ARC Raiders' China Build Tests PvE-Focused Rebellion Incident Mode

Chinese rules favoring player consent for PvP have led developers to try a mode that keeps players friendly until someone chooses to betray the lobby.

Overview

  • The Chinese version of ARC Raiders is reported to be testing a new map condition called Rebellion Incident that starts matches with all players friendly and only allows PvP after a player elects to become hostile.
  • Rebellion Incident marks any player who betrays the group as a traitor and shows their location to the rest of the lobby, making PvP an explicit, opt-in choice rather than default combat.
  • The regional build also includes exclusive modes labeled Dual Boss or Double King/Double Queen and gameplay tweaks such as grenade adjustments, according to social posts cited by games outlets.
  • Early player feedback on the Chinese server describes Rebellion as lower in difficulty because AI ARCs are easier to handle than human opponents, prompting calls for balance changes to raise the AI threat.
  • These features are currently region‑locked to China and reported via social media and secondary outlets, with no official confirmation from the global developers about wider release.
