Yo guys, long list ahead with QOL/UX feedback. If the post gains traction maybe embark could notice it and the game could get much needed improvements to QOL/UX. Take a look:


- Resolution scale is only up to 100%, let us go over 100% (200% from 1080p gets us a much cleaner image while sacrificing some frames)
- Awful UX experience: you have two loadouts - custom and free. Imagine you gear up on your custom loadout, but then go into the raid with a free loadout and then come back with loot. Your custom loadout gets fully replaced and your items that you had in your custom one are back in your stash and you are forced to gear up again. **Why don’t we have two separate tabs for each loadout?** Here is how you do it: grey out the free loadout once all the items from it are emptied and don’t let players start a free loadout raid until they empty that loadout. With this your “main” loadout won’t be emptied each time you queue a free one
- No "Toggle" ADS, there is only hold
- No incremental (0.1 0.2 0.3) options to adjust crosshair parameters
- No way to only have a "dot" as a crosshair (because the game doesn’t have an option to set the lines setting to 0, it starts from 1)
- No way to split items into NOT a half, but anything else (44 to a 43 item split is not possible for example)
- Let us make the Q-wheel into a “press” action instead of only “hold”
- Let us make the emote-wheel into a “press” action instead of only “hold”
- No way to adjust the "offset" of the lines in the crosshair
- No separate fps limit setting for main menu and in-game (It’s annoying to listen your fans blasting in the main menu when you don’t really need 200+ fps there)
- If this isn’t a thing: separate sliders for music for in-game and main menu
- No way to enable dialogue ONLY for emotes and disable for the rest (for example I want to only have my character speak when I emote, because other strangers hear that in raids, while pinging forces my character to speak, which is not as necessary)
- Let us adjust dialogue volume in the main menu (so that trader voicelines could be adjusted)
- Seemingly no way to hide the “legend” and the “quests” on the map
- The increased weight that you get with backpack attachments is not reflected while you hover over that attachment (for example it shows you that there are more slots for pockets/backpack/etc)
- Add the trader pictures to each traders select button on the trader select screen. Simply would make it easier to remember and identify which trader is which button, why should we read the text each time? Makes life easier
- Let us input the items into our hideout for upgrading benches not only when we have ALL the items for the upgrade (if you have 3/5 items for the upgrade, you could put the items inside and not have them stay in your stash)
- Make the trader icons bigger on the trader screen (once you select a trader - there is a trader list on the left so u don’t have to switch too many times). They are simply too small lmao
- The pockets apparently have keybinds by default (KB numbers 3/4/5/6/etc) that you can ONLY press once you open the Q-wheel. That must be available outside of the Q-wheel too, just unnecessary opening of a menu for 0.05s each time just to press a number. Also let us rebind them, why have keybinds in a game that you can’t rebind?
- No way to seamlessly switch to a specific pocket item in the Q slot without having to pull the item out through the Q wheel (the point above)
- There need to be indicators on the icon of weapons in the backpack (not equipped ones) to show which attachment they have (or which attachment slot is taken), currently there is no way to know that a weapon in any backpack actually has attachments or which ones it has until you equip it on your person (only thing is visually on the icon - but that’s not good enough, the icons are way too small for a weapon to be readable easily and the same size of everything else)
- There must be a way to take out all attachments/individual attachments off a gun that’s in a backpack and not equipped. I found myself having to equip a weapon to actually take out attachments, that is pretty horrible UX, unless there was a way to do it through some menus. In EFT you could double click on a weapon and open a big window with all attachments listed in their designated slots with a 3d model of the gun where you could take out individual attachments. Arc Raiders needs something like this
- The melee that gets pulled out when you breach something should automatically be holstered after finishing the breaching. It’s slightly annoying to constantly switch back to your weapons just because you breached something (something should be worked out here, the only downside would be when you breach things multiple times and your character would go back & fourth between things to do that)
- No search button in stash to type what you are looking for (no brainer QOL)
