Sorry for those who are always on about this but this is the game and why its so good.... asking for a PvE only mode is just saying "I love this game, but I wish it was different!"

You need to lose your stuff every once in a while and thats OKAY. I have 316 stash slots and they're constantly filled up where I'm selling good stuff because I just don't have room .. I love when a rat come along and kills me, now I have a reason to use my stash!

Is it really worth it? Either way I’m still finding the blueprint twice …. It’s just a matter of if I find it twice right now AND want to hoard arc parts that clog up my stash ……. I’ve always been very anti expedition smuggling with 2nd account/a friend but now I’m kinda just like well shit I have a mule that will do it for free, why would I pay Ermal?! That’s capitalism baby lol

I feel like it was unusually large for a patch…

To specify i want to get it legitly without asking players to give up for me.

I already spent hours farming scanners and trying to do it. I additionally throw gas grenades and showstoppers but people still run away easily.

I tried extracts on dam, beachcombing and close scrutiny for this but no luck, either i always run into competent players or miss something in my plan. Not even once my spawns even notice their target, sometimes they even spot and attack me first lol.

I do not shoot people because it already feels bad enough to bully people on extracts and beachcombing with scanners and grenades but i consider it.

I would appreciate any smart tips for getting this trophy.

Got some time in the game and wanna just shoot people now. For those who are in PvP lobbies regularly how do you farm? Do people normally just go to pve lobbies to farm and go back? Thanks

I could fairly easily get 3 stars before trials (gamer dad casual), but now I gotta say I am STRUGGLING to accomplish much with regards to trials.

Any tips? I’m back on my ferro / rattler game and starting to see just how much I leaned on my gear for trials.

I tracked resources for the new expedition project, now I’m onto page 3 but everything is still tracked from 1+2 but if I look in my logbook, I have nothing tracked … it’s driving me nuts seeing the icon when I’m out looting!!!! Anyone else having this issue or have a solution for me maybe?? It’s not the end of the world obviously, it’s just that I keep taking industrial chargers when I don’t need them anymore lol

I’ve been thinking of new ideas to increase replayability and add more of an endgame structure in ARC.

EXPEDITION

Expeditions should become a larger fresh-start progression

When doing an expedition, players are placed into a separate server, with separate stash and unable to transfer gear, currency, or resources from outside the Expedition. Every player starts equally.

The goal is to create a fresh economy and a true race towards ends game

ESCALATION

Escalation is a higher difficulty layer that applies to all standard maps and map conditions.
Escalation raids have increased ARC density, with increased intelligence, better loot pool and rewards, no raider hatches.

In order to access escalations you will need to achieve a certain level, quest progression and have a minimum kit value (50K+)

Quests will start awarding Raiders XP to help with leveling after expedition.

GENESIS PROTOCOL

A repeatable multi-step quest.

Genesis Protocol is only on Expedition servers and Escalation deployments.

Players will be required to have 3x of certain arc components: turbine cores for phase 1, queen reactors for phase 2, matriarch reactors for phase 3.

Phase 1 will be on Dam. Phase 2 on Blue Gate. Phase 3 on Spaceport.

During each phase, players will have to locate an uplink, input the recovered arc component, defend the uplink while swarms of arc converge. So phase 1 would have players load into Dam with 3 turbine cores. And have to go to 3 separate uplinks, loading 1x turbine into each. The uplink will shoot a giant beam into the sky, alerting players of the activity and spawning in a bunch of arc.

Genesis Protocol is repeatable.

Rewards for Phase 1 could be level IV blue weapon, consumables, guaranteed missing blueprint. Phase 2 the same except purple weapon. If blueprints all owned, player gets 2nd tier IV weapon.

Phase 3 drops are the real treasures. Rare chance as a legendary item unlock, purchasable at a vendor so not tradeable and limited to 1 per day, some exclusive cosmetics and skins
