I loaded in to Stella with a free kit spawned near Med Research... as soon as I spawned in there were two stacks of 10 Metal Components.. I walked like 10 feet opened a door to a dead body which I searched hoping to find spare meds but to my surprise 165k worth of free goop!!!
Was this maybe an item transfer that went south? Why would anyone bring this in to Stella or any map??
May go buy a lottery ticket.

Holy I've never seen so many mechanical components in a raid, that's crazy very nice OP!
It's SO weird lol like why bring this in to any game
Maybe he's just donating his spare to those in need
I guess we'll never know cause OP murdered him.
It was a trade deal gone wrong.
OP just came across a drug deal.
Merry Christmas to OP. Enjoy the shitty inventory management.
What idiot uses Stella montis for a trade deal though?
If you have a hatch key some of the spawns are ridiculously close to raider hatches. That's the best I can come up with, because if you want to key extract it's pretty trivial on most maps with a bit of patience.
Yeah dam is best IMHO for transfers
yup, spawned in on so many bodies last night of people transferring lol
I can confirm
Did today 1M of goop for my son
Dam has multiple spawns near Hatches and if you do spawn far from one you have a lot more room to make your way there safely. Stella if you spawn far from a hatch you're pretty much guaranteed to run into other players.
Muling on stella is probably the stupidest thing you could do.

I highly doubt that. I was giving away bps and 20ish keys yesterday, blue gate and dam have way better hatch spawns. It was probably that guy giving away spare mats
This is a distinct possibility.
Could have been a Santa(see below) and just got wrecked by a Shredder.
I've been seeing a lot of Stella Santa's as of late, being one myself it's pretty noticable.
I've been taking in hullcrackers to kill Shredders with, and maybe give the Hullcracker away at the end. As in, I'm playing Santa Claus because I've got everything maxxed out and waiting to reset tomorrow.
In the process, looting Shredder components and recycling them yields a sick amount of Mech. Components. They're worth something like 6.5k a stack, where one wolfpack = 5k. That's good money per slot.
So I was saving them up and brought a bunch in at once to give to people still chasing that 5m.
That body wasn't me, I only brought in like 3 stacks at a time at most. It could have been someone I gave some to, but I doubt they'd get that extra all on their own in one run....but it is possible w/ Stella's loot tables(you find Mech. Components all over, not just Shredder parts).
However, I'm far from the only one playing Santa. When they're a few of us we're filling up people's inventories really quick.....and my Santa Squad usually has the wisdom to escort the guy to a hatch or other extract. We sent a dude home with like 180k last night. This is why people should use their mics. He was new and was trying to get whatever he could for the 5m.
Otherwise, I'm dropping random individuals one or two things if they say they're trying to make money, then running off to find another or extract. It could have been someone like this that wasn't smart enough to go extract and decided to try to loot medical as well.....or just got lost.
A few days ago I had a dude roll up to me and was asking if I'd seen an Aphileon blueprints.
I was like "Oh dude. That's from the Matriarch event and you need to get pretty lucky to nab it from everyone else doing it".
He said "Oh? Then how come I have THIS!?" and proceeded to drop an aphileon blueprint on the ground lol.
I said "Can you please direct me to the nearest extract?".
Heh.
Allegedly they're dropping in Stella now too. I haven't seen them yet.
I did get a Deadline BP though just a bit ago(Just did a few Santa runs again)....roughly 20 hours till Expedition reset, so it went to some random in the same run.
Funnily enough, someone dropped me the parts needed to craft a Hullcracker because what I was dropping was more valuable. So I had a few more good runs.
/Starting to run out of good resources, got enough for another set of Santa runs later today. Will be able to buy one more Hullcracker when stores reset too.
They do drop in Stella, they moved the bp to that map. I found it in the loading bay on the top floor in the shipping containers. I also found my 3 deadline bps here
Good to know, thanks.
Confirmed, I got one out of Stella yesterday
They do drop in Stella now. I got one in a random ass drawer in a room that looked like a restaurant kitchen. It blew my mind
I've found them in breachable server bays. Don't sleep on those. I'm up to a nice amount of BPs I'm going to lose very soon.sadabout that but I will get wm back. This will be my only reset.
