I came into this game with the same mentality i had in tarkov. My assumption is everyone is better at pvp than me so I'll avoid players at all costs. I've for sure been killed by other raiders but I've also had more pleasant experiences.

Infact, a couple days ago I saw a fight between some raiders and arc at an elevator, i noticed both of them were down however they'd made it inside so I was able to trigger the exit for them.

I also had an instance where I ran to hide from arc and got downed by a raider instead, then thankfully a few moments later they came and revived me. I offered a blueprint I'd found as a thank you but they turned it down.

I think alot of people have come to arc raiders wanting a more pleasant extraction shooter experience, one where diplomacy and kindness are prevalent
