I'm quite new to Arc Raiders (and the extraction shooter genre in general) and have been having a blast for the most part. The one thing I'm struggling with is getting "ratted." Despite only having two defensive knocks in my entire month of playing (both from weeks ago) I still seem to run into players who are immediately hostile, even after acting friendly.

I wanted to see if anyone here had any anecdotes or opinions on how they play or the game / servers.

Don't shoot!

Heh I just had a newbie try to hit me last night while I was breaching a door in Dam. The Sorting Hat hadn't yet gauged his aggression and he thought has was still playing Call of Duty. He broke my shield but I stood my ground and chased him down with a Renegade. Good times 😂

That said I do get matched with non-aggressive players mostly. Seems like the "spicy" encounters I get are noobs whom the system doesn't know enough about yet, and frankly, I don't mind it.
