The top post today is a meme that says, in effect, the meanest people in ARC Raiders are the people on the subreddit. It sits at 607 points with a 0.93 upvote ratio, so the room is not arguing.

Two scrolls down, a different kind of hostility: a video of a player screaming the hard R at someone who killed him, posted by the victor. The clip has 422 points but the comments are a clean sweep.

u/itchriswtf notes the fallen raider's tactical error: 'Pretty bold move ADSing without cover like he did.' u/wBeeze is less generous: 'These people walk amongst us.'

The subreddit may be mean, but it has a floor. A thread titled 'I don't think rats are as common as this sub has made them out to be' sits at 63 points and a 0.74 ratio, losing the argument. The top comment lands at 87 points: 'This sub thinks anyone who PVP'S is a rat.' That line explains a lot about why the meme at the top exists.

Meanwhile, u/craybe's PSA about the new ABMM workaround is climbing. The post, at 318 points and 227 comments, details how friendly players are luring others into shooting first near the Queen so they can return fire without the old penalty. It's the self-defense loophole yesterday's patch opened, already in full use. Reactions split. u/rdrofdrgnz, a self-described '95% PvE guy,' draws a line: 'I'll put you down like the dog you are if you're gonna do shady shit.' But u/MC-Hammer-45 points out that a Rattler 4 is just a budget gun, not a rat flag. u/LefkadaVice is less forgiving: 'I let him stay down and spend some time thinking about his life choices.'