Bless you kind sir you really are santa
Mostly broke Santa now.
Well, kind of. I have cash and resources....just not much that easily translates into something valuable to bring to give to people.
/Stupid vendor limits
I could repair all my Anvils... But to buy ALL the store items I can.... the value margins over what people loot in Stella aren't all that great, and most are worse.
The project expedition happens tomorrow. Anything not rounded to a million is lost anyways.
Might as well give it away
Doubtful. He’s got a friend who is not wiping to store some goop or he bought the items. Yes that is a thing lol
Maybe cause wipe happens tomorrow
What level of moron would you need to be to do your wipe trading in Stella montis. Trade in dam and hit a hatch.
"I accidently hit play and then canceled but the game already found a match nayways and we went in FUCK"
Misclick. Duh. Maybe I'm the moron haha
Imagine the sweat if you forgot to bring a hatch key too lmao.
It's not wipe trading. They hit 5 mill in the bank and were donating their inventory. I did the same thing.
Huh? There’s not a inventory wipe is there?
You only just got the game? The expedition, it's a reset so of course your invo gets wiped. You have to sign up for it to happen though so you'll be fine.
Okay thank you, and yes I just got it a week ago so the expedition is new to me. I’ve heard of it but don’t know all the details. I just like killing arc and raiding!
See you topside
I’m going to bed for now but once I get up I’ll be on all day, going to try to finish candleberries event!
Definitely use the interactive map on metaforge. It helped me knock the entire event out in a couple hours.
"See you topside" Says the murder
you joined at a crazy point in the game IMO. When the game first dropped loot was dropping like honey. It was then nerfed to the ground along with security breaches, a upgrade in the red skill tree that costs 36 level points. Loot was scarce for a bit because the nerf was kinda hard. Now they buffed loot A TON and bp’s drop a lot. Just be ready for more pvp. Game wasn’t as friendly as it used to be vanilla launch. Still you’ll find really cool people that are extremely friendly and even drop loot for you that they already have multiple stacks of.
Oooh okay, I’m close to having that security breach perk, and I’ve been on a spaceport matriarch run with like 5 people in the lift it was so fun. I even got downed and revived. I’ve had a bunch of different experiences so far with it, a bit ago, maybe the second match I played when I got home from work I got knocked but I’ve already recouped the loss. If anything I hope they increase the inventory
Above your stash there is an icon that will read "Expand" when you hover it. You can buy 24 slots at a time for whatever price it tells you at that time. The cost goes up with each upgrade.
gotcha. I'm at 280 I just wish there was a little more room
The blueprints last 2 days are usually garbage
Ngl, thought I was looking at a cjerk post…
I've been running Stella night raids with anywhere from $80k-$120k loadouts while also bringing keys/resources I'm not going to have time to use.
Hell, a few times I brought an Equalizer and some extra Queen cores as a little reward for whoever killed me.
Almost certain you ran into someone doing something similar.
Of all maps why Stella lol. They’re either insanely confident, or like someone else said donating??
Probably someone going on the expedition that wants to give away their loot
Well i had 8 million, so today i kept buying things and killing my self at extracts leaving loot for the next person. ONLY need 5 mil anyway.
The exposition is tomorrow. Ive been running up to random people and throwing epic items at them the last couple days. Can’t take it witcha!
Yeah i'm gonna expose myself
Actually there’s a lot of things that recycle into mechanical components on Stella so they could have just been doing that religiously I suppose but still that is a crazy amount
You can craft mech components though? In the refiner
and now he won’t have to
Stella gotta be the worst map for item transfers if that was the case lol
Best map for transferring to strangers
They were cosplaying as loot goblins
Swap the stocks on the bobcat and il toro. They are best in slot just on the wrong guns
The stitcher also had the gold stock lol.. i sold the bobcat though. I usually rock Toro/Vene
that’s insane this dude just said he sold the most desired weapon in the game
Did you just decide to make shit up far from the most desired weapon
The most desired gun in the game is the stitcher lol
every player can craft a stitcher before a match. people have been feigning for bobcat blueprints more than any other, except for maybe tempest
100%. tested the bobcat at the practice range and even with a blue extended mag it’s hard to down a medium shield in one mag. Stitcher IV is no problem
Why do people on here love acting like the ability to down this or that in one mag is the only metric that matters at all? Well you know what deals even more damage than the stitcher per mag? The hairpin. Guess the hairpin is better than both of them, right?
