ARBC (Always Run Best Kit)

A philosophy originating in extraction shooters (like Marathon) that dictates you should never let your best gear gather dust in the inventory out of fear of losing it. Instead, you load into every match with your top-tier weapons, armor, and mods, because keeping them locked away serves absolutely no one.

In a broader sense, ARBC is a rule to live by in real life. It means refusing to save your best self, your finest possessions, or your highest energy for a "special occasion" that might never come. Life is a high-stakes extraction map; you might as well go out geared to the teeth.
Player 1: "Bro, why are you bringing the Tier-5 exotic rifle to a casual raid? What if you get wiped?"
Player 2: "Strict ARBC rules today, man. I'm not letting this thing sit in my digital closet forever."

Friend A: "Are you seriously wearing your designer leather jacket just to go grab tacos?"
Friend B: "Always. ARBC, baby. If I get run over by a bus today, I’m looking phenomenal on the stretcher."
