ARC Raiders established itself as an extraction shooter with a strong social aspect, where players are usually nicer than in most other titles of the type. But it seems that's over, at least in part, as players are nearing end-game content and loot becomes more valuable than ever.
Though the game's initial release saw hundreds of thousands of players happily engage in friendly conversation with those they came across, it appears this is slowly subsiding topside. Recently, I've experienced a greater number of people who shoot me on sight (if you're one of these, do tell us here), and no amount of yelling "Don't shoot!" or pleading via the microphone (not even when I change my voice into a female one via the in-game AI voice changer) can save me.