- No way to know which items can craft what, the descriptions (when u open an extra window) must be present for each item involved in crafts. Currently some items do feature some “involved in” stuff, but it’s just plain text and not sure if the crafting part is shown there too. All I’m asking for is when you open the big “inspect” window it presents way more info to you
- No way to skip the intro by default
- No way to select specific servers, just regions, this is bad for many regions
- No highlighting of which weapons are compatible with ammo types that you hover over (hover over light > u see your light weapons highlighted)
- No way to see what items you get from recycling a certain item until AFTER you press "recycle", that needs to be in a more easy to see place for better UX
- No way to directly apply weapon attachments by double clicking on them when they are in a container in raid
- No highlighting of compatible weapons when u hover over attachments
- After pressing “unarmed” and then pressing “unarmed again”, it should go back to the weapon you had in your hands originally
- No way to "un-unload" items that u unloaded into backpack after raid (so they dont go to your backpack)
- No way to scrap items without confirming each time
- No way to drop items to the ground from your inventory quickly with a keybind (EFT allows you to drop an item with “DEL” without doing “right-click > drop” each time or moving the item manually to a tiny drop window that Arc Raiders has
- No way to seamlessly drop an item that you are holding in your hands to the ground (without opening the inventory). Imagine you want to quickly drop a bandage that you pulled from your pocket to your friend, it would be quite cool and useful to drop it without seeing any menus (just good UX imo)
- Let us hide build number and and also make it more opaque, wtf does it need to be that visible for? 
- Simplify the crafting window in-raid, all the relevant info for everything needs to be presented in a much more concise way. At the moment all the positions of things and sizes are just wrong, why is the biggest thing on our screen a big ass 3d object display (in the middle) of what we are trying to craft? It’s very clunky and confusing to try to find all the info quickly
- No way to exclude certain items from “unloading” into backpack (for example even safe pocket gets unloaded, but sometimes I don’t need that to happen)
- There should be keybinds for switching between inventory/crafting (+other menus if there are any) in the raid (inventory-crafting back and fourth once you open the menu with Q & E for example)
- Let us hide all the action prompts (all the HUD pop-ups telling us what button to press to use something like a bandage)
- There should be a way to personally add a specific type of a highlighting marker of certain items to track with an emblem on the item in the inventory like: “favourite”, “quest”, “hideout”, “crafting” (EFT features this system, I know Arc Raiders has parts of it in an automated manner, but it would benefit us if we could manually add highlighting markers and more of them just like in EFT) 
- No way to know all compatible attachments with a weapon (you open the details of the weapon - there should be all attachments listed that you can attach to the weapon)
- No way to pin/lock items in your stash (so they are always in the same position/can’t be sold/moved, EFT allows you to pin an item in any slot and no matter what it will always be there)
- All the buttons at the top (raider/hideout/etc) that become invisible once you open your inventory/other menus should be in a place that doesn’t ever become hidden while in the main menu, for example: EFT features all of its vital buttons like “Traders Hideout Inventory” in the bottom left, no matter what those buttons are always present/accessible on the screen
- Shouldn’t we always have our character start the raid in an “unarmed” manner? Does anyone actually not instantly “unarm” themselves to run wherever they are planning to? It’s not like there is instant action 5 seconds after you spawn, you need to be as quick as possible once you load in, so this is kind of a no-brainer
- No way to hide HUD or parts of the hud like compass, etc. (maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t remember any settings letting you do that)
- No highlighting of a recently bought/crafted item in your inventory/stash (I can’t for the life of me find that raider extraction key after I buy it)
- If this isn’t a thing: double clicking an item in your inventory (in-raid) should use the item
- No custom loadout presets (click on a button and it quickly moves the items you had in a custom preset to the designated places in the inventory)
- If this isn’t a thing: let us quickly confirm through all the windows after a raid by pressing spacebar/enter whatever keybind, just anything as long as we don’t have to manually press on buttons to go the main menu
- If thus isn’t a thing: let us keybind combinations of buttons like Alt+1, etc
