
canto is just a stitcher+ with the most horrendous ammo econ in the game
equalizer is just a bettina+ (no i'm, not taking it back, jupiter is 3 times better for the same cost)
aphelion is too expensive to be a battle rifle with no scope

but they did add a stash total when you check your stash so you can kind of figure it out yourself beforehand

Ah, that's why I couldn't find that screen. I should probably knock out my expedition, managing my stash has been a nightmare and finding a meaningful way to clear it sounds nice.

My point is you're a moron for saying "statistically more likely" when that's literally not the case. Maybe if you said "there's a good chance" which I'd agree 40% is a good chance, but not statistically more likely.
>>
>>563151281
Nigga, you've seen the classification of "white" in the databases, don't kid yourself.
>>
>>563151361
So you are just retarded, got it.
>White alone, not Hispanic or Latino, percent
>57.5%
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045224
>>
>>563151601
Check any crime database for mugshots and witness the most asian/gringo looking motherfuckers be classified as "non-hispanic white".
The only concern here could be "the databases are different", whereas there's not really much reason for it to not be unified in that manner. If the classifications are made at birth based on parents instead, it merely means that the stats are lagging behind for a generation.

You're throwing around gov stats like they're gospel, fucking retard.
>>
If I make my raider a black male with a fro, you guys wouldn't shoot me on sight, right? You guys are just making jokes, right?
>>
>>563152216
by gamer standards niggers are harder to see in the dark
you're still more likely to get shot or for others be more wary of you because those are pvp-focused advantages
>>
>>563151961
It's the census versus random police departments my guy. The pics you're talking about do not say "non-hispanic white" they just say "white" which is what the problem is. Please feel free to provide some examples to support your claim, retardnigger.
>>
>>563152479
You've encouraged me to do some mutt research on how it is conducted, and I can confidently say that census race stats are to be, largely, ignored or taken with a pile of salt, because they are... self reported.
The stats are a social representation of who the people think they are, not anything beyond that.
>>
>>563153265
And the stats you have to backup your claim that the US and less than 57% white are...?
>>
>>563153813
Do you seriously expect a peak example of a melting pot, a race-mixing haven, a place of cultural clashes and constant inner turmoil to have sane self-reporting practices when there's not even the slightest social barrier for defining outsiders?
You're insane.

The method that every census in the world is self-reported?

>>563154434

No, I just expect you not to be a retarded nigger.

>>
>>563155275

I never understood this, do you yuros think the race stats are for individual makeup, so the average person is 60% white, 20% black, 20% asian or whatever? That must have been how the term came to be.

Soon.
>>
>>563179452
if you really want to strip boss armour to loot, take a bettina 1 and throw it away in the same match because it's probably gonna be broken anyways
jupiter deals with any light to medium arc multiple times better, on greater ranges, with less needed precision.
if you want to kill a boss, use deadlines and stop being a retard about it
>>
>>563179645
i need like 9 assessors
>>
>>563182194
the assessors was the hardest for me
>>
>>563184876
I've gotten it down pretty good its just getting canisters for the smoke grenades

ziplin+cloak is goated
>>
>>563187215
right but its more about other people getting there first and scooping it up. the vaporisors was the easiest part, they spawn every match and it was a matter of killing them. assessors felt like luck of the draw.
>>
>>563188447
I've kind of figured out
let the first one come in, doesn't really matter, some guys can get those if they really want, sometimes its just freekits grabbing the assessor matrix and dying so its whatever
if I'm near the second when it comes in, then i'll try if nobody is there
otherwise I just wait in the middle of the map until the next one spawns
or I just wait for a 3rd 4th etc

eventually one flies down near me, i don't try to run across the map every time one spawns
>>
Remember, you DON'T have to do the expedition.
Those additional skill points won't matter and by the time you're full level to use them the next expedition will be around the corner.
>>
>>563196831
I'll probably do this one and then see how far I get for the next one
got enough skillpoints to mostly get me everything I want at the moment, might need like 1 more expedition to try and get Loaded Arms perk in green to save even more weight

but I got work coming up so probably will be one of those "gamer dad" types
>>
>>563196831
We'll see soon if the people saying that there are only 3 expeditions worth of skill points are right about their prediction. They pretend to know this somehow
>>
>>563137924
only for you stink rats, for me it's a fun place walk by and interact with people, yesterday we were a team of 20+ people in a solo match all instantly killing vaporizers, there was so many people in our group we couldn't all use the extract and had some guys wait for another later.

What exactly am I deluding? You saying chungartha doesn't exist when it's a fucking made up word for PvE lobbies when myself and others have posted about how we're in PvE lobbies is fucking moronic.

No one knows how ABBM truly works except Embark, so you talking about how it's actually PvP skill based is just made up shit, aka headcanon.

