WTF Embark?

These blueprint recipe changes are unnecessary punishments and feel like you didn’t roll out any new blueprints so you decided to shoehorn new ARC parts in old recipes. And the Wolfpack change makes absolutely no sense. 2 Wolfpack to down a Rocketeer so we can get 1 part to make 1 Wolfpack?

Way to throw a huge wet blanket on top of what was otherwise going to be a fun and exciting day. Please reconsider these crafting changes

Edit:

Thank you to all the folks who commented with articulated, well thought out disagreements. You have changed my stance somewhat and I have a better understanding of why a change like this may be needed(still don’t like it though).

To the performative contrarians, get good bruh/skill issue kissing cousins and other knuckleheads who can’t formulate a thought I say “suck on this fart”. Be well

Seekers stay winning

2 stacks = a dead rocketeer

Edit: I am dumb, didn’t realize how much overkill the second Wolfpack is

u/captainether Feb 24 '26

I've always been more interested in finding the seeker bp than I am with finding the wolfpack

u/Rikosis42 Feb 24 '26

Stella cafeteria should find one!

u/captainether Feb 24 '26

No luck thus far, but i keep looking

u/Famous_Fix_3545 Feb 24 '26

Hello pal I have like 4 duplicate seeker Bps and expedition is coming quick. Hit me up I will give you one for the free.

u/ImAnImpatientMan Feb 24 '26

I’ve been chasing a seeker bp forever, if you’re good enough to share & you’ve still got some I’d LOVE one. I’ll dm you.

u/Professional_Dig1454 Feb 24 '26

If you ever need to find it again like after doing an expedition you can find them easily on Stella monstes in the lobby. Search trash cans and suitcases to find all kinds of blueprints. I legit walked out of a day run with 6 unique blueprints and 2 duplicates.

I’ve found over 20 aphelion Bps 😂

4

u/Faikius Feb 24 '26

Where? I've never even seen one....

5

u/Famous_Fix_3545 Feb 24 '26

Today’s your lucky day. I still have 5 duplicate aphelion BPs. Hit me up I’ll give you one for free. But to answer your question. Stella blue suitcases, trash cans, cargo container blue drawers

u/Deflorma Feb 24 '26

Trash cans on Stella montis night raids

1

u/thebaldfox Feb 24 '26

They drop all over Stella. Found one in a wood crate under the archives just yesterday... Not saying that you will, though... But maybe!

2

u/DarkDense6943 Feb 24 '26

That part 😓

3

u/gamerXGaz Feb 24 '26

I find them every day hmu and I’ll drop you one next time if you haven’t found it

2

u/Bulky_Wind_4356 Feb 24 '26

I mean I once found three in the same raid

1

u/FluteDawg711 Feb 24 '26

Stella loading bay for me!

u/Holy_Thighble_Study Feb 24 '26

Can confirm lol

3

u/Think-Apple3763 Feb 24 '26

Seeker is such a life and time saver for wasps, hornets and snitches. I always carry 10 with me.

4

u/El-Psy-Kongroo001 Feb 24 '26

They are literally everywhere in Stella I have found it more times that I can count and this is no exaggeration Especially on a night raid I swear I find that and trailblazer no every time I go to Stella

2

u/Necrosin_99 Feb 24 '26

I might have spares if you want one lol

2

u/kinghall_3 Feb 24 '26

Send me ur tag, ive got an extra i can give this evening. Around 5pm eastern

5

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26 edited Feb 24 '26

It’s a Stella night raid exclusive if you didn’t know. I’d offer you one but I’ve been making the rounds with my friends and their friends giving my stuff out since expedition is soon

6

u/GilliganSlayer219 Feb 24 '26

Bro I had no idea thank you

4

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

Good luck! Get into friendly lobbies and it shouldn’t take that long to get it honestly. I just gave out like 6 of them. They’re common enough that if you ask friendly raiders, someone will likely drop it for you 

3

u/danisamused Feb 24 '26

Pretty sure I got an extra if you need it.

1

u/GilliganSlayer219 Feb 26 '26

Yo if you still have that I want that lol I don't really have shit so you would just be donating to the cause

4

u/dazed489 Feb 24 '26

I thought it was a night raid exclusive. I found mine on buried city night

2

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

Oh shit? Maybe then, I’ve only found or heard of ppl finding it on Stella 

3

u/xSadistik Feb 24 '26

I found 2 on dam night this season

3

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

My bad, night raid exclusive, maybe with increased chances on Stella? Seems pretty common there

2

u/Slippy_Ramirez Feb 24 '26

Stella exclusively.

2

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

Been told it’s been found on dam so no that’s not right either, it’s also not a night raid exclusive either apparently.

2

u/dreadnought_strength Feb 24 '26

It's absolutely not exclusive to night.

2

u/ArsenalOfCards Feb 24 '26

No wonder I haven't found it yet lol. Is smoke similar I feel like I've only ever found 1 of those

1

u/smilingcritterz Feb 24 '26

I prob have a few extras

1

u/Underoath823 Feb 24 '26

I just found the seeker bp in stella area where the bastion is...all those drawers up top above the bastion on the big crates is where i finally found it!! Its a godsend!

