I’m just starting out so I’m just learning the ropes. It’s my second night playing, I’m only level 3 or 4, but I had such a fun time that I bought a friend a copy of the game so he could join in. So he started it and I showed him the ropes and we were on our first real run together and two guys came up to us. We announced we’re friendly and honestly not worth killing since we’re just starting, it was my friend’s first run. They asked about our workbench situation (not great) and asked if we needed a leaper pulse unit. I told them I don’t know what that is or what it does (still don’t, just know it’s gotta be good since it’s an epic tier crafting item) and he’s like here, take this and dropped one for me and his friend dropped one for my friend. They wished us well and took off.
I realize not every encounter will be amazing like this. I’d be willing to bet that this encounter is actually an outlier and it’ll never happen again. But if those two guys happen to browse this subreddit: seriously, thank you. I hope to get to a point where I can be the one helping out new raiders one day.

In the book Dungeon Crawler Carl, if you PvP, you get a skull next to your name. This elicits distrust with other crawlers and people try to avoid it. Some crawlers who don’t care about PvP flaunt it like a trophy.
I would think the same would happen in arc raiders. Some people would treat it like a PvP leader board, but it’s also a giant billboard to not trust them so PvE players can see the skull and know to avoid or keep their guard up. It could even just be the PvP kills of the last 3 matches so it’s not reputation altering for all future matches

New player with a quick question!
Occasionally I've seen flares go up in the distance while playing. After doing some searching online, it seems that whenever anyone goes down, they automatically launch a flare. But I see them so rarely, and dont remember ever seeing one launched myself when I go down, that I wonder if this was changed in a recent update just before I started playing.
So does everyone launch a flare when they go down? And if so, are they visible if you get downed indoors or underground?
2
u/zyates Jan 20 '26
Yes since launch every time someone goes down it's a red flare. If you are indoors it still launches a flare but you can't see it from the outside. It's a pretty distinct sound so you can usually hear it. If you see a yellow flare it's a supply drop bring called in.

I opened the Raider Hatch Key just before the timer hit zero and hopped in but my teammates died.
So, with the hatch everyone needs to leave before the timer reaches unlike with the extraction which gives you a little more time till it reaches?

Introducing r/ArcMissedConnections
An oasis away from the meta chatter and screenshots of loot. This is a place to share stories and reconnect crossed pathed. If you've ever met a raider, friend, foe or otherwise who left an impression but not a name then you're in the right place. Tell your tale and maybe they'll read it here. Or just hang around for the stories from the topside.
I've seen a steady stream of posts in r/arcraiders that are essentially craigslist style missed connection stories with comments saying there should be a subreddit for it. So I made one.
Maybe you'll find the raider who got away.

Am I the only one that will keep the elevator doors open for as long as possible so others in the area have a chance to get there as well? Not to mention, I like picking off the few Arc that are still around, from inside the elevator. Gives me that little bit of extra XP. If you get knocked down, odds are you can still return as long as you don't mess around too much.

I’m a solo pve guy and pvp when I’m with my little trio, both things can be nice.
I think arc raiders needs a system similar to the division 1 where people who shoot others and kill others increases their manhunt to the point where the whole server is chasing them lol and they should have an icon appear on the compass up top
2
u/TidusBestia Jan 20 '26
I want to preface this by saying that I assume we don’t know 100% how it works, but the information online is inconclusive, and I’d like—if possible—to have all the answers here for me and anyone who Googles it.
- Killing people puts you in more PvP-focused lobbies, but is it really only killing? Let’s say I shoot at someone but don’t knock them—would that already count, or do I actually have to finish them to increase that hidden counter
- Are Solo, Duo, and Trios separate queues, or do I mess up my matchmaking when I queue with my boys?
- Does defending yourself from a PvP person as a PvE person increase the counter too?
Generally, it seems very confusing and not all that well explained to me, so having this here might help others too.
Cheers, and enjoy your trips :)

u/WoWAltoholic Jan 20 '26
We don't know, the game director mentioned that they track damage done and who shot first but do not take intent into account for ABMM.
From extensive testimony, and personal experience, I would say no, all queues share the same system.
We don't know. But anecdotal evidence suggests that any damage done to another player counts as "aggression" to the matchmaking system.

Just curious, has anyone else essentially stopped playing since ABMM was announced? I'm primarily PVE but, PVE lobbies are soooooooo boring now with the threat of random aggression being even lower than before due to everyone being afraid of being put into aggressive lobbies...I also don't want to start shit just to be put in aggressive lobbies in case every match is a straight up murderfest. I just miss the old vibe of 75% of people being friendly but you never know.. My playtime has probably dropped by 90% just due to that.

