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.

The game used to be fun, but Embark doesn't listen to their player base. Their motto "If it is easy we will make it harder, if it is too hard deal with it". The game is turning to trash, player base has dropped, and honestly if you haven't bought the game yet, then don't unless it is on sale for $10, because honestly that is all this game is worth now.
very hard to play and players use cheats
Everything I get excited about becomes disappointing. There was one time, one of my teammate team up with others then attack and kill me. I followed them for few minutes via team camera to confirm they did built a private team of 4. Not to mention other ridiculous behaviour in this game.
ass
ゲーム内でクエストやトライアルを達成するためにarc(npc)と戦う必要があるのですが、このゲームはpvpゲームでもあるわけですので同じマップ内にいるプレイヤーから目立つわけですね、そうなるとプレイヤーから急襲されるリスクが高まるわけです。何度か横槍を刺されてぶちころがされたことがあります。このような死に方をするとストレスが非常にたまります。なのでpveオンリーモードを追加して欲しいです。または、それにかわるような調整を希望したいです。
a lot of hackers ... not worth it
came back after a few months, and quit after 4 rounds. The game is still boring with no change to make endgame content feel rewarding, and the toxic backstabbing stitchers are still present and irritating. Just not gonna bother wasting time on this game anymore. 50% review makes sense.
People are dig heads...betrayal is not fun. Nope
Under no circumstance should you assume the "aggression biased match making" works. It does not. Regardless of how many players i help or how many times i work together with others in solo or duo, the moment i play trio lobbies I'm immediately put into a war zone. This subsequently tanks my solo and duo ratings so every lobby is a war zone. Really don't understand why thats the case when I've never shot at another player even in self defense. So the game itself is good, gun play is good but since they aren't faithful with how they advertise their game and market it i can't recommend the game. If you are planning on not engaging in PVP you should not play this game.
Only new to this game.. i didnt mind the pvp side of it until today... was trying to take on the matriarch and got killed by a duo in WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A SOLO SERVER.. my settings are for solo servers only why did i get put into duos? i never shoot at other players on sight so why do i keep getting put in aggresive pvp servers? These are all reasons why i tell people to avoid downloading this game. Devs need to bring in a pve type game even markers for people who are more into pvp, so we can be ready to interact with aggressive players (have a gun out ready to defend myself instead of being shot in the back).
