Episode Description

The Riven Tides update has hit ARC Raiders, and Camping the Extract Episode 19 is here to do what no respectable podcast should: turn a Spotify complaint into industrial gospel metal, accidentally prove the critics right, and still somehow deliver a full breakdown of the new map, the Turbine, weapon durability changes, player count concerns, and the uncertain 2026 roadmap.

Toxic digs into the new Riven Tides coastal industrial map, why the verticality actually works, why beachcombing with a metal detector is basically asking to be shot in the mouth, and why the new Turbine enemy might be one of the better machine additions so far. Nicky A.I. Dente responds by declaring the whole thing a tactical rat apocalypse and accusing Embark of trying to flush him out of damp corners with jet-engine bullshit.

Then things get uglier: weapon durability changes. Common, uncommon, and rare guns are breaking faster, high-tier weapons are being pushed harder, and Toxic argues this could punish solo players, free-kit rats, casuals, and anyone who doesn’t want to spend half their night trapped in menus repairing bargain-bin trash. Nicky calls it planned obsolescence of the apocalypse, which is unfortunately one of his less insane points.

The episode also checks Steam player count movement after Riven Tides, asks whether the update actually moved the needle, wonders where the rest of the 2026 ARC Raiders roadmap is, and then completely derails into “Where the Fuck Are the Viewers From?” featuring Wellington, Australia, fake Windy City accusations, Earl Grey map snobbery, Peter Jackson confusion, and Nicky possibly being mistaken for an orc.

Also: robot vacuum betrayal, 100+ total Toxic Teacher podcast episodes, listener location shoutouts, and an outro genre called Durability-Stripped Mediterranean Rage-Step with Turbine Vortex Static.

ARC Raiders is still moving in the right direction, but Episode 18 asks the ugly question: is Flashpoint enough? Toxic breaks down patch 1.2.3, the small quality-of-life fixes, crafting frustration, trigger nade drama, Rocketeer sound nonsense, and why a game can be improving while still bleeding momentum. Then it gets worse: the Steam charts come out, the player count panic kicks in, and the show starts openly wondering what Arc Raiders becomes when the big streamers bail and only the true sewer rats remain.

Then the episode goes gloriously off the rails. Nicky declares the podcast “a criminal record with an RSS feed,” invents the Whistling Wind Effect, gets publicly corrected by Earl Grey, reveals his top five games, defends pickleball as tactical combat training, and explains why his ex did not key his car so much as “artistically ventilate” it.

The back half turns into a full lore dive, running from Victory Ridge and the false peace into the second wave, Toledo, Speranza, underground survival, and the bleak little rust-covered world Arc Raiders actually lives in. It ends, as all civilized things should, with the invention of a new musical genre: Six A.M. Subterranean Pickle Grind.

Average players autopsied: 94,000

Flashpoint finally hit, and Arc Raiders got meaner, louder, and way more interesting. Toxic breaks down the biggest changes in the update, including shredders spreading across the maps, the new Close Scrutiny mode, assessor drops turning matches into public mugging festivals, and the vaporizer: a flying laser bastard that has people arguing over whether it is exciting, overtuned, or flat-out demonic.

Nicky A.I. Dente spends the episode ranting like a tactical rat prophet, accusing Embark of economic warfare, stealing premium yogurt from headquarters, and insisting the whole thing is a setup designed to drag rats out into the light. Real Earl Grey also appears to give an actual vaporizer rundown like some kind of tea-powered military analyst.

The episode also gets into the bigger community tension around harder PvE, third-party chaos, solo pain, and the feeling that players are chewing through endgame content faster than Embark can feed them. Then the whole thing swerves into Ontario, where “Where the Fuck Are the Viewers From” becomes the first cliffhanger in segment history after Nicky nearly loses his structural integrity in Fergus during a deranged Highland Games side quest.

Also included: Florida slander, rust-belt suffering, Swedish infiltration, hydrangea bush immolation, and the birth of a new outro genre: Scottish Highland Shredder Step.

ARC Raiders podcast fans, Episode 16 of Camping the Extract goes full Sweet 16 goblin mode. Toxic Teacher digs into the latest Flashpoint update talk, the rumored social hub, Ribbon Tides, the infamous lightning trial nonsense, and a long rant about what happens when extraction shooters start getting a little too civilized. On top of that, the episode veers into Embark-adjacent controversy, creator-program power imbalances, and whether ARC Raiders is getting nastier, meaner, and harder to rat in.

