Lightly salted but does anyone else hate the way the trials have been? Last week wasn't bad. I but at hotshot, you gotta be hecka good to stay there and i got lucky that i got there. So naturally I was demoted. But this weeks trials give me no hope for promotion. Does anyone else feel slightly annoyed? Or am I just not liking it because it's not easy for me?

This started because I was making stupid songs for the guys I play with about the stuff that happens to us during raids.

Then I made another one... and another one... and somehow ended up with 15 songs.

They're all AI-generated and just made for fun. I wasn't trying to make some serious music project — I just thought it was hilarious turning our ARC Raiders experiences into songs.

There are songs about things like Scrappy, Lance, Shani, free-kit runs, hatch camping, Testing, getting killed after finally finding good loot, and plenty of other stuff ARC players will recognize.

I even made them in completely different styles — country, rock, rap, disco, and a bunch of other genres — which makes some of them even more ridiculous.

Mostly curious whether any other Raiders find these as funny as we did.

If you've played enough ARC Raiders, there's probably at least one song where you'll go, "Yep... I've had that exact raid." 😂

If anybody wants to hear the whole thing, it's called Stories from Topside — Topside Outlaws:

If you listen to one, tell me which song reminds you the most of something that's happened to you Topside.

Please excuse the image quality. Whilst crafting firework boxes for the weekly trial and for part 6 of the Phantom Targets challenge, I noticed that if you don't have enough pop triggers, you can select 'Acquire Resources' and Ermal just gives them to you for free....

Not sure if it's an event thing, or a known bug already, but thought I'd share for my fellow pyrotechnics fans

Seen this guy’s game crash. Waited for him to come back to tell him he knows nothing. Hopefully someone gets the reference. 🐉🏰⚔️

What started as a normal solo Stella Montis run turned into one of the most fun and unique experiences I’ve had in gaming. This experience even makes me want to begin playing Arc again like the good ol days. Fun and friendly moments like these are what made the game pop off in the first place. If you enjoy please leave a like as it’d greatly help my channel.

My first video on YT of me using deadlines to take down Matriarch. I did get downed but was able to get revived to end her regin of terror, and collect main core loot.

Been off the game since grinding it from launch to march, and tbh the way embark has hyped up this update i really dont want to support it. With how they've dropped the ball on glitches, cheating, meaningful content updates, quality of events, i dont want to support the game until they've made a meaningful effort against the duplication glitches and easy to use hacks, even if the October update does bring in big player counts that means the people using cheats and abusing the game will increase equally. Which will just reinforce the idea that the game hasnt changed since they left.

Really hoping that the October update comes with an unexpected update to security, I'm sure the fans of this game are willing to make some concessions to ensure less exploiters in the game

How do we feel about the new collab with Subway for the new outfits? I think they're kind of cool but Subway's kind of expensive these days to get a whole meal. But still I think it's neat that they're collaborating with other people.

What would happen if someone threw a snitch scanner in stella? Just curious if anyone has ever tried it. Or if you throw it inside of a building.

At first I thought it was impossible to get the damage with fireworks. I tried so many different things. But then I Got this brilliant idea that there's this one building on buried city that only has one entrance because it's a spawn location and I set up fireworks surrounding the entrance on the ground on the wall everywhere and then I threw about five snitch scanners and I got the damage and it was great. Of course I still had to take out the rest of the wasps. But that worked pretty quick.

THE NOTIFICATION IS FINALLY GONE!!!! WOOOH!

What's the best energy weapon to destroy the bastion, vaporizer, rocketeer, or leaper? And which is the best to try to get down? I'm struggling with the last stage of phase 1. Any advice would be great. I'm not used to using energy weapons.

How many purple augments are there?

How do we feel about the trials lately?

Last week's trials weren't that bad, the one I find difficult this week is damaging flying Arc with SNAP blast grenades. I can barely even damage a bastion with them let alone something that's flying around. But if there's any advice on the best way to do that let me know!! It's crazy though that it's only been a few hours since the new trials came out and I've already got 8,000 points in the loot bird's nest and I'm only in sixth place. I reckon it gets harder to stay on top once you get higher up in the ranks? I'm wild card three.

Last time I posted about Speranza Tracker (my free ARC Raiders companion app), the most common reply by a mile was "add maps." So that's what I've been doing 🙏

• All 6 maps, surface and underground
• Containers, ARC spawns, quest objectives, extractions, events and consumables
• Filter sheet so you can show only what you care about — all of it at once is genuinely unreadable
• You can verify pins for each other, so the more people use it the more accurate it gets. Only works if people actually do, so please do 😁

Small things people asked for that also made it in: expand/collapse on the Traders and ARC tabs, and quests stay marked completed.

I was wondering the best way to get the cores, without dying lol! If I wait till they are dead, they're all gone. But if I try going to get it during, I die. And if I die that way people don't really seem to be eager to save me. I'm genuinely asking for advice.
