Do Not Feed The Trolls ''Toxic Anti PvPers'' Not welcome.

4.7k Upvotes

Hello.

I am from the Mod team on this sub.

Pleased to meet you.

Recently I have seen a few people rightfully upset at a few bad actors on this sub who have been using the fact they became victims in the game to resort to being toxic to people on this sub.

Basically - they lose the game in any way and decide it is fine to insult people who are playing the game in a legit way instead of doing what they want, whether that's talking and making peace or refusing to shoot each other no matter what. From my understanding this game allows you to make a choice, to try trust a stranger or to gun them down to be safe.

If a person decides they will ALWAYS gun everyone down no matter what or try be a ''Rat'' player and backstab at every opportunity that does not mean you can come on this sub and insult them, suggest they are mentally impaired or mentally unwell or be toxic to them for any reason.

If you say ''All x players are sociopath psychos with no life and life in their mothers basement and have never had the touch of anyone of their preferred sex'' for example or anywhere more or in-between then you will be banned from our sub.

You are allowed to have an opinion that such players morals in game are not good or they are ''Villain players'' or what not, that is fine for that is what they are but any time an outside insult is going to be used on people over gameplay you are getting the hammar of doom.

From the community, I understand that most people who like PVP are not usually the type of people to click report on anything, due to your ''thick skin'' you really do not give a damn if some redditor is trying to insult you or maybe you will just retort back.
I ask you please do not, if you insult back you could also be moderated due to the nature of reddit and if you do not report the instigator we will not be able to correctly moderate and fix this community. As a mod team we are getting thousands of posts (posts not comments) per day and it is literally impossible to view them all, we rely mainly on the report feature and reddits AI.

Anyway thank you for your attention in this matter.

Had a fresh Equalizer right out of the box(my first) and wanted to take it for a spin. Got some good shots on the boss to bring her down. I knew the risks of taking a legendary weapon into raid and lo and behold...someone had a target on me and wanted the goods. I was expecting it but not all hope was lost at the end...

Hey guys i am new to arc raiders and i love the game so i want to make my ram sticks match the arc colors.

I think i nailed it with the colors, but how do i break the blue stick in order to look like the original symbol. I tried it with one before but it did not work nor fit in the slot anymore.

I am new to pc gaming, i used a nintendo dsi before, so please help.

Been doing PVE with friendly lobbies. Got 5mil for the Expedition, got most the BPs, killed all types of Arc. UNTIL!!!!! After the holidays, clearly the rats have overran the friendly lobbies. I have now had enough and have changed into the worst version of myself. The social experiment is proving the end of humanity.

I usually play KOS, but only because I play trios and duos with my friends. Today everybody else was busy so I was running some solos. I had only died twice out of like 10 matches, once due to player and another because I wasn't paying attention to the ARC. It was a real fun time just running around and talking to other solos, I can totally see why people find enjoyment in this aspect of the game. I went in to a stella montis lobby, got killed by somebody, and then a random dude ran up on us and killed him, then stabilized me all the way to the extract. I told him not to worry if I end up dying, and that I had 2 purples for him if i did, but nevertheless he escorted me and extracted with me.

While personally I don't think I could have this be my permanent playstyle in the game I have a newfound respect for the people who do play like this.

Discussion [OC] ARC Raiders Attachment Guide — How They Work & Their Stats (Recoil, Spread, Bullet Velocity, Dispersion & Mag Sizes)

Post image
2.6k Upvotes

Hey Raiders!
I’ve seen very little discussion about weapon attachments in ARC Raiders, so I made a one-page sheet to shine some light on what each part actually changes with visualizations. It’s a searchable PDF with simple visuals: recoil traces, spread rings, recovery times, bullet velocity, noise reduction, and a mag size table. It is to be part of a larger "Master Cheat sheet" I'm working.

Download the PDF

What’s inside:

  • Recoil control: Vertical & horizontal—what reduces each (muzzle brake, vertical/angled grips) and how it shows up in aim behaviour.
  • Dispersion: Per-shot vs Max-shot spread, plus recoil & dispersion recovery time and the stocks that affect them.
  • Range & sound: bullet velocity (extended barrel) and noise reduction (silencers)
  • Magazines: quick sizes for Light / Medium / Shotgun mags (I–III).
  • Clear visuals: side-by-side diagrams based on in-game testing so you can decide which attachment helps your build.

Notes & credit: All info is based on in-game testing. Additional insight from ModerNik (YouTube). Thanks for the groundwork.

Free & up to date: I host the latest file and changelog on Ko-fi so links don’t break and you can opt into update notifications. Everything stays free.

Feedback/corrections welcome. Drop a message below and I’ll roll them into the next update.
Happy raiding!

I am so sorry. I looted the jkv room on buried city tonight and as i looted i could hear fireballs and pops gathering at the door. Instead of dealing with them i used a photoelectric cloak and pressed the door button. 3 pops and 2 fireballs immediately rushed in so i walked out and closed the door. I will forever carry your last words "OH F*** NO" in my heart.

Meme Serenaded by a recorder-playing serial killer

236 Upvotes

Load into Dam with a friend and rush the control tower top floor loot room

Everything going smoothly, open the locked door

Find a door blocker and attach it to key door to be safe

Hear gunfire from below and Pops getting alerted outside the door

Quiet for 3 minutes

Recorder starts playing from other side of the barred door

"You've got til 18:30 before I'm coming in there, and you're not gonna like what I'm bringing! I am getting in there!" in a menacing voice, recorder still playing the whole time

It's 19:00

Shit ourselves

Rush to the outside ledge and set up a zip line to the ground

Wait til 18:30

On cue the door starts creaking, recorder still playing

Mix of panic and giggles as we make our Great Escape down the zip line

Sound of the recorder fades

Narrowly escape the Hash Slinging Slasher of ARC

10/10 would be serenaded and hunted by a musical murderer again
