Help finally arrived, but the player expected it from other people.
In Arc Raiders, some players use voice chat. Sometimes outsiders misunderstand cries for help — they think something bad happened in reality.
A user with the nickname dreamthorp stated that during a raid in Arc Raiders, he started screaming for help so loudly that the neighbor reacted to it — came and started kicking down the door:
My heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw the door bend as if there had been an explosion behind it.
Not everyone believed him and accused him of publishing an AI-generated video, since the recording abruptly cuts off at the moment when the blow was supposed to be struck. In response, dreamthorp showed a photo of the door (it also failed to convince everyone)
Then he supplemented the post and said that he decided to get beer for the neighbor:
I bought the guy beer. He wasn't dressed, so he asked me not to take pictures of him. Here are his boots in the frame. He said he works as a firefighter, so he acted automatically.
Players' screams in Arc Raiders have already led to similar incidents, for example, the police came to one fan of the extraction game.
A community member with the nickname iwaspaso said that while playing Arc Raiders, he switches to another language so as not to bother his neighbors with requests for help:
I always use my second language when asking for help so that the neighbors know it's not serious
