Arc Raiders announces PvE matchmaking test running 13th to 20th October

Embark Studios announced a PvE matchmaking test for Arc Raiders running from 13th to 20th October, letting players choose between the friendlier PvE version and the regular version. Executive producer Aleksander Grøndal said around 37 percent of raiders are friendly co-op players, 34 percent are PvP-focused and the remaining 27 percent are a mix. The test supports solo, duos and trios, omits PvP-designed map conditions such as night raids and hidden bunkers, and lowers loot value in PvE matchmaking; Grøndal said it does not mean a permanent PvE mode will be added.
