Rich combat and an unusually friendly community make Arc Raiders an cracking extraction shooter, but Embark Studios' continued use of AI voices is inexcusable.
Have you considered asking questions first and then possibly shooting? Because the solo experience has been pretty non-confrontational if you let others know not to shoot. In multiple occasions I’ve grouped up with complete randos to take down the bigger ARC. The emote and ping system work well enough if you don’t want to use a mic.
Group experience of course is a bit different because groups will shoot first and ask questions later.
The part where the ARC community agrees that solo plays are chill. Somehow the community can find the time to ask questions but you can’t?
The game is third person, you literally don’t have to be in sight to ask questions. The game also isn’t Tarkov where you can get one hit killed, the effective time to kill is high enough to react to getting shot. And finally you don’t die instantly, you get downed and you have plenty of time to talk then. It’s a long shot but strangers can use defibs to revive you.
And just to show how easy it is to ask questions, you don’t even need a mic. Whenever you see anyone move or you think anyone is there use the emote wheel to make your character say “don’t shoot”. More often than not you’re going to hear that same voice back and then everything is cool. But it doesn’t work when you shoot them first.
Because it clearly it is a choice you’ve made. I’m level 26 and I can guarantee that the vast majority of my encounters with other players doesn’t start with them shooting me and most of them end with neither of us shooting. The ARC community (not EVERY arc player since apparently that needs to be explicitly spelt out for you) acknowledges that solos are less sweating (Apparently need to spell this out as well. Not agreeing to be friends but agreeing that you’re less likely to get shot).
Most players do not get the kind of experience you’re talking about, which means whatever it is you’re doing in game is making you have the experience you’re complaining about. And considering how you’ve presented yourself so far I’m not surprised you get shot.
Oh okay, so that’s been your experience, and thus it must also be everyone else’s experience as well? And if it’s not, it’s because they’re doing something wrong. Sure. That’s logical.
I guess we’re just ignoring the part where I said the community has the same experience as I do? Don’t worry, I can come with receipts. Or do you prefer a reddit example? Or maybe a youtuber? I can keep going if you want.

What part of “murder you on sight” makes you think I have time to ask questions?

LOL I love that you think every ARC player is part of a “community” that all agrees to be friends…
Let me tell you about this neat thing people do called lying.
No wonder you get shot.
… Because I play the game? I’m not sure why you think this is some sort of choice that I’ve made.
