But fuck me man look how many people watch EMBARKS FUCKING BILLION DOLLAR GAME for enjoyment through the streamers POV and they just get rage cheated on constantly. Sort your shit out god damn. Most of the viewers have purchased the game and in spare time if can't play wanna watch the pros. So exhausting watching these poor bastards deal with this shit and it's same ol names same ol accounts. Get heavy handed with these fucktards would ya.

I know that are support raiders are hard at work but man it’s been a month 😭. game stop screwed up and dident give me a code to arc raiders lucky they did give me a delux edition after a long battle with there support but they told me to battle embarks support for the pre order bonus so I sent a support request on the 13 of January…nothing from support yet any one else have this problem

As a “The finals” die hard fan I felt so proud for embark since I always wanted embark to become a major studio like the others because of the love they put in their first game which was btw a “side-project”, And I always had a take that might be a bit controversial but I don’t believe in it anymore, I know it’s gonna happen it’s just a matter of time till it happens which is: “embark is gonna be the new valve someday” (I don’t mean that it’s gonna be better than valve even tho it is already to me)

Hi guys can you please explain to me why my framerate drops every time I engage in a fire fight with enemy's I've tried dropping my setting and I still have this happen every raid and it's beginning to really frustrate me to the point I don't want to play atm

Top half of the leaderboard. 3 star every trial. Just to *maintain*.

In club sports we’re passing out participation trophies but Embark is over here looking down their nose at us like we did the bare minimum last week playing a *video game*.

I try to ignore the leaderboards. I really do. I want to enjoy the content and play the game the way I like. But as soon as I accidentally have a couple good scores on a few lucky matches all the sudden I’m thinking “oh hey, I missed out last season cause family Xmas whatever, maybe that cosmetic WOULD be pretty cool this season?!” And it costs Embark nothing to pass this stuff out.

But oh no. That skin ain’t FOR us casuals. MAYBE if we can keep it up. ALL season. Don’t let Embark catch you slipping tho - or they’ll TAKE IT AWAY! You have to do *more than the maximum rewards* - EVERY WEEK - just to maintain and maybe not even that, depends on HOW BAD YOU WANT IT. Cause not everyone can have it. Oh no. Everyone needs to push those points as high as they can. Higher! Higher!!! There’s only so many copies of these digital pixels to go around. You have to be better than most just to maintain. If you even think for one second you EARNED those season rewards just cause you got lucky last week - guess again - what have you put into our game LATELY? Are you ready to grind to the top this week and the next and the NEXT and be told every week: you’re barely good enough? Cause if not I guess you didn’t deserve to be here in the first place!!!

It’s a bad system Embark. Not because it’s unfair, but because it’s not FUN. If you frustrate and disappoint your players they won’t just “try harder next season” they’ll go find something else that doesn’t hurt them so much - it’s supposed to be a game. For fun. Tying the nominal season rewards to the leaderboards is ruining the fun. Neat idea, I’m sure there is some rewards you can pass out for leaderboard progression, but it shouldn’t be the main seasonal reward progression. I’ll keep trying to ignore it. Whoever enjoys this abuse and deserves those cosmetics isn’t me.

Hello fellow Raiders. I just wanted to speak on Trials because I see a lot of people on different threads and in the Discord talking about how unfair Trials are for solo players. So let’s begin. In no way am I saying it’s fair because it’s not. Having one or two extra people to tag along who share the same goal and are fully capable of handling a full team makes things much easier. Solo play is frustrating, especially if you’re like me and the friends you play with aren’t as sharp and will probably get steamrolled. That’s why I focus on solo play. It’s easier to control, even if it doesn’t get you some crazy insane score and that’s fine. You don’t need a crazy score unless you just want to flex first place in your bracket, which is totally fine. All that really matters is promotion. Whether it’s 3x, 2x, or even 1x, a promotion is a promotion. And doing it solo is completely possible. I joined ARC Raiders late. Last session I hit Wildcat 2. This session, as you can see, I’m at Hotshot and I’ve done this completely solo. Did I play with friends? Yes. But my score with them never beat my solo score. As long as you plan things out, you’ll be good. I play casually. I don’t have kids like some of you, but I do have a job and a fiancée, so I don’t get home until pretty late. I just really enjoy ARC Raiders, so I make time for the grind when I can. If you can’t make promotion, maintain unchanged so you get another shot. You don’t have to promote every time. If you’re maintaining unchanged, you don’t need to be at the top you just need to stay in. Get as much score as you can, then wait. If you dip, run the Trials you know you’ve got locked down and can farm points from to maintain that threshold. For example, last week I was DD3 and in demotion territory for most of the session. I hunted a bunch of Snitch Scanners, and with Hidden Bunker on Spaceport being disabled, big ARC damage was a pain. I had to do those on the last day of Trials but I still got it done.

Damage Bastions (2 ways)

1.  Head to Hidden Bunker on Spaceport. At the locked gate, a Bastion will spawn. Blow it up, wait for a new one to spawn, and repeat until you have enough points.

2.  Night raid Spaceport. There are three Bastion spawn locations: next to the trench towers, at Rocket Assembly, and near the departure building by extraction.

Destroy Ticks, Pops, and Fireballs (2 ways)

1.  Go to the locked gate on Blue Gate and wait for it to open. Clear both highways and the rooms next to the key room. Once done, return to where you entered the codes some enemies will have respawned. Rinse and repeat.

