FAQs
Can I play ARC Raiders solo?
While the game is designed for co-op play, it is possible to attempt missions solo, though it is significantly more difficult due to the emphasis on team-based objectives.
What happens if I die during a mission?
In true extraction fashion, dying usually results in the loss of the loot and gear you brought into that specific session.
Is ARC Raiders a PvP or PvE game?
It is both. You must contend with AI-controlled ARC forces while also competing or interacting with rival human player squads in the same map.
What is the primary objective of a mission?
The primary objective is to scavenge valuable resources and successfully extract from the area before the timer runs out.
Does the game support controller inputs on PC?
Yes, ARC Raiders supports controller input for players who prefer a gamepad over keyboard and mouse.