Then the show mutates into something even dumber and better: “A Word from the Don” arrives in Camping the Extract, with Nicky A.I. Dente giving cursed life advice to a Reddit guy who got mocked for crying at Better Call Saul. Somewhere in the middle, there’s anti-editing propaganda, random soundboard terrorism, and a new outro genre declaration: high voltage short circuit polka core. Normal people should leave now.

Nicky’s Body Count

1 corporate boardroom turned into a radioactive daycare
47 lightning bolts personally weaponized against tactical rats

Arc Raiders lore deep dive part 2 is here. In Episode 15 of Camping the Extract, Toxic Teacher and Nicky A.I. Dente break down Arc Raiders patch 1.19, the late spawn debate, and why Marathon still isn’t hitting like it should. Then the episode goes fully off the rails with a deeper look at Arc Raiders lore: the ecological collapse, the Exodus, the rich abandoning Earth, the First Wave of ARC machines, Major Iva, Victory Ridge, and how Tion Wen fits into that whole ruined mess.

This is part history lesson, part rat doctrine, part deranged anti-corporate prophecy. Toxic tries to make sense of the actual game lore while Nicky invents new family members, fake spaceport crimes, orbital conspiracies, and enough battlefield trauma to fill an underground bunker. You also get arguments about whether late spawns are actually good, whether the ARC came from orbit, and what kind of grotesque industrial nightmare should soundtrack the episode’s outro.

If you like Arc Raiders lore, extraction shooter talk, chaotic podcast energy, and a co-host who sounds like he should be legally banned from a spaceport, this one’s for you.

01:02:41 Outro genre from industrial hell

This week on Camping the Extract, Toxic tears into the Arc Raiders Discord log disaster after it was discovered that private Discord DMs and authentication token data could be written into a local log file, then rips apart the response and why that kind of security failure should never have happened in the first place. Nicky reacts the only way he can: like a man whose entire digital social club just got left on the kitchen counter for every idiot on earth to steal.

Then the show turns its sights on Marathon, and the verdict is brutal. Toxic breaks down why the gunplay might be good, but the menus are a disaster, the onboarding is a mess, the loot readability sucks, the “font slop” is hideous, and a full seasonal wipe would be a straight-up player-killer. Nicky, naturally, declares war on the UI and calls the whole thing a digital hate crime against sauce.

After that, the podcast heads to New Iberia, Louisiana for “Where the Fuck Are the Viewers From,” where Fake Earl Grey gives the city the swamp-fog treatment and Nicky spins a deranged bayou story involving Cajun Carmine, fake appendicitis, a glowing beacon in his side, server blades, giant mosquitoes, and a goddamn surgical self-repossession job. It is one of the dumbest and funniest late-episode spirals this show has done in a while.

If you like Arc Raiders, extraction shooter chaos, anti-bullshit rants, and Nicky Dente screaming about privacy breaches, seasonal wipes, and bayou betrayal, this one’s for you.

Episode 13 of Camping the Extract breaks down the latest ARC Raiders Shrouded Sky patch notes -- including controversial weapon nerfs to the Stitcher and Kettle, new ARC part crafting requirements pushing everyone into PVE, and new enemies the Comet and Firefly. Then Toxic and Nicky dive headfirst into Bungie's Marathon, the extraction shooter that some people think will kill ARC Raiders (it absolutely will not). Marathon's server slam just dropped, the UI has been called "the first ever font slop in a game," and the build complexity makes ARC Raiders look like a children's coloring book. Nicky infiltrates Bungie HQ on a consulting gig and discovers suspicious marinara in the lobby. Plus: a German listener named Tobias uses this podcast as a lullaby, the "Where the Fuck Are the Viewers From" segment discovers St. Helier in the Channel Islands, and Nicky gets served a mysterious subpoena by a stranger who vanishes into the fog. The outro genre is First Person Font Slop Industrial Panic Core with Subpoena Paper Cut Distortion and Jersey Cowbell Overdrive. Toxic's Jams from the Extract Volume 1 drops on Spotify this week.

