How to Escape When Surrounded in ARC Raiders?
Oct 22, 2026
Most of the people who die in ARC Raiders aren't bad shots, they're the ones who refuse to run. A few ARC machines lock onto them, or two squads of players pinch them in, and their first instinct is to turn and fight, and then everything in their backpack

ARC Raiders Vaporizer Laser: How to Survive It?
Oct 15, 2026
The cheapest way to die in ARC Raiders is getting vaporized by a single laser from the Vaporizer. It's not like the other ARC machines, it doesn't charge you, it locks a laser onto your head and sets the floor on fire, and the first time most people meet

ARC Raiders: Should You Fight Back When an ARC Is Chasing You?
Oct 8, 2026
When I first picked up ARC Raiders, I had a habit: the moment a machine locked onto me, I'd spin around and fight, thinking running away was cowardly. The usual result was winning the fight against the machine, then getting dropped a second later by a pla

How Do You Survive the Vaporizer's Laser Attack in ARC Raiders?
Sep 22, 2026
The first time I ran into a Vaporizer in the Flashpoint update, my entire brain was one sentence: how do you dodge this laser. That beam looks slow, but it tracks you, your shield lasts maybe a few seconds in front of it, and the second you hesitate you'r

How to Take Down the Heavy Assault Mech in ARC Raiders?
Sep 16, 2026
The first time I ran into a heavy assault mech in ARC Raiders, I figured I could just pour fire into it and gun it down. A full magazine into its front plate later, it felt like I'd been tickling it, and it spun around and shredded me with its gatling gun

ARC Raiders Solo or Squad: Which One Suits You Better?
Sep 8, 2026
The thing I agonized over most in ARC Raiders was whether to queue solo or with a squad. Squad up and you're splitting the loot and making enough noise to pull other teams into a fight; go solo and you die out of nowhere and come back empty-handed after a

ARC Raiders: How to Choose Your Shield Level?
Sep 1, 2026
There's something really counterintuitive about ARC Raiders: a higher shield tier doesn't mean you'll live longer. I used to think the heavy shield was the safest bet, loaded up with a 120-charge monster, and then got flanked and emptied out before I coul

ARC Raiders: Which Survival Skills Are Must-Picks?
Aug 25, 2026
The thing that stings most about ARC Raiders is burning skill points on the wrong skills back when I was starting out. Sure, you can respec now, but it costs Coins per point. A full reset at max level runs around 150,000 Coins, and that's a fortune early

ARC Raiders: How to Get Out When You're Surrounded?
Aug 18, 2026
Getting surrounded is a feeling you'll know well. Gunfire comes at you from two directions at once, your shield bar is draining in the top corner, and you're crouched behind cover with your brain screaming "just fight it out." But the biggest difference b

ARC Raiders Raider Hatch Key: How to Get and Use It?
Aug 11, 2026
You're crouched behind cover near the extraction point, your backpack stuffed with top-tier attachments from a full raid of scavenging, and you can hear footsteps in the distance — more than one squad's worth. Anyone who's played ARC Raiders knows exactly
