ARC Raiders players on PC can use a trick to manipulate the game. They do this by changing their system date while in the game, forcing the state forward and tricking the game’s internal calendar. By doing this, some users have revealed future map conditions, trials, and other additions.

      Sorry, “aggression based match making”. As I understand it: The more you PvP the more PvP players you’ll play with, the more you help and PvE the more you end up in lobbies with people that do that. It’s not a science or exact but I’ve noticed a lot less people shooting at me the more matches I’ve played.

        I’ve only taken friendly actions and still keep getting put into matches with PvPers that shoot me on sight and keep shooting after I tell them I am friendly. Had 3 matches in a row where I was ganked and lost everything each time. Their matchmaking is still trash. I uninstalled.

          Sorry to hear that. I’m speaking from experience when I’m telling you it gets better. I got ganked probably a handful of time and since then haven’t run into them. I’m telling you you should really give it a shot again. It may have been this was instated after you gave up as I’m not sure when it was put into place.

            I gave up last night. I wrote a review in one of the gaming forums if you want to see what I thought about it. Jimquisition also wasn’t impressed by it. I gave up last night after a total of 112 hours of game play. I don’t think it’s a fun or good game. Clearly I’m in the minority of players, but I won’t be back until there are strictly PvE lobbies.

              What a trash article ngl. Not even an effort to pretend any sort of objectivity or rational arguments.

              Bro is mad about AI so game bad. Saved you a click.

          Yes. I play stealthy and non-aggro and most of the time my lobbies are full of people dicking around with no fear of aggression from other people because the rats are busy killing each other in the aggro lobbies.

          For the most part, yes. Not a guarantee but I played like ~50 some hours over winter break, all solo, all peaceful. Ended with like 3 deaths due to players.

          It is, however, not smart enough to separate solo and party behavior. So if you play aggressive with your buddies but peaceful solo, there is a very painful transition period.
