About this episode
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) Skill Points Per Million: 1 Mothers Confirmed: 0 (Status: Poltergeist/Alive/Dead/Cooking) Janitor Caps Acquired: 1 Ranch Dressing Hate Crimes: 1 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."
