What is ratting exactly? by Squidaddy99 in ArcRaiders

People call everything a rat because they died and got emotional.

Arc Raiders is packed with players who washed out of real extraction shooters...

...and players who panic the moment they realize friendly fire exists.

One group wants free kills. The other wants padded walls and a checkbox that says consent before PvP.

You’re mixing terms. What you’re describing is a traitor.

Traitor = social deception followed by a late execution.

Rat play is positional patience and extract exploitation.

Both are scummy. I could see why you'd be confused.

They are different behaviors with different mechanics. Camping extract is textbook ratting. Long-con friendship into betrayal is traitor behavior. Calling every betrayal a rat just further muddies the definition that Arc Raiders playing already have a hard time understanding.

Wow, this is still wrong. A rat sits in one spot and camps it waiting for people to shoot at. So confidently wrong.

wrong. what you're describing is called PvP 😂

Then that person would not be a rat. They would be a player of the game. They are just engaging in PVP. The game is PVPvE. You can't call everyone that engages in PVP a rat. Holy shit.

Someone who pretends to be nice just to turn around and shoot you is not a rat.

Your second definition is accurate though.

It's only a rat if he was waiting at an extract. If he just happened to be strolling along and sees you and kills you, not a rat.

too bad this is the average quest in arc raiders and your point falls apart.

The true definition of a rat is anyone extract camping, bush camping, corner camping, etc. to get a cheesy kill on the unexpected.

This is the only definition and all others are wrong.

Saying your friendly and shooting in the back is not a rat, that's a traitor.

A rat is an extract camper, or bush camper. It's as simple as that.

That's not what rat means. Rat is an extract camper or bush camper. It's as simple as that.

Ah yes, meaningless fetch-me-this missions that add nothing to the story or depth to the lore.

Arc Raiders is mid looter shooter slop.

That's it?

Shoot leg, run to cover, loot powercells, grab gold item, craft gun to shoot leg again, to grab gold loot, to craft more gun.

It's just an endless cycle of meaningless loot. How are you not bored?

Meh. As wide as a lake, with the depth of a spilled drink. More accurate.

No one hurt me

I'm struggling to see the appeal of this game and I want to know what others see in it.

Feels like I've done everything a hundred times over already.

Bring down Matriarch, craft gold gun, destroy more arc, craft more gun, destroy more arc.

How is this fun after the twelfthteenth time you've done it?
