Arc Raiders Raider Etiquette – Friendly Encounters & Community Rules

Raider Etiquette Guide

Arc Raiders has an unwritten code of conduct that veteran players follow. Understanding it will improve your experience.

The Friendly Wiggle

• Crouch-spam (rapidly crouch/stand) is the universal “I’m friendly” signal
• Combine with VOIP call: “Hey, I’m friendly”
• If the other player wiggles back, you are generally safe

Etiquette Rules

• Don’t shoot first as a beginner — you’ll lose most early PvP fights anyway
• Don’t camp extraction beacons — community considers this toxic
• Share loot calls — Ping valuable loot for squad fairness
• Revive downed teammates — Always revive when safe to do so
• Don’t grief — Intentional teamkilling or trolling gets reported

How ABM Rewards Friendliness

The aggression-based matchmaking system groups players by behavior. Being consistently non-aggressive puts you in friendlier lobbies with more cooperative players.
