HutchMF vs Burnt Peanut: Arc Raiders gang war explained

Trouble is brewing in the world of Arc Raiders! A major conflict has broken out between player groups, and popular streamers are right in the middle of it. Let’s break down what’s happening.

There’s been some drama in the Arc Raiders community lately, with streamers HutchMF and The Burnt Peanut publicly feuding. They’re both building teams and competing for dominance in the game, particularly around a location called Speranza, and haven’t been shy about trash-talking each other online.

Let’s get you up to speed on the Battle of the Bunguraiders: here’s what it’s about, who’s fighting, and how you can choose a side.

How did Arc Raiders Battle of the Bunguraiders begin?

HutchMF is gathering his team in the south (including TimTheTatman, Nadeshot, Symfuhny, and Nickmercs), but they don’t realize a powerful force is building in the north with Cloakzy, Myth, Summit1g, RNGingy, Shroud, and xQc. Will you join our side?

The conflict started when HutchMF declared war on Burnt Peanut. This happened after HutchMF was killed in the game Arc Raiders by another player, even though he begged for his life. Before being defeated, the player who killed him shouted, “For the Bungaltors,” a reference to Burnt Peanut’s self-proclaimed nickname, The Bungaltor.

Hutch shared the clip on X, announcing: “THIS MEANS WAR!!”

The following day, Burnt Peanut declared, “Bring on a fight if that’s what you want!”

Both streamers are now asking their fans and other content creators for help and support.
