Overview
- Polygon’s review calls Arc Raiders “a once-in-a-generation multiplayer shooter” and says it could do for extraction shooters what Fortnite did for battle royales.
- The reviewer reports that trader quests reward items but no XP, contributing to slow leveling even after significant playtime.
- Solo players are kept out of raids with duos or squads, and proximity voice chat is encouraging cooperative encounters in early play according to the review.
- Nerd’s Chalk has published a consolidated guide hub spanning weapons, maps, skills, equipment, quests, keys, and redeem codes to help players navigate the game.
- Developed and published by Embark Studios, the PvPvE extraction shooter launched on Oct. 30, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, pitting raiders against ARC machines and rival players.
