Embark admits Arc Raiders’ bosses are dying too fast because 'they're not intended for the full server to go up against' and 'we gave players too effective abilities'

While extraction shooters are typically a PvP-focused bloodbath, Arc Raiders breaks that mould. One of the best examples of this is how the PvE boss fights, the Matriarch and Queen, are almost like raid encounters that encourage players to work together.

As unique as they are, they're also pretty flawed, which has led to a great deal of frustration around how the loot is distributed once the big girl goes down.
