Not fun

This game is terrible, I’m SO MAD I bought it to try, it is literally the worst game I have ever played in my life. Cheap guns, terrible weapons, glitchy enemies, way too many griefers, and it makes you feel bad when you play. I’m outraged I can’t return it somehow. I will NEVER buy a game from EMBARK again, they are worse than EA and now my most hated “game developer” Thanks for stealing my money!

PvP ruined by rats, toxic players, and poor matchmaking

Game has been ruined by griefers, extraction campers, rats, and sweaties who shoot on sight or pretend to be friendly and backstab. Early on, when there was some ambiguity about other raiders’ intentions, and when ARC was enough of a threat that players were encouraged to team up, the experience was S-tier. Now you can count on being extraction camped in most raids and shot on sight by any other player. Avoid this game, I regret every minute I spent in it after what the toxic player base has turned it into.

PVP ruins the game

I dont know why games like this dont give the option to solo play without other players in your map. The pvp has ruined this game, theres no sense in upgrading weapons or anything when the second you go into a map theres 6 people with nothing better to do camping extraction points and taking all your stuff. I really wanted to like this game but ofcourse with anything else in life other people have to ruin the fun for others... i regret spending 60$ on this ragebait of a game....

Disappointed I can’t enjoy this game

My brother and I bought this game because it looked quite fun from small clips, and reviews were high. Upon playing we found that 95% of the time people will kill you and we cannot progress the missions and/or story. It really is upsetting that there cant be a PVE concept with this game for us to enjoy it. For instance, we crafted some strong weapons and within less that 5 minutes we were killed and lost it all. It has happened numerous times. It’s disheartening that mostly everyone just wants to kill and loot you for no reason really. I am not going to play this game anymore unless a PVE option is applied to this game so I can enjoy it without having to worry about being killed of immediately. If it had option to play PVP or PVE then this game would have been a 5 star but I cannot in all fairness right now do so.

Too much PVP

As a new player, being trounced by the existing players sucks. Loosing everything in the first 2 minutes in not a fun experience. I think the player base will stay where it is. New players will not pay to have zero fun on this game.

ARC Raiders

This game is in one word amazing, it is not some controlled environment that gets stale after a few playthroughs it is a dynamic experience. The robot Ai is the biggest problem for all players but the human aspect like in real life also poses a threat, as freedom of choice means every encounter could be your end. You can't control your experience in life and that is depicted in the game its the wild wild west, most people in the community are chill, but due to everyone being a possible threat if you don't announce yourself expect to be treated as a hostile. This is an incredibly polished game with amazing sound and dynamic weather, with thousands of ways to complete your task which includes using the computer ai as weapons, or extracting without firing a shot. This game shines from all its parts and creates a new experience with each playthrough. Should be GOTY.

Very fun and addicting game.

I play solo and there is very little PVP, which I prefer.. Solo players will help you out, drop you loot and generally do not shoot on sight.. The maps are fun the looting is fine but they need to tone the robots down a bit for solo players. Overall I'd give this game an 8.5/10...

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.
