When you're on your own, the focus shifts toward staying mobile, gathering resources efficiently, and surviving long enough to make each run worthwhile. The goal is to build a setup that feels smooth, adaptable, and reliable even when no teammates...

The choice of weapon in Arc Raiders is the determining factor of how each fight will be, be it a tight corridor or a decision to stand and fight in the open with drones buzzing overhead. The weapon tier list is not merely a question of raw numbers but rather a question of the way each weapon performs in the real world, when it is not in a controlled situation. The most reliable weapons are the...

Dropping into the wasteland can be brutal. One minute you are feeling good, the next you are getting shredded by ARC patrols. It is not always about packing the biggest gun – it is about how you move, think, and react. If you want to make it home in one piece, you have to play smart. You will quickly realise that charging head-on is just asking to get scrapped. Position, timing, and...

For players working toward Scrappy's upgrades, lemons and apricots are key ingredients that power your rooster companion's growth. They don't drop in every match, so you'll need a steady, intentional farming plan across multiple maps to collect enough. These fruits usually appear in lush, nature-heavy zones instead of industrial areas, so learning where to look and building a rhythm into your...

Here’s a quick look at its stats: Ammo type: Shotgun Ammo Magazine size: 6 rounds Firing mode: Semi-automatic Damage per shot: 49.5 Fire rate: 26.3...

The ruined world of Arc Raiders isn’t just visual flair—it directly influences how the game is played. From the moment the title was revealed, players could tell that destruction would be more than a setting. It’s a gameplay mechanic, a storytelling device, and a constant threat all at once. Urban decay defines movement and strategy. Broken staircases, collapsed highways, and...

Mushrooms are one of those small but important resources in ARC Raiders, especially when you're trying to upgrade Scrappy or craft nature-themed items during extraction runs. They don't stand out much, and most of them grow on tree trunks, roots, or fallen logs, so you usually need to slow down and actually scan the environment instead of sprinting past everything ARC Raiders Boosting.