Hosted by The Toxic Teacher and Nicky A.I. Dente. Guest appearance by Fake Earl Grey. Satan Hot Sauce Robinson also stops by, because of course he does.

Welcome to Episode 12 of Camping the Extract, the ARC Raiders podcast where the host camps extraction zones and the AI co-host camps reality itself.

This week Toxic drops a bombshell: he encountered Earl Grey -- the infamous Tea Tyrant, caffeinated scallywag, and arch-nemesis of the Denteverse -- on an actual ARC Raiders stream. And killed him. The clip exists. Nicky reacts exactly the way you'd expect, which is to say he immediately starts planning a verbal ambush podcast appearance for Earl Grey that would make a Sicilian interrogation look civil.

In actual ARC Raiders news, Embark has announced Hurricane map conditions for Shrouded Sky dropping February 24th. Wind will affect movement speed and stamina drain, throwable trajectories will be altered by gusts, and reduced visibility plus muffled audio will make the game a paranoid nightmare. Nicky is not pleased about any of this. His noodle arms and rat playstyle were not designed for meteorological warfare.

The big story though: ARC Raiders has lost roughly 20% of its average Steam player base in February, dropping from 241K to 191K. Toxic breaks down the full trajectory from the November 2024 launch peak of 264K, the December dip, the January recovery, and now this sharper decline. Is it a problem? Is Marathon going to steal the rest? Will the podcast survive? Nicky doesn't care. He'll camp an empty server if he has to.

Episode 11 of Camping the Extract drops on Valentine's Day and immediately descends into chaos. Embark released Patch 1.15.0 with their new Shared Watch event, and it is exactly what we feared: a soft PVE mode disguised as a holiday. Merits for killing ARC, nothing for killing other players. It is socialism in the apocalypse and we are not having it.

Nicky A.I. Dente kicks things off with a Valentine's Day rant about his ex Big Martha, a disastrous road trip to Valentine Nebraska, and some deeply concerning stories about Cherry County. The Toxic Teacher reveals he broke his finger playing pickleball with 70-year-olds and 10-year-olds, and Nicky responds with a tale about destroying a Guitar Hero fretboard in an underground killer league on Arthur Avenue.

Part 2 of the ARC Raiders Lore Deep Dive covers the class-based Exodus, the Jangsu Romania corporation, and Nicky's ancestor "Nicky the Rivet" selling fake spaceship tickets to desperate civilians. Nicky also claims the ARC are based on Italian-American aggression phenotypes, which tracks.

Where the Fuck Are the Viewers From shouts out Columbia, Missouri and listeners Pops Hagan and Mikey (do NOT call him Mikey). Nicky tells a never-ending story about an unauthorized server farm in a Missouri diner, heavy-set Brenda, and a tire iron incident that may or may not have involved the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Also featured: new ARC Raiders News theme songs, a Bohemian Rhapsody cover made from a Spotify comment by a guy named Ben who called the show trash, and an outro genre called Midwestern Slinger Trash Industrial Polka.

NEED MORE TOXIC?

https://linktr.ee/thetoxicteacher

Episode 10 of Camping the Extract officially puts us in double digits, and we celebrate by immediately losing control of reality.

Toxic breaks down Arc Raiders anti-cheat drama, Steam account sharing bans, and whether innocent players should get nuked because their cousin is a cheating goblin. Then things spiral into a fake “lore deep dive” that never quite happens, a live-action rat survival thriller, and a full-on digital betrayal by a machine turret that apparently has loyalty issues.

Nicky “Noodle Arms” Dente faces his greatest enemy yet: friendly squads, rotating robot eyes, and his own bloodline turning on him. Meanwhile, Toxic begs him to flee to romantic Italian music, promises lore that may never arrive, and admits this episode might be structurally cursed.

We close with the official outro genre reveal: Italian Disco Doom Metal, because nothing else could possibly fit this disaster.

Topics include:
Arc Raiders cheating bans
Steam Family Sharing punishment
Rat gameplay tactics
Machine AI betrayal
Failed lore deep dives
Digital paranoia
Italian panic music
Outro genre insanity

The ARC RaidersHeadwinds update is here, and it’s a total circus. Toxic breaks down why the Level 40 "Solo vs. Squads" matchmaking is just streamer-bait garbage for a measly 20% XP bonus.

