The best weapon against getting downed by another player in Arc Raiders is actually psychological warfare

Every now and then, you'll make a mistake in Arc Raiders. Maybe you underestimated a jump, overestimated your ability to take on a gaggle of arcs (I think the plural noun might be "a DDOS?"), or maybe you came across another raider and decided that shooting it out was the best possible way forward.

Getting into a shoot-out if you're in squads isn't necessarily a death sentence, especially if you have some seasoned raiders on your side, but it can usually get pretty messy if you're in solos.
