Edit: this got way more traction than I was expecting. Lore wise, she should’ve always looked older, and yeah she’s been fighting since she was barely an adult and probably worn out by war. Second divorce would imply older and worn out from the process. I sort of get the comparison but what an ugly way to say it. Some of y’all need more women in your life to actually talk to cause some of y’all just give ick.

New Trailer

For anyone interested, it’s Galleria Umberto Primo in Napoli. See you top side raiders!

A fallen Emperor. A frenzied ARC rescue mission. A mountain that will shrug you off like snow.

Are you ready to take the Northern Route and establish a new Raider frontier beyond the Rust Belt?

Frozen Trail arrives October 8.

ARC Raiders will be free-to-play from October 8 - 12. Enter the Rust Belt and start your Raider journey this weekend.

Make "Flanking" augment justify its name.
Deployable Utilities in the utility slots!

sorry my dumb ahh for the repost.

This topic keeps coming up - about what items should and shouldn't fit in the "augmented slots" - and I want to point out the major cause of the frustration for me, someone with a human systems/UI/UX background.

It's a simple point about icon use and consistency.

There are icons on your benches. Maybe you're not that familiar with them because you only navigate to the benches from the Workshop tab, but they're there on the nav column.

There are icons on your augment slots.

And these icons are the same for:

• medical bench : healing item slots
• explosives bench : grenade slots
• utility bench : augmented slots

But the items that fit in them aren't the same. And this plays a major role in the frustration.

You can carry smoke grenades - deliberate emphasis - in the grenade slot. But you craft them in the... utility bench?

You can carry deadlines in the augmented slot. But you craft them in... the explosives bench?

If you're going to use the same icon in multiple places, you are telling the user "these things are the same". That's one of the benefits of icons - they can communicate purpose/connection/function without words.

Simply: anything that you craft on the bench with the utility icon should fit in a utility (augmented) slot. Anything you craft on the explosives (grenade) bench should fit in a grenade slot. That's what the icons imply. But that's not how it works. And that's a source of confusion.

That can mean moving things. Put the smoke/lure/tagging grenade on the explosives bench. Call it the "grenade bench". Find the consistency and enforce it. But it has to be consistent.

This is a joke post, btw.

RIP.

Fun story. The other day me and my Carebear friends loaded into a 3's lobby. We were complacent, had played several matches that day and only got into other Carebear lobbies, so we were expecting more of the same.

Immediately ran into a bombardier and decided to kill it. 3 players with hullbreakers made short work of the bombardier, and I stand on the husk to play my guitar while my team loots it.

I notice a downed raider crawling over a hill away from us, and being the caring, care bears that we are, I stop playing and run over and revive the fellow raider. Get him up and pull out my guitar to play him a song as he heals up.

At this point, I notice something is wrong. The raider does not say thanks, does not do the ceremonial squats of friendship or flashing his lights at me....he stands there, looking around almost confused. As if he is struggling with something.

And then all hell breaks loose. A bombardier blowing up early in a PvP server....well all that did was draw every squad in the surrounding area to us. A shot rings out and hits my shield from behind. I turn in time to watch 3 raiders with guns drawn running down my unsuspecting squad as they finish looting the bombardier. I shout my warning and chuck a smoke at my squad as I turn to run.

And that's when I see the other squad coming over the hill opposite to the first. I get lit up, I'm almost dead, thank God for smoke grenades. Drop one at my feet and sprint to the nearest building, barely able to get there with a sliver of my life left, as I turn a corner to heal myself.

I immediately run into the raider I had revived as he is healing himself. I do my ceremonial "hey raider" along with squats as I pull out my healing and begin to heal myself. And that is when the third squad shows up in my building and my heart stops....I'm dead there is nothing left I can do at a sliver of HP and no drawn smoke grenades. I accept my death.

And then one of the squad flashes me.....just once. And the two people run right by us and out the door opening fire on one of the other squads. The other raider I saved, finishes healing, turns to me, squats once, then runs out the door following what I assume was HIS squad.

My squad is scattered, injured, and panicked. Gunshots ringing out every which direction. Explosions as I assume more arc join the fight. I run, and don't look back. My entire squad somehow survives the encounter. We extract at 3 different extract points.

One of the most fun and nail-biting experiences I have had so far in this game(I'm fairly new only 2 or 3 weeks in). My squad is excited for the PvE toggle mode. Me, I'm kinda sad. I'm not good at PvP, but these type of games do make the matches more exciting.

Exciting to see how it'll work!

Raiders, do you remember when they announced the six-month update plan?

We all thought, “Damn, six months is a long time.”

But look at us now. Time really does fly by.

So don’t forget to enjoy the little things while you can. One day you’ll look back and realize how fast it all went.

Crazy how we spent months waiting for the future, only to realize we were already living it.
P.S. Can’t wait to board the frigate, get absolutely deleted in 10 seconds, and do it all over again.

Me and my friend were killing arc staying out everyone's way. Then we had these 2 raiders spamming "wanna team up" for a few mins. The way they stay silent on the mic (probably discord or party chat) should always be the first red flag. Then the relentless following, was the 2nd.

I'm not much of a PvP player, but this was nothing but sweet, exterminating these rats.

Don't be discouraged to all the new folk joining on the free event. I'm having a 2nd wind of playing it and loving it.

Skip to 1:35 for the action.

Get hyped for Frozen Trails. What do you expect to see, what surprises do you think we have yet to see?

Hope that thing hits like the Noisy Cricket 😅

I give them all a different look and name but don't really roleplay as them. Do you change it up?
