Ain’t nobody doing all that in gta 6, everyone will dump the car at the first issue and hijack the nearest one.
Game is called Grand Theft Auto ffs.

[Kowshii @KowshiiX]

GTA 6 isn’t a game anymore… it’s a whole second life. 💀🔥

@iv_sal1 Piracy doesnt always harm sales. In some cases it can even be a net positive, functioning as free advertising that raises awareness and drives more legitimate purchases.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@DkooliO Understandable. Though that BP can also appear in various other places, including inside large ARC, Surveyors and random containers.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

I'm sad to say that the ARC Raiders Frigate event is no longer worthwhile.

We did 3 raids in a row since last patch and found a single MK module in over 25 opened containers. Used to be one in every other container. Dunno if you guys experienced the same thing.

They made no mention of this in patch notes AFAIK, only mentioned Emperor.

Embark unfortunately nerfs way too much without balancing with a buff on the other end. This artificially extends playtime and grind, but it's never fun for the player, which leads to retention loss.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@2Sexy4MyGPU Yeah, and most weapons, and many skills, and locked loot rooms, and crafting, and various other things including movement.

Balancing is important, but balancing goes both ways. otherwise they’re just artificial hurdles that lead to frustration and fatigue.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@nashotobi That's actually a good idea. Embark has a lot of trouble coming up with good incentives, throughout the whole game. That is their Achille's heel and the sole reason, imo, for the retention issue. A wonderful sandbox lacking properly incentivized content.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

Jl’ai lu, vu l’info sur l’Empereur, pas remarqué la frégate. Mouais, je pense que c’est nul en solo tu dois compter sur les autres qui contribuent rarement, alors qu’en groupe tu te fais souvent tirer dessus. La salle centrale ne vaut même pas tout l’effort et les ressources dépensées. Je n’ai vu presque personne là-bas ces 2 derniers jours en solo, ce qui suggère que ça vaut plus vraiment le coup.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@brewsky46 True. In this game it’s best to do your grind as early as possible when content is released, cause it inevitably gets grindier in time.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@Schwallinho Yeah emperor is goated

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@Kingfisto91 For sure now, used to be good though.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@gamesvesica You cannot find that one, I think it's the Retro Sofa, only available in the Frozen Trail collector bundle. You have to buy it.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@TheRustedGear Don't forget Scrappy.

Do not ignore candleberries my friends.

Also, dunno who needs to hear this, but I see looted containers with research study left in them, and sometimes even thrown on the ground, ALL THE TIME.
Those research items are literally the most important things in ARC Raiders atm. What are you thinking!?

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@SomeSpicposter Alongside the river on Pendola. It only grows in cold environments.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@quickcat21MK You don't need storage.
Right-Click > Study consumes them and adds points to your total, which you can later use to unlock amplified weapons research.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@SparkusMarkus99 Yep, on blue gate and buried city they can be found near trees on the ground. Though Pendola and Stella night are best for that grind.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@CopyCattan Try doing them in groups if possible, their kills count for you as well. For that specific task I recommend visiting Buried City train stations, killing pops, then aggoing fire balls and setting the mine in front of them as they approach. It sounds a lot harder than it is.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@Unqualified4Lyf Oh yeah.
Paperback gives 50pts
Raider logbook 100pts
Exodus book 150pts
ARC Data Module 200pts

It's a loooong grind to 75,000 pts

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@Jord__96 I'm not sure tbh, perhaps any feeding leads to more seeds. I don't pay much attention to the rest, I have too much of it, I keep selling. I leave 4-5 spots for each and delete the rest.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@CopyCattan I don't know about that. You need 75,000 points just for amplified weapons, it's the hardest thing to achieve by many magnitudes.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

@GEATSzilla I actually suggested that to them last week. I think it would be the best middle of the road solution.

[Jon Wade ⚡️ @SteamTrader]

ARC Raiders' CEO and Executive Producer both confirmed a permanent PVE lobby is coming to the game soon.

"Ignoring the PVE camp and saying, that's not how our game is built, would be unwise"

Killing PVPVE would also be unwise. Let’s see what happens.
