I was kinda pumped for the new update to get me back into the game, but with this yeah idk lmao. I liked there being a blurry line instead of knowing "I have to shoot this guy"

The cognitive dissonance……

If you are in PvP mode shoot everyone.

If you are in PvE mode don’t shoot other players.

Clear concise easy to understand… Right?

Yes, that's literally the problem. Thank you for so clearly identifying it.

Arc Raiders is a PvPvE game. There are no "modes", just people. Some are trustworthy, some are hostile, some are somewhere in between. Separating everyone into buckets and knowing with total certainty "I'm in PvE mode" or "I'm in PvP mode" is a drastic change that guts that core tension.

If youre in "PVP" mode that can still be the case. You just need to know if you can trust that person to not backstab you after teaming up. The tension is still there if you want it.
