A new fan-created site called Speranza Bounties allows Arc Raiders players to track and place bounties on those who engage in unfair PvP tactics. Players can submit a target's Embark ID from post-game reports to highlight behaviors like extraction camping or baiting. Bounties remain active for 30 days, with rewards for completing them.
Overview of Speranza Bounties
Arc Raiders, a PvPvE extraction shooter developed by Embark Studios, features intense multiplayer sessions where betrayal can occur during extractions. To address frustrations from such encounters, community members have launched Speranza Bounties, a dedicated website for reporting and pursuing problematic players. This tool aims to foster accountability without relying on in-game mechanics alone.
How the System Works
Users access the site to view active bounties, which detail offenses such as lying to teammates, bait and switches, or camping extraction points in the game's Rust Belt setting. To place a bounty, players provide the offender's Embark ID, easily found in the post-match summary after a kill. Each bounty expires after 30 days, encouraging short-term vigilance. Successful hunters who eliminate a bountied target receive special titles as recognition.
Community Impact
The initiative highlights ongoing discussions about PvP's role in Arc Raiders. While the game integrates player-versus-player elements into its core loop, tools like this add social layers, such as potential revenge opportunities or behavior tracking. Developers have not commented on the site, but it reflects player desires for enhanced interactions beyond standard reports. As of now, Speranza Bounties operates independently, relying on community participation to maintain its database.
