And they never truly will. Extraction shooters are big niche, not true mainstream like battle royale. Everyone is betting big on that Extraction Shooters are the "next thing" but it isn't. It doesn't have the same mainstream appeal. It will just remain big but not huge like roguelike deckbuilders

How does the game work? I haven't really been paying attention because extraction shooters don't really blow my skirt up. Do you start a game and it shoves a bunch of people around in the map and you all just have to figure out how to get around people camping the extractions or what? It says you can solo but does that mean just jumping in on a map with other people on your lonesome?

the possibility of losing your loot adds real tension to fights which in turn makes it more fun than if it was a regular TDM type of game. thats the fun. and if youre all looted up in your stash, the pvp is still fun enough to just mindlessly pvp some dudes PLUS knowing you possibly fucked over someones run is all the more juicy.

Ive been using the public extracts in solo and usually people are pretty chill about leaving together. You can also bring keys which allow you to extract immediately at more private locations.

The only one thats really ratty are night-time raids because the places to extract are significantly reduced and no keys are allowed in the night raids.

I have eyeballs and people stream the game. So I've in fact seen how stupid and anti-fun the PVP is that it turns every social interaction into a prison simulator. The game will die if they don't add a PVE only mode because the sweats will make the game miserable, many streamers are already dropping out which shows the game doesn't have longterm virality.

Its literally an extraction shooter made for normies. Instead of the pvp and "MUH HARDCORE" tarkov design, they intentionally tried making something more normie focused. And who would have thought. You need normies to keep your game alive.

Yes and no. Its like dark souls without online. Sure it works fine, and you can enjoy it, but the best experiences are always from organic co-op/pvp. So you both are kind of right in its own sense. PvE is its greatest strength, but without the forced PvP enabled, it would be a lot less fun/interactive.

not "every" player is saying that though, it's a vocal minority. People who enjoy/don't care about the PvP aren't saying "make it a pvp only game" in contrast.
The game was originally going to be PvE only and you know why it isn't now? Because even the devs realized that it was boring as fuck to play after a couple of hours, hence the PvP element.
Most of the people clamouring for a PvE only mode are people who are going to be gone onto the next big thing within a months time anyway

Yes anon, I know a vocal minority love the sweaty PVP gameplay and that's why this game will die because it will cater to the sweats who will make the normies quit because no one likes to die at the exit full of loot especially normies. Currently it's flavor of the week slop which does attract normies but they'll quickly stop playing.

Arcs will swarm exits and you can still exit when downed so camping exits is just a dumb idea because they'll have to be fighting against other arcs and you can easily just crawl to a console and get out while the campers get shot at by everything.

Part of the appeal of arc raiders is that even when you die and loot nothing, your home base chicken makes enough scrap for you to make a brand new gun + meds + ammo + armor + backpack every single raid. As you progress you also get access to shitloads of higher tier equipment pretty reliably so it never feels particularly "bad" to lose a fancy backpack or gun.

I have like 8 blueprints to my fucking name and I mostly just buy my shit from the shop as needed because money doesn't do much.

In solo it means you are generally up against other solo players. Now sure some people could potentially queue at the same time and be placed in the same lobby but i havnt seen that. Its more likely if anyone teams up they did diplomacy with another random that round.

Ok so the map timer is 30 minutes I think. Usually you and others fill up the map close to that but sometimes it drops you in late so you have limited time to loot and find an exit.

The exits are re-usable, multiple people can escape at the same time. You usually have to call an elevator or train. Its loud, it lights up, it can draw attention from other players or the ARC. I have been downed by robots and press the escape button and make it. If you have time you can hide and watch people escape and choose to call it again after they escape. Or you can try to sprint into the elevator as the doors shut and hope the people inside let you live. When its shutting you have 5 seconds and if you are downed but not out you still escape with loot.

Right now group games are more hostile, solo has a lot of friendlies roaming around. Sometimes that makes it very easy to gank people, but other times the peaceful hoard will try to punish any gankers.

I have many runs where I just quietly loot, try to avoid people, and escape with no problem. But very often I shoot plenty of robots and people leave me alone.
