HutchMF vs Burnt Peanut: Arc Raiders battle of the Bungulators winner & gang war explained

The Burnt Peanut with HutchMF in Spaceport on Arc Raiders

A gang war has erupted in Arc Raiders, and some of the biggest streamers around are involved in the battle. But what exactly is going on?

If you’ve been on social media in the last few days, you’ve probably seen a feud break out between HutchMF and The Burnt Peanut in Arc Raiders. The two are assembling teams of streamers, trash-talking, and fighting for control of Speranza.

So, here’s a breakdown of what’s going on, who’s involved, and how you can pick a side in the Battle of the Bunguraiders.

Who won the Arc Raiders Battle of the Bunguraiders?

On November 22, after a rather decisive battle, theburntpeanut declared a sweeping victory for the Bungulators over the FMFers.

While HutchMF didn’t agree with Peanut’s declaration, he did agree to make peace with the Bungulators so long as they didn’t encroach on his borders. He also agreed to maintain peace until Embark included some way for the two to duke it out, mono y mono.

The battle began at Space Port at 8PM EST, and it took no time to realize the FMFers were outmatches. Several clips of the battle circulated the internet, most of which showed hoards of Bungulators terrorizing lone FMFers.

At several points throughout the battle, the Bungulators struggled to find FMFers as their numbers were so sparce.

How did Arc Raiders Battle of the Bunguraiders begin?

It all began when HutchMF declared war on Burnt Peanut, after he was killed in Arc Raiders by a player, despite his pleas for mercy. Before he was executed, his attacker said, “For the Bungulators,” in reference to Burnt Peanut’s nickname for himself: The Bungulator.

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

The next day, Burnt Peanut responded, posting: “If it’s war with the bungulators you want, then it’s war you’ll get.”
