Starting to believe the theories that Stella was rushed out ahead of schedule to capitalize on the insane momentum at launch. Directional sound is still fucked in some areas there too.

Killing people with guns ends up boring.
The best way is to be creative on your griefing.
Place mines on dead bodies,
Place walls around a dead body, put tons of good loot in it and wait for someone to go in and start inventory manageing then lock them in with another wall and throw smoke, gas and blaze grenades.
Throw down snitch drivers to spawn wasps and than throw a lure grenade at a raider.
Barricade an key room with a wall, place laser trip wires on the wall and the minute a raider disassembled the wall, all the traps go off.
Just some of the ways you can get enjoyment in being a creative troll.
Stella does feel like it's got tons of issues compared to the other maps. Spawns being next to arcs is a big one I notice.

Free kit Stella montis is definitely a vibe and it’s fucking awesome when you can manage a big gun haul and snowball victories into the next runs.
You really want to focus on upgrading your work benches though. They become really handy to be able to craft hatch keys and trigger nades which are busted as fuck. All you really need to dominate and kill shit tons of people are trigger nades and an il toro/venator.
Also since you’re playing the game now, you should give watching Burnt Peanut a chance. Genuinely amazing entertainment and social interactions when he plays.

The character design in both arc raiders and the finals is so fucking ugly. The cosmetics too, I think it’s supposed to be gorpcore (which is retarded) but there are only like 1 or 2 good looking clothes cosmetics, not that it really matters.
The finals had the same issue with the heavy. He was just a tall pudgy dude with a m60, and he looked like what fat dudes who cope about being strong think they look like (also he was caked up for some reason lol) They’ve added an actual jacked guy for the heavy now, an everyone uses it instead of the pudgy skin.

The Fireflies are fucking irritating, I love them. Shoot the yellow bit underneath when it appears.
I just killed two comets and neither of them had a special part on them. Some other raider I ran into later gave me one, told me I'd need it for the new project. What the fuck is happening?

After brute forcing the first 10 hours this game finally clicked for me as a solo player. It was tough coming in with no knowledge of the extraction shooter genre and the tutorial explains fuck all. Collecting what I perceived to be worthless garbage before getting rinsed by the first shooty drone I see or getting shot in the back, I struggled to get past two rounds before logging off.
Things I wish I knew in the start:
Things I wish I knew in the start:
- You need the Ferro to kill Arc
- You can expand your stash inventory
- You can get free load outs
- Re-map dodge roll to mouse

Ferro is good, but you'll find uses for the other guns soon enough.
You can only expand your stash space so many times before you need to wipe your progress with an expedition to get more space.
Free Loadouts are useful for quests where you don't care about much more than an objective getting completed UNLESS you need a specific item for it, then you'll want a safe pocket at a minimum.
At a certain point you'll be so overloaded with good stuff that you'll inevitably start considering whether or not to take your Lvl 4 Bobcat with blue/purple/yellow attachments in lest you lose it to someone else or to ARC, but we don't really own any of this. We're just the current holders of whatever we find.
You don't have to shoot people, but it can be fun to do. So can helping people instead. The game lets you choose how you want to play. There are people just wandering around grabbing screenshots of pretty landscapes, others try to pull off crazy stunts like parkouring down buildings and elevator shafts without damage, I love snaphooking onto a rocketeer with a deadline and hoping he didn't get high enough to kill me when I jump off.

I don't know what the fuck they did in the last patch but whoever was complaining about the AI being too easy should be shot in the fucking head. I've died twice as many times to the AI than the fucking players at this point. I'm half-awake running to the apartment complex for my 50th fucking run for a goddamn mother fucking TOASTER because they don't spawn any TOASTERS and I can't upgrade anything else until I get my THIRD TOASTER, but then I cross paths with a bastion and a rocketeer every single time. If you're not on high stamina, with 100% shield and 100% health, and a nearby structure, you are FUCKED. They do 100% shield damage and 80% health damage per hit, the rocketeer will aggressively pursue you without any max radius, and there's no recovery and no fightback. You're either totally prepared to deal with this or you're just dead. There's no in between. It wasn't until this patch that things were this fucking bad. They added these highly armored rolling balls too that are like a Tier 3 rolling ball. If you see one of those and you're not far from it or have no vertical escape, you're fucked, there's no hope.
Like I can't upgrade any of my faggot crap until I get my fucking toaster! They aren't spawning any fucking toasters! I can't do anything to engage the AI until they spawn toasters! They spawn 1000 rocketeers a map and not a single fucking toaster!!!! I've spent all day LOOKING for a TOASTER.

Dam Battlegrounds little appts have the toasters, I think that's where you are alluding to.
however, there is one simple trick to avoid Bastions and Rockteers, and that is Smoke Nades, you can craft the "lil smoke" nades and big smoke nades and ARc cannot target you while your in them, this will usually allow you to get to a structure and hide till they go "blue".
the expensive solution are Showstoppers and photoelectric Cloaks, I find these are too narrow, smoke nades also fuck over people trying to shoot you too, you can use them and juke to a location or just use them and heal inside them, they are honestly the most useful items in the game.

Why not just make other kiwis play with you and gunt gaurd you or use you power as a streamer to get a toaster.

I like using lure grenades to get them to chase other players instead, makes for a funny sight to see some free kitter be chased around by a very angry quadcopter.

they should blame Embark, i only actively started killing players once they implied ABMM was a thing and i want to wane off the carebear lobbies which are basically just PvE by proxy, i personally need the threat of other players being capable of being hostile to keep the game interesting for myself because playing with the knowledge that everyone in the lobby wants to hold hands and sing kumbaya makes for a lame experience once you're done with the novelty of such lobbies.
the issue is that most players who have done all of the content are only left with doing trials which are made infinitely easier without PvP getting in the way, so all the sweats metagame themselves into these friendly lobbies where they can do all the trial/quest/project content without getting shot at.

They've nerfed weapons, increased crafting recipe requirements and buffed the ARC. It's annoying, but my bro and I still managed to kill the comets and fireflies we're running into. Maybe we're just lucky tho.
Clickers are absolutely tougher than they were a week ago tho, that's clear from the last 10 rounds.
If you want an easy toaster run, go to departure building on Spaceport. Hopefully you're in the carebear lobbies and won't have to watch your back too much, but if not, take a low-value augment with a safe pocket and some stims and run your ass off to the big red building. I see 5-7 toasters in there every day.
Good luck.

The cafeteria in Departure Building on Spaceport. Bring lots of adrenaline shots (5+) to traverse the map quickly.

How significant was the stitcher nerf? Can you still down most players in one clip? Took a break from Arc after running out of things to do but the new map conditions look interesting
