ARC Raiders – PvE Toggle Beta Test: October 13-20

Summary

Raiders,
From October 13 (11:00 CEST) - 20 (11:00 CEST), we will be testing a PvE matchmaking toggle in ARC Raiders. Back in September, we gave some general info about why we are testing this now, and we recommend reading that if you haven't done so already.
Before the toggle goes live, we want to remind you what the test will mean for you as a player:

### What to know
The PvE matchmaking toggle will allow players to switch between the standard PvPvE experience and the new PvE servers. In PvE servers, there will be a few changes to the experience:

• Zero player-to-player damage.
• Throwable items including stun and fire items will not work on other players.
• All other physical interaction items like barricades and ziplines will be unaffected.
• Overall loot value in PvE servers will be lowered.
• Squad separation will not be prioritized, so different size groups will meet more often.
• Certain major map conditions will not offer PvE as an option including Night Raid, Locked Gate, Hidden Bunker, Frigate, and Redirection.
• ARC enemies may re-acquire downed players. There is an eight second grace period after being downed in which players will not be acquired by ARC, but they may attack if they catch you moving after that period.
• Matchmaking times may be affected in low-population regions and during quiet hours, but we will be monitoring this closely to ensure everyone is served good sessions.
