01 — SCAVENGE
Every item counts.
Search ruins and forgotten corners for useful gear, crafting materials, and valuable loot. The longer you stay, the more you might find—and the more you risk.

01 / Welcome topside
A WORLD WORTH
RISKING IT ALL FOR.
An extraction adventure: head topside, find useful loot, manage threats, and make it back to Speranza.
02 — SURVIVE
Stay alert.
Hostile ARC machines patrol the surface. Listen for danger, use cover, and think before you turn a quiet encounter into a fight.
03 — EXTRACT
Make it back.
Getting loot is only half the job. Reach an extraction point and escape with your haul—or risk losing the rewards of your run.
TOPSIDE IS NEVER SAFE
02 / The raid loop
PLAN. LOOT.
GET OUT.
Choose a goal, collect what matters, and leave before the risk outweighs the reward.
- Pack equipment that fits your plan.
- Keep an eye on your surroundings and listen carefully.
- Choose when to fight—and when to avoid a fight.
- Know your route out before things get hectic.

04 / Your first expedition
YOUR FIRST RAID,
STEP BY STEP.
The essentials in three steps. Expand any card for a little more guidance.
STEP 01
Prepare at base
Get familiar with your equipment and objectives before heading topside. Start with a simple plan instead of trying to do everything at once.
STEP 02
Explore and collect
Search locations for useful supplies while paying attention to your surroundings. You can choose to avoid risky encounters.
STEP 03
Extract and learn
Find a way out with your collected items. Each run helps you learn the environment and make better decisions next time.
03 / Raider handbook
MAKE IT HOME.
Quick reminders for any skill level—especially when a run starts going sideways.
FIELD NOTE A
Travel with a purpose
Pick a destination and a rough exit plan. Wandering without a goal can waste supplies and leave you exposed.
FIELD NOTE B
Use sound as intel
Movement, gunfire, and machine activity can give away nearby threats. Slow down when the area feels suspiciously quiet.
FIELD NOTE C
Know your limits
You don't need to win every encounter. If your gear is low or your bag is full, extraction may be the smartest play.
Raider reminder: This is an unofficial fan-made website for a game. Map images are credited to the linked community map sources; ARC Raiders and its game content belong to Embark Studios.
“
THE BEST RAID IS THE ONE YOU SURVIVE.
Grab what you need. Trust your instincts. And when the surface starts feeling too dangerous, remember: the way out is part of the mission.
