INSIDE ARC RAIDERS
What survives the trip back?
ARC Raiders makes equipment a stake in each expedition. A better loadout can help you take on harder threats, but the value of a run depends on returning to Speranza with its rewards. Shorter, cautious routes and ambitious scavenging trips both have a place.
Topside extraction
Loot is useful only if you make it home. Explore the Rust Belt's ruins while ARC machines and rival Raiders move through the same space. Changing weather and map conditions alter the dangers you face. Gunfire can solve an immediate problem while drawing attention to your position, so finding an escape route matters as much as finding valuable materials.
Workshop and trader quests
Turn recovered parts into the next loadout. Back in Speranza, sell supplies or use them to repair and craft equipment. Workshop upgrades and blueprints open more advanced items, while trader quests give expeditions specific objectives. This creates a reason to revisit familiar places with a different goal instead of treating every match as a hunt for eliminations.
A Raider built around your tactics
Develop survival, mobility or conditioning. Skill points let you specialize in quieter scavenging, movement or physical endurance. Weapons, armor and gadgets further shape the risk you can handle: a zipline creates a route, a mine protects an approach, and a different firearm changes your effective range. Your build supports how you choose to move through contested ground.
