A player presents the community of ARC Raiders with an effective trick that is supposed to spread not only good vibes but also ensures that one cannot become a clip of a streamer, as they are quickly driven away by a simple idea.
What trick is the Raider reporting? The player nicsaweiner reports to the ARC Raiders community on Reddit that he has discovered a trick that has improved his gaming experience in various ways. He does not need any specific items in the game, no bugs, no exploits, no – he simply turns on his microphone and lets music play.
Since he started using this method, he has only been taken out by a rat (a sneaky player) once, but was then rescued by another player with whom he cooperated until the end.
He has various theories on how the music in his voice channel makes him less attractive to attacks from enemy players. Additionally, he recognizes another advantage that keeps him safe from a particularly bothersome group of players.
Attracts the right players, drives away the annoying
Why is the music so effective? The player has 3 theories as to why the music could greatly improve his game experience:
- First: He makes himself as vulnerable as possible. Instead of acting quietly and unnoticed, the music announces his approach from afar. When he also stows away his weapon as soon as he is seen by another Raider, he poses almost no threat. For this reason, other players often respond friendly as well.
- Second: He spreads a positive vibe by choosing popular songs that many people know and like. He reports that many other Raiders he encounters immediately start dancing with emotes or responding in a friendly manner.
- Third: The music drives away streamers. Anyone who is live on Twitch and hears him coming would quickly flee to avoid a copyright infringement. “I can’t become a clip if that clip gets reported for copyright infringement,” the player explains.
How does the community find this trick? The ARC Raiders community on Reddit rewards the idea and willingness to share it with over 4,000 upvotes. Especially the trick to keep streamers at bay excites players the most, as can be seen from the most upvoted response by six7n: “Playing music to keep streamers away is great! Haha”
But also spreading a good vibe through music is a good way for many players not only to reach their goal unharmed. Often, their harmless behavior even results in a reward, as MehenstainMeh reports: “I occasionally go out with just a flute to play the bard for people. Hey, even on Blue Gate, I got tips for that!”
Of course, music is not an absolute guarantee for a friendly player, as Maxo996 warns: “I was slaughtered last night by someone spamming ‘Party in the USA’ by Miley Cyrus on Stella Montis.”
Likewise, the music does not guarantee that streamers will stay away, as they can also turn off the in-game voice chat, for example. However, since ARC Raiders is characterized, among other things, by interactions between players, including smaller roleplay sequences, many players and streamers have the voice chat turned on by default.
ARC Raiders offers players the chance to play completely pacifist or team-oriented, but also to plan sneaky raids. Both behaviors are widespread but are valued differently by the community. Among the readers of MeinMMO, there are also different types of players. A survey, however, shows that one can be happy when one encounters them in the game: MeinMMO readers are among the friendliest players in ARC Raiders, only 4% will stab you in the back at the first opportunity
