Inside the ARC Raiders Gang War: Bunguraiders vs Bungulators, Explained
A single knockout of streamer HutchMF in ARC Raiders has snowballed into a full-blown community gang war, as factions rally behind HutchMF and Burnt Peanut for the Battle of the Bunguraiders and Bungulators on November 22, 2025.
ARC Raiders is about to host a full-on community turf war with a name so ridiculous it kind of rules: the Battle of the Bunguraiders and Bungulators. Yes, really. And yes, it started because one streamer got executed in-game and took it personally.
How this blew up
While playing ARC Raiders, HutchMF got knocked out and tried to talk his attacker out of finishing the job. Instead, the other player went ahead and did it, reportedly dropping a parting line tied to a rival streamer:
"for the Bungulators."
Context check: Bungulator is a nickname tied to streamer Burnt Peanut. So Hutch did what any self-respecting internet general would do and declared war on X with a big all-caps 'THIS MEANS WAR,' tagging @theburntpeanut. Burnt Peanut accepted and, a few days later (Nov 19, 2025), posted a rallying call framing the showdown: Hutch and company massing in the south, Bungulators gathering in the north, and a call-out to the usual FPS Avengers roster to pick a side.
The plan for the showdown
The fight is locked for November 22, 2025. The event will stream under the title 'The Final Showdown' across the participating streamers' official Twitch and YouTube channels at 5:00 PM PT, 7:00 PM CT, 8:00 PM ET, and 1:00 AM GMT.
Ground rules are already set: Bunguraiders (Hutch's side) control the southern part of the map; Bungulators (Burnt Peanut's side) rally in the north. Both squads will collide on the Spaceport map to settle it. The organizers say the rosters will be evened before the action kicks off so one side does not steamroll the other out of the gate.
Who is fighting for whom
- Team Bunguraiders (HutchMF): TimTheTatman, Nadeshot, Symfuhny, NICKMERCS
- Team Bungulators (Burnt Peanut): Myth, Summit1g, Cloakzy, RNGingy, Shroud, Ninja
- Also in the mix: xQc is playing the chaos card as a neutral free agent and says he will jump to whichever team needs him.
Want to rep a side in-game?
If you are rolling ARC Raiders and want your look to match your allegiance, both factions have a dress code.
For Bunguraiders: go Torpedo Skin in red; Helmet off; Goggles on; Mask off; Sleeves off.
For Bungulators: run Striker Skin in red; Bag on; Gas Mask on; Helmet on; Padding on.
Undecided? Equip the Origin Skin in blue, which is what xQc is rocking while he stays Switzerland.
Why this is a thing
This is a pure community escalation: a petty in-game execution spirals into a streamer-led faction war with half of Twitch showing up. It is goofy, it is very online, and it is absolutely going to be entertaining. Shroud, Nadeshot, and a bunch of other heavy hitters are already in, and the north-vs-south map split gives the whole thing just enough structure to feel like a real event instead of a random server brawl.
