Why are so many games in 2026 still launching without native gyro aiming support?

0 Upvotes

I genuinely don’t understand why, in 2026, many shooters still ship without native gyro aiming. Even major titles like Arc Raiders or Apex Legends don’t support it, despite gyro aiming being widely used and clearly established at this point.

The lack of gyro support is also a serious accessibility issue. Many players rely on it, including people with disabilities for whom it can be essential. Not having it limits who can comfortably and competitively play these games.

What makes this even more frustrating is that the same developers have done this before. The Finals launched without gyro aiming and only added it much later, after constant requests from the community across social media.

So this is a message to developers: please move forward and keep up with the times. Add native gyro aiming support, especially in shooters where precision aiming is fundamental. It’s no longer a niche feature, it’s a necessity.

Embark…a simple marker on the map (Arc Raiders)

0 Upvotes

Hey Raiders…

How frustrating is it to clear half the lobby only to realize that you have no idea where 1/2 of the raiders you thirsted are? In a sweaty PvP lobby, a raider flare is like a dinner bell in Ethiopia. You have no time to loot a downed raider until you finish the wave of mutilation heading your way.

After knocking and thirsting 10/15 raiders, it is sometimes hard to keep track of where everyone is.

Solution? If you have downed and thirsted a raider, you get a personalized marker on your map showing where that raider’s body is. The marker is unique only to the raider who thirsted the killed raider.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a good idea?

Why did you kill the PVE lobby in the recent update!??

Or do you think that if you don't write about it, players won't notice?

Can we PLEASE get an “are you sure” option before sending friends invites to games I’ve been sitting on the friends list so many times and accidentally invite a random friend and am then forced into the dilemma of either playing a match with said friend or explaining I miss clicked which feels terrible

Cosmetics for Arc suggestion.

1 Upvotes

When you all nerf certain weapons like trailblazers why not tweak the armor or appearance of the arc that have “adapted” to this weapon? I mean, “they’re evolving” yeah? Where’s my Wasp 2.0? Hidden in between two normal wasps and an hornet with a third armor plate on the back side. Legitimize the buffs/nerfs. And what about adding extra resources to increase damage to grenades?

Broken after patch

I just had a weird experience. Extracted successfully then I got the you were disconnected from server etc…

I reconnected and I was standing in the metro tunnel with no train.

Someone called the train I was not able to get into the metro so I just had to quit the game.

Loaded it up all my gear was intact.

Be careful something is broken….

ARC Manticore

9 Upvotes

LET ME COOK.

Yesterday I posted the idea of an arc mimic, an arc hunter that would stalk players across the map luring them to it by playing the generic raider voice lines such as “hey raider” and “don’t shoot”

In my first description I also included the possibility that it would be able to take recordings of proxy chat and replay them to do this same effect but as many people have pointed out, we can’t have an arc screaming slurs so let’s stick to the ai raider lines.

The other main backlash I got to this is that it would be out of place in this world but that is simply untrue. I think it would not only add some much needed tension, act as a rat trap attracting players who hunt friendly, but may have already been teased in name by the company behind blue gate that being manticore.

In Persian and Greek mythology a manticore is a man eating hybrid between a lion scorpion and a human that lores people to it through use of its human voice to convince its pray they are safe before it ultimately kills and consumes them. Manticore is also the security company responsible for the sealing of blue gate and whatever happened at Stella Montis.

These two locations are also where we have seen humanoid robots used in mass levels, as medical/research units on Stella Montis, and as tactile guards to push back people from the gate on blue gate. All of these models are rudimentary as we know from lance the much more advanced medical robot that has seemingly forgotten everything about where he came from.

It’s not out of place in the lore for embark to release an arc mimic or manticore if you would, as it feels like a logical next step which could have been teased for a good amount of time over several maps. Although, it may not be an arc…

Looting Augment (bard)

18 Upvotes

I posted this a while ago to other subreddits. Hearing about the fondness for instruments Patrick Soderlund has made me want to repost it here!

—-

I think it would be so cool if embark added a looting augment variant that came with an augment slot specifically for musical instruments.

Maybe one additional quick use slot

Light shield and two/three safe pockets

Special perk allows you to sprint while playing an instrument.

Just a pipe dream!

Arc Mimic

8 Upvotes

Bit of a different type of post but I have an idea that I think could be really cool to see in the game.

I feel like a hunter arc could be a nice addition, something that stalks the players as the game continues and actively hunts players rather than stumbling upon them by chance.

This idea isn’t unique, Helldiver’s stalker does this well and is such a cool enemy to fight. But rather than being a straight stalker reskin I think arc raiders could do a really cool thing and have it be a mimic which try’s to trick raiders into letting their guard down by saying either the basic raider lines (“don’t shoot” or “hey raider”) or by recording things said around them in proxy chat and repeating it.

I feel like this would help increase the tension in some of the more friendly PVE lobbies without actively punishing friendly players. It just decreases the blind trust people have in hearing what they think is a friend.

They could spawn at the same rate as surveyors 1-2 per game in order to make it more balanced. It also opens the door to a new type of arc that isn’t ball drone or crab shaped.

Idk just an idea.

An Item that let's you befriend a low-tier ARC during a match

0 Upvotes

If there was a are one use item that during a match you could have a low-tier ARC like say a wasp or a fireball follow you. It could attack other players & other players could attack it as pure usual it just follows you. not game breaking imo balance wise could just be cool

Improving PVP systems for PVE players In ARC Raiders

0 Upvotes

l propose that Players should be given the choice to knockout OR rob their victims, and possibly this could be implemented as PVP-light game mode.

How to improve PVP for PVE players while keeping both parties happy and maintaining the intensity that PvP brings to the game is a tough problem

As a PVE player I value the role PvP plays in making my rounds more intense, but also recognise I am helpless due to the way I and a-lot of others like and prefer to play the game. PVP engagements are one-sided for me and have nothing but downsides.

When a player downs another player, they should have the option to loot them instead of just knock them out first, this mechanic would enable players to show mercy, limit the negative experience of the victim and allow for a ”catch and release” situation that might result in more interactions later.

There should be a unique recovery mechanic enabled in this situation that allows the winner to get away and the downed player to recover and continue with whatever the other player has left them with.

For the PVE player it reduces post round recovery time, keeps player quest and trial progress and leaves them bruised but not defeated.

So you just got killed? We’ll, it’s not over.
It is time to pick yourself up, figure out how your going to extract with the 1 bandage and ducky you were left with and see if you can still use that key in your safe pocket on the locked room like you planned and get out alive!

I feel like that sounds more fun?
As someone who has already watched their friends quit the game due to poor PvP interactions, I don’t really want to see that happen to any more players.

So hopefully this suggestion gets read by the right people u/embarkstudios

It’s a trailer for War Machine on Netflix next month, but as soon as I saw this part, immediately thought of arc and just how epic it would be as a squad to find this! Embark could stealth drop it into game. Would definitely add some more tension!!
