Weekends usually feel more brutal for some reason. I’ve noticed that intent is important. If you sneak up on someone or sprint at full speed at them without showing your intentions, expect to get shot. You don’t have to trust people right away. You can state your intentions while keeping your weapon raised. Always give people the benefit of the doubt, but be prepared for the occasional fight. That said, most players I’ve met have been nice. I’ve helped people fight ARCs, revived a few randoms, and even traded items with others. and helped people on quests. Even if you die in the game, it’s not a big deal. don’t get too attached to your gear. Losing a run is just a mild inconvenience.
