About ARC Raiders
ARC Raiders drops you into a split world where the surface is patrolled by lethal ARC machines and the underground city of Speranza offers a safe haven. You scavenge, craft, and upgrade gear in your personal workshop before venturing topside, either solo or with up to two companions.
Four launch maps evolve with weather, enemies, and mechanics, ensuring each run feels fresh. Loot can be sold or turned into new weapons, gadgets, and gear, while quests, skill points, and trials let you shape a Raider who thrives amid constant danger.
01 / THE GUIDE
World Exploration
Four distinct maps launch with evolving conditions such as weather, enemies, and mechanics, making each run unique. The surface is scarred by past conflicts and reclaimed by nature, while the underground society expands over time.
Scavenging the remnants yields valuable loot and clues about the world’s history. Noise from combat can attract other Raiders, adding risk to every encounter.
- Move quietly to reduce the chance of drawing other Raiders.
- Check weather changes; they can affect enemy behavior.

Crafting & Workshop
In your personal workshop you can craft, repair, and upgrade gear using scavenged materials and ARC parts. Upgrading stations and learning blueprints unlocks more advanced items.
Improvised field fixes let you survive tight spots, while selling loot for coin provides resources for further crafting.
- Prioritize upgrading workshop stations early for better gear.
- Sell excess loot to fund blueprint research.
03 / THE GUIDE
Skill Tree
The skill tree splits into Survival, Mobility, and Conditioning paths. Points spent on Survival speed up loot gathering and quiet movement. Mobility improves evasion and traversal, while Conditioning boosts strength and stamina.
Choosing a path tailors your Raider’s playstyle and influences how you handle combat and exploration.
- Invest in Survival for quieter scavenging.
- Balance Mobility and Conditioning for tougher fights.
04 / THE GUIDE
Combat & Machines
ARC machines dominate the surface, ranging from drone swarms to giant mechanical foes. Each type has distinct strengths and tactics, requiring you to find weak spots and adapt quickly.
Noise from battles can alert other Raiders, turning combat into a contested scramble for loot.
- Study each machine’s pattern before engaging.
- Use grenades or traps to exploit weak points.
05 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer & Co‑op
Play solo or in parties of up to three, sharing the threat of ARC machines and rival Raiders. Co‑op allows coordinated scavenging and combat, while PvP encounters can arise from noisy engagements.
Cross‑platform multiplayer, full controller support, and Steam achievements round out the online experience.
- Communicate with teammates to split loot efficiently.
- Watch for other Raiders listening to battle noise.