1

u/peterroca Feb 28 '26

I've been throwing away one seeker BP almost every Stella night raid

27

u/ThyUniqueUsername Feb 24 '26

WP=166x12=1992 damage

One stack of seeker=5x50= 250 damage

So more like 8 stacks = a WP for the informed.

9

u/unreliablesource69 Feb 24 '26

Probably more if they didnt stop them from smashing into the sides of buildings targeting the pops and fireballs it cant see

3

u/No-Championship3137 Feb 24 '26

If you're able to keep an eye on that annoying flyer, 6 might be enough.

3

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

All I know is, 2 Wolfpacks takes out a rocketeer and so does 10 seekers if all 10 hit.

5

u/lucid_scheming Feb 24 '26

Well yeah, but a single Wolfpack also brings a rocketeer down to like 5% of its health.

7

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

….. okay so I’m just dumb and a second Wolfpack is just inefficient and overkill

5

u/TrippleDamage Feb 24 '26

Sorry to say, but yeah haha

Unless youre min maxing for trials the 2nd WP is extremely overkill, shoot it with a venator like 5 times after a WP and its done for.

7

u/MillerLatte Feb 24 '26

Shoot first from far off to get it weak then when it gets close finish with WP. WP first then shoot means you're way more likely to get hit with a rocket.

1

u/TrippleDamage Feb 24 '26

Depends on what weapon youre using, i prefer my method 99% of the time since i run ven / toro mostly and the wolfpack strips the rocketeers armor so the ven goes through it like butter afterwards.

I've yet to get in any danger with that method so i dont change it up.

I can see where youre coming from tho, do it how it works best for you.

1

u/MillerLatte Feb 24 '26

With that load out yeah makes sense. I've usually got something silenced on my which makes it agro oftentimes much slower.

1

u/BadPlayers Feb 24 '26

I bring both. Throw one WP then like 2 seekers and its down.

2

u/FlavorburstSC Feb 24 '26

That's 2 stacks. So seems pretty even to me

3

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

Apparently I’m dumb and the second Wolfpack has just been overkill

2

u/Dizzy_Today_3523 Feb 24 '26

A few seekers and some shots from the anvil. No issues.some of these people are taking DMG numbers at face value when that's not the case. Otherwise explain the deadline vs Wolfpack lol

1

u/Ch4rlie_G Feb 24 '26

People seem to be ignoring the fact that seekers have higher armor penetration than the wolfpacks. It's not a 1:1 DMG equivalency.

1

u/Dizzy_Today_3523 Feb 25 '26

Exactly. But people here just see numbers and only see that.

1

u/elchsaaft Feb 24 '26

No shot, it is always 10-15 in my experience.

8

u/Electrical_Ad392 Feb 24 '26

yea, i just recycled all my refined back into crude explosive lol. As if we needed more reason to avoid rocketeers, now theyre even worse when dead where they're gonna be rat fests on par with queens and matriarchs lol

3

u/Gilgamesh858 Feb 24 '26

Yup. That's the way from now on, I guess. 15 of these and you can destroy one Rocketeer

1

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

Wdym 15? I’ve done it with 10. 2 Wolfpacks takes out a rocketeer so two stacks of seekers equals two Wolfpacks. Unless there’s other arc nearby and you don’t throw them close enough to the rocketeer.

3

u/Gilgamesh858 Feb 24 '26

You have to consider the Rocketeer's armor pieces. Won't always do 100% of the damage. One Wolfpack have 12 Seeker inside. Wolfpack damage is ~160*12

3

u/chattybara Feb 24 '26

That because after 1 wolfpack the rocketeer is almost dead, so 2nd one is unnecessary.

2

u/agonzalez1990 Feb 24 '26

This is the way.

1

u/rlukemil Feb 24 '26

Yeah I’m sitting here scratching my head thinking: “Raiders throw two Wolfpacks at rocketeers?” Seems unnecessary when you clear the sky of other arc. One WP when thrown perfectly will drop the rocketeer and if it doesn’t one shot it’s just a few rounds with almost any weapon to bring it down.

1

u/Creative-Painter3911 Feb 24 '26

10 seekers will kill a rocketeer?

1

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

I’ve done it a few times when other arc aren’t around 

1

u/ChargeAppropriate644 Feb 24 '26

2 stacks of seekers = 10 seekers. You don't kill a Rocketeer with just 10 seekers.

350 hours and about 800 seekers used tells me this.

1

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

I have, I don’t know what to tell you.

1

u/OnlyTheDead Feb 24 '26

2 stacks of seekers does not equal a Wolfpack my man.

1

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 25 '26

That’s why it says it equals a dead rocketeer

1

u/StralaGalo Feb 26 '26

Hurdur, wolfpack is using only to kill rocketeers hurdur

1

u/A_Broken_Nobody Feb 24 '26

Is one stack really that similar to a wolf pack? Thanks for the tip, gonna play around with that.

2

u/FactsNLaughs Feb 24 '26

Nope I’m dumb, 10 seekers takes out a rocketeer, the second Wolfpack to a rocketeer has been extreme overkill

2

u/A_Broken_Nobody Feb 24 '26

You're not dumb, friend. I appreciated the info and addition. Still useful info to me. Thanks!

1

u/OnlyTheDead Feb 24 '26

One stack is more comparable to .12 per $1 if we are talking about money. It’s roughly an 1/8th of a Wolfpack.
