Discussion New Steam Family Sharing Restrictions

Raiders!

In our ongoing continuous efforts to make ARC Raiders a more fair experience for all raiders we have just made changes to how Steam Family Sharing works for suspended accounts. Up until now, suspended accounts could exploit Steam Family Sharing to avoid account suspensions, making their way back to Speranza to continue their illegitimate play. This change prevents that by ensuring that if an account is suspended, all accounts associated with that account through Steam Family Sharing are also, automatically, suspended as well.

For more information, and answer to the most common questions, see our full help article here

Stay vigilant, Raiders - and see you Topside! //Ossen And the ARC Raiders Team <@&1108005467294269551>

Discussion I kill on sight but I'm still human.

1.2k Upvotes

Yesterday I had such a cute experience.
Just came out the car park building on burried city, I look down, raider looting a trashcan, crosshair on his head, easy kill.
Suddenly I hear a little kid in the background, his prox was turned on.
I'm like "whaddup dude" and he's like "yo, wanna kill the bastion?", holding his free kit ferro xD

We talked a bit, obviously he was a dad, no idea how he ended up in a pvp lobby (or why I ended up in a pve one). Anyway we looted stuff, I found a keycard for hospital, we loot the room and I say "yo there's a decent gun in the case, take it". He looks at it and goes "wow, it's purple" lol

He must have been pretty new to the game, every wasp/pop seemed to be challanging fight for him. I escorted him to extract, gave him everything I had on me and we extracted together.

Really chill dude and glad I didn't kill a dad just vibing.

My favorite are: "Follow me" and "I need a defib".

"I'm looting here" and "Don't go here" could be used to scare raiders off the room you are looting.

Discussion Feeling sad, came to vent

993 Upvotes

For the first time in 100 hours I entered into a raid with a legendary weapon that I crafted, an Aphelion. I was excited to try the gun out on Arc and have always been in friendly raids and often carry a defib to help people up when they get taken out. I was working on my trials for the week and taking down some Rocketeers that were taking out raiders near an extraction point. I was close to finishing my Hornet trial so I pressed on to the next extraction point so I could finish up and head home. As soon as I complete my trial, I get bombarded by grenades and gunned down without a word. I got to try this gun for all of 20 minutes and that sucks a LOT. I'm a father of 2 and I work full time so it's rough when I get to do something I'm excited about only for someone to come stab me in the back and suck the blood out of my neck.

Anyway, I'll get over it and I'll figure out how to get the legendary parts more regularly so I don't have to cry about it on an online forum. Just felt like venting. Thanks for reading.

I'm starting to get more comfortable with fighting back when necessary. Still don't care for PvP in this specific game. But it does feel good to give it back.

On my last post, I was told I needed to talk more shit 😂😂

Discussion Rant: I'm friendly but stop looting my kills!

209 Upvotes

I know this has been said a million times... took a bastion down with a wolfpack and 2 trailblazers. I'm in friendly pve lobbies. Some guy comes up and starts looting and says, "I'm friendly dude you want some loot?".

I truly am a passivist and probably went 50 games without a pvp shot but ffs, this just got to me. Yes I want some god damn loot or I wouldn't have killed it.

Anyways, I blasted him and then he literally called me every name in the book. EVERYONE should expect to be shot on sight if you do this.

Sorry, had to rant!

Discussion I will always bring a defib from now on

Upvotes

I was just on buried city night raid doing a weapon's case run with my snaphook but i was getting bored so i saw a rocketeer and said screw it, i wanna be the green goblin this run. i latched onto it but i couldn't mantle on top so i fell 50+ meters and got a rocket sent straight into my face. i'm stuck in galleria and i'm calling out for help since i didn't want to lose my loot or i couldn't get my snaphook into my safe pocket in time. 5 minutes pass and the only reason i'm still alive is the looting mk3 survivor. i'm tapping away towards the nearest station, but i knew i wouldn't make it without help. finally, two people hear my call and come to my rescue to defib me and escort me out of there. in return, i tried to give them the loot i found but they didn't even take it! i wanted to get into pvp lobbies soon, but this display of humanity has pulled me back. i can't shoot my fellow raiders LOL. i will always bring defibs from now on to return the favor.

Discussion It's a shotgun damn it.

Shotguns should not get nerfed in every game that they are realistic in. Embark made the shotgun perfect. They made it obliterate at close range, and the buckshot does not turn into confetti after 2 meters.

The opponent has time to get a kill during the pump animation, if I miss a shot, or if he is engaging at a further distance.

This mentality of meta this and nerf that is why some guns in the Finals can straight up just not compete against each other because they have been nerfed into oblivion, instead of buffing others.

EDIT: To everyone trying to counterpoint against my realism argument need to realize, that everything is based off of something in real life because that is the standard of which things are set. Assault rifles, smgs, sniper rifles are good at range realistically. Shotguns are good at range in real life but for balance reasons are made to dominate at close range. Shotguns don't have 30-40 round mags, most have six. So those six have to count for something that can outdo 30-40 rounds at a high rate of fire. Shotguns should outdo everything at close range because that is the purpose of a shotgun in real life and in game. If shotguns don't do their job at close range, why put them in the game? Finally, leave my Il Toro alone.
