Tips for casual players?
I love Arc Raiders; I’m having a blast running around and exploring, dealing with Arc and getting occasionally murdered but I haven’t much to show for it. Any tips for good blueprint spots? Things you wish you knew sooner? Comment anytime with anything relevant (please) because I’ll never figure it out by myself lol.
What's your opinion on Arc Raiders "ABMM servers"? How has your last few matches been?
I’m quite new to Arc Raiders (and the extraction shooter genre in general) and have been having a blast for the most part. The one thing I’m struggling with is getting “ratted.” Despite only having two defensive knocks in my entire month of playing (both from weeks ago) I still seem to run into players who are immediately hostile, even after acting friendly. I wanted to see if anyone here had any anecdotes or opinions on how they play or the game / servers. Don’t shoot!
A more reliable way to use Steam chat on Linux
If anyone else finds Steam’s desktop chat client a bit unreliable on Linux—sluggish UI, finicky context menus, emoji pickers that vanish when you try to click them—there’s a solid alternative worth knowing about. You can use Steam’s web-based chat directly in your browser at: https://steamcommunity.com/chat/ [https://steamcommunity.com/chat/] Just log in and everything works noticeably smoother: menus behave, emojis are clickable, and the interface feels much more responsive. The only catch is you’ll need to keep a browser tab open for it. Hope this helps anyone else looking for a more stable Steam chat experience.
It’s genuinely disappointing to see how many responses suggest the solution to targeted harassment is for the targets to simply leave or block the user, as if that fixes anything.
To those suggesting we just ‘block’ or ‘ignore’ racial spam: you’re asking us to accept a degraded community as the new normal. The problem isn’t our sensitivity; it’s the refusal to uphold a basic standard of decency. Vindicating the attacker by shifting the burden to everyone else is not a solution.
