Unplayable PVP - No refunds

This game, per my experience, is players loot items and upgrade them, grind, grind, grind until they have a decent loadout, then the game's AI either cheats and downs you or RAT players kill you and take your stuff. That's the whole game. Lots of bugs, quests don't complete, and players don't follow the rules about PVP etiquette. The game cheats and players cheat more. Its pointless to try. The game does not allow refunds even though it has issues so only buy if you are willing to throw money away. Because you will quit this game after 1 day.

Arc Raiders

Bought the game probably about three days ago the Deluxe Edition. I actually really enjoyed the game. My husband and I play it together and have a great time but their latest update is causing a horrible glitch for all the players on the map just to try to make it to exfil.. has been horrible. It’s like you can’t move. You’re getting pushed around the map super glitchy. I don’t know what’s going on, but please fix it. It’s causing us to loose a lot of our good stuff. We at least deserve some of our guns back. If not everything I know you can’t do it for everyone, but.. these are some of the worst glitches I’ve ever seen in a game

So. Many. Cheaters.

Interesting game, but so many cheaters which makes it unplayable. I wish I had never bought it. COD, yes COD, does a better job with cheaters than this game.

Tarkov knockoff

If you love the sweaty grind of Tarkov you’ll love Arc Raiders.

PVP is wrecking this game for a lot of people

I really love this game and the PVE community. The PVP community kills it for me though. So toxic. I don't want to fight other players. I don't want to play a whole game only to have some person shoot me in the back when I'm searching a drawer. I want to get in a PVE lobby with other players, have the ability to squad up, and do quests and share items and information. Fight arcs together. This game really needs a PVE only mode with 20 player lobbies. Some trader stations for POI's would be great too. A place where raiders can meet up and swap blueprints, guns, or other in game items. I don't understand why embark refuses to do a PVE mode. It's so annoying. And the agressive based match making doesn't work. It doesn't work at all. Doesn't matter if you never shoot anyone. Someone will shoot you and kill you. It's a little better in solo, but in duos and trios you get shot constantly, even if you don't shoot back. So that means I can't get online with my friends or family if I want to play because we'll just die constantly. Embark, do a PVE mode! I only have so many more times of dying to some toxic PVP player and losing all my stuff before I retire this game.

SCAVENGE, SURVIVE, THRIVE

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 AN IMMERSIVE WORLD

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.

STAKE YOUR CLAIM

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.

BEWARE THE MACHINES

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.

FORGE YOUR OWN PATH

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.

QUESTS

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.

SKILL TREE

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.

BUILD YOUR ARSENAL

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 additional gameplay perks.