I'd still run it just cause it's a rare gun but ah well lol.
Oh yeah whenever I “find” one I’ll run it because it’s fun and it does shred if you can get back into cover.
Practice range tests are invalid. The dummies aren't correct to other players.
Not sure what u tested but it wasnt Bobcat v Stitcher. Stitcher the one that makes u wanna get cover unless u hit everything headshots maybe. Bobcat fully kitted out shreds a mf just body shots no problem, I know cuz I played one for a long time.
There are plenty of videos and posts online showing stitcher v bobcat. The bobcat just isn't worth crafting imho.
Plenty of stupid videos focusing on one aspect while completely ignoring the others. "Oh the stitcher can kill a medium shield in one mag, the bobcat can't!" Ok but who runs a bobcat without so much as a gray extended mag? Once you slap that mag on, now you have a stitcher that kills 30% faster. Stitcher being better than the bobcat has got to be the stupidest take spouted on this sub
Nobody said it was worth crafting. They said it was better than a sticher. Honestly the sticher and bobcat both suck outside of very specific distances.
I had a 1v1 me with a level 1 stitcher against a bobcat level 4 and he ran out of ammo before he could kill me, my stitcher got the kill in one mag and his bobcat failed him 😂
Sure. A bobcat 4 with no extended mag? Really? Why would someone bother running a bobcat 4 without mods? If he did have it, and still ran out of bullets, then that just means he missed a bunch, and if you can't aim you can make any gun look like trash.
We were face to face, both emptied our mags and he ran out of bullets before killing me and I melted him with my level 1 stitcher. His ran out before me but had no chance to switch to his second gun or reload before my mag emptied. My mate picked up the gun and said it was a level 4 but I don't know what mag was attached because I didn't ask
🗿
Stitcher with a blue mag, gold stock is pretty much all I need, but good underbarrel and maybe extended barrel are also fun.
Definately not anymore. I got like 5 blueprints of it on locked gate yesterday. Its everywhere and its not even that good.
This isn't a max level full kitted Rattler. What you mean? 🤨
Love that the Rattler does more DPS and has a faster TTK than the Stitcher that everyone worships.
I’m just not a fan of the it over cheaper options
But it’s like what 50/70k, why sell it? At least break it down or something at level IV if really don’t want to use it,
It was only 36k
Pft I've sold all my pinks. Id rather have the money from guns than give the guns to someone ratting in a corner.
Why? I sold mine because of this stupid ass 5 million thing, no way im running it to lose it right now. Maybe after the wipe.
Yeah, meh. I'd sell it too. Give me the stitcher over the mehcat any day.
Stitcher is literally better than Bobcat
with what metric? Bobcat does 25% more DPS, is more accurate and reloads faster
Literally isn't
I've seen those videos comparing the bobcat 4 to a stitcher 4 and didnt think much of it but I literally had the perfect example in a game of Stella. 1v1 me with level 1 stitcher against a level 4 bobcat and he ran out of ammo before me. We literally stood face to face and emptied our mags into each other and I won the fight 😂 so I say fuck the bobcat
The amount of purple guns towards my 5m is crazy. I find them pretty underwhelming
selling the bobcat nonchalantly is so chad tbh
I knew when I saw that stitcher it had that shit on it. Merry Christmas, that guys a real one for donating
I agree with your tip but the aiming speed buff does nothing on shotguns, only the swap speed is useful.
