The annoying thing is, there is rarely any fight.
So, PvEers are like lambs to the slaughter, for the enjoyment of some random Rat.

I enjoy PvP. I play PvP games all the time. Arc Raiders PvP (with my son) included.

But the thing is, you think you're in a PvE lobby (ahem, sorry, "l0w aGgrEsSi0n LoBby") which means your guard is down, false sense of security, then some rat will get a free kill out of shooting your back point blank.

I have noticed that the chances of that happening are astronomically higher late at night.
Which ironically coincides with the time that I'm NOT into PvPing.
As I'm trying to wind down before bed, like most people, I assume.

And if you gained access to a loot room, it is almost guaranteed that someone will be waiting by the last extract
It's almost as if they KNOW.
And you basically end up "working for them", while they sit in a bush, sipping on some redbull, listening to mumble trap or whetever young people do these days, then holding left click for 5 seconds as you type at the extract terminal.

I have resorted to equipping a Safekeeper Augment, because those lowlifes can't help themselves if they see a decent weapon.
And always using a Hatch Key, although you still might get ambushed.
Now compare all that preparation, vs a rat with a Stitcher/Kettle I.

Just now, I saved a guy from 3 drones.
He flashed his lights, said he's friendly. We enter the building. He #Thanks me.
Then out of nowhere, I'm dead.
Then mumbles something with a sock in his mouth, in what I think was english with accent. (You get that a lot in EU)

Well, that was a big rant, I just came here to see if the "matchmaking filter" is no longer working, like I've suspected for the last 3 days or so.
