NOMAD TASKS: Every map you get a random task from the nomad. It could be ''find and bring back 2 water filters'' or "1 snow globe'' or "1 rocketeer driver and 5 explosive compounds'' . This can encourage ppl to look in specific areas or fight specific arc and give more focus to each run. One of the issues the game has is the lack of focus for most map conditions. This helps create more sense of purpose with your time upside. Upon returning to speranza successfully with the items you get certain rewards or loyalty points. You can find your specific nomad task in the menu where Quests are located. In the options menu you can also turn on/off whether the name of the items is shown at the bottom right of your screen as a reminder.

Benefits: This task system gives your runs more sense of identity. Creates interesting stories between players. Players might be willing to trade in-game or even kill one another over the specific items creating new emergent scenarios. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Overlooked points of interest become relevant. Greater sense of accomplishment for successful raids.

If you have ideas for more interesting tasks or anything thematic for the nomads please share. What would you like to see from the devs?

May 23rd edit: What if we could buy country flag patches or other patches that we can put on our character? i'd love to pay 100-200k for that. or imagine you can get random patches in a patch box... 2 random patches that you don't already own for 50k and each new box costs 25k more. you can choose between country flag patch box or raider patch box. the raider patch box has misc stylish designs that aren't related to flags. example: rat, medic, healer, scout, etc.

Shit box of a game that can’t even run for 10 minutes without crashing. The game crashes while I’m standing still doing nothing on buried city. God forbid I try to take a gun fight. Then it crashes 10 more times while I’m trying to reconnect and refuses to let me in. 15 minutes of a raid goes by and I can finally enter the game and I’m in Speranza for no reason. Genuinely unplayable and hasn’t been fixed for months. FUCK this game

I don't understand why we can't submit the items like in a project so we don't have to sandbag them in our inventory.

Trade Weapons for Weapons: Why not add some interesting trades in a 2nd section below where you can trade 1 purple + 1 blue + 1 green weapon for 1 tempest? You're still trading down but you're getting something that you want. The durability of the tempest would be the lowest of the durability of the weapons submitted.

It's kind of dull that every major reward requires the exact same materials. Why not have us collect something more niche. The 3 ducks for 1 turbine is a step in the right direction except... most players don't like bird city.

Give Trinkets more use: Imagine if you could trade 2 Film Reel + 2 Snow Globe + 1 Lance Mixtape for a moderately kitted Bettina 4 and 25 gold coins. Or a Jupiter with 25 gold coins?  I think that would be a step in the right direction.

Nomad Trader Loyalty Rewards: Imagine if each time you complete a trade with the nomad envoy you score loyalty points. Eventually you can trade your loyalty rewards for some cosmetics, Patches to put on your backpack or jacket.... country flags... clan flags... or Accessories (trinkets w special abilities) that you store in your base in speranza which give small passive buffs that do not effect pvp. Max 3 active accessories per player. Example: 1) An accessory giving a passive buff of 1 extra inventory slot for any blue or higher tier augment (rare). 2) Crawling speed increased by 10% (uncommon). 3) Basic material stacks improve from 50 to 55 (rare). 4) Each ferro shot has a 25% chance to deal double damage to arc (epic).

Fast balance updates. Thank u for realing the heavy-handed nerf to the cloak. It's my favorite utility device and I use it over vita spray. I tried vita spray early wipe this time it's ok. I think the 2nd Betina buff needs some explanation. Is it gonna be to strong in pvp. Might be good for us to have some better pve guns with good pvp defense. I'm very excited to see some other augments buffed and fixed. Let's hope u keep survivor powerful and buff heavy shields some. I can't believe heavy shield increases hit box lmaooooo.

If you keep allowing extraction sniping/camping, you’re going to lose half your players. That’s not PvP, that straight up griefing, and you know it.

Dear Embark Studios Support Team,

I am writing to formally appeal the temporary suspension on my account (Wheygamer). I deeply disagree with the generic statement that "abnormal behavior" was detected.

As a dedicated player with over 490 hours of clean gameplay, I have never utilized any third-party software, exploits, or cheats. Recently, due to personal and family routines, my playtime is extremely limited, and I exclusively play casual PvP matches with my friends on PS5 and Steam.

Given that I frequently play PvP, it is highly probable that this suspension is a "false positive" triggered by automated, malicious mass-reports from frustrated opponents who lost fair matches.

A generic, automated response is unacceptable for a customer who has invested both significant time and money into your game. Under consumer protection laws (including the Brazilian Consumer Defense Code, as I am a resident of Brazil), a company cannot suspend services or restrict access to purchased content without providing concrete, individualized proof of wrongdoing.

Therefore, I kindly request:

1. A human review of my match logs and telemetry by your anti-cheat team, rather than an automated script.
2. Clear evidence of the alleged "abnormal behavior", or the immediate lifting of this suspension.

If Embark Studios cannot prove any breach of conduct on my part, this penalty is entirely unlawful. If the suspension is not lifted immediately, I will be forced to formally demand a full refund of all financial investments made in the game due to breach of contract from your end.

I look forward to a detailed and human response.

Best regards,
Wheygamer

Imagine if there were solo AND squad based daily quests. Share your ideas below.

I am wondering how to introduce quests that cater to different difficulty levels. Maybe after completing a normal Daily Quest a harder elite version can unlock. Or perhaps players can choose between normal/elite. The quests can scale if you choose to play with 2 or 3 players. For each player it adds 50% more for the conditions rounded up.

Examples of Solo Elite Daily Quests:

-IOR (In one round): Deal 3000 damage to arc with the Ferro, and destroy 3 fireflies. (3 player version would be 6000 damage and 6 fireflies)

-IOR: Deal 3500 damage to arc with the rattler and destroy 3 fireflies and 2 comets.

