An experienced PvP veteran encountered a friendly newbie in ARC Raiders who drove him to the brink of madness because he just couldn’t take him out.
How was the PvP player taken out of commission? In a clip from Reddit user Infamous-Ad653, you can see how a PvP player was completely “disarmed”: A rather pathetic gift from a friendly newbie frustrated him so much that he not only raged about it but simply couldn’t bring himself to shoot him.
“This is ridiculous, I am constantly in PvP lobbies,” the PvP player starts (still in a calm tone), “that guy over there gives me a level-1 weapon as if it’s some kind of damn state secret! WHAT KIND OF DAMN LOBBY IS THIS? I HAVE 32 BOBCATS IN MY INVENTORY! I would feel terrible if I shot you now!”
“Killing with kindness is true PvP”
How did the PvP fan handle this kindness? The clip answers that … not so well. The player sounds visibly annoyed that the encounter didn’t develop into the regular shootout in which the newbie would have been easy pickings for him.
He can’t help but show mercy and expresses his frustration by shouting with each act of kindness, much to the amusement of the PvE group. Even a “GGs” seems to cause him pain.
Here you can see the full clip of the encounter:
What does the community say about this? The player base of ARC Raiders must acknowledge that this displayed kindness acts like a true shield, even like a weapon. The clip is proof that PvP players simply do not enjoy taking out friendly raiders without any challenge.
“Killing with kindness is true PvP,” states the player and Reddit user kay0otik. Kuro_Neko00 also explains: “Real PvP players have no interest in taking out carebears because that’s child’s play. They are here for the challenge and excitement of a hard-fought battle. Only incompetent rats are interested in taking out carebears because that is the only thing they can successfully defeat.”
Another encounter in ARC Raiders was also able to make a PvP player feel friendly, but the conversation took a much more tragic turn than in this case. For there, a Russian player met another from Ukraine: “Just want people to see this” – Players from Russia and Ukraine talk about their sad reality in ARC Raiders
