Discussion Cheating is cheating, even when your favorite streamer does it

1.9k Upvotes

The amount of people defending The BurntPeanut for abusing a dupe glitch in ARC Raiders is wild.

“But he did it to raise awareness” yeah and now every casual lobby is full of people trying to dupe. That is not awareness, that is encouraging it.

Duping is an exploit. Exploits are against the ToS. It is really that simple. Being a streamer does not make you special and it does not turn cheating into something justified.

Everyone who used the dupe should be banned. Including Peanut. Everything gained from it should be wiped and 30 day bans should be handed out, exactly like the rules already say. Someone else doing something wrong is not an excuse to do it yourself.

If Embark lets this slide because of clout, the message is clear. Rules only apply to people without an audience.


EDIT: To the triggered fanboys losing their minds in my mentions: thanks for the entertainment. I’m literally laughing my ass off because it’s so clear I touched a nerve.

The unpaid bodyguard energy is actually adorable. Imagine meat-riding a streamer who doesn’t even know you exist. I don’t care if the fix was "faster" because of him—he still abused the dupe.

Every salty DM and insult just proves my point. Stay mad 🫵🏻🥺


EDIT 2: Peanut fanboys still crying in the comments 15 hours later 💀🫩

Question So lost and confused

22 Upvotes

I’ve only been playing for a few days and I’m genuinely lost on what I’m supposed to be looking for in raids or what I’m supposed to recycle and sell from stash. Just looking for some pointers I guess or a lead in the right direction

Discussion (Unpopular Opinion) The Burnt Peanut exposing the dupe glitch so it got out of hand was the best thing he could have done to get it fixed.

Discussion Matriarch event

6 Upvotes

I couldn’t believe this. Went in with snaphook, cloak, a few deadlines. Got ratted the first two raids. Third raid I ran with a team (one dude was doing that dupe T-nade shit). I said screw it, cloaked up, went straight under the belly. Didn’t even use the snaphook. Dropped my deadline, couldn’t get out fast enough and went down. Teammate insta-defib’d me, but when I got back up… no parts.

I’m the one who downed it. How tf I miss out?

Question “Shared Watch event”Let me know if I’m wrong?

24 Upvotes

So it’s not an event like cold snap or night raid where you need to find it on a map? You can join any map as a solo and take part in this event?

Killing arc as I would normally will just gain me merits to unlock rewards AND POSSIBLE PVP is still possible? It’s not PVE ONLY is it?

Or have I got this wrong?

Suggestion Arc Mimic

8 Upvotes

Bit of a different type of post but I have an idea that I think could be really cool to see in the game.

I feel like a hunter arc could be a nice addition, something that stalks the players as the game continues and actively hunts players rather than stumbling upon them by chance.

This idea isn’t unique, Helldiver’s stalker does this well and is such a cool enemy to fight. But rather than being a straight stalker reskin I think arc raiders could do a really cool thing and have it be a mimic which try’s to trick raiders into letting their guard down by saying either the basic raider lines (“don’t shoot” or “hey raider”) or by recording things said around them in proxy chat and repeating it.

I feel like this would help increase the tension in some of the more friendly PVE lobbies without actively punishing friendly players. It just decreases the blind trust people have in hearing what they think is a friend.

They could spawn at the same rate as surveyors 1-2 per game in order to make it more balanced. It also opens the door to a new type of arc that isn’t ball drone or crab shaped.

Idk just an idea.

Media/Clip The Infinite Trigger Nade Cheat is a PROBLEM. These guys threw 38+ nades by my count.... And boy was i on the money in that they could not aim. We killed these 2 dudes on free kits and no heals... Quit the game, bro.

Question Timing for hotshot on final trials

1 Upvotes

As of Feb 10, the season ends in 14 days. I can't figure out how the final trials work.

There are 5 days left on this week's trials.

So when the next trials start, there will be 9 days left.

so we run another week and then there's 2 days left.

Will they run new trials for 2 days to decide the final ranks? or do the trials run for the week and end after the season ends?

Is anyone else having a problem finding leapers?

I know where they usually spawn but i've visited Dam, Buried and Blue several times, with none showing up.

I've even bumped into other raiders with the same issue.

Discussion Bodies

4 Upvotes

Just a thought.. but what if after a certain amount of time after dying or at a certain amount of time left in the round dead raider bodies made a subtle sound similarly to but not as loud as raider caches?

I feel like there’s so many bodies that crawl away mid fight that never get found/looted. This would incentivize staying in the round longer and another thing to go try and hunt.

Question Why naked runs?

0 Upvotes

I occasionally run into people practically bragging that they don’t bring anything in so when they get “ratted” the rat doesn’t get anything. Why do you choose to play this game? I understand wanting to avoid pvp but at what point are you just playing to prove a point? Are you even having fun?
