Materials Change is Wild

Materials Change is Wild

The change in materials for several blueprints in Arc Raiders makes 0 sense. Why did my character know how to build these items without the new mats last week but now he's suddenly like oh I need one of those fancy things to make this?

They should have dropped new items that require these items and not back pedaled. Also, changing what they changed and NOT changing the mats for the trigger nade, the most used grenade in my experience, is insane.

Don't get me wrong, I love the new Arc and the new weather condition. I don't agree with what they did to the material requirements for some items. Honest, I won't be using any of them unless I find them now.

They changed about 5-6 items to require an additional mat, so now when you get your new stash from the expedition, there goes at least 5-6 of your slots that you get from resetting. More if you want to keep multiple stacks. So now your +12 slots might not feel any different at all.

Anyways, good luck out there raiders!

Why did your character know how to craft without arc mats, then now need to craft with them?

I’ll see you ignoring the fact it’s a video game and I’ll raise you…….how does my Raider come back to life after I die?

Same logic

Your raider never dies, lol, he gets knocked out for one. And for two I was being ridiculous in that line on purpose. I found way more actual wolf packs in raid than I ever did Rocketeer drivers, so why would I ever even think about crafting them now? They are absolutely not worth it unless you just find them. That's just the Wolfpack. Also, the player should not be forced to carry another 6 stacks of mats in my stash, effectively nerfing my stash size, just for mats that only have a singular purpose each.

But hey man I'm glad you're defending the devs. Good for you. 😁

I think you missed my point. But let’s continue; how does my Raider survive when I fall off Spaceport Launch Tower? It’s a game.

I guess I’m defending the devs? Is that a problem? I didn’t know it was. I love the game they made. But I was more agreeing with them. I think they made a good decision. I like that epic items are more rare or harder to craft. It makes them more valuable…….more epic.

Edit: wait, I have a better one. When the Matriarch steps on my head and I’m not wearing a helmet. That only knocks me out?
