Do not kill everything you see, folks. Image via Embark Studios Embark Studios has been generally unwilling to give out too much information regarding how it matches players, and does not even provide official numbers for how many players can connect to a single match at a time. This makes sense as it obscures the system, thereby reducing the odds of players manipulating it for their own gain.

However,

, and third parties, too, have found this to be true. More casual players will be matched with other casuals more often than not, whereas aggressive trigger-happy folks (

) will find themselves surrounded by like-minded individuals where no amount of “Don't Shoot!” pleas can help.

So, to answer the question: it's inconclusive, but Embark Studios does seem to analyze the whole of your behavior, including aggression and trigger-happiness, seeking to match you with players of a similar profile. Naturally, this will vary depending on whether you're solo, duo, or in trios, as it's likely party-based matchmaking works differently than solo ******.

In a party environment, I suspect the game calculates your overall, hidden “behavior score,” and places you in a server that, overall, corresponds to your combined profile. This is theoretical, of course, as we do not have official information.

Other games like Dota 2 take a similar approach, albeit that game openly states what the behavior score of your party is.
