Scrappy, a great companion for players, has always played a significant role in the game. Recently, I fed Scrappy a lot of fruit and thoroughly figured out how its new feeding system works. Scrappy has now become an extremely efficient looter; you can even get quite a few powerful items from it.

Below is a detailed explanation of Scrappy feeding mechanism, the corresponding $1 for various fruits, the most worthwhile fruits to feed, and the locations where various fruits can be obtained.

Scrappy Feeding Mechanism

The new feeding function allows you to add fruit to the food queue. You can select any fruit from your inventory and add it to the queue; Scrappy will automatically eat it when you enter a raid.

As long as you enter a raid and stay for at least 6 minutes, the fruit at the top of the queue will be eaten, and you will always get a random item of the corresponding type.

Whether you successfully extract or die, the reward will always trigger as long as you stay for 6 minutes.

Once the fruit is placed in the queue, it doesn't need to be added repeatedly for the next five rounds; the system will automatically consume it sequentially.

You just need to play the game normally and then come back to collect the items found by Scrappy.

Of course, all of this is random. Each type of fruit has a fixed drop rate for items. It's worth noting that, based on my current testing experience, extending the raid time doesn't help increase the drop rate.

It's best to level up Scrappy first to maximize item acquisition efficiency.

Below are the items and resources needed to upgrade Scrappy.

Level 1: None Level 2: 1x Dog Collar Level 3: 3x Lemons, 3x Apricots Level 4: 1x Cat Bed, 6x Prickly Pears, 6x Olives, Level 5 (Max): 3x Very Comfortable Pillows, 12x Mushrooms, 12x Apricots Rewards for Each Fruit

Different fruits correspond to different workshop station materials. They don't drop basic materials; instead, they directly produce advanced materials and even finished products. The rewards for each fruit are detailed below.

Olives

Specifically used in Medical Workshop. They yield medical crafting materials or finished products, such as Durable Cloth, Antiseptic, Great Mullein, ARC Powercell, Tick Pod, etc. They do not provide basic materials like Fabric, Rubber Parts, or Plastic Parts.

Mushrooms

Related to Gear Bench items; they can even directly yield finished equipment. Many players have already obtained rare equipment like Safekeeper from Mushrooms.

Apricots

These yield Gunsmith crafting materials, and with luck, you can directly obtain weapons, including key items for crafting legendary weapons like Queen Reactor and Matriarch Reactor.

Lemons

Used in Explosives Station, primarily producing Explosives materials such as ARC Alloy, Crude Explosives, Battery, and Explosive Compound. With luck, you can also obtain powerful throwables like Wolfpack and Deadline.

Prickly Pears

Used in Utility Station, these can yield Mechanical Components, Ropes, Sensors, and even useful finished items like Photoelectric Cloak and Snap Hook.

Agaves

Specifically produce crafting materials for gun mods and accessories, including the Silencer 3, Kinetic Converter, and Horizontal Grip. Some mods don't even have Blueprints in the game yet can still be obtained from Scrappy, making them extremely valuable.

Fruit Mix

Can only be crafted in-game. The recipe is 1 Lemon + 1 Apricot + 1 Prickly Pear.

While it's supposed to be three fruits for one, this time it's a little different. Scrappy usually gives one fruit for one item, but this time the fruit combination usually gives you two items. And these items can be various ground materials.

In addition to random items, each fruit also provides 5 corresponding basic materials:

Olives Fabric Mushrooms Plastic Parts Prickly Pears Rubber Parts Fruit Mix gives 5 each of Seeds, Plastic Parts, Metal Parts, Chemicals, Fabric, and Rubber Parts

This is one of the reasons why Fruit Mix is ​​so cost-effective.

Most recommended fruits Agave

Can yield rare items that cannot be crafted in-game, such as the Kinetic Converter and Horizontal Grip. With maximum strength and rarity, it's the best choice for feeding to.

Apricots

Stablely produce high-grade Gunsmith materials and even legendary weapon core components, suitable for players seeking powerful weapons.

