  Have you considered asking questions first and then possibly shooting? Because the solo experience has been pretty non-confrontational if you let others know not to shoot. In multiple occasions I’ve grouped up with complete randos to take down the bigger ARC. The emote and ping system work well enough if you don’t want to use a mic.

  Group experience of course is a bit different because groups will shoot first and ask questions later.

    What part of “murder you on sight” makes you think I have time to ask questions?

      The part where the ARC community agrees that solo plays are chill. Somehow the community can find the time to ask questions but you can’t?

      The game is third person, you literally don’t have to be in sight to ask questions. The game also isn’t Tarkov where you can get one hit killed, the effective time to kill is high enough to react to getting shot. And finally you don’t die instantly, you get downed and you have plenty of time to talk then. It’s a long shot but strangers can use defibs to revive you.

      And just to show how easy it is to ask questions, you don’t even need a mic. Whenever you see anyone move or you think anyone is there use the emote wheel to make your character say “don’t shoot”. More often than not you’re going to hear that same voice back and then everything is cool. But it doesn’t work when you shoot them first.

        LOL I love that you think every ARC player is part of a “community” that all agrees to be friends…

        you literally don’t have to be in sight to ask questions.

        Let me tell you about this neat thing people do called lying.