Gold stock on toro goes NUTTY
no one would do a transfer in stella
With a free loadout too 👏👏
My friend was struggling to get that 5 million so I dumped 300k worth of loot to him. Scariest minute of my life trying to get to a raider hatch.
I did this kinda drop when wipe happened. Didnt hit even 1mil stash so I brought in all my good shit into stella and killed myself next to metro extract. Dropped a whole buncha purple and yellow doodads (weps, augments, parts, the works). Can’t take it anyways, might as well let someone who isnt wiping play with it
Spawned into Stella a week or so back and someone was near seed vault exit with a full inventory of same stuff I guess lots of people did that. Respect to yall lol
"Loot"
Gooooooooooop
Peanut has done irreparable damage to this community
A vtuber has ruined your brain, congrats
Wtf are you on about, goop is not a vtuber thing. I myself sometimes say goop and I have never watched a vtuber.
I keep getting the damn blueprint for Jolt mine and Showstopper. I've gotten them dozens of times even got Showstopper blueprint twice in one raid along with the Jolt mine, like wtf.
Could be worse, had that fireworks three times in the same evening.
Bro I have from the 5 Deadline blueprints from the Cold snap Update…

God damn
Why do you have the already learned BP's in the prison wallet???
Saved for the homies
On what map? Damn
Stella Montis, another exp run and this
Dont say goop
Dang
That’s great!! Lucky you, I just got played lol
Damn 😳
Not as cool but my first Stella raid tonight and ever I got the alpheion blueprint and dipped
Put that gold stock on Stitcher 4 and you're unstoppable
I found 200 seeds on a guy yesterday. Was also very confused
That stock doesn’t really speed up the shotgun. I havnt done exact testing but it felt the same rack speed as though it didn’t have it.
Anyone done any actual testing that can confirm?
I don't play this game, so I just see an inventory full of random items
Stitcher, nice.
The wipe is tomorrow. I’m practically giving my gear away.
Nice Deadline. I need to ask about luck. Wouldn't this feat count as using all your luck so buying a lottery ticket would be a waste? Or do you consider luck to be a period so now you have more luck during 24h?
It is inventory transfer
85.5/35 weight. I think your raider might have slipped a disk getting all that back home.
Looks almost like my loadouts yesterday. But instead of mechanical components I had wolfpacks.
It's reset time and Christmas!
I always have great lobbies on Stella everyone’s chill asf. It’s blue gate and dam in my experience that everyone wants to shoot at me. Spaceport is peaceful asf too.
Rmt
That looting MK3 Survivor is worth its weight in gold man
I got like 4 of those blueprints. Gave them to the whole squad
I’d be happy if I found that one and not one more for the rest of time. Such a great augment
The things that are happening right before the expedition are making me think twice. Already committed. Lmao
Been happy holidaying my raider self through all maps dropping guns, grenades, prints the whole 9. Best feeling when a young kid had that pure sound of joy in their voice after you gift em a Wolfpack print then link w 5 others for an escort to extract
Who the fuck bothers to trade mech comps? People really can’t stand losing anything can they?
I think it’s much more likely a stella santa.
I’ve had the deadline BP 3 times now, the Bettina twice, the aphelion three times, the Osprey 100 times and the pulse mine one-million times.
I’m tired boss, I just want the survival augment BP
lol that looks like the bobcat I lost. Congrats raider!
This near the expedition, I’d expect players to be having fun with their bobcats and other high tier weapons. Best guess is a shredder did them in.
I'm way over the 5 million cap so I've been loading up on stuff and purposefully dying in Stella, glad there's more people seemingly doing the same
I’ve seen No Country For Old Men, i’d be looking over my shoulder for weeks after this
Stella montis is so toxic at the moment
Nah did not notesed at least not solo
Neat
Its glorious
I needed this, I now know the Deadline mine BP is real. I owe you OP, I am now leave my family and embark to Stella months for the second time
found this one Stella Montis with a free kit so couldn’t even keister it, I ran SO fast to extract.
Stella has been surprisingly more chill recently, now that I say that my next match I’m cooked.