Prickly Pears are suitable for players lacking Utility items, Lemons are suitable for players who need Explosives, and Mushrooms are more gear-oriented.

Locations for Various Fruits Fruit Baskets: The most stable and efficient source; two baskets always spawn at Stella Montis Cafeteria. Agaves: Primarily spawn in the area around Buried City, and can also be obtained from Fruit Baskets. Apricots, Lemons: Densely wooded areas in Damn Batvely at The Blue Gate. Prickly Pears: Pattern House and the outskirts of Buried City. Mushrooms: Spaceport is currently the best spawn point.

To quickly obtain fruit, prioritize Fruit Baskets; the efficiency is far higher than gathering them individually. These are the new features for feeding Scrappy fruits. Go test them out in the game!

ARC Raiders Flashpoint update is now live, bringing significant changes and many new features. Today, we'll focus on the newly added Close Scrutiny.

This guide will show you how to find Assessor and defeat Vaporizers to obtain rich loot, hoping to provide a better gaming experience.

Close Scrutiny meaning

Close Scrutiny is a brand new map condition in ARC Raiders Flashpoint update, and it's perhaps the most challenging map condition to date. A giant ARC called Assessor and a new flying ARC called Vaporizers appear on the map, ensuring that every mistake will cost you.

Assessor doesn't directly attack the player, but its appearance triggers an unprecedented density of ARC patrols throughout the area. Locked doors will become ineffective, the loot drop rate for regular chests and civilian hotspots will drop significantly, and all reward density will be concentrated around Assessor.

Vaporizers are essentially Queen and Matriarch. Therefore, it's easy to see why Vaporizers are difficult to defeat and extremely annoying.

However, if you're willing to take the challenge, you can obtain a wealth of items, including:

1. Dolabra blueprint (the new energy shotgun) 2. Arc materials 3. Assessor Matrix epic-quality resource (required for High-Gain Antenna project) Assessor

Next, let's see how to find Assessor and obtain $1.

Assessor is a large, three-legged landing platform that appears a few minutes after Close Scrutiny mode begins and continues to descend throughout the raid. You'll likely see them fall from the sky, emitting red beams upon landing to help you track their location.

Quickly approach Assessor; you'll find three containers. You can follow the path upwards, open them, and loot them. If platform hasn't unfolded yet, you'll need to wait for it to unfold before you can open it.

Intruding into Assessor will trigger an alarm, alerting nearby ARCs and spawning more enemies, including Vaporizers. Other players will also hear the alarm and know you're trying to collect items.

Assessor is heavily guarded, so you can choose to approach stealthily or confront it head-on. Here are some methods I recommend to help you loot:

1. Use Photoelectric Cloak for infiltration and extraction. 2. Throw smoke grenades while breaching containers to avoid being tracked by ARCs. 3. Bring friends and powerful gear, such as Hullcrackers and Wolfpacks, to kill Vaporizers and other spawned ARCs. Vaporizers

Vaporizers are a bit tough, but not impossible to deal with. Below are three ways to deal with these ARCs.

First, you can choose to bring Renegade, Anvil, or Wolfpacks, because there's no easy way to defeat them. You can't expect to kill them instantly by throwing a Grenade, since they have a shield like Matriarch. After you throw a Grenade, they will immediately deploy their shield.

Vaporizers have two thrusters on each side of their front and two on each side of their back, for a total of eight thrusters. Your most important task is to focus your firepower on these thrusters.

Vaporizers not only have shields similar to Matriarch, but their attack method is also similar to her laser attack. Vaporizer's attack lasts for five or six seconds. If you are exposed to its attack range during this time, you're basically done for, as its damage is extremely high.

Renegade

It takes about four, or five bullets from Renegade to take down one thruster. There are thrusters in every corner of ARC, which you need to destroy one by one. After destroying two thrusters, it will get stuck and start making strange movements.

After destroying two thrusters on each side, it will either fall to the ground or fly up in a very strange way, likely dying after a few falls, making it easy to take down. This process takes about 20-30 bullets.