I'm honestly not interested in reading between lines, what you say is what you get.

You're not interested because you literally can't read between them, not even aware they're there. Just proves again it's a type of retardation.
>>
>>563231874
Not necessarily, no. You don't get non-verbal signals in fucking TEXT.
So for example if you pretend to be retarded it's the same as being retarded because I've got neither time nor information not interest in dissecting near-esoteric bullshit from an oddly placed comma or some other shit.

This catch up mechanism is making me not want to do the expeditions if I can just catch up anyway later. I'm also tired of hunting for bps and now I have some rare ones like smoke grenades and barricades.

>>563262640
The only BPs not worth losing are Survivor (don't have it so no loss) and imo Canto because it's just such aids to get. Think I'm just going to get my friend to hold a few BPs for me after expedition and then I'll have lost nothing of real value.

Yeah it's a pain to get and I've gotten it every single time but idk if I want to bother hunting for that again either. and smoke and barricade seem just as rare

You know, I used to rage at the people who shoot me in the back when I'm basically a carebear who just wants to loot some materials so he can craft his favorite stuff and get queen reactors and kill matriarch.
But there's always people who ruin that for me and I get mad and tell them to kill themselves. But now I realize, this is needless attachment to the material, and I can confidently queue knowing that if a rat kills me when I allow him to loot the rest of my key room, I will not be mad, I will simply laugh at them for being stuck in the cycle of rebirth.

I think I am finally bored of this game. Assessor missions weren't really worth it and the only thing I still want to do is my second expedition for which I already have over three million. Once that is done I might play it occassionally if someone asks me to.
But at 270 hours of playtime I definitely got my 35€ worth of entertainment out of it. Even bought the latest swat skin to support the game. Did a good job of entertaining me.

>>563328258
Smoke bomb, cloak, assessor, put it in your safe pocket.
>>
>>563328258
A combination of lures, smoke grenades, ziplines, electric cloak and the right skilltree.
>>
>>563328460
>>563328529
I have done all that and still need 17. They see through the smoke everytime it seems.
>>
>>563328954
You get real close with your cloak, throw a smoke grenade or two, breach, get all items asap, use the cloak again then gtfo.
>>
>>563328258
get there first and have smokes
I feel like its super easy

if you aren't there first get prepared to run to the next one

in friendly lobbies a lot of people finished their assessors so the whole lobby will go around killing the arc because they need vaporizer cores
usually I see this on Spaceport and Blue Gate, sometimes Buried City
Dam usually has people scared of doing it, or doing it naked, or not enough smokes, and the guy dies and everyone extracts, so if you plan your smokes and have a cloak, I've looted a whole assessor to myself, which was like 7 assessor things
2 in 2
3 in 1
and extracted
>>
>>563328954
I found I have to throw one at the bottom of the ramp, go up the ramp, then throw another and that seems to work, but yea sometimes the arc see right through it, I assume they locked onto you and are kind of assuming where you are, like the bastion and vaporizer and bombadier do
>>
>>563328373
None of those are my type of games.
I'll just go back to playing older console systems and programming shit with LLMs I guess unless something that fancies me comes out.
I was counting on Marathon but it turned into a dud and I don't like the direction the game took compared to the betas.

And there's always Arc Raiders updates coming.

>>563330572
Dam at the water extract

Buried city is your safest bet. They either spawn at the Park, Plaza Rosa and Piazza Arbusto.

Forgot to quote whoops >>563330572

It's a good to remind you the differences between the good and bad matchmaking, because the instant you queue into trios as a solo you ARE going to get shot on sight no matter what. I've had 1 (one) game where I've queued into trios with no loadout and came up behind a group as they were finishing looting a place, watched them, and then 2 started talking to me while the 3rd shot me in the back of the head. I knew this was going to happen I just wanted to see how long it would take.

My many-times-over proven theory is the moment you queue for a team, every stranger instantly becomes a rat in waiting, and the behavior of all these teams treating each other like rats ends up in a confirmation bias loop. Just like how even solo's if you get into Rat matchmaking complaining about rats as you rat someone.

I've not been shot on sight in solo vs trio

What if instead of having to burn mats to repair your gun after every raid, you had to perform standard weapon maintenance to keep it from jamming/exploding.
And it was this realistic, 10-step process that took 5-10 minutes between raids involving disassembly, cleaning it, oiling it, reassembly, then like making love to it or whatever. And despite being a well thought out mechanic, everyone got sick of the chore by day 3 and then begged for the old repair system.

