Gang War Has Erupted In Arc Raiders, And A Victor Is Already...

I think it's time to start wearing Bungulator colours

I'll forgive you if half of the headline above seemed like I was talking in tongues, because what in God's green earth is a Bungulator, what does that have to do with Arc Raiders, and why has Tyler 'Ninja' Blevins joined them? Soon, all will become clear. But first, I need to start at the beginning, with a Burnt Peanut.

TheBurntPeanut, leader of the Bungulators, is a wildly popular streamer who started in Escape from Tarkov and has since also expanded his streams into Arc Raiders and some Battlefield 6 Redsec. Oh, and his whole shtick is that he mocaps as a peanut, wild scenes.

But TheBurntPeanut isn't the only streamer parading around in Arc Raiders. As one of the most popular games at the moment, Twitch has well and truly invaded the extraction shooter. You have Shroud with his wild takes about GOTY, Ninja, who's just trying his darndest, and then others like xQc, TimTheTatman, Myth, and the second key figure in this story, HutchMF.

The spark that set this war off was some random Arc Raiders player who downed HutchMF, but not before declaring that this was "for the Bungulators". HutchMF shared the clip and announced, "This means war!!"

Since then, other streamers have picked sides, with TimTheTatman, Nadeshot, Symfuhny, and NickMercs all siding with HutchMF. While cloakzy, Myth, summit1g, RNGingy, Shroud, and now Ninja have chosen TheBurntPeanut. It's gotten so intense that HutchMF shared the "official map" of what people are dubbing The Battle for Speranza.

"His fanbase is diehard, people might be Hutch fans, people might be NicMercs fans, you don't understand, bro," Ninja explains in a TikTok. "If you go against TheBurntPeanut, you're going against guys who watch a PEANUT. You're going against people who love this guy and tune into his streams. His AFK channel almost has more viewers than me and Hutch when we go live. His AFK channel has 4,000 viewers. Do you understand that?

"I'm not declaring war or picking sides against somebody whose AFK stream gets more viewers than me, I'm not going against that fanbase, dude. I'm not going to get stream sniped by those guys. That's not fucking happening. I'm
