ARC Raiders redefines the extraction shooter genre, delivering a visually stunning and intensely strategic third-person survival experience from the visionary team at Embark Studios (creators of The Finals). Set in a lethal future Earth ravaged by a mysterious mechanized threat known as ARC, players assume the role of Raiders—scavengers fighting for survival in the underground colony of Speranza. Unlike traditional shooters, ARC Raiders emphasizes physics-based combat, creative gadgetry, and a high-stakes loop where you must scavenge vital resources on the surface while evading ruthless machines and rival player squads.

Departing from the free-to-play model originally planned, this premium release delivers a polished, high-fidelity experience without pay-to-win mechanics. Powered by next-generation technology, the game renders the haunting beauty of the "Rust Belt" with breathtaking detail, challenging players to work together—or betray one another—to escape with their loot before the extraction window closes.

Key Features

Intense PvPvE Extraction Gameplay

• Engage in a three-way conflict where you must battle not only the relentless, physics-driven ARC machines but also rival Raider squads vying for the same loot.

• Experience high-stakes "extraction" mechanics: scavenge for medicine, weapon parts, and tech on the surface, then signal for extraction to secure your gains—or lose everything if you fall.

• Master unique extraction options, including Universal Extraction Points and special "Hatch Keys" that allow for safer, stealthier escapes away from hot zones.

Physics-Based Combat & Creative Traversal

• Utilize a diverse arsenal of WW2-era retro-fitted weapons and futuristic gadgets, including ziplines, jump pads, and grenade launchers that interact dynamically with the environment.

• Leverage the game’s destruction and physics engine to topple structures onto enemies, use smoke to obscure vision, or flank opponents using verticality and speed.

• Employ the "downed state" mechanics strategically—you can still extract while downed if your squad manages to get you to the elevator, keeping hope alive until the very last second.

The ARC Threat: Relentless Machine Enemies

• Face off against a terrifying array of ARC machines, from small swarming drones to colossal, building-sized walkers that require coordinated team fire to bring down.

• Adapt to enemies that learn and respond to your tactics, forcing you to constantly change strategies and use the environment to your advantage.

• Survive dynamic world events where ARC dropships deploy reinforcements, turning quiet looting runs into chaotic warzones in an instant.

Deep Progression & Base Building

• Return to the underground colony of Speranza to trade loot, upgrade your quarters, and customize your Raider's loadout and appearance.

• Complete contracts for traders to unlock specialized gear, crafting recipes, and cosmetic items that showcase your status as a veteran Raider.

• Manage a "safe pocket" inventory system that allows you to keep crucial small items even upon death, mitigating the frustration of total loss.