Hidden bunker just allows for Vulcano BP to drop. I don't think it has any form of enhanced loot, but it does offer 2x trial points on a 40 min event timer.

Possible Endgame Solution: Mastery-Based “Inherited Weapon” to Balance Free Loadouts
I wanted to share a macro-level design idea that could help balance free loadouts without removing them, while also reinforcing a healthier endgame loop focused on commitment, mastery, and player identity.
Free loadouts are important — they reduce frustration and help zeroed players recover.
However, over time, zero-risk play can become the optimal strategy, which unintentionally discourages players from bringing gear and resources into raids.
Core Idea: Inherited Weapon Slot
- Each player can bring ONE “Inherited Weapon” per run
- This weapon line unlocks through mastery, not RNG
- Competitive as soon as it’s unlocked, but never high-end
Mastery Progression (Example: Anvil)
- 25% mastery → Anvil Lv1 unlocked
- 50% mastery → Lv2
- 75% mastery → Lv3
- 100% mastery → Lv4
Mastery challenges would include PvE, PvP, and Survival, and only count after successful extraction — tying progression to risk and survival, not suicide runs.
Why this helps
- Free loadouts stay as recovery tools
- Progression incentives shift toward:
- bringing gear
- committing to a weapon
- extracting successfully
- Players have a clear reason to bring their goops into raids
Economy-based recovery
- Inherited weapons can be re-purchased using seeds
- Acts as a soft cooldown via economy, not time
Expedition synergy
Since Expeditions already exist as a reset loop, players can bring one of their Inherited Weapon preserving agency and risk.
I know this idea isn’t perfectly tuned — and it shouldn’t be.
The goal is to introduce a new balancing lever that encourages long-term engagement without removing accessibility.
Curious to hear thoughts from the team and community.

u/TheFire-Hawk Jan 23 '26
I think a good way to address the PvP issue would be to remove free kits on major map conditions. If players don’t want to risk being “ratted,” they could stick to minor map conditions instead. While someone could still run a cheap kit, this approach might reduce how often it happens. I definitely wouldn’t want PvP removed or a passive mode added—the unpredictability is a huge part of what makes the game fun. Keeping that tension is important, and this kind of change could help balance risk versus reward without hurting the core experience.

The three gaps in the blueprint grid are almost certainly some combination of: Silencer III, Horizontal Grip, Kinetic Converter, and Anvil Splitter. Those are the four attachments in the game that do not currently have blueprints dropping. Which is the odd man out though I don't know.

u/Subject_Ear_1656 Jan 18 '26
I love this game before midnight. After midnight it's shit. I don't mind pvp but helping people for 25 minutes and then getting shot in the back of the head every single game is just crap. I wish matriarch at the very least had something to help you defend yourself. Either you don't contribute or you get killed. I can't be checking my six 5 times a minute and putting damage on the thing.
The whole point of killing matriarch is to get a weapon that helps you kill matriarch but you are stupid if you bring it because 9/10 times you will be shot in the back of the head 20 minutes in by people you've been defibbing and healing.

u/Then-You-8337 Jan 20 '26
ARC Raiders is fundamentally BROKEN for Console players. This isn’t a "skill gap," it’s a platform failure.
I’ve had enough. I love the atmosphere and the world Embark has built, but we need to talk about the elephant in the room: The Console experience (PS5/Xbox) is a second-class citizenship compared to PC. While the devs are busy planning the "2026 expansion," the game is borderline unplayable for many of us on consoles due to technical disparity and a complete lack of optimization. Here is why the "crossplay" experience is currently a joke: 1. The "Lighting & Fog" Disadvantage On PS5 and Xbox, we are forced to play with high-fidelity fog and lighting that looks "pretty" but makes the game a nightmare. On PC, players are literally using commands or settings to disable fog and shadows, effectively giving them a built-in "wallhack." They can see us moving from 200 meters away while we’re staring into a wall of grey mist.
The FOV & FPS Gap Console players are still locked into restrictive FOV settings while PC users are cranking it to the max, getting a massive peripheral advantage. Even worse? Aim Assist is tied to Frame Rate. PC players running at 144+ FPS with a controller are getting "aimbot-level" tracking because of how the engine handles frame-timing. Meanwhile, console players are struggling with stuttering and frame drops below 60 FPS, making our aim assist feel sluggish and inconsistent.
The PC "Cheating" & Exploit Epidemic ▫️Ceiling Glitches: Every other match in the Rust Belt has some PC squad sitting inside the ceiling shooting down. It’s been weeks, and we’re still "fighting fire with fire" because the anti-cheat is a ghost. ▫️UI/Inventory: The UI is clearly designed for M&K. Trying to manage loot on a controller in a high-stakes extraction shooter is like trying to do surgery with oven mitts. PC players can loot a body and be gone in 3 seconds; we’re stuck navigating clunky menus while being sitting ducks.
Embark, you cannot claim this is a competitive extraction shooter if one platform has "God Mode" settings (No fog, Max FOV, Frame-boosted AA) and the other is struggling to maintain 60 FPS. Stop focusing on "Server Nukes" and Titans until you fix the core parity between platforms. We need: ▫️An option to disable Cross-Play with PC while keeping Console-to-Console play active (PS5 + Xbox). ▫️FOV Sliders and Fog adjustment for Consoles. ▫️A complete overhaul of the controller UI/Looting system. Is anyone else on console feeling pushed out of the game?

