ARC Raiders Beginner Guides
Essential tips for new players
Core Goals (First 10 Hours)
Learn movement, resource loop, safe extraction routes, and basic combat. Prioritize survival and consistent extractions over high-value fights.
Essential Settings
Tune sensitivity/ADS, enable performance mode, clear motion blur, adjust audio for directional awareness.
Progression Loop
Enter → loot safely → avoid third-parties → extract; reinvest into utility (stims, armor plates, throwables) before chasing weapon upgrades.
Common Mistakes
Over-looting, tunnel vision on fights, extracting late, ignoring audio/verticality, not resetting when out-positioned.
