@ARCRaidersGame R.I.P Arc raiders. This new damage for points idea has just put the final nail in the coffin. Just hope someone clones your game and learns from your poor choice in game development!!!
@sloMo_84@ARCRaidersMedia Hardcore gamers are the reason games are still here today. And pve gets stale quick, the rush of PvP is what keeps this game alive.
@ARCRaidersMedia This post is nonsense.
The players you speak of are streamers and hardcore gamers. They are the only ones who complain about poor updates and lack of content. Plus, if anything kills this game, I promise you it will not be PvE
ARC Raiders has lost around 81% of its Steam player base since launch. The game peaked at 466,000 concurrent players in early January 2026, and four months later that number has fallen to just 80,000 to 90,000.
Players have pointed to two main issues driving the drop. Repetitive PvE content has left a large part of the player base feeling burnt out, while a growing cheater problem has pushed many others away.
@ArcRaiderAlerts Only little kids care about what streamers say. Still blows my mind that people would rather watch someone instead of playing. Games were round before them and will still be here if they all quit, so who cares?
Ninja quits ARC Raiders after declaring the game "literally unplayable" due to a massive influx of cheaters and stream snipers.
He says that he does not want to force himself to play titles he no longer enjoys.

"I'm about to single-handedly wipe all these people off the face of these servers… Thanos snap gone"
@ArcRaidersNow More crap from a fake account. Obviously you play the game how you want. They're not shifting seeing how PvP is keeping the game from getting stale.
add PVE mode … so everyone who wants to play it can, same as PVP mode … nothing will change much … expect the rats have to find there own component or loot … players are getting a bit sick of rats or kids who just shoot you in the back … that’s not PVP … PVP is fun, if it’s real PVP … just think about it 😜
I'm starting to lose interest in playing Arc Raiders; it’s become very repetitive with no new missions or trials, and the new climate map conditions just aren't enough to keep things fresh
The dev team doesn't give a fuck about the community @ARCRaidersGame If they fail to rectify the situation, they will lose all current players…

@GamesRadar Playing pc games at a capped frame rate sounds so exciting also you'll still have to pay to play online. Anyone with a brain would just buy a pc. Also I miss Phil Spencer, he made so many bad decisions for that crap console it was amusing. PCMR.
@narkaah@RicardoG1981@eurogamer Sony broke?? You do know Sony is a massive Japanese company that don't just make consoles. Sony in trouble wow. Anyone with any sense will jump to the king pc master race.
@RicardoG1981@eurogamer Still irrelevant little men. You can bitch and whine all you want, you can't change anything xbox is doing. Playstation is in deep trouble broke and has no games worry about that.
Xbox boss says Microsoft's next-gen console, Project Helix, can play both "your Xbox and PC games" and will "lead in performance" eurogamer.net/xbox-boss-says…
Many ARC Raiders players are claiming they were prepared for Expedition 2 with sufficient stash value and submitted items.
However, they assumed they would be automatically opted in during the window. Since that didn't happen, they are now frustrated with Embark. 🤣
People never engaged in it "for the feats"
I literally wasted a defib on someone while fighting the Queen yesterday, and I was then accused of cheating by the same guy and he got the server to shoot me
The people who PVP in Arc Raiders do it for one of two reasons:
1) They know it's a PVE-focused game and they take advantage of people
2) They don't know it's a PVE-focused game and think it's third-person Warzone with robots
In either case, those people should go play another game
@ARCRaidersGame Damn ... you honestly did it embark. Ruined the game for the majority of your player base. Well.done.
Really takes someone special to fuck up a game like you have.
You can take your update up your ass.
