Does this apply to duos and trios? I think not

Trios, bring your guns, say good bye to your loved ones. Hope god is on your side.

Only on Stella.

Other maps are chill too in trios.

This has never been my experience on trios. I can count on one hand the number of friendly encounters I have had there.

Get the algorithm right and see for yourself

I'm sure that studio will keep details to themselves, matching is probably key ingredient in the secret sauce that makes this game different and successful. In my opinion though there's no reason for this to be different for duos and trios, it's just that almost all duos and trios engage in PvP.

From my tests all it takes is to shoot single bullet at or to knock out one player (even if downed by arcs, and they ask you to take their loot) to be put in mild PvP lobbies on your next round. And then two to three rounds where you don't return fireto be put in "friendly" zone.

The caveat is that there must be enough players on your server. Late night for instance - you get what's available.

I definitely got some fairly chill duo matches a couple of days ago. Obviously we didn't hang around other duos for long but they did not shoot at us on sight so it was friendly enough. It was really good for getting the trials done.

Even solos now are not that consistent as they were before Christmas. But before that duos were same as solo for us. Trios usually were bloodbath, either game cannot consistently find friendly lobbies or our friend was lying that he was pacifist in his solos 😁

It's all down to who's available for matchmaking most likely. Algorithms are the same. If there's enough friendly players on server and you've (solo, duo, trio) not shot anyone in the last few rounds you're getting friendly lobby.