- Very cool feature, maybe not necessarily QOL from Arena Breakout: if you are in a party with someone and they die, you can pick up the loot from their loadout that they brought into the raid (not things they found in the raid) and extract, once you extract the items that you picked up are sent to your friend through mail instead of being stored in your stash (it eliminates the whole annoying process of bringing your friends loot to the raid and dropping all of it to the ground, waiting for your friend to pick it up and wasting a lot of time with all that)
- Small, but at the same time massive improvement to movement is adding crouch running like in BFV/BF6, feels amazing and is not OP or anything, would be great clean addition that at least for me completes the movement in this game
- Let us fill up a stack of ammo in our inventory when in the main menu, or any item in fact. Simple: right click on ammo > press “fill stack” or whatever the name of it is and it fills up the stack of the item. EFT features this, would make it so you don’t have to look for ammo in your stash just to get that extra 10 bullets for the stack
- There is no indicator of an upgrade that is ready to be applied in the hideout, no big popping notification like “Omg you just collected enough loot to upgrade this bench” or a highlighting glowing indicator of some cool color
- To add to the point of manual highlighting markers waaaaay above, imagine this: a crafting highlighting marker - it remains on items that you need until you collect all the items needed for the item you were looking to craft. Also some sort of a tiny notifier afterwards in the main menu I guess that you collected enough for whatever you were looking for
- There is currently NO WAY to throw out any items from a 1) container 2) dead body. That’s pure insanity, you have to move items to your backpack FIRST before you are able to drop items lmaoooo (circling back to the delete item keybind suggestion)
- The health and shield restoration in the HUD (bottom left) after using any healing items is not smooth as it should be, the bar teleports to certain points of hp/shield instead of smoothly reaching where it’s trying to heal to
- Remove the cursor during raid load-in cutscene (just eye candy, there is no point to the cursor anyway, so it’s cleaner not to have it present in the cutscene)
- The “raider” tab should be AFTER the traiders tab, not before it. Currently the layout of the buttons in the main menu at top left is: very important thing - mildly important thing - very important thing. obvious why that shouldn’t be the case and the priority should be swapped for better UX
- Let us type in a number in the (- x20 +) thingies in the menus. Where you can select how many of whatever u want to add/etc
- Items stay in the “tracked” state even after you collected enough of the item that you were collecting for 
- After crafting things in the main menu it directs the crafted items to the stacks in your loadout not just into the stash, this is pretty annoying (the ONLY “good” you could imagine is ammo going to your loadout, but what if you have 1.5 stacks? now you have 2 full stacks instead 1.5 and you have to split the stack and go through so much trouble just because you crafted something
- For some reason when reloading a gun in raid while you have 2 stacks of ammo in your backpack it takes ammo from both stacks separately from time to time (just annoying, it should take only from one stacks and then go to another once the stack is empty)
- Consider adding a “give item” from-hand-to-hand for cooler in-raid interactions. DayZ features this, it’s nice when you can so directly give someone an item and they can pick it up from your hands not from the ground
- No way to have a “static” crosshair, it’s forced dynamic (the way it changes offset size according to spread)
- Let us sort the stash by “latest added to the stash”
- Currently no way to craft multiple items in-raid,  only one at a time. Unless that’s intentional
- Let us dismiss the notification window pop-up when you buy/craft something in the main menu, it stays there and blocks you from doing things and you can’t hide it
- Descriptions of items need massive work. Some weapon attachments don’t even feature all the weapons the attachment can be applied to. If they are going to feature that, then surely all weapons should be in there
- Add a “craft” or “go to the bench” buttons to the right click menu of each item which has that option. This would make it so you wouldn’t have to switch between 100s of menus just to get that singular item crafted that you forgot about for your bench upgrade/etc
- Prioritize the latest progressed on page in the raiders deck when you open it, currently it for some reason opens the very first page each time, even if you went way past it in progression
- There is a very strange delay after you press the Q-wheel before you can  press the number for the intended item you want to take (3/4/5 on mnk). It makes it feel very clunky and gameplay ruining. I can literally see the number already and the game doesn’t let me take the item and instead forces me to double tap
