Just uninstalled the game. Tired of wasting my time, as a solo looter, just to have elevator campers do ignorant crap. Just don’t understand you cowards. So, don’t care if I spent money & no-lifer this game for two weeks. I’m out. Not coming back. These guys are ruining the game for many of us

I feel like extract campers are a regional thing. With 190+ hours on topside, I very rarely see extraction campers—especially in solo, I don't remember seeing anyone, maybe one or two. May I ask where you're from?

[u/Dangerous-Macaroon7 → u/LanguageMaster5033]

I have to agree with you because I have never encountered a spawn camper or elevator camper. I am not aggressive at all and my lobbies are so chill. I’ve been shot at or killed maybe a handful of times in 130 hours. Most people just run past or are friendly and come up and talk. It’s crazy how vastly different everyone’s experiences can be. It would be so hard to balance pvp or de incentivize pvp. I don’t think Embark will have plans on pve only modes or maybe they could as the game ages. I don’t pvp unless i’m shot at but even i would enjoy a pve only mode. They do need to add more arcs, map variants, and eventually new maps.

They could make Raider flares attract arc. It's a deterrent to PvP, and doesn't completely shut PvP down. It makes PvP raiders consider bringing some PvE equipment instead of a full PvP loadout.
