Time to slam some servers and raid those lost ARCs 🫡

ARC Raiders is the first game since PUBG that makes me feel how I felt about PUBG. It's *great*, even in this limited playtest. The pace is much quicker, but the extraction mechanics, questing, and skill tree provide that hook that could make me play hundreds of hours of this.

[You know, if PUBG had a mode with all these elements, and not just shrinking circle gameplay, I would probably put hundreds of hours more into that, too]

@stroughtonsmith Wow, couldn’t have said it better myself. I’ve put almost 5000 hours in PUBG over the last 8 years and AR is the first time I feel like I have met its successor.

@jonc @stroughtonsmith I expected it to run butter smooth as The Finals we play also does. Embark Studios are the masters of how to make a game on Unreal Engine 5.
I didn't expect #ArcRaiders with the map size and detail to just run on Epic settings so good.
How many games require no messing with tons of graphic settings?!
I'm running a 4070Ti in 4K on Epic - the only change I made was to set DLSS to Balanced and the Transformer model to the newer better quality one.
