Discussion I just had the strangest encounter in ARC Raiders.

I had just started a solo Blue Gate run to get some olives. Fresh raid - spawned in the southeast near the ancient fort and headed to the olive grove.

As I neared the grove, I started taking Rattler fire and hid behind a rock, but the enemy had high ground and was able to headshot me. Not even 2 minutes in.

I was downed and crawled around an embankment and saw a few figures running my way from the north. I repeatedly warned them about the player that knocked me. While I was letting them know, I heard them getting closer and closer and they were all humming and singing some kind of chant. It sounded like Creole or some kind of Caribbean song in another language than English.

In all, there were about 5 of them. One stopped and defibbed me while saying in a quiet voice, "We gotcha brudda." I stood and healed while hearing a gunfight and once again warned them about my aggressor. One yelled out "He been dealt with, mon. Carry on."

WTF is this game? LOL

Yeah, me and a buddy were doing hidden bunker on space port last night and 6 of these guys just stood on top of the arrival building. After gunning down the bastion and shredders that spawn at the entrance to the bunker they just stood watch and chanted. I asked what they were doing and one said “keeping the peace”

That's a legendary squad encounter right there, they basically role-played you into the lore.

I like that. They turned the anagram of role playing to lore playing. Nice.

That's a good catch, though I think they just meant the squad was playing out their own story in the world rather than treating it like a standard extraction game.

I absolutely hate teamming in solo q (discord). South América server is full of that shit, every single solo q game you have to face 2 or 3 players.

How do they get into the same solo server? Is it just through queuing at the same time same region?
