If you’ve been noticing that recent matches of Arc Raiders are ending in a lot more PvP skirmishes than usual, there’s a high likelihood that you might’ve had it coming.
In a recent interview with GamesBeat’s Dean Takahashi, the CEO of Embark Studios, Patrick Söderlund, confirmed that the popular extraction shooter has recently been employing a kind of “aggression-based matchmaking” to group up more like-minded players.
During an inquiry about the studio’s approach to matchmaking, Söderlund said, “Since a week ago or so, we introduced a system where we also matchmake based on how prone you are to PvP or PvE. So if your preference is to do PvE, and have less conflict with players, you’ll get more matched up.”
It’s great to see that Arc Raiders is evolving with new features like aggression-based matchmaking. This should definitely add an interesting dynamic to the gameplay and enhance the overall experience for players. Excited to see how it impacts future matches!