This is some old country for no men situation. Make sure there wasn’t a tracer in the deadline blueprint.
Damm
Damn son
I’ve started exclusively running Stella because the loot is just that fantastic. Even if you spawn late
Holy smokes
Bro was loaded to the nines 😂 Real nice
Wow, nice haul!
Idk, donating to the community is possible. Last day, I have been wondering what those with >5m plan to do with their stashes this Christmas. Shame to let that bobcat just be melted for no purpose.
Every day before reset will likely become Christmas giving day in the community-
Kindve a dick move to let anything over 5m just disappear
Doing an item transfer on Stella would be an... interesting choice. I doubt it was that.
I want a deadline bp so bad
Its a cheap way to turn metal and what not into passable expensive items to a friend. We did this but on buried city. It is exactly what op thinks it was
Converter on a toro is wild work. So many better choices
That was me last night OP. It’s an item transfer. Currently doing the same thing to reach my 5 million. You pay someone to give and and escort you to the extract however most just walk with you and essentially hold your hand they don’t even bring in guns. Somehow it’s been working for me though
https://preview.redd.it/ejeq3hr2im8g1.jpeg?width=477&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f824f306d11b99165434665ce750b28f505b82ac
Why u guys in NA talk like retards? Wtf is goop?
Being on that map, i'm sure it's someone that is kindly offloading excess to his 5 million stash. I was doing that last night on Dams day raids hoping to find newbies(getting rid of all my unused blueprints), and tonight if I have time after work I'll be doing the same with my non-blueprint stash items I have left.
That said, I did defend myself. One guy that completely ignored my chatting, first asking if he was doing the expedition and then practically begging him to listen to me for a second, kept shooting for like 30 seconds while I kept a generator between us. He got a bunch of nades. He laid there for another 10 seconds while I told him I had a defib(literally had it out) and just wanted him to answer a couple yes/no questions. He surrendered 🤷
I need humidifiers!!!! Lol
my heart would not have survived the stress of this on a free loadout
especially the bp
https://preview.redd.it/p1bjsuduan8g1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ca8a3b96fccbdc98426e592e79b6f59ea36a62e
So did I! 4 blueprints, Aphelion, Deadline, Raider flare, and the defibrillator.
165k is NOT your goop.
Majority of that comes from your maxed out weapons lol
A lot of people are probably just bringing stuff into raid because why not it’s all about to disappear into the ether, kinda like a little lottery. me and my mates did some of it last night cause why not… merry Xmas
What is this brainrot term “goop” everyone’s been using all about? lol Sounds like a slang term for cum 😂
Nice find. There are some random loot rooms in Stella also that have stacks of shit not inside containers. One of the side rooms In that lobby area where the security breach is can have like 6 mag accelerators just sitting out on the tables.
Can we stop saying goop
My buddy was doing this last night to burn through some extra goop before sending his raider to space. Merry Christmas brethren
I’d take a stack of mechanical components over a BP any day
But they're really easy to craft aren't they?
Yep
https://preview.redd.it/s0sj6orqyi8g1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4abf82e29c677efd44039183d46388706d129a9d
Congrats OP! I just left with this goop
Shift + Windows Key + S
That's how you take a proper screenshot in Windows. Nice goop!
Nice! Love to see it
Goop? Is that a Fortnite reference or something?
Nope! It's a very popular term amongst Arc Raiders when referring to loot. Idk where it started but I assume it has to do with Burntpeanut
that’s good goop
Wipe happens tomorrow, you probably ratted.
Or, what I stated in my post is what happened. Move along.
Guy probably got downed by someone only going to Stella for PvP who didn’t even bother to check the bodies.
But this does seem crazy to be an item transfer gone wrong, way safer maps to do something like that on. Maybe they had taken out some other players and had been breaking down the weapons looted from them just for the metal components.
Touch the grass bro
Glad you took my gear and not the rat who killed me!
Holy shit that’s my load out lol I wondered if anyone would post here with this.
[removed]
💅💅💅💅
Goop
You know gay isn't an insult right?
And that’s bad or what are you trying to say?
