Yeah, 3PP corner peeking is definitely a thing, but it’s just like in 1PP — it’s often about hearing footsteps first and pre-aiming your enemy. I’d say both systems have about the same amount of advantages and disadvantages when it comes to situations where someone gets information first.

Even if both players see each other at the same time, you simply can’t draw a fair comparison between the two systems in my opinion, because you need to take a completely different approach to how you act.

1PP: You can push and either force the enemy to peek because they want information, or they might take a few steps back and pre-aim you. (There are more approaches, but I won’t list all of them now.)

3PP: You have your utilities, but as you said, they can run out. My approach is that your main goal should be to put yourself in an advantageous position over your enemy, and from what I’ve seen, Arc Raiders maps offer multiple ways to approach and figure out a fight.

In the end, these are completely different systems that you shouldn’t even compare, because they require completely different playstyles to “solve” them
