PvP Encounters | Episode 2 | Trios | Dam Battlegrounds

Описание: This PvP encounter took place during a trios run while looting through the swamp. What started as a routine loot pass turned into a live firefight when another team opened up on us without warning.

We engaged and quickly gained the advantage, eliminating two members of the opposing team. Their third teammate disengaged and ran toward extraction. At that moment, I chose not to chase him down. Leaving my teammates to pursue a single runner would’ve meant giving up control of the fight we were already winning.

Instead, we finished securing the area, regrouped, and then moved toward extraction together to account for what the third player might do next.

As we pushed toward extract, we heard the extraction call go off. That raised an important question:
Was he actually extracting — or using the sound to bait us while slipping toward the Raider Hatch?

Rather than committing to one assumption, I repositioned. I moved toward the Raider Hatch first, placing myself between it and the active extraction point. That positioning allowed us to collapse the space, limit his options, and maintain control of the situation.

As we advanced, we confirmed his position, engaged, and finished the fight.



This raid highlights a few key realities of PvP in Arc Raiders:

Chasing kills can cost you team integrity

Positioning matters more than speed

Sound cues don’t always mean what you think they mean

Controlling space often wins fights before they fully start



Questions worth considering as you watch:

When someone disengages, do you chase — or secure what you already control?

Are you reacting to sound, or thinking through intent?

How often do you reposition to limit options instead of forcing a fight?

This is one of those encounters where patience, teamwork, and spatial awareness mattered more than aggression
