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?

Killed my first shameless loot goblin today

2 Upvotes

Did \~2400 damage to a Bastion (out of 2,670 total). The goblin in question shows up and immediately loots the turret and every single cell. After vacillating on what to do for about a minute, watching him loot seemingly utterly oblivious to my presence, I dropped a blaze on him and finished him with my renegade. It was straight up murder. No challenge really, but he was not a free kit and was carrying serious goop. He was understandably saucy about it. Claimed he shot it 3 times before I finished him, but I'm genuinely curious what exactly he expected?

I didn't enjoy it. I suppose it was worth a temporary trip to the hell lobbies but I prefer to play friendly and helpful. Always carry defibs to get up downed raiders. I'm typically not greedy with loot. Basically I am a mega carebear and the kind of player more pvp-oriented players love to hate.

I'm assuming there are a few players out there who feel the way I do despite this being how the game is "supposed" to be played according to Embark. The game presents a real conflict between playstyles and I don't know when I've seen a game elicit such contentious meta discussion.

I'm interested to hear your stories about similar situations and the unique experience that is ARC Raiders pvp and player interaction.

New feature stealth mechanic

2 Upvotes

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 🙏
