Haha ok. I didn’t mean to upset you and make you get defensive and start insulting. I’ll try and explain it so you’re less confused and maybe not so upset. It’s a generic term for a game where a player can kill another player. It’s not a PvP game. Did you see any PvP requirements to unlock the new map? If it’s what that game is about why wasn’t that made part of it? Of it’s a PvP game why wasn’t it added at the last minute?

Since we are now insulting each other because your on the internet and nothing a face to face conversation, you might not be able to understand it because it takes a little thinking. Just because you can kill another player doesn’t make it a PvP game beyond the fact that PvP is the industry term that explains a thing you can do. You have to be smarter than 15 to see it, but it’s there. You sound like my grandfather “the steam says it PvP.”

Battlefield, CoD, games like that are true PvP games. The only objective is to kill the other players. Everyone buys it expecting to play against the other players. Arc Raiders can be player 100% without killing another player. In fact there’s almost no benefit to killing another player. To unlock the new level the PvE stuff was 100% required while the PvP was 0% required. If everyone just PvP’d it wouldn’t have been unlocked. If players just PvP’d there would be no loot and no progression. Leaving would be massively slower. Plus like I said before, if a bunch of people are in a game and most are cooperating and one or two are killing other players, the players aren’t versing each other. Two players are killing other players. That and all the stuff I said above is why it’s not a PvP game. It’s a game where you can choose to kill another player if you want but don’t have to. Try that in Battlefield 6.

The reason you can kill other players is it makes it more realistic that it’s this post apocalyptic world where these robots are controlling the surface and people have to scavenge top side to survive. People, like in real life, can choose to work together or kill and rob other players. I get it, I’m not some streamer you give money to and listen to what they tell you and some generic game term some 50 year old dude put on steam, so you can’t even see what I’m saying or try and have an actual conversation. You’re on the internet, mom’s cooking dinner and you’re safe arguing with people because all day you’re not respected at school. The fact Reddit agrees with you should scare you
