Arc Raiders Devs Pinpoint Weapon & Matchmaking Issues Behind Negative PvP Feedback

During internal testing, the upcoming game Arc Raiders initially received “substantial negative sentiment” regarding its Player-versus-Player (PvP) mode. This significant feedback prompted the development team to reconsider their major strategic pivot for the game. However, upon further investigation and analysis, developers realized that the core of players’ frustration was not with the fundamental PvP concept itself, but rather specific problems related to weapon balancing and the effectiveness of the matchmaking system.