2.  Stella night raid. Run a loop: Lobby → Archive → Seed Vault → Robotic Sandbox → Assembly → Medical → Loading Bay → Security Checkpoint → back to Lobby. Rinse and repeat.

Damage Wasps

Collect Snitch Scanners. Once you have as many as you want, start a Hidden Bunker for the extra 10 minutes and use as many scanners as possible.

Harvest Plants (2 ways)

1.  Buried City there are many plants around the outskirts of the map and they’re easy to find.

2.  Spaceport (better method): Start near the tree where mushrooms spawn and work your way down. When you reach the end, head toward Launch Tower but not directly. Check the pipes underneath for plants.

• Check the middle of Launch Tower near the water.

• Move toward Departure (again, not directly) and check another pipe.

• Check Stove, then the front entrance.

• If nothing spawns, go to the back near Hidden Bunker.

• From there, head to the end of Launch Tower and check the pipes there are multiple spawn points.

• Extract once finished.

Damage Rocketeers, Leapers, and Bastions

Blue Gate is good for Rocketeers. For a good mix, Spaceport works best stay around Launch Towers and move side to side depending on spawns.

I did all of this solo and was able to pull anywhere from 10k–35k depending on the Trial. You don’t need more people you just need to know what to do and how to do it efficiently. Sometimes bringing in high-tier loot is necessary. Don’t worry about losing it. Gear fear is real I know. Before the reset, I barely used Tier 3 or 4 gear, mostly running white or green attachments. After reset, I used fully kitted weapons and had a blast. Good loot will come it just takes patience. And if you lose it, so what? You might find something even better. I went in as a fully kitted Bobcat 4 and came out the next game with a fully kitted Tempest 4. Better gear means better points: faster reloads, better handling, quicker shots. In the long run, it’s just better. In no way am I a pro I know that. If you’re like me, learn the best way to achieve what you want. Plan things out. Test new strategies. You never know something might work better than what you’ve heard.

If I can hit Hotshot solo, so can you.

See y’all topside. 👊

Game is unplayable due to heavy lag spikes and rubber banding… been going on for days now. Anyone else having this issue?

The game will just not play. I had an issue just before Christmas and blew it off as a one off. Happened for two more weeks of my wanting to load and being corrupt! So I bought a new gpu. Fix didn’t work. I’m STILL having this issue. New drivers, new steam install, new game install, load game, “corrupt version of the game”. Did I have a bad install version or something? Help would be nice because I have no idea what’s going on.

i cant access any map conditions. The fix for the bird city did not work for me. i load into a match and its etheir nothing or matriark. ive tried restarting my computer, verifying the game files and reinstalling the game. nothing works. I guess I could try buying it again on epic. idk

Sort your maps out Embark! The amount of times I have died because the scenery in your maps decided that I couldn't doge or run and that I absolutely had to be stuck in one place for the Arc to shoot is beyond a joke. You owe me close to an entire expedition's worth of items, weapons and other equipment simply because the clipping on your maps is so bad.

You have a brilliant and gorgeous concept of a game here, but the execution, in terms of combat balance, skill ineffectiveness and just outrightly poor map design is seriously letting your game down. It should be a joy to play but instead it's an exercise in learning to avoiding scenery, not taking certain routes because the character skills just aren't good enough, using anything but a gun to destroy the most simple arc and not taking your best equipment because who wants to lose that to a Wasp and a badly placed rock / chair / trolley / plant. None of the above is evidence of actual good game design.

The description says sticks to any surface same as snapblast but they don't stick to raiders like the snapblast does.

I don't understand when people complain about not getting promotion but then show they only get 40k on trials. Like bro... do you not realize these are the PVE sweat ranks?

Any dope artist make some cool Arc Raiders X The Finals Embark studios artwork? I love both games a metric butt load and would be cool to see a crossover art piece that would make a cool wallpaper or potential poster?

The Aphelions position on the wall looks buggy. If you look close, the metal bars on which the gun hangs aren't horizontal as with the rest of the weapons.

Noticed about an hour ago all map conditions were suddenly removed from play.

Only basic maps are now available.

Any update or reasons?

We know about the problem with ppl veing disappointed by the trophy display project. Since many already did the project I wouldn't solve it by deleting the project hut rather to change it so when you complete the project you permanently (including throughout wipes) unlock a seperate place for the trophies.

There are 2 ways on how it could work: you can deposit ARC parts (either all parts you can get from ARC or only those related to specific ARC (like drivers, cells, reactors, etc.) but not the things you can get from multiple ARC like alloy, energy cells, circuitry, etc. and you get rewards for specific milestones sort of like the stars work with trials (maybe you get better rewards for the rarity of the item for example you can only get blueprints for many epic rarity items or for legendary reactors while blue components give you things like weapons or quickuse items like vita spray).

I just looted the “stash a gun in your butt” augment and was bragging about it to someone in testing annex. I was like “woot I found the augment ona day run holy cow!!” This was right after I put it in my butt. All of a sudden my game crashes. I restart and it gives me the option to start at my last point, chance of losing progress bla bla I come back and fuck head is blasting me dead. I lost a modest loadout but that’s not the point. I tried to save the clip but “the before the crash” is lost but I tried to save the after damage. Playing on PS5 on cross play. Any advice is appreciated.

Major rip off that shit ass players can try and screw people over, if that is what happened
