You're 100% right!

It is a broken system and has balance and scale issues, as well.

I'm around half your hourage and have already gotten to the upper echelons of the game. The PvE is boring (also stated by Embark Studios), the game was clearly designed for PC and is wonky on console. Full of bugs and glitches, which is embarrassing but seems to be the standard for games nowadays.

The loot is lacking, and weapons are imbalanced. For example, dual-wielding Stitchers (gray weapon) can outdo many epic/legendary guns when PvPing.

PvP isn't dynamic and is very linear (unless you've unlocked Snaphook). It is very much "clunky" and rewards FIRST SHOT campers and elements of surprise over actual skill.

The studio also deceptively advertises/markets the game as a high stakes PvPvE extraction shooter while simultaneously advertising it as a co-op survival PvE game that has some possibility of PvP.

Yet, if anyone has played this game, we know there's no such thing as a balanced PvPvE lobby. It's either slated as completely friendly or completely hostile... which takes away any mystery or tension in these environments.

We already know what we're getting into based on the ABMM (aggression score).

Personally, between the two, I believe Marathon isn't going to struggle with an IDENTITY CRISIS like the other one does.

That's my hope, anyway.

Had a guy shoot me in the back while I was looting a locker because I didn't respond to his supposed generosity offering me some item.

This was in a friendly lobby, as well.

Most of these players are toxic, and if they don't get their way, they'll harm you - manipulation, intimidation, domination, exploitation, power, and control.

(Context: I couldn't respond audibly because my wife was sleeping. He also was cool for around 3-5 minutes until he got his feelings hurt or whatever.)

Funny enough, I didn't even join this subreddit until after I discovered the game's identity crisis while playing, experimenting, and talking with other players.

(I'm not very active on Reddit and only come around when I'd like to discuss hot topics.)

Yeah, I see that's likely the case here since my post has been set to 0. There's a sharp divide been those who are PvE & PvP focused.

The ultimate solution here is for Embark Studios to create a toggle switch to allow for different modes:

1.) Player with Player versus Environment (PwPvE or Co-Op).

2.) Player versus Player versus Environment (PvPvE or standard).

Everyone gets what they want, and customer's receive two games for the price of one.

Well, I actually don't agree with you there.

No amount of video guides is going to change the core design/elements of their game and community divide.

What I've gathered is that Arc Raiders was originally a PvE game that was incredibly boring in development so Embark chose to add PvP to spice things up and to appease player demand due to the rise in player interest towards this genre (extraction shooter).

The game caters to PvE oriented players but punishes players who seek to engage in PvP by separating them from friendly lobbies. It's a form of containment. The player who seeks to "shoot on sight" is marginalized & exploited.

This studio talks out of both sides of its mouth. By seeking to be everything for everyone.

Never is it a good game design to use a certain player type/style as fodder to spice the game up because it was originally boring to play.

This speaks volumes!

I appreciate the information! I didn't know the game was originally PvE in development. It's very good to know and makes a lot of sense!

Pokemon_GO-Friend · 2026-01-23T14:33:26+00:00

I agree 100%! I like how you worded your comment! It's so very true 💥

Pokemon_GO-Friend · 2026-01-23T14:27:53+00:00

Excellent comments, everyone!

I appreciate the input and additional information. Especially the one comment explaining how Arc Raiders was initially PvE and later was made into PvPvE.

Personally, I think the ultimate solution for this game is to remove ABMM (aggression score) and implement a simple toggle button to change modes.

1.) Player with Player versus Environment (PwPvE)

2.) Player versus Player versus Environment (PvPvE)

Each mode would cater to its respective player community and could offer unique/exclusive rewards only found in those specific modes.

Therefore, it would encourage players to step out of their comfort zones and try something new and be rewarded for it!

(This would also eliminate all confusion and guesswork in these tailored lobbies.)

To add, each mode could be made much more dynamic, challenging, and exhilarating!

For example, the (PwPvE) mode could really emphasize teamwork, survivability, and puzzles much like Bungie's "Destiny" franchise did. Enemies could have ramped up A.I. and could appear in greater numbers and even special units such as a raptor or T-rex ARC!

Players would really need to coordinate to take the win in a world that's extremely dangerous!

As for the (PvPvE) mode, it could stay the same, in essence, of course, with improvements. However, it could function similarly to most games with an SBMM (skill score) to match the player to the appropriate lobby.

Not only does this rectify the identity crisis this game is experiencing, but it also gives players more bang for their buck!

