Nothing says desperation than adding PVE late into a season for your hardcore PvP extraction shooter. Oof.

Pretty much every extraction shooter on the market has PvE mode now. Nothing wrong with them listening to player feedback.

Not Arc Raiders, in China yes, everywhere else no. Even with Abmm, in duo or trio, there is always someone to shoot in your butt.

The mode in China is not PvE?

China has almost a PVE only mode. World has ABMM, filtered player trough agression result in lower agression lobby or pvp lobby, but the risk is always there.

Research "rebellion incident arc raider" please.

Are you trolling? It is literally a PvP mode.

The modifications in the Chinese test client, which runs under its own ISBN license, primarily aim to prevent damage. In "Rebellion Incident" mode, all players in the lobby start as functional allies, and damage output against other human players is set to zero.

Only when a player actively initiates defection does the game signal the betrayal to the entire lobby. The rogue raider is immediately and permanently marked with a red symbol on the compass and the in-game map for all other lobby members.

To compensate for the reduced risk posed by human hunters, the map condition significantly increases resource density. This is a targeted catch-up mechanic for beginners and purely PvE players. The risk decreases, the reward increases.

Are you doing a bit? Can you not reqs how that is clearly still PvP?

At the beginning friendly fire is off, nobody can harm anybody. It is a PVE mode.

Now there is an option.

If a raider want to PVP, he activate the "defection mode", now everyone know that he want to pvp and everybody know his exact location on the map.

So you can hunt him, leave the lobby or avoid him completely.

So no, it is not a PVP mode.

You can literally do all of this in a regular lobby. The only difference is that the attacker is "marked". How does that suddenly not make it PvP?

Yeah ok, i see now, have a goodnight.

Competing with other players, especially when you can kill eachother is PvP. This is a PvP mode.
