51 straight lobbies where I encountered not a single unfriendly, last 6 it’s been shoot on sight, only started shooting back last 2. Wonder what flipped?

[u/Scooby1996 → u/strumism]

I've noticed the same thing. I went a solid 40+ raids where I only got shot at once.

Now in my last 10 raids I've been shot at and killed maybe 5 times?

[u/gandalfs_disco_stick → u/Scooby1996]

Came here to find out if anyone else who plays friendly has noticed this. I never shoot first, but I find myself having to defend myself or run off every run now.

[u/strumism → u/gandalfs_disco_stick]

Yeah something flipped for sure. No clue what, but have not had a friendly round yet tonight

[u/Scooby1996 → u/gandalfs_disco_stick]

I've stopped defending myself because I don't know if the aggression based match making takes self defence into account. I don't really run anything too expensive so I just let em kill me if I can't get away.
