What is ARC Raiders? In ARC Raiders, you take on the role of a Raider. These are looters who must navigate a dystopian world filled with hostile robots.
Humanity has retreated underground due to the threat, and your task is to gather important resources for the inhabitants, complete quests, and strengthen your Raider – of course, you should not die because this is an extraction shooter.
If you die, you lose all your items in your inventory. This can be frustrating, but thankfully you are not fighting alone. You do not have to start a mission solo, but can traverse the land with friends in a duo or trio squad and loot everything you find.
Be aware that not only robots are your enemies. Other Raiders could also come after you, hunt you down, and, in the worst case, kill and loot you. So be careful whom you trust out there.