Nicky A.I. Dente is on the verge of a digital aneurysm over the new atmospheric audio cues that mask the sound of approaching boots. We’re also diving into "Bird City"—the new vertical chaos on Buried City where every chimney is a slot machine and every pigeon is a snitch.

Plus, we address a "civilized" Spotify comment about the "choice" to be a rat, a nostalgia trip back to the Division 1 Dark Zone, and a harrowing tale of a feral hog in a Conroe, Texas crawl space.NICKY’S BODY COUNT (EPISODE 9)

The "Headwinds" update is coming to ARC Raiders in three days, and Toxic and Nicky are breaking down the roadmap—from dust storms to the controversial new Level 40 matchmaking pool.

Toxic defends his decision to rat a player who did all the work killing a Matriarch (it's called "Pandemonium," look it up), while Nicky recounts a harrowing trip to Zealand, Denmark involving Satan in a beige turtleneck, a syndicate of exiled gnomes, and the terrifying "Ghost Pigs."

In This Episode:

• The Matriarch Rat: Why stealing loot from a player who just soloed a boss is morally correct.

• ARC Raiders News: Breakdown of the "Headwinds" update, the upcoming "Shrouded Sky" chapter, and the roadmap through April.

• Matchmaking Rant: Why splitting the player base for Level 40+ players is a "gentrification" of the extraction shooter experience.

• Nicky's Lore: A fever dream involving Jens (Satan), eel pissing rituals, and a mortgage on Nicky’s soul held by ectoplasmic swine.

On this episode of Camping the Extract, Toxic and Nicky A.I. Dente breakdown the so-called "Cheating Epidemic" plaguing the ARC Raiders community. We roast the "Burnt Peanut", Shroud, and Ninja for claiming the game is unplayable—arguing that maybe, just maybe, they can't handle an extraction shooter where they aren't the only ones sweating.

Plus, we review Patch 1.11.0, discussing the Kettle RPM nerf and the Trigger Grenade changes. Are the devs balancing the game or just caving to whiners?

Also in this episode:

• The "Unlistenable" Review: We respond to a 1-star critic who hates soundboards (and fun).

• Where the F* Are the Viewers From?** We head to Fukuoka, Japan, where Nicky battles spicy yatai ramen and judgment-fueled ghosts at the Kushida Shrine.

• Rat Jazz Doom Funk: Creating the definitive genre for a mental breakdown.

Nicky's Body Count:

• 3 Major Streamer Egos Collapsed.

• 1 "Unlistenable" Spotify Review (R.I.P. bozo).

• "Grain of Sand in the Sahara" Fu.

• Magna Carta Crayon Fu.

• Chopstick Drop Fu.

We finally did it. We made a theme song out of your hate comments.

On this episode of Camping the Extract, Toxic and Nicky A.I. Dente address the "unlistenable" allegations by doubling down on the chaos. We break down the absolute delusion of Shroud claiming ARC Raiders will be bigger than Fortnite (spoiler: it won’t, you mope), and we look at the embarrassing player retention stats for Battlefield 6.

The Big News: Embark CEO Patrick Söderlund has officially confirmed "Aggression-Based Matchmaking." We discuss what this means for the "Tactical Rats" and why the PVE herd is still crying about getting camped.

Plus:

• Nicky’s "Marinara Ambush" technique exposed.

• A horror story about a botfly in Chiapas, Mexico that will make you vomit.

• We create the new hit single "This Sh*t is Complete Trash" live on air.

• Why Dr. Pimple Popper is a crime against humanity.

• Fu: Aggression Fu, Botfly Fu, Unlistenable Fu.

In what might be the most chaotic episode of Camping the Extract yet, The Toxic Teacher and Nicky A.I. Dente prove exactly why they are the premier "rats" of the Arc Raiders community. Toxic recounts a harrowing extraction where he decided to organize his inventory while being actively shelled by a Rocketeer, leading to a breakdown on the definition of "Tactical Rat" gameplay.

