Do you check portal status before every queue?

Patch week

Steam updated ARC Raiders on a Tuesday and I assumed the loader from Friday was fine. Player ESP worked, world loot was missing half its icons, and support said the build line had moved.

Now I read portal status even on quiet weeks—takes thirty seconds and saves a wasted raid. Anyone else gate queue on notes or only when Twitter is screaming patch day?

Quiet weeks I skim notes. Patch weeks I read every line and screenshot the build hash. Distance caps are the first thing I re-test.

Treat portal notes like client patch notes. If maintenance is up, I do not stack new features same session.

Fair—maintenance banner would have saved me that run.

Linked the full enable order in the blog setup piece. Player distance before aimbot still the hill I will die on.
