About
In ARC Raiders, gameplay flows between the surface ruled by lethal machines, and the vibrant underground society of Speranza. Craft, repair, and upgrade your gear in the safety of your own workshop, before venturing topside to scavenge the remnants of a devastated but beautiful world. Play solo or in parties up to three, navigating the constant threat of ARC's machines and the unpredictable choices of fellow survivors. In the end, only you decide what kind of Raider you are - and how far you’ll go to prevail.
Explore four distinct maps at launch, with more to be revealed as the underground society evolves and expands its reach. Each destination carries the weight of a world twice-destroyed, and the scars of conflicts both old and new. Sift through the remnants for valuable loot, and piece together the past as it's slowly reclaimed by nature. Evolving map conditions ensure that no two runs are the same, with varying weather, enemies, and mechanics adding unpredictability and danger.
In a society built on boldness and bravado, it is up to you to stake your claim as a Raider. The loot you scavenge can be sold for coin or crafted into all-new gear, allowing you take on increasingly lethal dangers head-on. Through both victories and hardships, you'll gain valuable experience; unlocking varied skills that enable all-new ways of play. In addition, you'll complete quests for Traders with differing motives and agendas; uncovering both the friction and comradery of a community under constant threat of collapse.
Lethal machines known as ARC rule the surface, ranging from unrelenting drone swarms to mechanical giants that obliterate everything in their path. Their origins remain a mystery, but their ever-present danger is felt with every step you take. Each machine comes with distinct strengths and tactics, forcing you to pinpoint their weak spots and constantly think on your feet. And remember: the noise of battle carries. Other Raiders may be listening; eager to claim what you leave behind.
Raiders survive by kitbashing scavenged materials; using long-lost tech and looted ARC parts to craft weapons, gadgets, and gear. Upgrade your workshop stations and learn blueprints to craft even more advanced items, or improvise quick fixes in the field to get yourself out of a bind. As you make a name for yourself, you'll be able to measure your skill against other Raiders by taking on Trials; rising through the leaderboards to earn valuable rewards.
In Speranza, everyone has an agenda, and the Traders are no different. They’ll send you topside on missions in exchange for rewards, slowly revealing more about who they are and what they want for Speranza’s future. Complete quests to earn gear, crafting materials, and XP to level up your Raider and unlock new skill points.
The ARC Raiders skill tree branches into three paths: Survival, Mobility, and Conditioning. Spend your points to shape your playstyle. Loot faster and move quieter with Survival skills. Outmaneuver your opponents and threats with Mobility. And enhance your Strength and Stamina with Conditioning. Choose how you grow and what your Raider brings to the battle.
Whether you’re preparing to take down specific ARC enemies or fend off rival Raiders, there's a choice of weaponry for every fight. Cater to your style with a range of firearms including SMGs, rifles and shotguns, as well as more advanced options such as railguns and energy weapons. Grenades, traps, ziplines and deployables offer the tactical depth needed to outsmart your enemies, while augments allow you to tailor your loadout to your preferred playstyle; unlocking dedicated inventory slots and additional gameplay perks.

Reviews
you had to be there at launch to find this game enjoyable, now it's a dumpster fire of bad decisions from the devs.
It's a great game with a lot of potential. Cheaters have killed this game. Developers don't care. I do not recommend buying it.
While generally fun when it was released, game is a wasteland of cheaters. I'll deal with rats, buggy maps, and etc. But the fact they don't have a system in place to punish and detect cheaters is wild.
I recently bought this game after watching a bunch of videos and finally biting the bullet to give it a go since it looked amazing, was reviewed amazingly and what not. But honestly? I think this game has some of the worst cheating in a shooter... and it feels awful to play when you are constantly running into people cheating. My last game that I played, I had a guy on my team called "ICheatMommy" telling us that he was cheating and that he could see every player on the map, running around murdering everyone and then yelling at the enemies telling them to "Shut up ♥♥♥♥♥, I am cheating" on a brand new steam account. Like how does that get past even a single game??? I have had items refunded to me through the systems ban system, from encountering cheaters multiple times... While I appreciate the sentiment, my experience was already ruined. I also joined right when a dupe exploit was found and every single person I have run into has an obscene amount of bombs and what not... and players are just like "Oh yeah don't worry about it, they just used the dupe exploit last week" I do have other things about the game that I truly dont like - like how many items their are to gather and how limited the inventory space is. How the balance of the higher tier guns are out of whack, once you have them it feels broken. The toxicity of some players (pretty normal in shooters). But none of these are truly game breaking in my opinion, they are just minor negatives in my opinion. It truly does suck because the games gunplay is phenomenal, the graphics are quite amazing for a shooter and the map design is unparalleled. Performance is also quite amazing, but that really is quite normal with shooters. When I was having fun, I was having a LOT of fun. But more often then not the game left me frustrated and annoyed because of cheaters and the negatives I listed above.
I really enjoyed this game. I enjoyed fighting the arc and helping others but the message I get over and over again is that I am playing this game wrong. if I am not shooting other raiders then I am not playing correctly. I was trying to have fun but I guess choosing this game to do so was a mistake.
Изменю обзор когда добавят PVE режим как в THE FINALS
我慢してやっていたが、PVP部分が不快だし必要ない。PVE専の人にはおすすめしません。
Overhyped pos game. I knew it from release but still fell for the hype trap. never again.
Ein hervorragendes Spiel in dem man unzählige Stunden verbringen kann. Allerdings ist die Situation mit Hackern, Bugs und Exploits welche ausgenutzt werden so verheerend dass eine Empfehlung einer Arglistigen Täuschung gleich kommen würde.
Мертвая игра для читеров и дюперов.
