Arc Raiders: Everything to Know About the New Extraction Shooter

Arc Raiders is a new extraction shooter coming out on all platforms soon, and here's everything you need to know about the new title.

Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter developed and published by the same studio that brought us The Finals, Embark Studios. The game will be available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X.

The gameplay is PvPvE and can be played in teams of three or two or played solo. If you're curious about the game's overall aspects, then here's everything you need to know about the upcoming extraction shooter.

What is Arc Raiders?

ARC Raiders is a multiplayer extraction adventure, set in a lethal future earth, ravaged by a mysterious mechanised threat known as ARC. Players get to play as Raiders who loot the surface and make it out alive by fighting with other players and NPCs alike.

On the surface, Arc Raiders follows the basic gameplay loop where players go to the surface, complete objectives, missions, loot items and gear, and then make it back alive to their bases.

Unlike new shooters out there, Arc Raiders focuses on much more slow-paced gameplay where every gunfight is hardcore due to the scarcity of resources and the way weapons perform in the game.

Unique PVE Elements

The game's PVE elements are what make the game stand out from other extraction shooters. The map in-game features roaming robotic ground and aerial creatures that will constantly keep pestering you if you fall in their sights.

These robotic creatures can range from small to behemoth sizes. While players can deal with almost all creatures with their squad, the behemoth-sized ones require all players in the lobby to come to a truce and then take them on together to down them.

Cross-Play

ARC Raiders supports seamless social play across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. Play with your squad and thrive as a team, or rise in the ranks as a lone ranger. Connect, collaborate, and compete, no matter where or how you play.

Massive Post-Apocalyptic Map

Lethal and bold but vibrant and beautiful, ARC Raiders offers an inviting take on the post-post-apocalypse. An immersive world built using Unreal Engine 5 where the remnants of Italy's rich history blend with brutal infrastructure for space travel. While lethal machines roam the dangerous surface, the cantina below ground still has food options.
