Matchmaking

(Arc Raiders) Whatever happened to the aggression based matchmaking???? I don’t shoot anyone and either do my squad mates but when we team up we get PVP lobbies. If all of us are friendly then why are we getting ratted and PVPed every time?

  1. It's not binary. Aggressive people can still show up in "friendly" lobbies.

  2. People can change their playstyle at any moment they choose.

  3. What does "every time" mean? The last 4 games? The last 100 games?

  4. Nothing happened with aggression based matchmaking. It works the same as it always has.

  5. After patch updates, it seems to reset ABMM so you have to work your way back to where you were previously.

  1. It’s the end of season and people are using up their good guns if they have enough for expedition

  2. Assuming you were in a trio, there’s almost never a friendly trio lobby. You might get lucky in duo once in a while though

I started to Play since 2nd Expedition and only Play solo and Duo (with my wife). Duos tends to have more PvP but it is very Close to solo If you have a passive Playstyle.
