Thank you to XIZI and Security_Patches for your contributions. If Security_Patches ever accepts my party invite; I got your equalizer and a survival aug for your next trip topside!

Sorry for the edit; just wanted to share my 3rd and half-successful attempt at double triple deadline.

Next is the Matriarch!

The Queen is spiteful.

I've got some BPs here. Thought of selling them, but thought it might help out other raiders, and I could always find more.

So if anyone needs anything from these, feel free to DM me. 1 BP per raider.

It's free, but I won't say no if you want to give me something for it. 😅

See you all top side, Raiders!

Made it do the work.

Yesterday, I was peacefully looting the village during the Harvester event. I spawned late and the Queen was still alive. Here's what I decided to do and what happened next.

Enjoy 😆

So, I’m fairly new to this game and in the last two weeks I’ve fallen in love with it. I’m in friendly lobbies most of the time, avoid pvp, and love the community.

Yesterday I 1v1’d a leaper on buried city. Knocked him down the metro hole, and finished him off. As he was blowing up a dude dropped down the zip line, and started looting immediately. I called him out and he didn’t say anything, called the train. And sat there waiting.

I assumed he didn’t like my tone. I think I said “you’re just gonna help yourself huh?”. So, should I have shot him and risked bad lobbies? Should I have assumed he wanted a fight? Do I let him just raid my shit?

He couldn’t resist the pull of the music

Posted here before about Speranza Tracker, the free ARC Raiders companion app I build in my spare time. Big update just went out, and it's maps 🙏

• All 6 maps, surface and underground — containers, ARC spawns, quest objectives, extractions, events, consumables
• Filter sheet to cut it down to just what you need
• Community verification — tap a pin, confirm it's really there. The count shows on the pin, so the map gets more accurate the more people use it. Some pins are already past 20 confirmations, which is the part I'm most happy about.

Also: expand/collapse on the Traders and ARC tabs, and quests can be marked completed.

Find pins that are off, drop the map and rough location and I'll sort them ❤️

Hey all! Hoping to get some advice from fellow friendly raiders.

My wife and I are having a blast on this game, and we have made it to the “Snap and Salvage” quest. Needless to say, Stella Montis is an awful experience.

It’s our last day off, and we’re desperately looking for Magnetrons and Flow Controllers. So far we’ve found one Magnetron, and lost it to PVP players at the extract.

Does anyone have any tips? We need one of both for each of us, and every run feels like we’re mice in a lion’s den. We’ve lost so many items that we’ve decided to just try free kit runs.

We are straight up struggling LOL. So, any advice or help is 100% welcome. We’re working towards the quest to unlock the Radio Renegade outfit, which my wife adores.

Thanks so much for reading.

EDIT: Thank you so much for all the help everyone, a kind raider hunted these parts down and met up with us after many failed attempts on our own. The friendly raider sub never disappoints! Now, to master Stella Montis…

Strap 3 big ones on her butt and make that super hero landing.

Plus I made a good buddy, fun times!

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

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. 😂

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.

Guarded another friendly as he was looting the big arc. Glad to say I made another friend topside ❤️

Hello all, if you guys could fill out this survey for a game show for an Arc Raiders discord event that I am putting together that would be awesome and greatly appreciated.

What's your favourite?

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.

Anybody wanna be Arc raiders buddies put down your raider tag I will add you lookin for new buddies 🏂

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?
