- We numerically study the collective dynamics of dense particle assemblies driven by non-reciprocal pairwise forces of amplitude $κ$. At a critical value $κ_{\rm c}$, the system undergoes a dynamical phase transition from an absorbing state ($κ< κ_{\rm c}$) to a chaotic steady state ($κ> κ_{\rm c}$). The chaotic phase is marked by nontrivial spatiotemporal velocity correlations and mixing, reminiscent of active turbulence in self-propelled systems. The sharp onset of chaos shows critical scaling consistent with the universality class of directed percolation. We argue that this transition is generic to a broad class of locally-driven, dense disordered materials.
