Can you explain how the actual progression goes a little? Like I see people looting guns, materials etc
.. But do you get blueprints to build better weapons and armor? Like if you extract an awesome gun you can just lose it the next run?

I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain so here's a YT video. Think it should cover you questions.

But you're pretty much on the money above.

You gather materials to be able to craft weapons/items and level up the areas where you can craft weeapons/items.

So if you lose a good gun, chances are you'll be able to craft it again, even if its in the future.

yeah..here we go!

This must be my personal favourite experience in the last ten years.
The entire world just comes together to offer something that I just love.
Embark have created something special here.
With the popularity and obviously extra funds I'd like them to tweak the maps and change up some of the copy and paste models like the white Honda lookalike.

Crazy how into this game I am.. I haven't played an MP title solo like this since Halo 2. Convincing my friends to buy it has been hellish

 

[clarky]

I would give my right arm for 2 bits of rusted gear right now. Been to all the right places, at night and still no joy.

Switching to desktop. Steam Deck experience was like a fan running at top speed. Graphics were so-so. Not ideal. Poor Steam Deck can only handle so much.

What's with the ugly character models? I feel like I'm making a multi sex character. No offense.

Yeah the character creator is shite. Decided to role play as Topher and went with the old looking cunt.

From what I hear, that's an upgrade from you see in the mirror every day.

Holding my looks well over here buddy. I have some handy tips should you need them.

Played two hours. At first I was like wtf is this trash collecting? Rarely see any enemies too. Then it started to click. Missions are simple but you can't get screwed going back. Each round you kind of have a feel of what to do and what not to bring. It has a ton of potential. Once the loop starts to make sense, everything just falls into place. Some weird graphical issues with some raw textures, but that's my current PC. Steam Deck experience was on Proton Experimental otherwise it wouldn't run at all. Not that happy with the fan noise. After playing through Shinobi on my SD. That fan noise wasn't enjoyable. I did see some enemies that looked like they would tear me apart walking around.

I feel like a couple updates would make this game freaking sweet plus playing this on a better PC would help tremendously.

Maxed out on PC the game looks really nice. Few clipping issues here and there but other than that runs almost flawless.

If you are only a few hours in just wait, the game really sucks you in.

Sounds productive. I spent all night looking for fucking rusted parts, found 1 of 3.

Had some good fun along the way. Can't wait to get home and have some decent internet so I can play something other than solo's.

Rusted tools? Lol i got a lot of them last night.

But tbf i basically only did night raids...

To counter the positive side, i found 3 blueprint and they were all 3 for the same fucking mine that i'm never gonna use...

Oh and i killed my first human dude after 15 hours, i had the super liquidator looking gun that shot peas, he had an anvil, no fucking idea how i managed to win, probably karma since the dude betrayed us...

What's the developers said about their long term plans with the game. I've not had a chance to play too much so far with work taking priority at the moment but it's pretty clear that this game is very good and potential is enormous.

I think they added a roadmap to the first page of this OT.

The old "ten year plan" line got rolled out by the dev's the other day. Like the poster above said I stuck a short term road map in the OP.

Okay papitos I am gonna try this. Everyone says its amazing so I am going to give it a chance

Is there seriously no way to remove that serial number in the corner? I am playing on a OLED. I dont want that shit there

I added you. liquid_015

I'd use a mic even when solo, survivability goes up with a bit of communication.

Aaaaaaawwwww, i want the tick pet aswell



They leave money on the table if they don't let you tame the small robots to have them as pets that follow you around.

I have discovered Arc Raiders is in fact two games.

The first takes place from 7 AM to 2 PM, a game of camaraderie and the struggle of humanity against the Arc.

The other begins at 2 PM, once the kids get home from school.

Playing solo and no night raids seems to be the best combo for friendly runs.

I'd like a sharpening slider. Default DLSS4 is oversharpened, DLSS3 looks better, but not in motion so went back to DLSS4

 

[Luipadre]

No not tools im swimming in those bastards. These little fuckers are like Fabergé eggs.

