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.

Do NOT buy ARC Raiders. The game is filled with cheaters, and it completely ruins the experience. Fair players are constantly punished while cheaters continue to destroy matches and make progression feel pointless. Losing hours of progress and valuable loot because of unfair gameplay is unacceptable. Until the cheating problem is properly addressed, I cannot recommend this game to anyone. Save your money.
The game was great at the start, but then the devs just continued to enshittify the game. They had such a great foundation and just chose to tear it all down for literally nothing.
Tarkov is way better
Game absolutely sucks now, complete waste of time. No one plays the actual game anymore, strictly PVP only players left. Riddled with cheaters.
Чудесная игра, которая превратилась в полный кусок не играбельного дерьма (в ПВП) из-за абдуллахов с нулевыми профилями стима которые всегда знают где ты и стреляют только в голову, на утубе куча роликов как эти сыны своих матерей играют с читами по 800 часов на акках без бана, каждый день приходят письма о банах типов которых репортишь, иногда даже возвращают шмотки, но какой в этом смысл если я захожу играть а не коллекционировать лут. В КАЖДОЙ КАТКЕ ЕСТЬ ЧИТЕРЫ
This game used to be good but the devs have completely gone on vacation. It is like they have left 1 intern in charge. They have no care to listen to any player feedback and their singular focus is making random skins and trying to push their other game the finals.
I understand that this is mostly a PVP game. I get it. Trust me, I really do. But, the players who dont PVP and just want PVE - dont stand a chance.
Игре нужен ПВЕ режим, людей задолбало встречать в каждой игре ПВП игроков, которые только мешают, от классной игры. В игре буквально нет ни одной механики, которая бы поощряла ПВП, кроме лута. Ну да, поздравляю получи ферро 1 уровня и 40 тяжелых пуль с меня, который просто побежал выполнить квестик.
I can't believe this game has the audacity to use the "Online Co-op" tag when it is really just online PVP with the "option" to not shoot back. The matchmaking may put you in lobbies according to your play-style, so if you don't attack others your games will get more and more peacefull. BUT one PvP player on a server is enough to ruin your experience, because should you decide to shoot back your ranking for the next matchmakling will swing a little bit towards PvP. This means you will encounter more PvP etc etc. So if you decide to just let others shoot you (so it does not affect your PvE ranking) you are basically free loot for them...Yay! Great game design! tl;dr: If you are looking for a co-op game where you can go looting and shooting with your friends without having to fight other players then don't bother with this one.
This game rocked when you could get in and team up with people. Shootouts happened, and that was fine. You'd say GG or do some ♥♥♥♥ talking after and all was well. These days are totally over. It's shoot on sight, and no one will comm to you even when they kill you. Why are tthese people even playing? If you're not gonna talk go play a game with bots. The community has ruined this game and I would no longer recommend it.
