Hahaha. I had something like this happen in buried city hospital. Was helping my friend (duos) who picked up the game specifically because of the pve test, and was walking them through good places to loot, and we walked toward the red lockers room next to the key room. I stepped through and this solo raider was standing at their key room and emptied an entire mag into me. I just stood there staring, not reacting before asking "you good fam?" in prox.
They eventually stopped and was like "wait...this is pve! Omg you scared the shit out of me showing up like that. I was just in normal matches before this one."
We laughed it off. Told them they didn't need to worry about their key room either, as I respected the etiquette about it. And we just carried on our separate ways. Later on saw them eat dirt trying to use a snap hook climbing down and asked if they were good and if they needed heals.
I'm still having good and funny interactions in pve lobbies.

u/HobKing 16h ago
There’s currently a bug where if you select a map, back out, switch the PvE setting, and go back into the same map, it uses your original PvE setting.
That’s probably why he thought he was in PvPvE. It happened to me last night. Devs have confirmed this. (I saw a screenshot of a dev comment in another thread.)

u/Main_Leadership7748 15h ago
It wasn't a cheat it is a bug. Embark has acknowledged it and has said how to avoid it for now. Just don't switch back and forth with the toggle without changing a destination after.

In this case, 99% of people will generally understand that a rat is someone you don't want to play with, either because they grief, steal your shit or shoot on sight.
We both know it doesn't refer to people who are friendly, cooperative and who share loot eagerly.

Actually it doesn't, patch notes make it abundantly clear.
If that was the case, then people coming from pve would be in the carebear lobbies.

Never said it did. I said it would end up being funny, if it did once the PvE test was over.

even if 15% of pvp population joins pve lobby it will increase population of experimental mode playerbase above 50% means for the devs that pve is worth to implement. inconveniences are few fixes away but by playing this mode for grief or just stealing loot they contribute to the cause.

There is no way PVE isn't permanently being implemented. They took the time to make the feature work and the player count is the highest it's been since March. And they are definitely getting the highest microtransaction revenue ever right now.

Love how PvP players screech their head off about terrible behavior being something players MUST accept dealing with as part of the game but
Said terrible behavior pretty much forced BSG to make PvE mode, and Tarkov's PvE mode now consumes HALF of their entire playerbase.
PvP players so insufferable that even those who suffer through the most insufferably "hard"core extraction shooter will refuse to play with them lmfao

Not a conspiracy theory just facts. A lot of the same winners you see on here about how pve is the devil incarnate are then joining pve lobbies to grief or make up lies in this sub about how bad pve is.
Unironically ending up giving it more success as it ultimately is higher player numbers in that mode. But such children/ man children don't have the capacity to think two steps ahead.