What is the incentive to push Hotshot right now instead of hanging here for 2 more weeks and then sprinting the last mile for the finish, exactly as I did last season?
I might get promo'd anyway just for doing 3 stars, kek.
>>
I'm doing expedition so I dont even know why I keep these

I still hold onto nice dupe prints in case my friend hops back on (he won't)

Ah yes let me risk my loot by saving your ass just to kill you with literally no time left to even loot your body if I did

Faggot, you're ousting yourself as the same type of nigger you're crying about.
Solo vs Trios have an ABMM curve skewed towards friendly lobbies because of a low matchmaking pool, it literally takes you 1 death to be back in sus lobbies and 2 to make it to friendly lobbies.
>>
>>563363680
Mule them.
>>
>>563343291
that's like every game, unless you're not at least top 15%-10% of players you're retarded
>>
I never shoot anyone, even if they shoot me I just try to convincen them to stop. Yet for someone reason I keep getting matched with rats who shoot me in the back while I'm looting. And it really is starting to piss me off.
>>
>>563361668
that is the >reddit strat
and it works
just have to be careful when you join the leaderboard because more people might be thinking the same thing this season
>>563363680
I bought a second account to just learn all my blueprints and hold onto extras when I finish doing the expedition on my mai
>>563393694
yea true
>>563399241
if EU I hear thats more common
if NA then idk, I have been shot in the back more recently, but since i don't fight back, I'm immediately shoved into retard lobbies (full friendly lobbies)
>>
>>563399241
how long have you been playing and how many ppl have you killed
>>
>>563361668
wonder if i should drop rank the next two weeks
and then double promote

my unintentionally strategy is playing on my second account and not worrying about the leaderboard, and then joining the leaderboard on my main account when theres like 3 days left

doesn't seem to work when the season is close to ending, but that double promote from DDII strat works

arguably speaking hullcracker is still stronger than jupiter, it just has a less comfort in usability
>>
>>563404123
jupiter is just better at longer range. hullcracker shits on everything harder than jupiter once in hully range
>>
>>563404614
needs another nerf, considering the hunk'o'junk costs 3 peanuts for the shit it does
>>
Jupiter might be my favorite gun
>>
>>563401425
I'm in EU. I also hesitate to call people spiritually jewish niggers when they do it because idk if you can get banned for voicechat.

in case someone is interested about durability of some weapons (most spreadsheeds dont have this data for some reason)
dolabra - 242 shots; 0.4132% per shot; 31 clips
jupiter - 126 shots; 0.7936% per shot; 26 clips
aphelion - 1009 shots; 0.0991% per shot; 101 clip

you still have to do it at night?

sucks tfue stopped playing. aimkey sucks so much as a streamer, yaps way too much.

Night raid Stella archives
>>
>>563421821
yes and no? if you're looting random junk on the map it has basically no effect outside of findinf specific BPs tied to that event, keyrooms on the other hand...
>>
you guys have any success or tips for feeding scrappy

might make those fruit basket things soon. not sure if its worth, but I have nothing else to do until the expedition
>>
>>563430029
just do fruit mix or agave, everything else is a meme
>>
>>563418727
>>563425031
glad they're worth it now
>>
>>563425635
I've been doing keyrooms this whole week grinding for the expedition and so far I've found the same amount of loot during night raids. Hell, most of the time I've gotten more security lockers inside during regular raids
>>
>looting that one room in the spaceport container storage
>guy notices I beat him to it and commits suicide
>he was fully kitted

>>563432949
I would say a disconnect, but I don't think that suicides you
Maybe he forgot he actually had a real kit on him lmao
>>
>>563432949
>>563433632
nah was his ah-hah moment when i stopped playing the game

I hope they tell us the new expedition stuff soon

Also expecting expedition 4 to need Assessor Matrixes

WEEK OLD THREAD WTF? HOW DID WE FALL OFF SO HARD
>>
LMAO
>>
>>563445951
game is filled with npc console niggers and hyper wagies
>>
Every raid I load into is around 18 minutes left.
It happened so many times I wonder did they change something? Is there a checkbox I need to press to not be loaded into half over raids?
>>
>>563447645
freekits now join late 99% of the time
>>
that wasnt too bad
and I have a bunch of fruit still
>>
>>563447645
They rightfully sent free kits to the late party mines
>>
>>563447996
>>563449102
I have my own loadout. No free kits. I run with hull cracker too and still get sent to 18 mins.
>>
>>563449325
Then you're just getting unlucky I guess. I have been sent to a late lobby only twice since they updated it
>>
>>563448987
prickly pears are the real bottleneck
>>
>>563384694
Just got mine after doing 3+ hours of naked runs straight to Reinforced Reception. Never did a naked run to farm a BP before, the first 3 minutes are a fucking bloodbath. Really sharpened up my pvp skills. Most fun I've had in the game so far.

LOL. Why didn't you shoot him on site? 99% of times where I was killed in this game was by a no-mic player.

>>563450662
yea
I'm guessing they're a lush blooms spawn or something
I was barely finding any unless I go to Dam