I still need 3 of those fuckers, also the medical stuff for 2 lvl 3 upgrades. Cant find them

I play with a dualsense. Can i talk to people through the microphone of this controller? Guide me a little bit papito I am lost here

That being said I just did successfully my first extraction so I am not that bad of a player I guess

I have noticed that the game at 4k its a tad blurry right? I am using transformer but it feels a bit too blurry for my taste. There is some ghosting too when entering in buildings.

Blurry? im playing in 1440p and its oversharpened. DLSS4 in this game has some ghosting issues yes, but i cant go back to DLSS3. It just looks bad in motion after 4

Yeah? Weird, maybe its because I am coming from OW2 which looks very clean and sharp in motion

 

[clarky]

I think I know where to find them. Going on shortly will report back.

Dunno about the dual sense. Get a nice headset. If you are playing solo I believe prox chat is set to down on the dpad. If you see anyone else in the wild just shout "Don't shoot papito" I'm sure that will work out.

 

[Guardian Monkey]

Yeah? Weird, maybe its because I am coming from OW2 which looks very clean and sharp in motion

There is a bit of blur for fast motion like pulling guns out etc. I've noticed it too sometimes. But the game runs good enough with it that I don't have complaints. Also turning off motion blur does help some from my experience with other games .

 

[Darchaos]

I still need 3 of those fuckers, also the medical stuff for 2 lvl 3 upgrades. Cant find them

Think ive fund all mine of thoose fucks in the Water treatment control and Primary facility on the dam map.

But everything with the mecanical image on the maps should do i guess

The other parts for the medical, ive found 3/5 so far, all from the crashed pods you see smoking on the ground every now and then.

 

[Liquid_015]

Anyone down for a game? Add me: Liquid_015#1424. Also, fun fact - you can trade in your free loadout augment for a Combat Mk.1 augment with the Vendor (Lance).

Yes you can, even if you're on PC, just set your microphone to being the controller one, it's in your sound settings.

Snipers are a real problem in this game

Most raids I do on the space station map someone is on one of the tall towers with a sniper rifle, and when they have a silencer attachment you are basically never going to spot them. Died multuple times this way...

I've done close to 150 raids so far and this just keeps me digging for more, phenomenal game

speaking of which, is there a blueprint for silencers? or a way to get them other than looting? cant see them available to buy in the trader shop

Why exactly is a chicken managing my loot in this game? Is there a lore reason?

 

[GHG]

Why exactly is a chicken managing my loot in this game? Is there a lore reason?

It's not managing it, it's picking up random scrap/loot for you so that if you die on a run and lose all your stuff that you took up there with you it softens the blow and allows you to still be able to craft some basic stuff.

I'd say make it a priority to level up the chicken ASAP.

 

[geary]

Why exactly is a chicken managing my loot in this game? Is there a lore reason?

Is not, but i saw an interview with the devs and is an inside joke from them...dont remember what was

 

[R6Rider]

All I remember is instead of creating a whole new human character for the role, they just used the rooster model they already had. To be cheaper and faster. From there is just stuck and they went with it.

 

[Arsic]

The lore is you must feed your cock to become fat and in turn it gives you its seed.

 

[Luipadre]

Electrical storm modifier on saturday. It has no improved loot so we'll see if its worth it or not. Maybe its a good condition for big robot farming if it hurts them that much

 

[Gonzito]

Okay this is a good game. I can see why people are enjoying it. So far everyone has been friendly with me and I am already level 3.

I am looking forward to continue playing more

 

[Tg89]

Been having some annoying performance issues with this one. If I boot the game up and shaders compile (ie. update, reinstall, gpu drivers change) it runs perfect. If I boot it up and shaders don't compile, it runs like an absolute bag of shit. Problem is I can't force the shaders to compile without reinstalling (at least I haven't found a way).
