One debate that has been swirling around Arc Raiders for some time now involves Free Loadouts, whether they should exist at all, be nerfed, or sentenced to always join matches late as penance for not putting anything of worth on the line. But I really don't think any of these solutions are viable options.
Issues with free loadout players have been exacerbated by Stella Montis, the smallest and most aggressive map in Arc Raiders, as players are seeing more killer free loadouters than usual. People who use free loadouts get given a low-level gun, ammo, shield, and health, not a lot, but enough to do well, but with none of their stuff on the line, so they can be more aggressive than usual.
