Survive dangerous extraction runs on the surface
ARC Raiders is a PvPvE extraction shooter focused on scavenging, survival and high-risk expeditions. From the underground city of Speranza, you head to the surface in search of valuable resources, abandoned technology and anything that can help you return stronger after each run.
- Extraction-based looter shooter with high-risk, high-reward gameplay.
- Face machine threats, dangerous environments and other players during each expedition.
- Play solo or team up in co-op groups of up to three players.
- Persistent progression built around crafting, upgrades and successful extractions.
Scavenge, extract and make every decision count
Every run is built around risk and reward. Search for supplies, choose when to avoid conflict, decide when to fight and make it back before losing what you found. The surface is unpredictable, so timing, awareness and smart movement can be just as important as firepower.
- Search for resources, gear and hidden story elements across the surface.
- Decide whether to extract safely or push deeper for better rewards.
- Balance stealth, combat and survival when threats close in.
- Adapt your strategy depending on your loot, team and surrounding danger.
Dynamic maps and changing conditions
ARC Raiders sends you into varied environments where each expedition can unfold differently. Weather, enemy behavior, map activity and other players can change the pace of a run, creating tense moments where no route feels completely safe.
- Explore multiple maps with distinct layouts, hazards and objectives.
- React to dynamic conditions, events and shifting enemy presence.
- Use the environment to hide, reposition or escape from danger.
- Learn routes, extraction points and risky areas over repeated runs.
Fight ARC machines and rival raiders
The surface is controlled by ARC machines, from smaller drones to heavier mechanical threats. Other raiders can also become a danger, turning every encounter into a tactical choice: avoid, negotiate, ambush or engage before they do.
- Face different ARC machine types with varied attack patterns and threat levels.
- Use weapons, gadgets and tactical tools to survive hostile encounters.
- Prepare for unpredictable fights against both AI enemies and other players.
- Choose when to stay quiet and when to commit to combat.
Craft, upgrade and prepare between runs
Progression continues between expeditions. Use scavenged materials to craft equipment, improve your tools, upgrade your workshop and unlock new ways to approach future runs. A better setup can make the difference between returning with valuable loot or losing everything on the surface.
- Craft weapons, tools and gear using materials found during runs.
- Upgrade your workshop and unlock advanced blueprints.
- Complete missions and tasks to earn rewards and progress further.
- Develop your character through a skill system with multiple paths.
- Build loadouts that match your preferred playstyle and risk level.
