ARC Raiders is a third-person extraction shooter that blends PvP and PvE elements. You’ll play solo or in a team, battling against hostile ARC machines and other players to gather loot and successfully extract. The game emphasizes tactical play, resource management, and survival strategy in dynamic combat zones.
The story takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth ravaged by mechanical enemies known as ARC. Humanity has been forced underground, venturing to the surface—or “topside”—only to scavenge for resources. As a Raider, you’ll explore this ruined world while uncovering the mysteries behind the ARC and the planet’s downfall.
Yes, although the game is built around multiplayer, solo play is fully supported. You can play alone, in duos, or in trios—depending on your preferred playstyle.
A typical raid session lasts around 30 minutes. During that time, you’ll need to collect resources, fight off threats, and reach the extraction point.
ARC Raiders is developed and published by Embark Studios, a Swedish developer also known for the competitive shooter The Finals. The game runs on Unreal Engine 5.
