Arc Raiders Fan Yells For Help, Neighbor Tries To Kick In His Door

"In Arc Raiders, running out of health doesn't mean instant death but rather falling belly-first to the ground, able only to crawl at a brutally slow pace while a timer ticks down until your complete death. You can no longer access your inventory, there's no way to heal yourself with your bandages, and your only hopes are to reach an escape hatch or be revived by a fellow player."

"When you're carrying some top-notch loot, perhaps exactly the items you've needed for so long to upgrade a workbench, this can be agonizing. Crawling to safety can sometimes be achieved, and it's one of the most rewarding moments in the game, but it's very unlikely. And when that timer runs out, you're going to lose everything you have with you, likely including some favorite fully-upgraded weapons. It makes sense to be upset."

"Perhaps not too loudly, however. As spotted by Eurogamer, one Arc Raiders player posted doorbell footage to Reddit of their neighbor knocking on their door in concern after hearing appeals for help, asking, "Y'all good?" and hearing, "Help me! Somebody help me!" come from inside. He then steps back and prepares to kick the door down. "My heart just about jumped out of my chest when I saw the door bulge like an explosion was behind it," Reddit user Dreamthorp noted below the video footage."

In Arc Raiders, running out of health causes players to fall belly-first and crawl slowly while a death timer counts down. Players cannot access inventory or use bandages while downed and must reach an escape hatch or rely on a teammate revive. Losing top-tier loot and fully upgraded weapons is likely when the timer expires. A player screamed for help after being downed while carrying valuable loot, prompting a concerned neighbor to knock and then attempt to kick the door down. The neighbor was a firefighter and the player was house-sitting for a friend. The door was not breached and the homeowner later found the situation amusing.
