Rats and unfriendliness

So many times, that I have logged in and have met a rat and an unfriendly. Its frustrating when you have looted so much loot that totals to about 60,000 - 80,000 and you lose it. I don't like this game for that reason that they act nice and then stun you with a grenade and then shoot you. You need to have PVE or PVP only so that they can be with their own kind. I don't want to work so hard and then have someone snatch it all away, for why, it's not fair. Please give people back their loot and time with giving us the PVE only lobby and then you will see better postings. I am not happy with your gaming ideas with this, and it needs to change ASAP or you will lose people from playing this game.

People Are Fickle

Great game. people get mad when there's not 500+ hours of content. Welcome to 2026. Best sound design ever released. There's some things i would change but over all, amazing game.

Needs serious changes.

This game is too toxic. For the people that work a lot and would like to play this game for the PvE can because of the toxic environment created by basement dwelling 40 year olds. Streamers have stopped playing because of hacker and stream sniping problems. Like we should be able to just have fun with the game. There is a mechanic in the game that prove we can have it. Just the laziness of embark shows by not pulling through. All we need is the ability to have a PvE only match making switch. Just like the fill switch on the squads. We can’t kill out teammates when we squad up so that shows me it’s possible. The PvE switch I’m referring to like the fill switch would simple just turn on friendly fire across the board. Meaning you can only join games that are friendly fire enabled. Such a simple task. Ask by so many but overlooked by the few that simply just want to make the money off the game when googling the game it says it’s free to play extraction shooter and that to me is a form of misinformation and fraudulent advertising. So embark just do better… the people have been asking. We would’ve rather had a fix to the PvP problem then a new map with all the same problems.

Toxic

Careful as there's a toxic community that just camp while you're just trying to do the missions. Matchmaking is not good as even if you go in solo you stand the likelihood of getting taken out by a sq uad. There should be a separate pvp vs pve. The extract camping is a bonus that this game features. No wonder people are leaving. Additionally, if you're looking for a game where people can call you racist names with 0 accountability by ARC or PlayStation this is the game for you.

Not worth the money

Don't bother buying the game unless you like having rat players sneak up and kill you while you looting. The server are broken because they just love putting the PvP players with the PvE players. I literally play one game and after getting killed by rats I just log out. Definitely won't be playing this game ever again.

Don't listen to the haters.

The people complaining about PvP are probably shooting back and then blaming the game for PvP lobbies. The only time I get PvP people in the lobby it is the ones who couldn't handle PvP like they thought they could so they surrender a bunch to come shoot people in the back. If you are friendly it stays pretty friendly but you can't shoot back. (Even if they shot you first) Is it the best game? No, but if you have an imagination instead of just being quest focused this game can be amazing with the friendly lobbies

This game sucks!

From the start, this game sucks. I don't really know what else to say other than spend your money somewhere else.

Lagging

Constantly bringing over $100,000 worth of loot just to lose it to lagging out reconnecting dying into a fireball which doesn’t make sense if we lag out of the game our players should be like indestructible almost like a barrier should be put around them for lagging out we shouldn’t be able to take damage because we’re lagging out of the game because the game can’t handle it

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.
