When ARC Raiders launched, the stated goal was to create a cooperative experience against the dangers of the world, but the reality quickly changed. As the weeks passed, the cooperative aspect took a backseat to heated PvP clashes, and players began to complain about an unprecedented level of in-game betrayal.
It’s no longer just honest encounters that are the issue, some players are pretending to be friends before pouncing on their new partners at the right moment, and this repeated behavior has prompted the community to come up with a funny and unofficial solution: Speranza Watchlist, a collective list that allows users to enter Embark IDs to check if the player who betrayed them is known for similar behavior.
The list presents itself as a quick background check tool that helps players make sure that whoever is standing next to them on the battlefield is not a treacherous rogue but someone who can be counted on, or at least not known to be a traitor.
The sarcastic tone is clear from the first page of the site, which reads:
When someone plays dirty, “betrays your trust, ambushes you, or acts like a rusty rat,” you don’t have to let it go. Provide their name and why they’re on the list for the community to laugh at or benefit from the warning.
Even the user manual is written with a sense of humor. The site gently suggests asking players for their in-game ID for a quick background check while inviting them to pray they don’t get shot in the head in the process.
Despite its comedic nature, the appearance of this list reflects a new reality: ARC Raiders is slowly turning from a cooperative experience into a breeding ground for betrayal and surprise encounters, has the game reached an alarming level of toxicity or is it a natural part of the harsh nature of PvPvE?
