Players say playing Arc Raiders solo is surprisingly chill — “They’ll even take me there like I can’t find the eggs in the supermarket”

Most comments reflect the same pattern: team games tend to be chaotic and violent, but solo matches often lead to encounters with players who prefer social interaction and cautious play.

My experience so far with other players from r/ArcRaiders

One poster, PClueless, compared the solo experience to early Sea of Thieves, when players often interacted playfully instead of immediately attacking each other. That nostalgia for chance encounters and lighthearted roleplay resonated — even if, as Sea of Thieves later showed, such goodwill can erode over time into more PvP-focused play.

Arc Raiders might follow the same arc, but for now solo queue offers a different, more sociable multiplayer vibe. If you’ve avoided extraction shooters because of their hostility, trying solo in Arc Raiders could be a pleasant surprise.

If you need a little extra help, these are the best skills to choose first in Arc Raiders.
