In recent weeks, the new extraction title, Arc Raiders, has made a significant impact on the Steam gaming community. A recent analysis of the achievements reached by players reveals an interesting phenomenon: more than 57.7% of the PC player base has opted for a mostly pacifist playstyle, avoiding significant conflicts with other raiders.
Most Relaxed Players
The statistics are surprising considering that only 42.3% of players have achieved the “Unbreakable” achievement, which consists of knocking out 10 raiders. This indicates that most players prefer to adopt a more friendly and collaborative approach in an environment that is normally associated with competition and aggression. Additionally, a notable 81.3% of players have engaged in social activities, such as sharing an elevator with other raiders, which further emphasizes the inclination towards cooperation.
The game has been available for almost two weeks, which puts into perspective the unusually low aggression of the players. In fact, 19% of the player base has not eliminated any enemies, which is extraordinary for an extraction shooter. This behavior highlights the creation of a non-hostile culture within the Arc Raiders community.
The achievements, which include everyone who purchased and launched the game, may influence these percentages, suggesting that some players may have acquired the title without engaging for long periods. However, it is evident that most players are looking for a more relaxed and perhaps more social experience compared to other video games in the same genre.
Arc Raiders seems to be setting a new standard in shooters, where collaboration and peace are gaining ground over typical aggression. With a trend pointing towards a culture of peace among players, it will be fascinating to see how the community evolves in the coming weeks.
