Multiplat Any of you guys playing Arc Raiders?

Strongly recommend running sone solo night raids. I am not sure how it is with teams yet but the first few times you are running it is heart pumping exciting. During day time raiding you hear animals, birds chirping, crickets, whatever. But at night... NOTHING. it is quiet as fuck and every movement (running, breaking in, etc...) you make seems amplified. It's dark and lonely and you are surrounded. Love it! Kept on bringing keys (have a stash of them) and was about to get several purple weapons. nothing gold yet. Had run several successful night raid (meaning i got out alive). People seem a bit more cooperative from what I've see so far. A guy literally asked me to join him run to a secret door area. I lost him cause some leaper split us up.

Last run i got a bit overzealous. Looted a secret room in Spaceport trench tower and found nothing but junk and some rando popped in and we said hi. He came from the next tower and ziplined over. He raided the rest of my tower and I zipped over and raided his. Some bastion was making a lot of noise fucking up someone and i had the high ground and thought i'd help out. After a minute or so a rocketeer found me and locked on me. i zipped back to my tower immediately and went hiding. Then i decided you know i feel like destroying this rocketeer so i started blasting this bitch from the doorway. He couldn't see me for some reason so i him burning up and almost dead when another rando ran into the stairs dodge behind me, it triggered the rocketeer to aim at him into the stairs and it nailed me, taking out most of my shield and almost all of my health. Then this fucker shoots me and takes me down... WTF!!! Then again, i asked for it. got too comfortable making all that fucking noise.

FUN shit i tell!
 
I was loving Battlefield 6 then randomly decided to get Arc, thought id split my time between them but i havent stopped its so good its consumed me lol. Easily the most fun ive had in a multiplayer game in years. I never use my mic in games unless playing with friends but have started in this makes it even better/funnier.
 
I heard they’re adding awesome particle systems for weather. This true? This was over a week ago but I recall snow or fog maybe?
 
Want good performance in a Unreal Engine game? Remove the game engine key features:

 
I'm about 50 hours in, which has to be the most hours I've played a game in 10 day span. I've been gaming since the days of Atari, played just about every mainstream multiplayer game and ARC might just be my GOAT. I never thought I would say that about any mp game, especially an extraction but ARC has a nearly perfect gameplay loop and incredible community on top of that. Truly a masterpiece in every way despite a few flaws.

1. Upgrade stash - Loot items that have high resell value to increase your stash. If you hoard like most of us you will run out of space continually. Lazily speaking the trinkets (shown with diamonds on lower left corner of icon) are the most expensive resell items but there are other stackable items like hornet drivers that sell for 2K a pop.

2. Upgrade chicken - If you see these items you must save them: 1 dog collar (first upgrade) then 3 lemons 3 apricots then 6 prickly pears, 6 olives, 1 cat bed then 12 mushrooms, 6 apricots, and 3 comfortable pillows.

3 unlock and level up workshops: As you unlock each workshops, go to the level up section and track the items you need to level up. If there are items you like to build a lot then track the recipe so that you know what you are looking for.

4. Expedition - if you think you will play this game for a while then invest in the expedition. Look up the list of items you need to farm for it and plan ahead.

Generally any item that only says “can be recycled into crafting material” can either be immediately recycled or sold. But if you plan ahead with expedition there will be items (cooling fans and humidifiers) you need to save for them.

One way to farm for money is to go in any map with a free loadout, loot, come back and sell/stash everything and go back out with a free loadout. Once you are familiar with the layout of each map start target looting certain items like fruits during lush blooming or arc husks during husk graveyard events. Looting at night gets you better loot.

Drop some cliffs, dawg.

It's a short blog post from their official site and doesnt need cliffs but here you go:

Duo matchmaking is now live. Store prices are being reduced tomorrow and players will be refunded the difference of what they already spent. New raider decks will not have any pay to win.

Fucking sweet!!

Hopefully they’ll more cool looking gear to rock. I bought the hoodie bog one.

Not paying for the raider deck is awesome. Haven’t activated that yet as I struggle with storage space. But soon. It’s almost a copy of helldivers 2 decks honestly.

I heard the enemy AI is really good, and it's a surprisingly well optimized Unreal Engine 5 game, even running well on older systems.

Tim Sweeny blamed developers for all the crappy performances in UE5 games, and you can't help but believe him. A friend if mine is playing this on a 1080 (1080p monitor too) and says it runs great with mid settings.

How big are the maps? My most anticipated game is Cyberpunk 2, this gives me hope that it won't be a performance disaster.

You just got me pretty intrigued in this game. I am still rocking a 1070 and can't be bothered upgrading quite yet.

I still play 1080p (obviously) and only started to struggle with games running at the start of this year.

I just want some games I can put a few hours into and that still look like games. I will go outside if I want realistic graphics haha.
 
I bought the game and while it's semi-fun honestly it gets boring. I've just been preferring BF6 right now.

Understandable. While its the best extraction shooter on the market. The genre will always have the problem of not excelling past other PvE or PvP focused games in that specific area.

One glaring benefit this game has over other extraction games. Is that it captured and is retaining that original DayZ communal aspect.