Anvil

The most important thing when dealing with Vaporizers is to have cover; you can't fight them in open areas. Shoot it with Anvil; a shield will rise around ARC. After it disappears, continue attacking with Anvil. Anvil deals slightly more damage than Renegade, although its rate of fire is slightly slower, allowing you to destroy thrusters faster with fewer bullets.

It takes about three or four shots from Anvil to take down a Thruster. As mentioned before, after taking down two, Vaporizers will start making strange movements, flying around. This is your chance to attack and eliminate them.

Wolfpacks

Next, we'll explain how to use Wolfpacks to defeat Vaporizers and obtain rewards. To effectively utilize Wolfpacks, we need to maintain a certain distance from Vaporizers, approximately 100 meters, as Wolfpacks' maximum aiming radius is 100 meters.

It's recommended that you first attack ARC with Seeker Grenades. You'll see its shield appear. Then wait about 10-15 seconds before throwing Wolfpacks. Remember, you must wait for the shield to disappear before using Wolfpacks, as the shield needs to recharge, and this is the best opportunity.

This concludes the article on ARC Raiders Close Scrutiny. If you have any better methods, please feel free to add them.

Many of you have probably been following the news about ARC Raider 1.22.0 Flashpoint patch update, which is truly exciting. Let's dive right in and learn everything about this update. Here's a sneak peek: you'll see revamped gear, ARC, skins, and the combat system, bringing you a completely new experience.

Before you try it out, if you're expecting certain fixes to meet your expectations, don't miss any opportunity to learn more.

If you still have questions about this patch update after trying it out, feel free to leave them in this guide.

New Item

Upon entering the game, you'll see a new item called Sturdy Base. The changes to this item aren't particularly groundbreaking. Besides displaying your rewards, you can also obtain considerable rewards and items, such as ARC Alloy, ARC Flex Rubber, and ARC Performance Steel, giving you an advantage beyond just weapon equipment.

Feeding Scrappy

Here in Workshop. Scrappy has undergone significant changes. A Collection Box has been added to the area, containing records of the rewards triggered after feeding Scrappy. So, actively feed it and obtain the parts you need.

Different feeds will provide different feeding rewards:

Olives: Basic new fabric Apricots: Basic metal parts Lemons: Chemicals Prickly pears: Rubber parts Mushrooms: Plastic parts Agave: Assorted Seeds Fruit mix: Everything New Skins

Shift your focus to the shop. Many new skins await your visit. First, check out ARC Raider Wasp Hunter Set, priced at $19.99. First, let's look at ARC Raider Wasp Hunter Set, priced at $19.99. In addition to being able to change the appearance of colors to meet your different matching needs, you can also do whatever you want with the parts inside this set, such as Helmet and Tech parts. The flexibility is far greater than you expect.

In terms of details, the detachable mask, shoulder pad, and sleeves with built-in cables are all highly customizable. Adding the red and white variant, Helmet, and Thrust Hammer, Wasp Hunter Set totals 2,400 Raider tokens, making it a great value compared to its actual price.

Next, let's look at Brigade Set. If you already have Electrician Backpack, then you have no reason to refuse to buy this set. You can purchase it directly at the super low price of 900 Raider tokens and then have the color variant.

The key update to this set is the skin. You can freely choose from blue and white, white, black and gold, and red, black and green color schemes. The helmet components don't restrict your choices. There's also a Hip Bag and a Tech Bag that can be removed, long pants can be turned into shorts, and the color of the mask will change over time.

New Weapons and New Enemies

New weapons include Canto and Dabra. Canto is a fully automatic submachine gun. Dabra, as an energy shotgun, will likely be of gold quality. These weapons are all quite powerful, and it would be even better if they were easier to obtain. Focus on acquiring $1 to craft weapons.

While upgrading your weapons, keep an eye on your new opponent. Vaporizers have become part of ARC enemy. Its highlight is that it releases a laser powerful enough to vaporize you. However, its appearance is also full of technology and fashion sense.

Keys and Loot

The most noteworthy change in this patch is the increased quality of loot obtained from all locked rooms. The increase in value depends on the key color. It's clear that player feedback has been considered. The implementation of this suggestion allowed things to continue on a positive trajectory.

