ARC Raiders experiments with PvE in a limited-time matchmaking test this October

Embark Studios announced a limited-time test of an experimental PvE matchmaking toggle in ARC Raiders. The new matchmaking option has lobbies with no PvP damage, as well as adjusted loot and ARC behavior.

As detailed in the blog post on Sept. 24, the PvE matchmaking toggle will be available in ARC Raiders from Oct. 13 to Oct. 20, shortly after the Frozen Trail update. Throughout the test, you can switch between traditional PvPvE and new PvE experiences.
