"The cool thing about a game like Arc Raiders is that you can engage in a bit of voyeurism if you're not up for brawling with the game's bigger threats. Keeping out of sight and making sure other players are far too busy to notice you is actually a really smart tactic if you're playing solo. Plus, you can get a front-row, responsibility-free seat to some cool firefights that you're way outgunned for."
"Reddit user SquinkyEXE took such an opportunity to spy on a group of six randos who teamed up to take down one of the game's more menacing threats: a Leaper. These massive robot spiders hit hard and they can cross vast distances by just straight-up jumping through the air. It's terrifying, and they're best avoided unless you're kitted out really well."
Arc Raiders allows players to adopt stealthy, observational playstyles to avoid confronting powerful threats while still experiencing combat. Staying out of sight and letting other players handle dangers functions as a smart solo tactic and grants a responsibility-free view of intense firefights. A Reddit user named SquinkyEXE recorded footage of a six-player group confronting a Leaper, a large jumping robot spider that deals heavy damage and can traverse large distances. Another user, guilanosse, combined SquinkyEXE's overhead clip with ground-level capture to create a stitched, real-time sequence. The game's PvPvE extraction design promotes emergent, unscripted interactions and memorable multiplayer moments.