Generally, if you have purple keys, you'll get the most loot compared to other key colors, followed by blue keys and then green keys. This will greatly improve your key utilization, carrying, and storage.

Crafting System and Balance Adjustments

Additionally, there are some minor optimizations, improving ARC Raider crafting system and adding some hidden items to the console. Furthermore, if you want to create a Bobcat, clicking on “acquire resources” will display a detailed list of the materials you will need, allowing you to prepare accordingly.

This balance adjustment primarily strengthens Rocketeers. They now take less collision damage and are no longer immediately destroyed after being stunned. Firefly Burner has been replaced with a Canister, so it will spew fire when shot, potentially proving useful as a fire torch.

Map Related

The new map state, Close Scrutiny, has also been introduced. At this point, the locked doors are no longer there, and the overall value of loot in the area has been reduced, while the number of arc loots has increased. This makes your activities more dangerous, so stay careful and vigilant.

There are also several map changes. A quick look reveals that the number of Sentinel spawn points on Dam Battlegrounds has increased. The areas in Buried City that previously caused lag are no longer present. Leapers, Bombardiers, Bastions, and Rocketeers are also more prevalent.

ARC Raider 1.22.0 Flashpoint patch has continuously optimized many details and addressed many issues. In addition to covering the core content in this guide, there are other minor optimizations waiting for you to discover.

This week I'm bringing you more news. First, ARC Raiders is launching a new week of Trials, starting on March 30th and ending on April 5th.

Just a reminder, the official Trials release time is now Sunday, and will continue weekly. This event is particularly interesting because there are more searchable items, meaning some players will achieve very, very high scores.

Secondly, I'll discuss some current issues players face in the game and make some new predictions for future ARC Raiders content.

New weekly Trials

In this week's Trials, players must scavenge for resources on rooftops and deep in tunnels while fending off the ever-growing Shredder. I'll now explain this week's Trials in detail to help you get started.

The first Trial is Search First Wave husks, which is very simple. Each search of a First Wave husk earns 300 points, doubled to 600 points during the main map event. If you want to get a high score, you might need to go to Dam Battlegrounds to find Electromagnetic Storm. This is currently the case, but it may change in future Flashpoint updates, so please keep an eye out for changes.

Next, let's look at Deal damage to Shredders trial. Simply put, you get points for dealing damage to Shredders. This trial isn't anything special, but it will appear in Tuesday's Flashpoint update. I suggest waiting until Tuesday's update to try it, because Shredders will be roaming more areas of the map then, along with flying ARC, allowing you to deal damage to more ARC.

Meanwhile, you can choose to eliminate Rocketeers in Blue Gate Map, as Rocketeers may score higher than any other enemy. They appear in pairs and have more spawn points on Blue Gate Map.

Next, we'll scavenge for supplies in the tunnels. You can enter directly from the regular Blue Gate passage without waiting for the tunnel to fully open. Some players go naked into the tunnels without any $1, looting everything they can.

While this method has been criticized by other players, it's undeniably clever. All you have to do is go down and collect as many containers as possible, even if they've already been opened; you can still get points from them. Then, you can loot Loot Bird's Nests, again getting points even if others have already looted them.

This usually means a high maximum score for this Trial, as there's a lot of loot, and many loot hideouts.

Therefore, to get a relatively good score this week, you don't need to focus on killing specific ARC, but rather on easier, more rewarding missions. Of course, you also need to be wary of ARC and Shredders.

New ARC confirmed

We've been speculating that Shredders aren't the only content in Flashpoint update; there will also be new ARC. This speculation was confirmed in a recent official trailer; a new ARC threat has indeed appeared, exactly as we suspected. Many are eagerly anticipating what it will ultimately look like after the update!

Player team matchmaking issues

Recently, players have encountered some issues in matchmaking mode. If you have a regular team and play together regularly, the problems might not be as severe. However, if you choose to matchmaking in a team, you might encounter some trouble from the start. First, few people carry powerful weapons in matchmaking mode, as others can easily eliminate you. Second, some players maliciously ruin the game experience for others in ARC Raiders.