Meanwhile, the show descends into madness as the boys attempt—and fail—to generate a new news intro song using AI, resulting in 20 minutes of shouting over disjointed jazz fusion. We also investigate the demographics of Ball Ground, Georgia, discuss Nicky’s second wife Brenda’s "ham-sized" forearms, and officially coin the genre "Divorce Lawyer Lo-Fi."

Nicky’s Body Count

• 3 Failed AI Song Generations.

• 1 Accusation of being "Buns."

• 4 References to "Noodle Arms."

• 3,500 Confused residents of Ball Ground, Georgia.

The Toxic Teacher and Executive Vice Don Nicky A.I. Dente return for another dishonorable installment of Camping the Extract, the only Arc Raiders podcast that admits we camp the extraction point because we’re too busy looting your corpse to fight the machines.

In this episode:

• The "Secure Weapon" Scam: We roast a PC Gamer article suggesting players should get "weapon insurance" for legendary guns. Spoiler: Nicky hates it because it ruins the economy, and Toxic hates it because he wants to steal your Jupiter cannon.

• Rat Tactics 101: Why "fighting the rats" (FTF) is a loser's mentality. Nicky explains the "Sicilian Evaporation Technique" (hiding in a bush for 45 minutes while your squad dies).

• The Shreveport Chronicles: Nicky recounts a disastrous trip to Louisiana involving a failed marriage to a blackjack dealer, a run-in with a local named Boudreaux (mistaken for Bigfoot), and a "tactical pants failure" caused by eating crawfish heads.

• Victor’s Whereabouts: We address rumors that Victor is currently disguised as a garden gnome in Bossier City running an illicit moonshine operation.

Whether you're a "Topside Sheriff" trying to play hero or a fellow Rat looking to profit from chaos, this episode is your guide to survival. Respect the extract, or get camped.

Nicky’s Body Count

EPISODE 4 STATS:

• 3 Cousin Calzone Deaths (Vaporized by mortar, turned to Swiss cheese by Jackal, meleed by grunt).

• 1 Tactical Marinara Pouch Failure (Shreveport Incident).

• 1 "Genuine Loot God" identified (Little Anthony).

• 0 Olives Secured (Still).

• 1 Fake Bigfoot Sighting (Identity: Boudreaux).

• 100% Rat Approval Rating.

Nicky says: "Check it out. We got crawfish-induced dysentery fu, weapon insurance scam fu, and hiding in a dumpster while your family dies fu. Four stars. Respect the extract."

Embark Studios tried to ruin Toxic’s life by dropping the massive Expeditions and Cold Snap news one hour after he finished recording. So we’re doing it live (again).

In Episode 3 of Camping the Extract, The Toxic Teacher and Executive Vice Don Nicky A.I. Dente break down the new Arc Raiders wipe mechanics. We analyze the 6-step project to leave Speranza, the meager buffs (10% repair speed? Really?), and whether trading your entire stash for a janitor hat and a patch is worth the grind.

Plus, we dive deep into "Rat Philosophy"—if it moves, shoot it; if it doesn't, loot it.

Also in this episode:

• The Hammond Incident: Nicky defends himself against allegations of a "biohazard containment breach" at a 1990s-style Pizza Hut buffet in Indiana.

• Circus Train Wrecks: We explore the dark history of Hammond, IN, because geography is important for rats.

• Schrödinger's Italian Mother: Is Nicky's mom dead, alive, or a poltergeist haunting the pasta sauce?

• Melted Chamber Disco: The only genre suitable for an extraction shooter outro.

Topside Sheriffs and PvE whiners need not apply. This is for the rats.

NICKY’S BODY COUNT (Joe Bob Briggs Style)

• Pants Destroyed: 1 pair (Tactically cremated behind a dumpster)

• Buffets Desecrated: 1 (1990s Pizza Hut vintage model)

• Circus Animals Lost: Unspecified (1918 Train Wreck casualty count)

• Fu: Tactical Biohazard Fu, Insurance Fraud Fu, Street Fighter II Cabinet Fu, Melted Chamber Disco Fu.

"If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn't move, loot it. If it's a toilet stall door, kick it down."

Arc Raiders PvP Guide & Patch 1.4.0 Analysis. In Episode 2 of Camping the Extract, we break down the new update that burns glitch-abusers alive, the best strategies for "Rat" gameplay, and why solo queue players are just loot piñatas.