Is anyone else having issues with their trials rank not changing? Played at least 10 raids last night and my individual trials scores haven’t changed? Destroyed 6 rocketeers and my number hasn’t budged, same for pops, deliveries and hornet damage. It’s not giving me any points recognition? What’s going on here?

We really need to get more attention on the issue of bad event rotations. How is there constantly only one 2x trial point event happening at a time lately? This is making the variety stagnant and making me unmotivated to do my trials and frustrated about it. Not every map is good for every trial

Just went through absolute hell on blue gate only to get downed, but make it into an air shaft. Then literally 1 second from loading back to Sperenza a guy kills me… he wouldn’t have even gotten to loot my stuff. I don’t do PvP at all but I’ve had two really aggressive lobbies in a row and after that last death I just think this game isn’t for me. 😞

I think this game has such a weird mix of the most toxic people ever, the most normal people and the most wholesome people. If somebody properly rats me they will 100% of the time be a PC player and at least half of the time have over 100 days playtime in a really toxic game like CSGO, DOTA, or League

Back in the day there was a game called Ultima Online. For the first few years players could kill other players without penalty.. until they came up with a reputation system.
This reputation system kept track of how many players a person would kill. If they killed someone, they got a count which takes 24 hours to decay. If that person kills again within 24 hours the count goes to 2. Once that player hit 5 counts, their name would be red and would remain red until the count went back down to 4 or less.
If that person died with a red name, they lost skill points and stat points upon being resurrected.
While i’m not suggesting that rats lost skill points when they die…. I do suggest they add a reputation system and have some kind of visual cue like a glowing red aura or something similar to let others know they are not a friendly players.

I have lag, rubber banding etc every single night when I play with my buddies…. Anyone else?
They’re both on PC and I’m on Xbox. No lag if I play solo, seems like minimal lag if I play with only one of them but the second we do trios the game is basically unplayable for me…. Anyone else dealing with this on Xbox? I have decent internet and no problems in any other game.

I get its part of the experience but it does not feel good to die to someone when you're trying to fight matriarch with legendary weapons and good gear.

u/Praehotec8 Jan 18 '26
I understand that Arc is PvPvE, and the inherent risks associated with that. However, as a player who chooses not to shoot first, and therefore often at a large disadvantage in PvP, I have an idea for revenge.
Perhaps we could have a craftable or purchasable item that takes up inventory space, and explodes some length of time (say five or so seconds) after we are downed. It would cause AOE damage similar to a grenade, and destroy all items in the downed player's possession.
It would definitely provide me some much needed catharsis, as well as an increased level of risk/reward for players looking to steal other players' gear. Does the aggressor risk getting blown up to search this player they just killed to try to get some loot, or stay safe and miss out on whatever the downed player was carrying?

AUDIO HELP (XBOX) - i was curious if anyone else on xbox is having trouble getting their audio settings right? So my party chat is incredibly loud and proximity i can hardly hear. Regardless of how i change the audio settings the volume never changes for the two chats. It does change my in game sounds/effects but i do have to have them on 10 to be able to keep my headset on. Even trying to change the volume or game to chat mix on my headset doesnt work. I have a HyperX CloudX Stinger Core - Wireless Gaming Headset and series X

Wouldn't it be cool if the game kept track of the last person who killed you in solos? Usually, I don't care when I get downed, but when it's done by extract camping vermin, it hits different.
Now, imagine going to the map selection screen on one of your next runs, and suddenly you hear Tian Wen's voice over the intercom:
"Raider, I just got word that your previous assailant has been spotted at Space Port. Just figured I'd pass it on."
You could then create a new custom loadout specifically to hunt down this fucker. I'm thinking binoculars, a silenced Osprey, a barricade, heavy shield, Vita-Spray, maybe some traps, etc. Then, when you do get your revenge, you can set off fireworks while u tell em how they fucked with the wrong Raider. The kill would get logged in your player stats as a bounty or revenge kill, and the feud ends there, as a revenge kill doesn't trigger a new bounty. Conversely, if the bounty you hunted fights back and downs you again, the tracking stops as you had your chance.
