Peaceful lobbies exist in Marathon, but I'm wary of testing them

Much of the talk around Marathon has focused on its PvP emphasis. That feels like the opposite of Arc Raiders, where matches often play out as friendly walks in the park as everyone drops their weapons and collects mushrooms, toasters, and whatever else. On Tau Ceti, though, the expectation was shoot first, ask questions later.

Still, in just a few matches since launch I've already made friends with a fellow Rook (albeit we teamed up to kill another player), had a friendly chat with a player I beat in a 1v1 (again, ignore the tinge of violence), and even extracted with an enemy group (they tried to kill me, but I was just too fast).

Then I came across Reddit user Punk Saint's post where almost their whole lobby chose peace and extracted together. And yes, there's proof—I wouldn't have believed it otherwise. "People just kept joining and coming over, [but] nobody shot anyone," they explain.
