Arc Raiders

I found Arc Raiders after watching Burnt Peanut play it — I was deep into Cyberpunk 2077 at the time and had stepped away from gaming to focus on development work. But something about this game pulled me in, and once I started I couldn't put it down. I'm a pure PvE player — no PvP, solos only. I help where I can, and I like to call myself the Ghost Combat Medic. Zero knocks, zero kills, and proud of it. The game keeps getting better, but you won't catch me on the PvP side.