I strongly recommend trying solo mode. Your chances of winning are likely to be much higher in this mode. The current matchmaking situation is truly terrible. I've seen many video clips of people using poison gas or fire attacks to kill other players they've matched with, which is absolutely unacceptable.

I don't know why some people do this, or why they can do it, but this happens quite frequently. There are discussions about this all over Reddit now, and hopefully, the developers will find a way to stop this from happening.

ARC Raiders has now reached a stable player base, with core players currently numbering between 100,000 and 150,000. I don't think this number will drop further, but it also shouldn't rise any higher. The developers should pay more attention to the issues occurring in the game and provide a better player experience.

New information

Finally, let's talk about the latest news. ARC Raiders may release three new skins and an Orbital Strikes mission. The three new skins were detailed in a previous Flashpoint update article, so I won't go into detail here.

Orbital Strikes mission is still in the speculation stage, but it's likely that Stella Montis will host a power outage-themed event. The facility's generator will malfunction, and lights and doors throughout Stella Montis will randomly stop working.

Closed doors will need to be forced open and won't close again until power is restored. Distribution boxes and other electronic maintenance panels will randomly fire ARC like Storms lightning. Some rooms will periodically become inaccessible due to unstable electrical explosions, among other things. These ideas are quite ingenious, but how they will be implemented remains to be seen and will depend on future official announcements.

This concludes the latest information about ARC Raiders. We will update this article as soon as any further news emerges. We hope this helps you better understand the game content and any issues that have arisen.

Be Careful and Attentive

In Pickup version of Solo Milestone event, you earn points by landing on spaces marked with event markers. However, these markers are placed randomly, and their positions may change each time you land on them.

Pickup event in Monopoly GO is perhaps the simplest of Solo Milestone events. However, maximizing your score requires not only careful planning but also a bit of luck.

The best scoring opportunities usually appear in areas where a cluster of scoring tiles is located. However, if you want to score more points, you can choose to find pickup tiles near the rails, which increases your chances of getting a favorable result when rolling a high number.

In addition, you can pay more attention to the markers around the chance tile and shield tile; these may be the high-multiplier opportunities you've been waiting for.

2. Stay on Pickup Tiles

When you stay on a pickup tile, the pieces will move to different positions, and the board is constantly changing. Paying close attention to these changes can reduce wasted dice rolls. If pickup tokens are scattered, you can wait until you land on a few individual pickup tiles, hoping for better opportunities later.

3. Maximizing Dices Value

If you want to maximize the value of your rolls, never use the auto-roll feature during the game. While not using this feature will indeed take longer, you can save dice and get higher scores by choosing to use high-multiplier dice in specific areas of the board.

However, be aware that even if you have many scoring tiles in front of you, it doesn't mean you'll definitely land on them, so never use all your dice rolls at once.

This concludes this guide on Monopoly Go Turbo Tune-Up. We hope it helps you have a better gaming experience.

Rusted Tools occupy a delicate position in Arc Raiders. They are crucial to gameplay and the overall experience, serving as key items from the early to mid-game, but acquiring them is not straightforward.

These mechanical components each weigh 2 kilograms, and each slot can stack three components. They are the key tools for upgrading Gunsmith's Workshop from level one to level two.

I will summarize some key points from my experience acquiring Rusted Tools in Arc Raiders, including how to efficiently obtain, farm, and use them, as well as the best maps, optimal farming locations, and routes to obtain more Rusted Tools during each combat.

1. Respawn Locations

Arc Raiders map is divided into four distinct themed areas: Mechanical, Electronic, Technological, and Old World. Your HUD will only display the current area's label when you enter it.

You can only obtain Rusted Tools from the loot pools in Mechanical area.

Since the spawn points for Rusted Tools are random, you need to remember the locations of multiple Mechanical areas. Simultaneously, you need to plan a route connecting multiple mechanical spawn points. This allows you to efficiently acquire more Rusted Tools in a shorter time.

