ARC RAIDERS First Gameplay – Panic and a Pickaxe

Do you have an idea of a topic you would like me to cover next? Let me know via this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA... In this video I play ARC Raiders for the very first time - no practice run, no warm-up, just raw gameplay, mild overconfidence, and a pickaxe where a gun should have been. After spending ten days doing a full lore deep dive into ARC Raiders, I decided it was finally time to test whether knowledge actually translates into survival. It does not. For clarity, I am a complete BEGINNER at this. Extraction shooters are not my natural habitat. I normally live in enormous open-world RPGs where I can wander into a forest for three hours because a rock looks narratively significant. I like controlling the pace. I like over-preparing. I like saving frequently and pretending my mistakes never happened. ARC Raiders does not allow that. So yes, this is ARC Raiders BEGINNER GAMEPLAY in the truest sense. I am learning in real time. Often the hard way. Occasionally via explosion. If you’re looking for elite tactical mastery, you may wish to manage expectations. If you’re looking for honest first impressions, permadeath panic, chaotic looting, accidental explosions, questionable squadmates, and one deeply unnecessary attempt to beat a Bastion to death...you’re in the right place.

Therapy pending. Round two pending. ARC Raiders definitely pending. ‪@ARCRaidersGame‬ #arcraiders #arcraidersgameplay #arcraidersclips #arcraidersfunnymoments #gaming #gamergirl AJM Nerdcore is represented by Digital Fox Talent.
