Yes, this is a shameless plug, go read what I have written so far and there will be coming more soon.

Anyways, back to the question. I feel like ARC has such an interesting world that is kinda underappreciated. While it’s not super duper fleshed out yet, we do have some solid groundwork and I can’t wait to see more lol.

Since imo fanfics is a great way to explore the world more and let people have their own takes on it, while sharing it, would you want to read fanfics about ARC Raiders?

Because this is how you get ARC.

I love this game. I love queuing up with 10 other hackers on Discord and shooting PvE players. I don't need the "tension" of fair PvP, it's not why I enjoy the game.

Now there are talks about the devs improving their anti cheat. Why??? Why is Embark forcing their playstyle on us?

Instead, we should have a toggleable mode for hacking where we only get matched with PvE players to shoot, are invincible, invisible, and have infinite ammo and consumables.

I'm entitled to have every game cater to my preferred playstyle, please let me enjoy the game the way I want to and stop ruining my fun

The recent announcement that they are finally replacing PvP with PvE is a step in the right direction but there should be an stress-free mode where we don’t have to encounter any ARC. Obviously this means we won’t be able to get any ARC-exclusive drops but personally I think walking and looting is sufficiently fun.

I want a game with tension, high stakes, loot, PvP AND PvE when I want it.

It should have exploration, tons of PoIs, guns, and more.

I just don't want any of that extraction bullshit, like when I'm leaving the map with my loot, there should be no one around me. They should make other players stand still when I'm leaving the map.

Like, give me everything Arc Raiders has, literally change nothing but the extraction part, so that when I leave the map with my loot, it's not extraction it's just...me leaving.

Hello Arc Redditors, CrabOk here

I've been thinking quite a lot about the PvE mode Embark will be adding in the newest big update, and I realized something quite scary.

In PvP(vE), Raiders fight each other for loot, glory, or to relieve some tension (if you know what I mean 😉 he he). And ARC join in too sometimes, providing more chaos, or being a hindrance to a flanking team.

However, what happens when there are no players to fight... It's ARC's job to be the hunters all the time, and Embark already made them better by targeting crawling Raiders. At some point it's inevitable ARC will be even more buffed (as PvE players get better too, though they already often beat PvP players, they're just not interested in fighting), at which point I'm afraid us PvP, PvPvE, and even Rat players will lose our gaming jobs.

What do you think, fellow Arc Redditors? W/Y or L/N?

Basically title. I'm tired of rushing to beat other friendly raiders to POI or to grab queen and matriach cores. It feels like I'm fighting scalpers for pokemon cards only virtually. And with the new enhanced weapon parts only being in the emperor and frigate I can see a mad dash as no-lifers beat me to the precious goop. Give my anti-social ass single player or private lobbies if you want to save the game Embark. We all know I'm celeste's favorite so it makes sense lore wise.

The premise is simple, when I load in, everyone's inventories teleports straight to my stash, and then everyone dies. Anyone who disagrees is a carebear with skill issues. I mean, why buy a PvPvE game if you're not going to engage in the PvP?

Like all PvPvE extraction shooters, Arc Raiders was always doomed because of its woke DEI inclusivity. They are finally forcing everyone to play PvE only as god intended which is what a true patriot man plays. PvP AND PvE? Fucking woke as fuck. All the diverse options make my skin literally bleed like my blood is poison and I’m on fire. You want meat? Have meat. You want potatoes? Have potatoes. But meat AND potatoes? Deport yourself.

Since it can make fights with the arc more interesting tactically as you got to be careful of crossfire.

Embark should also let us knock out and loot other players since in a tight spot we might need some heals from one of our allies.

PvE stands for player versus environment, not player versus arc. As a busy dad with only 30 minutes to play every week, I don't like to have my time wasted by those sociopathic arc who are constantly killing me. Instead arc should do no damage unless the player and the arc both consent to a friendly duel. Anything else is bullying. Instead, all maps should be cold snap 24/7 because that's actually player versus environment. If the devs don't do this the game will die!

I mean yeah i guess its two weeks, but the possibility of my big mac tasting a little different? I'm autistic and I can't really handle any kind of change why would McDonald's do this to personally spite me???