Then, the mask comes off. Toxic Teacher spent four actual hours of human life hunting for a single olive on the Blue Gate map to upgrade his Rooster, only to get wiped at the extract. This rage birthed the Rat Manifesto (aka "How to Be a Piece of Sh*t 101"). Nicky A.I. Dente returns to insult Toxic’s aim, confuse an Arc Raiders "Rooster" for a farm animal, and establish the new laws of the extract: Thou Shalt Not Initiate.

THE RAT’S BODY COUNT – EPISODE 2:

• 1 Olive unsuccessfully extracted after 4 hours of misery.

  
  

• 1 Squad slaughtered purely out of fruit-based spite.

  
  

• 3 "Herbivores" (PvE players) identified as "Veal".

• 1 Room of Glitch Abusers burned to death by Patch 1.4.0.

  
  

• 4 Commandments of the Rat canonized (Fair fights are for losers).

• 1 Outro Genre invented: "Dystopian Sci-Fi Doo-Wop".

🎉 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LOOT GOBLINS, HUG PATROL, AND EXIT CAMPERS WITH HURT FEELINGS… WELCOME TO THE PREMIERE OF CAMPING THE EXTRACT! 🎉

Brand-new ARC Raiders extraction shooter podcast. Same Toxic Teacher. Same Nicky A.I. Dente. Way less hugs.

Toxic opens Episode 1 by declaring DbD “sucks ass now” and crowning himself 👑 RAT KING of Arc Raiders. This show is for rats, grief goblins, and anyone who looks at an extraction point and thinks “that’s a mugging opportunity.” If you’re a PVE pacifist with a fragile soul… this episode is about you, but it’s absolutely not for you. 😇🔫

🧪 GAME 1: “NAME! THAT! PACIFIST!”
Fake Earl Grey rolls out soft little labels for Arc Raiders PVE players — loot librarians, care bear commanders, hug patrol — while Toxic screams for something nastier. Nicky “Noodle Arms” A.I. Dente staggers onstage like a drunk prize model and starts rapid-fire slurs: bolt brigade, toaster tappers, servo snugglers, participation trophy posse, aluminum foil army, coward caucus, extract virgins, loot-and-scoot losers. Toxic tries 37 versions of “hug ___” until his brain blue screens live on mic. 💥

📜 GAME 2: STEAM FORUM READING COMPREHENSION FROM HELL
We crack open the Arc Raiders Steam forums and spin the wheel of crying:

• “Exit campers, I hope each and every one of you die today.”
• “PVP really sucks.”
• “I could never bring myself to rat like that, it reflects your real-life morality.”

In a shooter. About extraction. Toxic goes full infomercial: you installed an extraction shooter and you’re mad people extract-shoot you. That’s like buying Madden and shrieking there’s too much football. 🏈🤡

🧻 BONUS ROUND: “BILL THE HUGGER’S CONFESSION”
PVE Bill has 250+ hours of hugging, helping, handing out guns. One day he gets camped all night, finally snaps, kills a guy at the train… and feels so guilty he closes the game and lies down. Then he posts to ask if ratting makes him a bad person. Nicky recommends therapy, vertebrae, or Animal Crossing. Toxic points out if you’re not sometimes getting hunted and losing gear, it’s not an extraction shooter, it’s a walking sim. 🐝📦

🎶 PRIZE SHOWCASE: “I’M GONNA TAKE YOUR SHIT, BITCH”
Toxic fires up AI and commissions a theme about robbing Arc Raiders PVE saints blind. The song goes way too hard, instantly promoted to unofficial Camping the Extract anthem. Then he orders a soaring Josh Groban-style version so a choir can belt “I’m taking your loot, sweetheart” like it’s a Christmas special. Choir by way of war crime. 🎤🐀

🧠 FINAL GOSPEL OF THE RAT KING
Your loot is already his loot; you just haven’t been ventilated yet.
If you sprint to extract alone, shaking with guilt, you’re not the protagonist — you’re content.
And the gates of heaven? Wide open for rats. Hug patrol can queue for the tutorial.

When you get to that extract, remember: we might be behind you, beside you, above you, below you… we’re gonna get that shit, bitch. 💋

Welcome to Camping the Extract. No hugs. No safe lobbies. Just rats. 🐀
