A Mile Wide and an Inch Deep

After 600 hours I'm ready to say that I've gotten my moneys worth, but it has also left me totally empty in the end. Without PvE-only options, you'll be shot in the back enough times to realize that the game only rewards the most toxic PvP in the end. The grind leads to nothing. Their aggression matchmaking only works a bit, but no matter how nice you play, you still get plenty of PvP lobbies, often when you need the nice ones the most (for Trials, the only endgame.) And if you're solo, don't bother with Trials. You can't compete. You can queue in with other people, but once again you'll get PvP'd while trying to do them. That feeling of staying up until 1:00am for the map condition you need for a Trial- only to get PvP'd on extract is proof that the devs clearly want you to suffer. They made it this way. It's all for nothing in the end. A game with the most potential in years all thrown away by a toxic player base that the devs have fostered. And they have fostered it; daily rewards for PvP, and every incentive to be the one who shoots first, and no punishment for it. No real escape for those of us who just want to fight only the Arc. If you play the game how the devs clearly intend you to, it's an empty 3rd person PvP shooter game. The loot means nothing, you'll just loot other bodies. Rinse and repeat. So why not just go play a full PvP game? At least then it's a fair fight. And that's the bottom-line, there is no element of this game that ever feels fair. To win you have to be the first to shoot when someone is looting or being attacked by Arc. Even winning feels empty. I don't feel like gunning down someone picking fruit, so I'm done.

Legendary Adventures in a Post Apocalyptic Fallout-like world

ARC Raiders is an amazing and incredibly fun game, absolutely worth the money! The maps, gameplay, design, and challenges are wonderful. Multiplayer is definitely the best, but the more people you play with, the more violent the lobbies. While people can be dangerous, and very annoying sometimes, the lobbies are based on aggression. Be peaceful, find peace!

Separate PVPVE vs PVE

I’m getting so tired of just getting shot in the back out of nowhere trying to run around and do missions and fight arc. Please offer separate experiences. Don’t get me wrong, PVPVE is fun when that’s what you want to do but having options would be nice when you just want to casually enjoy the environment and Arc Enemies.

PvP is killing the game

Due to the increased PvP in the game there has been over a 36.8% drop in players. This will not get any better unless they separate PvE and Pvp lobbies. The game is legit unplayable due to this factor alone. There nothing like grinding 100s of hours into the game just to be killed by rat players with a free loadout and dont work for what they have. All most people are trying to do is complete missions, accomplish tasks, and get good loot to kill arcs. If players want to kill players then they can have there own game mode. I guarantee PvP lobbies will be significantly less than PvE lobbies.

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

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.