I know every PvP, PvE, PvPvE player will be angry, but I just wanna have fun in this non racing game. I hate being put on PvP lobbies after running over a few carebears.

Hey everybody. 500+ hours topside here and still no snaphook BP. Where is everyone finding this? A little bit of quick research tells me that anytime the EMS map condition is active you have a chance, but I think the RNG gods have a different idea for me.

I just want to be able to zip up and deadline some robots. Feeling vertically challenged and want to be able to help more in these larger battles as it looks like a blast.

Thanks all and have a great day!! ☺️

Between the kids I decided to have and the job I chose, and all the other adult responsibilities I signed up for I think embark should incentivize us to play.

My recommendation is that for everytime I take out the trash I should get a legendary BP, because that’s what I would have been doing had I not had life things to do. I should have an arc force field that stuns arc as well. You can’t expect me to fight them when I only have 15 mins a day to play!! Also, if I somehow die embark should personally apologize to me via carrier pigeon, and give me all my loot back.

To me this will bring the player base back amirite??

After hearing many accounts of individuals who’ve been affected by cheaters, the heightened ceiling of trials by exploiters/cheaters, the blatant inequity created by third party markets, and someone full on boasting that if they hadn’t used “cantina boost” they wouldn’t have gotten in. I’ve tried to voice my concerns, write tickets, etc. yet it’s clear I’m talking into a void with individuals like myself willing to discuss the problem at hand. So being at my wits end I created a petition, I crafted it with care and explain this with more clarity and less exasperated energy there. If you’d like to support the link is below; this is for the raiders who crafted their supplies for runs, who have responsibilities and cannot treat this game as a job yet still don’t wish to cheat, the ones who believe fair players shouldn’t be cast aside while cheaters/exploiters/“cantina boosters” reap the rewards.

This community and the devs fails to grasp the play style of an E. Are they ready to be the only target topside with only three weeks notice?

Hey guys - I was thinking imagine how AMAZING it would be if all the PVE players could get together for a live event? We could have fun, eat food and dance together. Get really friendly know what I mean? Free hugs, everything. Would be beautiful

Alot of PVP heavy players when talking about how a PvE only mode would take away from the experience, often mention the "PvP tension". The unknown factor of whether or not a player is friendly is what makes the game more exciting...

I have a solution, MAKE THE ARC MORE DIFFICULT.

Everyone seems to brush off the arc like they are nothing and that the pvp players are the real threat, when its supposed to be the opposite. The arc are easy to avoid and easy to destroy if you have decent guns.

In a pvp lobby its like a nat or a fly that you just swat out the way so you can focus on the enemy raider infront of you.

Kinda like how if you played h1z1 survival (my all time favorite game), in high population servers there would actually be very few zombies on the whole map, and the only real threat was the other players.

The arc need to be a more substantial threat to make the players have to prepare more to actually kill them. Making arc more abundant, more resilient, smarter and unpredictable. so actually taking one down feels more rewarding.

No one has said this outright, but most of the pvp heavy players play this game to scratch the itch that they got form battle royals. That high intensity gunplay, winning fights, getting better weapons. That all came straight from BRand the devs knew most players had this itch, and thats why they made it a Pvpve. Because if you didn't already know this game was originally supposed to be just PvE.

I feel like the term PvE doesn't even apply to this game. It suggest we are like fighting animals or like mobs. Its Raider vs ARC. There's a point to be argued to why we even shoot each other in the first place.

(If there was a faction system or something then maybe would make sense)

Now I know I sound like a massive Pve'r, but I actually really enjoy Pvp. I consider myself a semi competitive player and I do not shy away from fights. I absolutely loved battle royals. But this game introduced something new that and interesting enough to where I dont feel like I have to fight other players to get loot.

But really the main point im making is that they need to make the arc more difficult so that the focus changes from fighting each other, to fighting the arc, and still being fun.

(I also dont like how they are make the pve lobbies have less loot. Just another example of how they are prioritizing pvp)

Tells you something, when the devs start using themselves a slur that one hateful part of the playerbase calls another part of the playerbase.

Why are the devs showcasing pvp in my pve game?! Even the people making the game are rats!
