Synopsis:

We are suffering through Patch 9.3.0 so you don't have to. Toxic and Nicky break down Behavior’s latest attempt to bribe Killers with Bloodpoints to stop tunneling (spoiler: it won't work) and the baffling decision to buff The Skull Merchant's "Chess Match" gameplay. We analyze the rollback of the pallet density changes, the new resolve bar mechanics, and why the "anti-camp" meter is just a suggestion.

Lore & Chaos:

Nicky reveals a near-death experience in Nipomo, California involving Earl Grey’s West Coast division, a fake Egyptian movie set, and why Victor had to ride in the trunk to keep his skin moist.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Toxic Empire is expanding. We are officially announcing "Camping the Extract," our dedicated Arc Raiders podcast. We are leaving honor at the door. We are rats. We are camping the extraction points. If you are a Topside Sheriff or a PvE purist, prepare to get griefed.
