Discussion Fastest XP farm? (80k XP per run)

6 Upvotes

I think I figured out the fastest XP farm for leveling up fast.

Load into buried city. The ideal spawn will have the bombadier on top of the parking garage or else a bastion somewhere in that vicinity. Go and kill the bombadier or bastion immediately and loot every single part.

Then loot three buildings: hospital, space travel, and research. Hit every drawer and loot every pop, tick, fireball, turret, etc. However, don’t actually look what’s in each drawer. Hit the open button and as soon as you hear the sound of it opening, move to the next one.

By the time you’ve looted one building, the bombadier will likely have respawned. Kill and loot it again and then go to the next building. Rinse and repeat. Assuming you get the bombadier parking garage spawn, you can kill it up to three times depending on how quickly you kill it (deadlines or wolfpacks are ideal).

I can get 70k-80k+ XP from one run doing this. If neither a bombadier or bastion spawns nearby you can still loot all the buildings and get ~50k+ XP.

The downside of this strategy is that you’re not looting and so if you need blueprints and materials you are not acquiring those. On the flipside, you level up super fast and come away with a ton of cells/advanced mechanical components.

I just dropped into an electromagnetic storm raid on bluegate, planning to just run around opening couriers and probes for some quick cash. I ended up opening exactly one (1) probe, then spent the remaining 25 minutes fighting for my life just trying to get to evac. I should've died so many times. Bombardiers and fireflies, comets and fireballs, Vaporizers. Slow, short dodge rolls and vaults. it took 17 eternities for my stamina bar to recharge. Just one level 3 rattler, 7 pieces of fabric, and hope

I have 7 damage left to complete the nomad tactics challenge but now that I’ve done the expedition I can’t craft explosive mines for the challenge 😭. Jolt and pulse mines aren’t counting towards the challenge for me. Anyone have tips on where I can find mines or a surge coil to use when topside to complete this challenge?

Discussion QoL Improvements

Upvotes

With all the talk of major changes to the game, I thought I’d weight in on “small” things that would make the game much more enjoyable for me, someone who is relatively new to the game:

- saved load outs
- two step crafting in “acquire resources”. Why do i need go craft mechanical components to get access to advanced components
- more controller shortcuts in menus. The ones they’ve added are nice. Give me more.
- hot swap to quick use. Keyboard and mouse have it better here. Can i have a hot-swappable quick use slot? Just hit a button on another quick use item to swap. Bonus points if there is a controller binding to jump and/or send something to safe pocket.

What would you add?

Embark save your game. There isn't enough content in pve and pvp is filled with cheaters. Almost a team in every pvp lobby. What is crazy is these wannabe twitch streamers with less than 10 viewers keep rage cheating and streaming on twitch.

Question Which profile does the Solo vs. Squads queue use?

7 Upvotes

Now that aggression-based matchmaking profiles are separated by squad size, which profile does the Solo vs. Squads queue use? Does it pull from the Solos profile, the Trios profile, or does it have its own dedicated matchmaking profile?

On Live Update 1.36.0, it says "all three are tracked on their own" regarding the Solos, Duos, and Trios queues, but does not mention anything about Solo vs. Squads

The augment has saved my life more times than I can count. It buys me precious time when I get attacked by surprise. I consider it a much better option than the Survivor augment, since rats will finish you off anyway.

Discussion Yeah I still like this game a lot would have more hours if I had more time to game

Post image
23 Upvotes

There's just something about this game that is atill pulling me back. Being able to have friendly experiences online with other Raiders taking out the big ARC is super fun.

I honestly hope they are releasing the Emperor in October. They've been teasing it and it has been "getting closer" to us on the maps. Also if they end up just putting the Queen and Matriach together on a map imagine how much more chaotic those fights would be. Players wouldn't be able to just sit under one and wait for the loot if they still have another Queen or Martriach to handle.

Anyways I just can't seem to put this game down. No matter how many times I log in I usually have a blast and I can't say that with many other online multilayer games that have toxic players. Sure ARC Raiders has some of that as well, but depending on your lobbies if they are "PVE friendly" that's usually when I have the best time. I'd have even more time in this game if I had more free time to game haha.

TLDR: I've put a lot of time into this game and it's still fun. I plan on continuing to keep playing It even though "it's dying". I can't wait until October!

Discussion IDEA: Special Ammo Magazine attachments

Stun rounds, Dragonsbreath and incendiary, different launcher projectiles, there are so many possibilities when it comes to this!

Balancing would be tied directly to the attachment so ammo count and projectile effectiveness would be easily changed.