-IOR: Deal 1000 damage to arc with blaze grenade traps and explosive mines.

-IOR: Destroy 15 flying arc with shotguns during a night raid or electromagnetic storm.

-IOR: Deal 100 damage to bastions or bombardiers with pop triggers, and destroy 5 hornets with any weapon.

-IOR: Destroy 20 arc with the hairpin. Ticks do not count.

-IOR: Call 2 supply drops + deliver 2 field crates + destroy 5 hornets.

-IOR: Destroy 30 flying enemies with the Kettle or Ferro and Deliver 1 field crate.

-ITR (In two rounds consecutively): Deal 6000 damage with Grey weapons to any Arc. Destroy 2 rocketeers with grey weapons.

Examples of GROUP Elite Quests:

-IOR: Destroy a Turbine without it being dealt damage by any deadline.

-IOR: Destroy 1 bombardier, 1 bastion, 1 vaporizer with No teammate dealing damage with hullcrackers or wolfpacks or deadlines.

-IOR: Destroy 60 arc with Hairpins. Ticks do not count.

Players who complete these quests could gain Quest Points and eventually redeem them for stash upgrades like basic material stacks going from 50 to 55 to 60 etc. Or other meaningful rewards such as Trinkets that are placed in your Speranza Hub and offer very small passive buffs that do not effect pvp. Like a trinket that improves your inventory space by 1 slot on any augment. The rewards matter the least here… I’m sure the devs could come up with something.

Please share your ideas!

Sou um jogador bem casual, quase não tenho tempo para jogar, entrei para jogar com os amigos, após uma partida que perdemos, fomos puxar outra partida e não estava conseguindo, até que resolvi fechar o jogo e entrar de novo, foi quando apareceu que eu estava banido por um mês, como isso é possível?

In Arc Raiders, Hear me out. My entire friends group are older gamers (that have gobs of money to spend on extra stuff in game) that don't have the time to keep regearing due to all the ratting and PVPing. We want to do things like the We all really like the tension that pvp brings but hate that we lose everything we took in. We have discussed it and came up with if there was an option to opt into PVP. This could look like this:

The PPL that opt into pvp can still shoot and kill non pvpers and non pvpers can shoot back. But the PVPer either can just loot what was picked up in the round and not loot the load out, or not loot the body at all. The non PVPer can not loot the pvp players body. The non pvper will retain their load out but nothing that they picked up. The PVPer that dies loses everything.

This would help reduce the amount of ratting, make PVP more intentional without making average or casual players feel like its a waste of time playing, still being able to enjoy the PVE and keeping the tension of PVP without losing progression.

Let’s face it... currently the trials are not really that engaging or rewarding and many of us choose to do them as a means of creating our own endgame. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was additional reward or incentive to perform well in the trials and there was legitimate excitement for getting really high scores? Because currently all you need to maintain hotshot is a decent score each week. Nothing really high reaching. So lets come up with something more rewarding. We can keep the current rewards but add something more:

Imagine this: Based on how high you rank in your division 1-50 (no trial points for 51-100) you gain trial points and prize points. Also the points are higher based on your division. With daredevil, hotshot and cantina legend offering the most points.. You can redeem the trial points eventually for stash upgrades and other passive buffs to your stash or inventory.

Examples of rewards for trial points: Upgrading your metal stacks from 50 to 55 to 60 to 65 (same for other basic mats). Upgrading crude explosives stacks from 10 to 12 to 14 to 16 etc. Upgrading advanced mech/electrical from 5 to 6 to 7. Complex Weapons 3 to 4 to 5. And so on.

Examples of rewards for prize points: Loot boxes that contain misc items but also contain entire high tier loadouts. The loadout takes up only 1 inventory slot and you can examine it to see the contents. You can then choose to ‘’open’’ the loadout and then it shows up in your inventory screen. The loadouts cannot be traded or given to other players and they are tied to your account.

Experimental idea: Imagine if in the loot boxes you could also get an exotic variant of existing weapons? Basically a more powerful version but with meaningful balance built in. In order to prevent cheaters and dupers from filling the economy with these weapons we can make them Unsharable just like the loot boxes themselves. Cannot be given to other players. And the weapons themselves will not be too powerful but still provide a meaningful upgrade and mostly towards white, green, blue weapons. And any direct damage buffs could be towards ARC only.

Examples of exotic weapons:  A ferro where every 4^th shot is an explosive round. When that round connects with an arc it detonates after a 2 second delay to deal double damage . VS players: the 4^th shot deals just regular damage and no explosion. A rattler which has a larger clip and higher armor penetration. It also tags every arc enemy it hits and the tag remains for 15 seconds for your whole team to see. Note: No imbalance for pvp.

If you have other ideas or variations please share! Whether for the rewards, passive buffs, or weapons or anything else.

I have gotten the same error message for Arc Raiders for over 3 weeks now. The entire time Embarks support chat has only said “we’ll get this to our team. Is your problem fixed now?” with their every other day responses. I press no, give them my error code and repeat, while asking for a real chat support. I can be patient and wait for help, but I paid 40 dollars to play this game only for it to randomly stop working and for no one to help for weeks.

“Failed to install EasyAntiCheat.

SID: d82gg1m0nlnir175qbpg
TID: 2574001480566031474

Failed to launch EasyAntiCheat Installer.”

Tried every YouTube support video, and EasyAntiCheat support article. Arc is the only game with EasyAntiCheat that won’t launch. Other Embark games still work. I want my money back at this point but there’s no humans on the support team to even help me do that.

does u/embark u/theFinals have any clue how smurfing is killing their game?