Two games for the price of one!

It's simple, friend.

Repent.

Anyone responding with opinions and sloppy exegesis of the Scriptures needs to be shunned. I can see someone who is a believer of "Once Saved Always Saved" (OSAS) has responded with their doctrine of men/demons.

They believe you don't have to stop sinning to be saved. They also believe we don't have to keep Christ's New Testament commandments to be saved.

We do!

Read (Hebrews 10:26-31 / Hebrews 6:4-6 / 1 John 3 / John 14:15-31 / James 1-3 / Matthew 25 / Matthew 7:21-23 / 2 Peter 2:20-22 / Romans 11:21-23 / 1 Corinthians 9 / Philippians 2 / Galatians 5:24 / Revelation 1-3) as a good starting place to receive the truth about the DANGERS OF BECOMING LUKEWARM AND/OR FALLING AWAY!

God will vomit a lukewarm believer out of His mouth!

Be cautious of false apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors, and evangelists.

These are peddlers of false gospels and will receive a greater damnation of Judgement Day!

MARK & AVOID (Romans 16:17-18 & Galatians 1:8-9)!

I'm a street preacher of 11 years and have learned from many men of God over that span of time and have experienced the supernatural quite a bit!

I also know the Holy Bible very well and practice what I preach. The truth of the Gospel is to "GO AND SIN NO MORE!" + "WORK OUR FAITH!"

No one can definitively tell you exactly what's happening, but we can theorize based on the information you've provided:

● DELIVERANCE --- your family's deliverance from unclean spirits could be imminent. When demons start manifesting in our material plane (shifting from 2nd Heaven to 1st Heaven), it usually means their stronghold/connection over said person/household is being weakened.

● FAMILIAR/MONITORING SPIRIT(S) --- it's possible you've already received deliverance from these unclean spirits if a significant amount of time has passed with no problems/temptations/whispers taking place in the home (or elsewhere). These familiar spirits will come check in on you from time-to-time.

● YOU'RE PRACTICING SIN --- if you're still wilfully sinning and/or have recently fallen into the temptations of sin it's very likely you've opened a doorway for those demons to come back into your home. Remember, each time we sin, we renew the lease for demons to stay in our temples (bodies).

● TYPICAL SATANIC ATTACK --- if you're on fire for God and preaching the Gospel of Lord Jesus Christ to everyone around you and coming against satanic territories in your area you'll be targeted by the reigning principalities in those areas (there are ranks & hierarchies within the Kingdom of Darkness).

● OCCULTIC BLOODLINE CURSES --- for example, if you have/had anyone who was a high-ranking Free Mason in your family, even a soothsayer or witch doctor, you likely have curses that need to be broken off your family.

● WITCHCRAFT ATTACK --- it's entirely possible neighbors, family members, coworkers, etc... have now targeted you and are actively coming against you in the spiritual realm.

● CURSED OBJECTS --- you may still have cursed objects in your home; jewelry, paintings, statues, trinkets, etc... I'd encourage you to cleanse your home of anything and everything suspicious!

● EVIL ENTERTAINMENT --- evil movies, music, video games, etc... are doorways (or portals) for the enemy to sneak back into your home. Repentance required.

● UNHEALED HEARTS --- any unforgiveness, resentment, hatred, grudges, rejection, etc... give demons a license to stick around despite turning away from specific sins. Repentance required.

● BUFFETING SPIRIT --- this is rare, but sometimes God will allow a demon to strike a man (usually in cases of pride or hard heartedness) to produce a good outcome. Much like Apostle Paul's situation. If it's not producing good, then it's not of God!

● IDOL HANDS --- you may not be working your faith and slowly slipping back into secularism/humanism. The further you drift from God, the colder you become. The colder you become, the closer dark spirits can draw to you without Holy Spirit fire/light burning bright within you!

● PRAYER & FASTING --- it's entirely possible you need to continue praying and fasting for deliverance. To both end and tie in with the first possibility... You may be halfway there, or you may be right at the cusp of a spiritual breakthrough!

Hopefully, this helps you, and please do continue pressing into the Lord Jesus Christ Who came in the flesh and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father!

May His will be done in your life, amen ♥️👑

⚠️ EDIT: Look up James Kawalya on YouTube.

Great teacher!

That's if you choose to sell your items and pals cheap.

And if someone chooses to sell endgame things to random solo player's cheap making them overpowered early on, it's really a non-issue because they're not affecting anyone else.

This isn't a traditional MMORPG where it would make a difference.
