Arc Raiders Trials: A New Benchmark for Ranked Play
Arc Raiders introduces a refreshing approach to ranking in extraction shooters with its trial system. This system shifts the focus from traditional PvP metrics to a more nuanced assessment of player skill. Players are evaluated based on their strategic choices and teamwork, rather than just kill counts. - The trials create a more balanced environment, reducing the impact of luck on performance. - Each match feels meaningful, with every decision carrying weight. However, some may find the system restrictive, as it sidelines aggressive playstyles. Overall, the trials are a step forward, but continued refinement is needed to fully realize their potential.