Even if you open empty chests during your search, you'll still gain experience points. Therefore, open as many chests as you can find as possible to increase your experience while acquiring Rusted Tools.

Opening a chest takes a few seconds, during which you will be unable to attack or defend. Opening a chest also makes noise, so you need to ensure your safety while opening chests to prevent nearby hostile players or ARC patrols from hearing the noise, discovering you, and posing a threat.

To address this, you can use binoculars to remotely observe the spawn points before opening chests, but this doesn't guarantee complete coverage. Therefore, you can carry some $1, such as Photoelectric Cloak, to conceal yourself from ARC detection, greatly increasing your safety while opening chests.

2. Equipment Strategy

You can choose two equipment strategies when acquiring Rusted Tools.

The first is the free equipment strategy.

The first strategy involves arriving at Mechanical area with a limited-capacity backpack and basic equipment, quickly collecting Rusted Tools if possible, and then safely evacuating through the nearest raider hatch or silent exit. This strategy incurs no losses even if the evacuation fails, but the security and rewards are minimal.

The second strategy is customized equipment.

This involves carrying some advanced equipment, such as a sturdy shield for cover (e.g., Heavy Shield), and weapons with high penetration against machine enemies (e.g., Hullcracker IV and Bettina IV).

Fighting ARCs can have a ripple effect; one engagement will attract more ARC patrols, making it essential to carry targeted weapons with high penetration.

Combined with Photoelectric Cloak I mentioned above, it not only avoids unnecessary combat but also provides a balance of high defense, high attack, and high concealment. This reduces the risk of acquiring Rusted Tools and significantly increases the return on investment.

It's worth noting that it's best to keep a set of Rusted Tools or other high-value materials in your safe pocket. This way, even if your extraction fails, the items you obtained from your safe pocket won't disappear.

3. Extraction Points and Evacuation Strategy

After acquiring Rusted Tools, if you want to take them with you, you need to safely evacuate from the extraction point. The map provides extraction methods with different risk levels. I will list two different extraction strategies for your reference.

First, Raider Hatch Strategy

If you are carrying high-level equipment and valuable items, this extraction method is the preferred choice. You only need to obtain a Raider Hatch Key through crafting, random drops, or from the vendor Shani in Speranza.

This allows you to extract safely and silently.

The second strategy is the standard extraction strategy.

A standard extraction point, once triggered, will emit a piercing alarm, revealing your location and attracting a large number of ARC patrols and nearby hostile players. Therefore, beforehand, you need to clear all ARC patrols stationed near the extraction point and discuss firefight and defensive tactics with your teammates.

However, if you arrive at the standard extraction point early, you can also choose to set traps to ambush other hostile players who arrive after completing the above preparations.

Besides ending the match with gunfights, you can also negotiate with other solo players, perhaps forming an alliance to fight against ARC patrols together. But remember, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests; don't completely trust others.

Finally, remember to put Rusted Tools you collect into your safe pocket.

4. Workshop Upgrade

The main purpose of Rusted Tools is to upgrade Gunsmith Workshop to level 2. You need to collect 3 Rusted Tools in Mechanical Area. Also, don't forget you need to collect 5 Mechanical Components and 8 Wasp Drivers.

Before setting off, don't forget to check your inventory for any missing items and quantities.

For each Rusted Tool you find, you have three options: sell it to a merchant for 1,000 Coins, recycle it at your base, or dismantle it in a raid.

However, if you don't urgently need currency, it's best to recycle Rusted Tools at your base for maximum benefit. Since Rusted Tools are progress currency, you can use any remaining Rusted Tools to craft other needed items after upgrading your Gunsmithing skill.

After each match, Scrappy the Rooster will give you free materials, so check what you've gained before selling or recycling tools.

5. Stash Management

Before collecting Rusted Tools, consider the weight of your weapons, equipment, and other materials. A stack of Rusted Tools weighs 6 kg. Your default inventory in Speranza has 64 slots, each holding three Rusted Tools (one stack).

