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.

really fun games the devs suckk though and onlyy get it if u really want it
Paid $60 just to get permanently banned. Never used cheats, never ran hacks, never tried to ruin anyone else's game. I found some duplicated items during a match, and somehow that was enough to lose access to a game I paid for. The funniest part? Actual cheaters get 30-day bans, while people caught up in this mess get permanently banned. Brilliant logic. Support just copy-pastes the same response about "external tools" and refuses to actually investigate anything. It feels like once the system flags you, you're done, whether you cheated or not. If you enjoy spending money on a game where you can lose your account over questionable ban decisions and then get ignored by support, go for it.
As I'm writing this review, it is the first expedition of the 4th I decided not to complete it. Arc Raiders is one of my favorite games from last year and I really really liked it a lot. I would 100% recommend it, if you like extraction shooters and you haven't tried this one, what are you waiting for Raider? It also help me beat my gear fear. (That is my short review of the game, if you are interest in knowing my thoughts behind the game keep on reading) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I used to play Hunt: Showdown a lot even before it got a new map, play it alone or with my friends and brother I really liked the gameplay of HUNT because it was always for me like I'm writing a short story of the cowboy you are playing and it is a short one because he probably died sniped away by another cowboy or killed by the boss monster, maybe burned away because he shot the wrong type of zombie that is in flames (IFYKYK). That was it, you went to a hunt and get the bounty and then you get away, really liked the gameplay loop and many weapons HUNT offered to toy and think strategies with but ARC RAIDERS is on another whole galaxy of content for making stories. When starting to play Arc Raiders I didn't knew what was the Arc and why are we Raiding it, but soon I was thrown into the tutorial and showed me an instance of what could you experience in Arc Raiders, after that it was up to me to do whatever I wanted to do. The moment I fought the Arc I knew the enemy NPCs where smart fellas and not like HUNT which you could just dodge a horde of zombies if you pass by quickly enough. No if you let many Arc surround you is OVER FOR YOU, YOU DO NOT WANT TO HAVE MANY ARC SURROUNDING YOU, NEVER. Who would've thought Arc were smart enough to be more challenging than other Raiders. Maybe when you are in your worst peril someone either shoot you down before the Arc could finish you off or they shoot down the Arc and hit you with a "Hey Raider" that is the moment a new story is born and that was just maybe the beginning of your grand new stories. I have met wonderful and despiteful people in Arc Raiders, I had been a sheriff from once instance of a match, policing around Raider interactions up close or from a far, I also became the most terrifying threat that raiders avoid so they don't lose everything they have collected during the match. I had revived many Raiders and saved their life or I had exterminated a whole lobby of Raiders in Stella Montis during a Night Raid. I feel like I have experienced all the different emotions a Human can have playing this game. The feeling to bring home the most valuable item you had found during a Raid or losing the item you had been wanting to find the most and someone shoots you down without a word. Man that is why I wish there was a PVE only mode and stuff like that wont happen there. Maybe Embark can make new type of challenging Arc and bosses that only would work on coordinated teamplay, that would be cool or you know what else would be cool to make some personalized maps in Arc raiders, maybe Raiders can make some PVP maps to have fun with, but many people don't like the PVP and shooting style of Arc Raiders, I like it is fine for me. But that wont be an Extraction Shooter anymore right? As I'm writing this review I'm just noticed that users in Steam had placed the PVE next to the PVP, are they are trying to spell out PVEVP? but if someone new comes by and thinks Arc Raiders is a PVE they would be for the most part wrong, just as I also thought in the beginning before having knowledge of the "Friendly Lobbies" o "Care bears Lobbies" I never was or will be a "Care bear Raider" well maybe I did just to keep grinding some aspects of the game because you cant really progress or get stuff done being aggressive all the time, maybe you can but I assure you the moment you are done whipping the whole lobby so you can get to do your specific task to do before the timer runs out, I'm already out the raid with more points someone can get as a solo player in Trails and going the next trail. I'm sorry but being aggressive is not the key for me in Arc Raiders, I had more fun, more cool interactions and I was more efficient than trying to eliminate all raider I come by in Stella Montis just to eliminate Shredders all alone. I always tried to complete every single one thing Arc Raiders had for the past 3 expeditions, but as of right now I'm currently on a vacation of sorts, maybe I will come back when the game adds more content because I feel I have seen it all from Arc Raiders, I already written many stories and what I have noticed before I stopped playing is that my stories where repeating themselves and for me it was a sign to have a break and maybe experience new stories in other games. I feel like I already read a good book metaphorically speaking from Arc Raiders and I'm probably going to keep on reading new books as of new games I'm only 3 achievements away to have them all in Arc Raiders. I could finish them but not right now, maybe when the game has something new to offer again I will achieve them. But for now if you are seeing this keep on Raiding Raider and keep having fun in the game.
i got called a nga....
buen juego / good game CTM
Fully loaded locked in, got ratted into my back from a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with free kit, gg ig, im full for pvp but this is not it. Game had insane potential and them devs throwed it from the window. Would not recommend this game at the moment and i dont think they will ever try to fix it.
una basura de juego lleno de hackers , de duplicadores y respows que no sirven donde si o si te vas a hechar la partida de tu via y te van a aparecer dos equipos casualemente al frente y a tu espalda para que te quiebren . jugar pve es monotono y aburre con el tiempo destruir a la reina o la matriarca ya no me generan ni una pizca de emoción . en fin si tienes 40$ y quieres comprarte un dolor de cabeza este es tu juego
pve game disguised as a pvp....
