I’m quite new to Arc Raiders (and the extraction shooter genre in general) and have been having a blast for the most part. The one thing I’m struggling with is getting “ratted.” Despite only having two defensive knocks in my entire month of playing (both from weeks ago) I still seem to run into players who are immediately hostile, even after acting friendly.
I wanted to see if anyone here had any anecdotes or opinions on how they play or the game / servers.
Don’t shoot!


For the most part, once you have your benches fully kitted, PVE only seems kind of boring. The only thing I find as “ratting” is shooting a dude on the terminal.
I find it to be quite dishonorable. I don’t mind losing a PVP duel, but being shot when I’m defenseless and just trying to help the two of us extract and get back to Speranza gooped up, is rat behavior
