ARC Raiders Progression Explained: Best Early Skills and a Proven Solo Build

New guides steer players toward stamina-focused Mobility upgrades for safer, faster runs.

Overview

  • Reporters detail a three-branch skill system with about 45 skills across Conditioning, Mobility, and Survival, most offering five upgrade ranks.
  • Early investment in Mobility is widely recommended, with Marathon Runner and Youthful Lungs flagged as top picks to overcome restrictive early-game stamina.
  • Survival and Conditioning highlights include Used to the Weight, Broad Shoulders, Looter's Instincts and Looter's Luck, plus In-Round Crafting for field-made items and Security Breach for locked loot access.
  • Higher-tier perks are point-gated within trees, with examples such as Carry the Momentum requiring 15 Mobility points and Security Breach unlocking at 36 Survival points.
  • Destructoid outlines a solo build through level 50 that leans on Mobility and Survival, proposes end-node targets like Security Breach or Back on Your Feet, and notes a launch level cap of 75.
