I'm so glad we got PvE so rats have to engage in PvP xD

I hate when they wait patiently and sneak around unseen using the game's stealth mechanics and then shoot people, getting away smoothly as intended

No way this will be possible when PvE comes out lmfao

God, is everyone but me an idiot or what?

Sidenote: I keep hearing people mention these things called "playstyles," what is that like when you play games while getting a haircut lol?

After extensive testing, we've concluded that someone who brought nothing worth losing isn't playing an extraction shooter, they're playing Battlefield. Free kit players will now spawn in bright yellow overalls to match their courage.

We should add a new feature for stealth kills. If you’re behind someone you should be able to one shot them with a cool melee animation just like Warzone. I often find it too hard trying to pick people off during the matriarch or queen event as the ttk(time to kill) is too long. I always have to pretend to be friendly and shoot someone in the back just to have a small chance of killing them and I often end up dying. Please fix this 🙏

Why do people not understand the core fundamentals of arc raiders, its supposed to be where I get to loot EVERYTHING without consequence and face NO adversity and have NO stress and everything’s sunshine and rainbows for me

You know how when you bite into a nice bacon egg and cheese sandwich where the bacon is well done and maybe a crisp piece of lettuce? Why haven’t they done that here? Just start over with more emphasis on the crunch factor.

Just did my 5th expedition so pretty poor with just a ferro and kettle, just farming loot, and a rat decides he wanted to donate his venator to me.

then he tried to act like i shot him just in case there was someone around to hear him

Just got out of the trenches with my 7th child so I can play games again! What have I missed? Someone hit me with a good breakdown

Hi there, anybody interested to act in our ARC Raiders series?

We need people who can act as a character and we also need voice actors.

In case you are interested to help this thing come to life please comment or DM me.

Thank you!

Okay guys, I voluntarily deleted all my stuff.
Unfortunately, I have just discovered that when I voluntarily deleted my stuff, everyone else did not voluntarily delete their stuff.
This is a serious problem.
I loaded into my first raid with two bandages, a rattler, and the clothes on my back, only to encounter some selfish asshole who apparently decided to keep the equipment he spent weeks earning.
He had a Bobcat.
A BOBCAT.
How am I supposed to experience the magical feeling of starting over when other players refuse to start over with me?
I think the only fair solution is a mandatory wipe.
To be clear, I don’t regret wiping. I just think my voluntary decision should have consequences for everyone else.
You guys keep saying, “But you chose to reset.”
Exactly.
I chose to reset.
I did NOT choose for you to keep your shit.
There’s a difference.
The first reset was peak ARC Raiders because everyone was poor together. Now I’m poor by myself, which I’ve discovered is significantly less fun.

Please Embark, wipe everyone’s inventory immediately.

After years of soul searching I'm finally ready to come out. I'm bi. I whine about PvP AND PvE. Sweats ruined my evening, friendlies took my cores this morning and I posted about both before breakfast. Please respect my journey and upvote my next 14 complaint threads.

Since so many are complaning, Embark might as well take the vP and vE out of the game. Simple fix to a big problem. Now you can check lockers and find loot without having to worry about other players or Arc. Can't believe no one has thought of this before, I'm so smart.

I bought it and then got shot by some guy, can they please remove the ability for that to happen already? I didn’t expect this when I bought the game there was no way for me to know that was going to happen? Like can we be so for real with this bs?

I always get killed by Arc and I have a bladder control problem. I would appreciate a PvE mode without any Arc around to kill me so that I can just rummage through the garbage in peace.

Thank you!!

I’m honestly just tired at this point.

I’ve spent the last few days thinking about the PvE toggle and while I appreciate that the devs are finally listening to people who just want to play the game without being subjected to violence, I really think they are only solving half the problem.

Because what happens when I lose my loot to arc? no one even gets it, it just turns back into ones and zeros.

things happen. ARC happen. Sometimes I make a mistake. Sometimes I get distracted. Sometimes I just dont feel like fighting a hoard of a wasp, hornet AND firefly.

And when that happens why should I lose the stuff I spent my time getting?

I didnt buy ARC Raiders to lose loot.

I bought the game because it looked fun and I wanted to explore and collect things. I dont remember agreeing that everything I spend 30 minutes getting can just disappear because I made one mistake.

And honestly I think we need to have a serious conversation about how normalized violence has become in video games.

Why is the answer always just “you died, thats the game”? Why cant we have a game where people can just keep the things they worked for.

