ARC Raiders’ Chinese version testing new PvE game mode—and it really should be added globally

With ARC Raiders branching into China, it now has its own region-specific version and team. Separate from the main game, it has many differences that were made to correspond to the country’s rather rigorous laws, but also apparently some pretty cool ideas emerging precisely from these restrictions.

As per Insider Gaming, ARC Raiders‘ Chinese version seems to be testing a new map condition called “Rebellion Incident,” where players start off neutral toward one another unless they voluntarily instigate a “rebellion” and become a marked hostile for the entire lobby. This appears to emphasize a stronger PvE approach for players rather than forcing them into a PvP environment with rogue ARCs tacked onto it.

First of all, this game is not popular in China, but there is still a group of loyal fans. Then the Chinese server has exclusive modes "Double King" and "Rebellion Incident". I remember someone said that healing grenades and sulfuric acid grenades have also been updated. pic.twitter.com/dHKO3wiosV
