Ex Professional-Gamer Goes Viral For Griefing In Arc Raiders

The PvP nature of multiplayer extraction shooter Arc Raiders has been contentious because the sport’s launch. There are lots of who see the power to kill and be killed by different gamers are very important for the sport’s rigidity and delight. There are others who argue it’s antithetical to the conventions of a sport wherein a scant, courageous few are attempting to deliver again sources to these residing underground. Both manner, Arc Raiders gamers have reached an interesting and fragile understanding wherein most individuals, more often than not, don’t kill. So when a retired professional gamer reveals up and simply begins slaughtering the whole lot, it’s…properly, it’s simply impolite!

As IGN reports, Taylor “THump” Humphries—a former professional at video games like Apex Legends, Rocket Area, and H1Z1—has determined to spend his spare time taking out as many “casual” gamers as he can in Embark’s breakout hit sport. On latest Twitch streams, THump has been broadcasting himself griefing in Arc Raiders for, seemingly, his lone amusement. His most up-to-date stream, a grueling 13 hours lengthy, is primarily the man killing different gamers in a sport wherein most individuals decide to be peaceable.

The difficulty with THump’s murderstreams is that all the train is the online game equal of shitposting. His commentary is incessant irony, with him laughing as he makes different individuals unhappy. And, I dunno, I’m too outdated and drained to search out that shit humorous. Someway that is proving entertaining sufficient to the streamer that he’s doing it evening after evening of late, most lately delighting in lobbing grenades.

Just a few days again, it was this post on X that basically riled individuals up, as THump dropped a clip of his killing a celebration of 4 on the very begin of a run, after they didn’t even have any loot to steal. “We just started, I have nothing,” stated the primary individual he killed. “What scum man,” they added after the second kill.

I like killing grown males which have jobs and youngsters as they’re attempting to get 5 million credit for the expedition. Killing all teamers in solos, reside now.https://t.co/hiY3uPb3e7 pic.twitter.com/ncHTgNMT1x

Given THump’s a troll, his responses to these objecting—such as “I come from a place where PvP is not optional…it’s a way of life. You want optional PvP go play WoW“—are obviously insincere. When one person calls him “another toxic streamer,” and suggests he’d have a greater time serving to different gamers somewhat than killing them, he replies, “Id rather ruin others time than have fun myself.”

However, once more, he’s not doing something mistaken. Whereas THump’s repeated claims of innocence, that he’s simply killing different gamers “in a PvP game,” are clearly disingenuous, there’s no arguing that Arc Raiders isn’t designed to facilitate it. Actually, as a lot as seeing somebody do that for clout is embarrassing to observe, I take large solace in understanding that his actions are one thing that stands out amongst gamers. I actually somewhat love that this ostensibly PvP sport has one way or the other engendered a participant base that, 90 % of the time, opts to not kill, even when there’s private acquire in doing so. In 2025, that appears like a beacon of hope, and a douche like THump exploiting it solely highlights how beneficial it’s.
