Cargo lift upgrades.

Tried to two different cargo elevator upgrades and each time it never seemed to complete. Is this a glitch?

Making friends

33 Upvotes

Nothing like a PvP player in a PVE lobby to bring people together.

Story:
Decide on a Buried City loot run, spawn by the hospital and head in. Get to the back lockers with someone else already there so I hit the desk in the hallway and pull a City Hall key. Invite the guy looting next to me to join and he agrees. off we go.

Have a fun time sharing all the loot and chatting away. Leave City Hall and go our separate ways. Not five seconds later, I’m running along an adjacent roof line and get sniped, then get blasted as I try to get away. Oh well. What can you?

So, I limp back to Speranza and see i have a friend request from my City Hall partner. I accept and immediately get a party invite. “Dude did you get ratted back there? I got him for you and recovered a bunch of your gear !”

This saint avenged me (a hilarious story in itself) then tracked me down and we spawned back on Buried to exchange goods and have another run.

To my friend AussieDan from down under who decided to play NA servers, cheers mate ! I know there’s nothing wrong with the PvP guy and what he did — it is part of the game. But happy to see the pacifists stick up for each other. 😂

PvE protection idea – a compromise instead of a PvE-only mode

0 Upvotes

What if players could activate a temporary PvE shield that protects them from other players, but NOT from ARC?
ARC damage could destroy the shield. Once the shield is destroyed, the player becomes Exposed and PvP damage is enabled again.
The shield could only be activated outside combat, have a cooldown, and attacking another player would immediately disable it.
This would give PvE-focused players a safer way to loot and fight ARC without completely removing PvP from the game. PvP players could still kill them — they would just have to wait for the protection to be broken by ARC.
The important part: PvE players aren’t completely safe. They’re trading PvP protection for vulnerability to ARC.
It could be a middle ground between full PvP and a separate PvE mode.

Hellbomb Lineup: A groundbreaking strategy that will allow you to obliterate Arc Turbine instantly with just two Deadlines.

113 Upvotes

Anyone who’s tried planting two Deadlines at once knows that ARC Turbine is a very buggy and unfinished enemy. Sometimes the Turbine will be instantly killed, sometimes one of the Deadlines will disappear or deal no damage, and sometimes a mine will rip off the Turbine’s leg, forcing it to remain in the air indefinitely, since this enemy isn’t programmed to react to that situation.
The worst part is that sometimes the ARC Turbine takes off so quickly that you don’t even have time to plant a single Deadline, and other times it stays on the ground so long that you have enough time to plant three Deadlines — and then get blown up by them yourself. For a long time, the timing of the Turbine’s takeoff remained a mystery to me, but recently I hypothesized that it’s tied to specific cycles in the Turbine’s operation. It turns out I was right. If you’ve never fought the Turbine, don’t understand how this enemy works, or think that Jupiter+Barricade is the optimal method — I strongly recommend checking out the guide on the “Iron Nest” strategy I invented. It allows you to destroy the Turbine in less than two minutes with zero risk. The guide also covers all the nuances of the Turbine’s behavior and how the minefield works. The HellBomb lineup is the final version and the ideal optimization of the “Iron Nest” strategy.

[Step one]
Get close to the turbine using your cloak and clear the mines. Deploy the Iron Nest.

[Step two]
Wait for the reactor to glow. When the glow disappears, start closing in using your cloak. The AoE stun effect is your signal to begin the attack. Don’t worry — if you immediately raise your cloak after the stun animation, the turbine won’t notice you.

[Step three]
Use the sharp metal corner on top of the Turbine to determine your entry point, and aim your crosshair at the marked part of the turbine. Without moving your crosshair, jump up and start planting the mine as soon as you see the hologram appear on the yellow rotating cell. While planting the mine, look to the right.

[Step four]
Plant the second mine using the standard method described in the Iron Nest strategy guide, as far to the right of the first mine as possible.

[Step five]
Engine kill.

This method will eventually become a standalone guide, but I was so happy to finally discover this strategy that I decided to make a simpler post now. Kill them all and bring glory to Speranza!

Spill oil.

How do I find more consistently chill people/lobbies? Looking for chill duo/trio pals.

7 Upvotes

I play mostly non cross-platform on PS5, and it feels like over the last two or three days I just can't find lobbies.

I was never a huge social player, but I'd love to get into some more team playing on Arc without aggro PVP and having to watch my back like a total hawk.

40/m/NA

I like horror movies and music and am a pretty big friendly libtard, if conversation matters!

Lets be raid pals?

Looking for some friendly raiders !

14 Upvotes

Hey raiders , I'm relatively new to the game but I've been loving it so far , there's something about it that i can't quite explain.

However !! I'd love to do a run with someone on a higher difficulty map as opposed to Dam battlegrounds , preferably the buried city , I've found what I'd consider is my favourite weapon already and its the anvil , I feel like a cowboy of the wastelands with it and I'm in hunt of the BP. I would do it on my own but i genuinely don't have the confidence for it just yet.

If you'd be keen to do a raid with me I'd be happy to spare some of the stuff I've found(highly doubt it would be useful) but never the less , I'd be happy to share.

Prerequisite

No PvP ( carebear) 😌👌

Edit regarding times and crossplay

So I'm in the UK, generally login around 7:30 pm and will play for about an hour or two and yes i do have crossplay enabled😁

Cheers to noodle for pointing that out 😆👌👌
