  "account": "Arc Raiders, a game known for its PvP battles, has released an experimental PvE mode that has become a playground for griefers. These players, who thrive on causing havoc, manipulate AI, use tools, and even interfere with extraction points to extract valuable rewards without consequence. Videos have surfaced of players using the Bull Rush ability to bash into others who are trying to extract, causing their demise and securing loot. They also camp locked loot rooms, waiting for another player to arrive with a key. The player holding the key can either share the spoils or leave, hoping to find better randoms in the next match. Griefers have also been using lure grenades to pull enemy robots into extraction points, a tactic that can be particularly devastating if it involves a powerful shredder. A Twitter user reported that even first-time players were engaging in such behavior, looting all the Arc before others could get any. Some believe this could lead to the shelving of the experimental PvE mode, while others argue that developers should make changes to curb this antisocial behavior. Despite being labeled as experimental, the PvE mode has already seen players coming out with incredibly powerful gear, raising concerns about the fairness of the game.",
  "summary": "Arc Raiders PvE lobbies are already stacked with griefers, using the relative safety of the mode, where your bullets don’t affect other raiders, to put other players in dangerous spots via other means, whether that be manipulating the AI, using tools, or simply getting in the way.",