Therefore, you need to calculate your warehouse capacity before heading to the mechanical area. If you have enough materials, you can also choose to buy more warehouse slots. This is crucial to how many items and materials you can bring out, not only when collecting Rusted Tools.

The above is a summary of my experience in acquiring Rusted Tools, and I hope it's helpful to you. My biggest takeaway is that you reap what you sow. You can refer to this according to your own needs.

Ranking Rewards

Let's start with the game rewards, which you'll find most interesting. The difference between team and individual competitions is not only in the number of participants, but also in the fact that four individual players compete against each other, and Monopoly Go Stickers Packs they ultimately receive are also different. The gameplay remains the same.

Yellow Sticker Pack Item Usage

In racing events, to increase race speed, the game provides additional power-ups, such as the previously seen Lucky Rocket Booster and Overload Brake. Fortunately, the change in event theme does not alter the item mechanics, reducing confusion.

Ball and Chain skill has a relatively precise application; The use of Ball and Chain is relatively precise. It can be applied to a specific player you select, causing their throws to be reduced by half after being bound to the chain, essentially imposing a braking effect on the opponent. The effect won't stop until the opponent breaks free. Any team is within range as long as you want to use it.

Lucky Rockets are also a common sight in regular race events and are your old partner. Their existence is relatively valuable to you due to their usage characteristics, so find the best time to unleash their full potential. Using items wisely is part of your winning strategy.

Team Springs are obtained as milestone rewards in races. The number collected is significantly different from the rockets above, allowing you to collect a large number. Their function is to charge your Spring. Moving on the track also charges it, greatly improving overall efficiency.

Once a Team Spring is fully charged, it also grants an extra free use of the dice launcher, although only once, but you'll receive a random Multiplier apply. Furthermore, during team competitions, all members of the team can enjoy this bonus. After it's over, you are allowed to continue to recharge your Spring knowledge.

Gameplay

For the limited-time collaboration event, it largely follows the original racing game arcade format. If your goal is Pompompurin Style Token, then participating in team races is the only option. Don't worry, once you understand team battles, you'll master solo battles. The basic strategy is to collect flags, compete against other players or teams, and achieve the highest score to win.

First, use Team Up button on the screen to form or join a team within the game's time limit. This will earn you $1. Note that the deadline to leave a team is before the first match begins. After that, you can simply wait for matchmaking. The game is also more user-friendly, preventing players or teams with significantly different net worths from being matched together.

Next, the exciting competition begins. There are three matches per day. The finals are particularly noteworthy. The allure of double medals promises a fierce battle that will directly impact your team's final ranking.

As the event progresses, collecting flags should become an integral part of your routine, as it's an essential tool for earning points. Rolling the dice on the board also works. The points earned power your car on the track, allowing you to complete more laps. In the initial stage, the selected multiplier, combined with Big Dice Popper, will cause the corresponding movement distance to be multiplied.

1, 2, 5, and 10 laps are the milestones in your race. Once you complete them, the corresponding lap milestone rewards await you. The determined rankings will award varying numbers of medals. Medals will also contribute to the points system, which will be used to determine the final rankings for the awards.

The key to victory is to stay vigilant, as racer events can change in an instant. Keep an eye on the race's end time, strategically save your flags, and maintain a full-on sprint towards the finish line. Similarly, we should try to deplete more of our opponent's flags, putting them at a disadvantage in the next match. Prepare for your decisive moment!

Monopoly Go brings racer events to you in the form of Hello Kitty Racers. If you're interested, take action!

ARC Raiders continues to bring players new gameplay experiences and insights with each update. This game, primarily focused on shooting and extraction, has launched a new seasonal event, mainly adjusting resource balance and also buffing enemies.

Each ARC Raiders update brings new challenges and opportunities, but player feedback on these updates can easily spark significant conflicts. Below is a breakdown of ARC Raiders update content, player requests, and subsequent developer updates.

Introduction

The new event update largely follows this year's update roadmap, meeting player expectations. Shrouded Sky is the name of this update, and players can easily guess from the name that it will present significant environmental challenges.

