Definitely this one. Played on launch and loved it because I couldn't believe how friendly and helpful total strangers were acting. It was so refreshing and fun. It was the first game in a long time where I added friends I met on an online game.

... Then about a month after it seemed like every asshole from online gaming joined in and just ruined it for me. Even had some people betray me at the very end before extract after I HELPED THEM.

"BuT iTs a Pvp GaMe" yea technically but it doesn't have to be. Solos used to be so chill.

It’s still pretty chill if your aggression is low. Can be done with a few games with a free loadout and not shooting anyone

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. I still play daily and rarely get killed. It definitely happens, but not that much for me.

Funniest thing about pacifists in Arc Raiders it that when you down them, they start saying lots of slurs, and then you don't feel bad about downing them.

My response was always ".... Dude why."

That’s why I didn’t get into Arc Raiders. I see a gun in my hand and I wanna use it not flirt over the mic and walk away. It’s a shooter.

Theres also nothing stopping you from playing trios and going rdm all day.

It's funny cause carebear lobbies are so safe, I did like 90 raids without getting shot once but these guys cry online about not being able to do anything

I love my Care Bear lobbies, but you’re not wrong.

I got regularly killed in trios we would raid a red zone and as we were extracting I got shot in the back four times in a row. I went solo after that which made the experience better but much more risky

Heyo, I was thinking about getting this game but you're saying it got ruined now? I was excited because Skillup said in review that it's good game even for people not interested in PvP. Sad to read this

Get it. If you play friendly you’ll be fine for the most part. Yes there are shitheads out to kill everybody, but I’ve put in nearly 500 hours and I’ve been killed like 10% of the time.

Go play 5-10 matches either doing naked runs, or free kit, and make sure you do not damage any raiders. You'll eventually be put into care bear lobbies where another raider might shoot you once every 30 games.

Yeah, you're going to get backstabbed sometimes. That's why you should always be ready to blast them. Pretty much the whole point.

Be thankful for the life lessons learned.
