ARC Raiders

ARC Raiders is a survival game in which you venture from the underground society of Speranza to a surface ruled by lethal machines. You scavenge a devastated world, craft and upgrade gear, and decide how far you will go to prevail. You can play solo or in a party of up to three, facing both ARC machines and the unpredictable choices of other Raiders.

The world above

At launch, you can explore four distinct maps. Each bears the marks of a world destroyed twice and of conflicts old and new. You search the remnants for valuable loot and clues to the past as nature reclaims them. Changing weather, enemies and mechanics make each run different.

Build your Raider

Loot can be sold for coin or crafted into gear. You gain experience through victories and hardships, and unlock skills that open up different ways to play. In Speranza, Traders send you on quests tied to their own motives and agendas. Completing them earns gear, crafting materials and XP to level up your Raider and unlock skill points, while revealing more about the Traders and what they want for Speranza’s future.

The skill tree has three paths: Survival, Mobility and Conditioning. Survival skills help you loot faster and move more quietly; Mobility helps you outmaneuver opponents and threats; Conditioning enhances your Strength and Stamina. You choose how to develop your Raider and what to bring into battle.

Crafting and equipment

In the safety of your workshop, you craft, repair and upgrade gear. Raiders use scavenged materials, long-lost technology and looted ARC parts to make weapons, gadgets and equipment. You can upgrade workshop stations and learn blueprints to craft more advanced items, or improvise quick fixes in the field.

Your arsenal includes SMGs, rifles, shotguns, railguns and energy weapons. Grenades, traps, ziplines and deployables give you tactical options, while augments tailor your loadout with dedicated inventory slots and additional gameplay perks.

Machines and other Raiders

ARC machines range from relentless drone swarms to mechanical giants that can obliterate everything in their path. Their origins are a mystery, and each type has its own strengths and tactics. You must find their weak spots and adapt, while remembering that the noise of battle can attract other Raiders looking to claim what you leave behind.

You can also test your skill against other Raiders in Trials, climb the leaderboards and earn rewards.
