Use the Anvil pistol to kill Arcs for the shared watch event going on currently.
Tips for rookies:
- Free loadout limits you a bunch, but use them as a rookie.
- If you get a good setup on free loadout and extract keep using the same one.
- The early guns that use light ammo seem to all suck really bad.
- Free loadout can give you some nice stuff at times, like fancy grenades.
- Over time your guns/shields break down and need repaired.
- I suggest using Free Loadout for awhile maybe to level 10.
- I spent most of the skill points on Mobility, seems good so far.
- You have stamina that runs out when sprinting but it improves with the skills.
- To make money sell all your crap so you can expand inventory space a few times.
- Play in group to start and learn the game, use “Fill Squad” and have it “On”.
- Make a custom loadout with extra stuff to survive
- Craft or purchase your preferred weapon
- Upgrade the weapon or buy it upgraded
- Have plenty of shield rechargers and bandages 5x of each.
- The basic bandages in free loadout are very weak, try the upgraded one.
- Medium shield is barely noticeable over light +10%, plus slows you down.
- Pack a defibrillator and keep in safe pocket to revive others when noob.
- If you are trying to farm but group wants to pvp, run off f em.
- Make sure to expand your inventory, it makes a big difference.
- You can sell extra lesser used resources for money, you’ll get more not hard.
- I keep around 50 heavy ammo for Anvil and Ferro.
- I like using a SMG and Anvil Pistol, make sure to pack extra ammo for SMG like 200.
- Do the quests during missions, finished ones showing above finally.
- Anvil pistol is much better Arc killer, can buy from Trader.
- On Xbox running solo is typically a bit more PVE, but got shot at 1/7 matches.
- Squad of 3 is full of lessons, each person having a different focus.
- Just stay within 50m of each other or closer, you will be picked off otherwise.
- Using the emote wheel to say hey or don’t shoot does help at times.
- When I hit level 20 the Expedition unlocked, it resets your progress but gives buffs.
- Think of it like a season in Diablo 3-4, but you keep your character and some things.
- It’s a project in this game and not a season.
- I’d suggest not worrying about Expedition until you learn more, it’s not mandatory anyway.
- Killing Arcs is about hitting the weak points and is enhanced when using a decent weapon..
- Arc that fly can be shot in the propellers on the side to lose control, they crash.
- The rolling Arcs in buildings that explode into fire die fast with an Anvil.
- Earlier today two wasps died flying next to each other from a single Anvil shot.
- Must be an even better weak point I need to look up.
If you want to just farm resources or kill Arc for event just use a free loadout, then you don’t need to worry about losing better stuff. One thing is over time all the gear is very easy to make or buy again. It’s not a big deal. Now gaining money so far is a pain, seems like selling stuff is the only way to earn it.
