Arc Raiders has aggression-based matchmaking to push pugnacious PvPers together, but it's "not a full science"

If you can't resist taking cheeky potshots at your fellow players in Arc Raiders, the shooter's matchmaking can now neatly shuffle you into a session where you're more likely to get a taste of your own medicine.

'There's a mysterious extra DLC for The Witcher 3 in the works', this bit of paper claims. 'Oh, you mean that anniversary patch which was delayed last year?' Gerry's mutant brain asks in response. 'No, seemingly not that one,' the sentient scrap replies. Gerry grumbles to himself in mild confusion. The RPG'