Following the usual practice of seasonal events, Shrouded Sky creates environmental conditions unlike any before. The changes to the raid gameplay have many players eager to try their hand at the new map.

Hurricane map conditions introduce dust and debris into the air, affecting players' offense and defense. For example, strong winds often leave players overwhelmed in crisis situations.

On the other hand, sudden environmental chaos can also present an excellent opportunity to ambush enemies, maximizing damage while minimizing impact for a surprising and unexpected effect.

Open terrain allows hurricanes to rage more freely, increasing the difficulty of survival. Extreme weather and interference from ARC machines also place higher demands on players.

Update - Enemy and Character Appearance

The update to ARC machines introduces two new ARC enemy variants. Breaking with established patterns, these new enemy variants alter combat strategies, such as in multi-location battles. To achieve victory, players are forced to change their strategies and step outside their comfort zones.

Besides these significant changes that force players to rethink their winning tactics. Other changes worth noting for players include changes to character appearance. Players can now equip various facial hair options.

Common hairs include stubble and beards, which undoubtedly add a fun element to otherwise monotonous battles and are a small way to showcase one's unique style. This also adds richness and diversity to Raiders' looting in Rust Belt.

Enhancement - Expedition

In ARC Raiders updates, players can clearly feel the developers' increasing emphasis on Expedition system, its importance self-evident. Initially, Expedition system was an experimental mechanism for recording progress.

Now, Expedition system is evolving into a more mature reputation system. Completing projects and objectives becomes the player's task; successfully completing a series unlocks personal milestones.

After completing an Expedition, the player's game progress is complete. They can choose to rewind and reset certain points, while also receiving permanent bonuses to better prepare for the next Expedition.

The rewards for completing Expeditions are quite substantial. Players can earn $1, receive character bonuses, increase warehouse capacity, and improve resource utilization. Throughout the year's update roadmap, players will find that Expedition system will be released in multiple cycles.

This also reflects that Expedition system may become a flagship feature of ARC Raiders, serving as one of its iconic elements. The highly distinctive Expedition system continuously satisfies players' curiosity.

Community - Mushroom Wars

Besides the official new initiatives that have generated considerable discussion among players, some new hot topics have emerged in the games community, such as Mushroom Wars, which initially raises questions.

Regarding Mushroom Wars, mushrooms specifically refers to the organic resources needed for player exploration, which are generally very rare. However, as exploration progresses, players learn that resource spawn points are limited.

Waiting patiently at spawn points to obtain more resources has become a consensus among most players. Therefore, frequent battles erupt near spawn points, even those often located in remote and less-visited areas of the map.

This frequent warfare transforms resource acquisition into a predatory activity, significantly increasing the danger of the areas and making players vulnerable to death. This player-driven change in game mechanics is part of ARC Raiders' unique appeal.

Controversy

Learning from the previous update, many players discovered a bug in the blueprint system. By employing specific techniques to farm chests at specific locations on the blueprints, players could obtain substantial amounts of weapons and loot.

This latest map update, however, patched the drop rate of resources, especially ARC Raiders blueprints. An excessively high blueprint drop rate is detrimental to gameplay.

Since this has negatively impacted player experience, to mitigate player frustration, developer Embark continues by increasing the probability of obtaining high-level crafting materials, thus reducing the negative impact of decreasing blueprint availability.

Every new game update inevitably draws criticism from a large player base, with a core focus on whether it protects their interests. Some players believe it's extremely beneficial for the long-term development of ARC Raiders. Others object, arguing that the acquisition speed of gear doesn't significantly improve.

Expectations

The latest update reveals that the next update will be Flashpoint. Flashpoint is expected to launch around the next phase of Escalation content cycle. While the developers haven't provided detailed information, players can generally infer from past updates that the map environment will probably change.

The biggest anticipated update for ARC Raiders is Rift Tide, expected to make a strong late-game appearance. The new environment will move away from Rust Belt, making exploring coastal biomes a new focus. The addition of a large ARC boss enemy will present players with even greater challenges.

The above summarizes the player's reactions to this update. Gathered here because of our love for ARC Raiders, please look forward to the next update!
