“Have I Been Playing Arc Raiders Wrong?”

I switched from Warzone, Battlefield, and Fortnite to finally try Extraction Shooters. I spent 30 days mastering the PvE loop in Arc Raiders, getting the loot and surviving raids, but something was missing: The Chaos.

In this Arc Raiders review, I break down my experience playing strictly solo PvE and why it eventually felt like I was playing the game wrong. As a gamer dad with limited time, I thought playing safe was the smart play, after playing this amazing game mostly passive. I realized I needed to get back to my roots and embrace the aggression.

This video covers my journey from a passive looter to making the hard decision to switch to Solo PvP. But before I can dominate in Arc Raiders, I realized I have some serious work to do to get my confidence back.
Coming from competitive shooters, I found the Arc Raiders community treating the game like a PvE mode, which was a big change from my usual style. This video explores my experience with gameplay and the ongoing debate of pve vs pvp in the community. I'm questioning if I should reintroduce some PvP energy into my sessions, especially since it's an extraction shooter.
