Somehow, Arc Raiders has managed to attract a community of people who aren't completely cutthroat. Occasionally, they're downright lovely, in fact. Nobody is more impressed than developer Embark Studios, as the team is more bloodthirsty than we generally are.
Robert Sammelin, art director at Embark, spoke about the Arc Raiders playerbase being so nice to PCGamer. "I think internally we were hoping that we would strike this balance of having people almost apprehensive on how they're going to interact with other people," he explained, "that there is this tension, this underpinning of threat, but also the greater exterior threat with the arcs would perhaps invite these sorts of cooperative scenarios."
