ARC Raiders is officially testing a PvE matchmaking toggle
The limited test runs from October 13–20 and will let players switch between the standard PvPvE experience and a PvE-focused mode with zero player-to-player damage.
PvE will support Solos, Duos and Trios in the same sessions, with reduced loot value to balance the lower risk. Certain high-tension conditions like Night Raids, Hidden Bunker, Locked Gate and Frigate will also be excluded.
Embark says this is only a test for now, and there’s no guarantee a permanent PvE mode will be added.
