Petition Description:
ARC Raiders delivers an intense and immersive extraction experience with challenging ARK enemies, rewarding exploration, and strong cooperative gameplay potential. The current PvPvE mode offers exciting high-risk encounters that many players enjoy, and we respectfully request that this mode remain unchanged.

However, a large portion of the player community prefers fighting ARK enemies and completing objectives cooperatively without the constant threat of player betrayal or ambush.

Currently, players often encounter situations where other players claim to be friendly but eliminate teammates unexpectedly during missions or extraction. While this unpredictability is part of PvPvE gameplay, it can also create frustration and discourage players who primarily enjoy cooperative survival and PvE combat.

ARK enemies are already highly dangerous, intelligent, and mechanically challenging. Many players find that combining difficult ARK encounters with unpredictable player hostility creates unnecessary stress rather than enjoyable challenge.

 
Our Request
We respectfully ask Embark Studios to introduce an additional, separate PvE-only mode while keeping the existing PvPvE mode exactly as it is.

Proposed PvE Mode Features:
• Players cannot damage, eliminate, or sabotage each other
• Gameplay focuses strictly on player cooperation against ARK enemies
• Mission progression, exploration, and extraction remain intact
• The existing PvPvE mode remains fully available for players who enjoy competitive encounters

 
Why This Matters
Adding a PvE-only mode would:

• Expand accessibility for casual and cooperative players
• Increase player retention by reducing frustration-based player drop-off
• Encourage teamwork and community building
• Provide players with gameplay choice without removing existing features
• Attract new players who avoid extraction shooters due to forced PvP

 
Supporting the Long-Term Success of ARC Raiders
Providing multiple gameplay options allows ARC Raiders to appeal to a broader audience while preserving the intense PvPvE experience that competitive players enjoy. Offering both modes strengthens the game’s longevity and community growth.

We deeply respect the vision and effort behind ARC Raiders and hope this request helps support its continued success.
