ARC Raiders: How to Join the October PvE Matchmaking Test

Use the PvE toggle during the October 13–20 test

The beta test lasts from October 13 at 11:00 CEST to October 20 at 11:00 CEST. The matchmaking toggle switches between standard PvPvE and PvE servers. Embark calls this a test, so the announcement does not establish permanent availability after the window. [1]

Steps

1. Choose the PvE matchmaking option within that test window to play the PvE server rules. [1]

Choose an eligible map condition

Steps

1. Use a condition offering PvE; Night Raid, Locked Gate, Hidden Bunker, Frigate and Redirection are excluded from the test option. [1]

Account for changed player interactions and ARC targeting

PvE has zero player-to-player damage, and stun and fire throwables do not work on other players. Barricades and ziplines remain physical interactions. Loot value is lowered and squad-size separation is not prioritized. Downed players get eight seconds before ARC may reacquire them; moving afterward can draw an attack. [1]
