Many Arc Raiders developers at Embark Studios are such PvP demons that they have to force themselves into the community-named Care Bear mindset in order to better understand the surprisingly large group of friendly players who keep the game's community so peaceful. In an interview at GDC, production director Caio Braga tells me that he and several other devs use a randomizer to pick their play style for the day, ensuring a more even spread during testing.
It's not that everybody at Embark will shoot any raider on sight before they can even get out the "don't" in "don't shoot." It's just that, uh, a lot of them will.
