If there was any doubt left that Arc Raiders has developed a uniquely non-hostile culture, there ya go. Even more notable is the earn rate of another Steam achievement:<\/p>\n<p><em>Crossed the Threshold: Knock out a raider (81.3%)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>A whopping 19% of PC players haven&#8217;t even downed another player at all.<\/strong> Arc Raiders has been out for nearly two weeks. Now <em>that&#8217;s<\/em> surprising.<\/p>\n<p>Achievement metrics come with some caveats, of course. Those numbers include anyone who has bought and launched Arc Raiders, so surely some of those 57.3% represent folks who haven&#8217;t played much since they got it, but the earn rate of other early achievements tell us that nearly 90% of Steam players have at least completed the tutorial and dealt 1,000 damage to Arc.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery carousel-layout\">\n<div
