In ARC Raiders there are many players who absolutely do not want to shoot other Raiders. One of them wanted to improve his PvP skills, but the friendly community is making it difficult for him.
This is what PvP and PvE in ARC Raiders are about:
- In ARC Raiders, it is possible to complete the raids without taking out other players. A success on Steam shows that roughly half of all players tend to avoid PvP.
- Your behavior actually has consequences for matchmaking, as it precisely evaluates how mean you really are, and places you in the appropriate lobbies.
- In solo raids, players often form spontaneous teams and have great experiences when they don’t shoot immediately – this impresses even hardcore PvP fans.
On Reddit, there are always reports of Raiders who are so helpful that you almost regain faith in goodness. One player originally wanted to play more PvP to improve in it. But another Raider completely threw him off track.
“You get more blueprints with honey than with bullets”
How do the Raiders surprise him? The player reports in a Reddit post that he was on a night raid when he heard footsteps. With his weapon drawn, he expected a hostile attack, but the other had other plans: The stranger Raider laid down his weapon and asked in voice chat if he needed a blueprint. Then he simply dropped the plan for the Tempest weapon.
In solo raids, he now barely manages to open fire. Every encounter becomes the most relaxed interaction ever, and he cannot bring himself to shoot. His plan: To turn off voice chat so that the kindness of others no longer distracts him from PvP.
In the comments, other players celebrate exactly these moments. User DwarfVader notes that you often collect more blueprints with “honey” and survive longer than with bullets.
Also hollalongtime reports on Reddit about a similar story: He revived a stranger Raider right before a hatch and helped him leave the match safely. As thanks, there was a party invitation and in the next duo run, he was gifted the new Dolabra blueprint.
Indeed, players regularly discuss how to deliberately switch from PvP lobbies to peaceful lobbies. Some joke already, that dealing with peaceful lobbies is like with the ‘Fight Club’: The first rule is not to talk about peaceful lobbies.
MeinMMO editor Dariusz undertook a self-test to switch from a PvP lobby to friendly players. However, he first had to enter a lobby where PvP took place. So he asked people if he could shoot them in ARC Raiders, and the response shocked him as a professional sweat.
