Free to play for 4 days with the new update

And a new evolution of Arc video

I havent touched this in like 8 months. Sad

Just realized something: in the PvE lobbies, what if you could engage in indirect PvP by tossing Lure Grenades at other raiders so that the ARC would target them
Hopefully Embark has already been ahead of this

ARC sure BUT THE FINALS???

ARC, The Finals, Ghost of Tsushima, Control and Alan Wake = my fave games ALL getting movie/TV adaptations

Hopefully I can consider Death Stranding to be a favourite game of mine one day so I can be properly excited for its movie adaptation

Probably could make a decent ensemble comedy out of the finals. At least that what I’m hoping for. Following a group through the tournament could be cool

If TF project is a comedy then this dude should definitely star in it

At least a cameo

Finally
But wait..
It’s not dropping with the Frozen Trail update tomorrow??? …

Been like 4 months since I last played ts

Same but we touching down this weekend

tarkov unbeatable in the extraction genre

New map has dynamic loot

As we’ve mentioned during our latest Q&A, we will be testing out a Dynamic Loot Zone system, currently exclusive to Pendola Pass. The intent is to make the loot values of certain areas vary from raid to raid, thus making “routes” less predictable and scavenging more dynamic. An important distinction to make is that zones will not change their inherent loot type (therefore, Residential loot areas remain Residential loot areas no matter what), but rather, one such area may yield more value one Raid, and less value on another raid.

From the Frozen Trail patch notes: arcraiders.com/news/frozen-trail-2-0-update

Just copped a new outfit

My raider’s ready to scale.. PENDEJO PASS

Useful Pendola Pass tip:
You can stand on top of the new extraction point or hook onto it with a Grappling Hook, bypassing the 3-raider limit

How’s the update

Makes me want to pick up and try out again. Probably try a different playstyle

Grappling Hook is a brilliant addition to the game. You could use it in combo with the Snap Hook.

New Bully ARC is tough af fighting solo. I made sure to fight it at the train cars for cover and it still had accurate line of sight on me when I thought it didn’t (in other words, I got my s*** rocked by it lmao).

The new map feels massive and dense with the POIs.

There are still many things I haven’t tried yet (e.g. Frigate ARC map condition, new Stilleto weapon, building the Outpost, Amplified Weapons to name a few).

All in all, it’s hard to tell if it’s enough to "save" the game, but I haven’t played in months and I’m really enjoying my time being back in this world again.
I can definitely say that my first impressions for Frozen Trail are way more positive than they were for the Riven Tides update.

First time ever loading onto the new map and this is what I see:

Lowkey gave me The Revenant vibes

Played a lil bit and got clapped lol but digging the level design of new map, can’t wait to get grappling hook

I believe there are 2 ways to get the Grappling Hook right off the bat:
1. One of the new quests gives you one just by accepting/taking on the quest.
2. You can get one through the Nomadic Envoys trader in exchange for some items.
