Arc Raiders developers love all the roleplaying communities in the game, including the self-described sheriffs who dole out what they call justice in online lobbies. Whether their verdicts are actually just is another question, but developer Embark Studios is simply glad that its game leaves room for that kind of emergent storytelling.

Speaking to PC Gamer, design director Virgil Watkins was asked about the wandering group of Stella Montis sheriffs that pounce on any suspected PvP aggressors who, allegedly, betray or backstab other raiders. The sheriffs on Stella Montis don't always get things totally right, but hey, they're the law. Who's gonna stop them?
