It's not the dedicated PvE mode that, I maintain, would actually be a terrible idea, but Arc Raiders is really leaning into PvE with a new limited-time event called Shared Watch.

Quietly announced on social media channels like X/Twitter on Monday, Shared Watch will run from Tuesday, February 10 through Tuesday, February 24, giving players two weeks to engage in extra-jolly cooperation.

With the subtext of, "Please stop shooting each other for 10 minutes please God," developer Embark Studios writes: "You watch my back, I'll watch yours – that's how Speranza keeps ticking.