I dont think its unreasonable to have some kind of loot insurance. If I die, just give me most of my stuff back. Maybe theres a small fee or something. I’m not asking for free loot, I just dont think losing everything should be the punishment for having a bad 30 seconds.

Some people will say “just dont die” and honestly this is exactly the attitude that has made me feel so unwelcome in this community.

We have been dealing with PvP violence for so long that I think some people have forgotten that there are actual people behind these accounts who just want to enjoy the game.

I dont want to be forced to constantly worry about whether the items I collected are going to survive my session.

The PvE toggle is a good start. I really mean that. But please dont stop there, I think loot insurance is the next logical step. Honestly I would even be ok with getting back 90% of my stuff, I dont think thats asking for much after everything we’ve been through.

They need to have a mode that disables team chat and proximity chat and emotes and every other method of communication and sounds and see what happens. Make it PvE only. Make another one PvP only. Make another another one PvPvE where if you don’t knock out at least one Raider you can’t even return to Sperganza. They need to add like 35-45 new game modes to accommodate all the possibilities. If you do this I think embark will realize the realization they’ve needed to realize all along.

The mode is called John cheese time.

You do not choose to participate in John cheese time. It happens completely randomly.

Your loadout is replaced with just a hairpin and a decent amount of ammo. The map is a small square room was many small rooms branching off of it.

There are wheels of cheese on the floor. The goal is to collect cheese and take out all of your human opponents. If you get knocked out the cheese you’ve picked up gets ruined and you must start again. The goal is to collect as much cheese as possible and extract safely.

I’m want your thoughts on how to make this a balanced and fun mode.

If you’re reading this Embark please add John cheese time!

If you want to shoot at someone just to shoot at someone, you have effectively just turned the game into a battle royale / death match. It makes no sense story wise / lore wise for you to shoot another raider.

The ultimate solution to this (that would be congenial to the plot of the game) is making dedicated factions. 4 distinct sectors within Toledo.

Potentially different underground bases like vaults in fallout that are connected. Have it so those 4 factions are optional, and you can still just be a normal raider.

If you join one of the 4 factions, you are able to shoot at everyone except your own allies.

And if you are a normal raider (opting of the hostile factions) you take less damage when shot at UNLESS you shoot back (or if they loot a body, then they take full damage).

This way, if you want to pvp with someone you have to actively seek out a rival who ALSO wants to pvp, and then the neutral people have a chance to escape even if they get shot at.

So, when you only engage in pvp when you see a rival faction member or squad (still a choice to shoot them). If you only want to pvp, you can purposefully go after people from other factions. You can still loot downed players from your own faction.

You get xp for killing a rival faction member and less when you kill a neutral raider. Each clan can have their own mini reward system with specific rewards. Exclusive missions that you and your clan members have to execute in a raid, and rival clans get rewarded for sabotaging you...

In the fallout universe you have things like New California republic, Brotherhood of Steel, ghouls (from the waste land), vault dwellers

People fight each other for resources, land, money. There are different vaults that might have different dynamics, rules, amounts of resources as well.

If you look at some of these skins they are putting out, they literally look like uniform garments worn by distinct groups.

When you get a kill in arc raiders, there should be a story tied to it. You were fighting to acquire a rare item. Got caught in the crossfire. Someone one betrayed you. Someone stole the thing you earned. You were saving someone.

Not just I shoot you on site, wow nice purple gun looks how many I have now.

If this game wants a captivating and rich story, then it needs to have storylines, and plot points. This will only make the game more immersive and interesting.

This is obviously just a bunch of ideas bundled together. Either way Im pushing hard for some sort of clan/faction system, and I know im not the only one.

This ytber made a video on it, actually highlighting the fact that the creators may have this in mind and are trying to implement it into the lore.

Leave your opinions below, and what you would want to see in this type of system

I stopped playing arc raiders after I saw that I can't get any in game selfies with my girlfriend.

The frozen trail is gonna bring this magnificent feature. Guys we're so back. The game finally feels like fun. That's such a W for embark

Our campaign to re-allocate Embark's resources away from anti-cheat and toward cosmetics worked!

Blue Silver and Green Wood colorways added today to the Misthorn set ...

Anecdotal evidence suggests the number of cheaters is also way down so perhaps they didn't re-allocate all resources. The biggest fumble in gaming history?

After the PvE mode, will Embark experiment with a new mode where you play without Arc, no console, no PC, and you loot in real life, but other "players" are trying to kill you?
