News Tag: ARC Raiders Items For Sale

Although the controversy surrounding ARC Raiders' use of AI voice acting at TGA hasn't subsided, players and developers seem to have shifted their focus to the new Cold Snap Update.

The core of this update is the new map condition Snowfall and the limited-time event Flickering Flames. In addition, regular mechanics and content have also been updated, such as newly added quests and blueprints.

Blueprints are valuable game items at any time; many other game items you collect require blueprints to be crafted into useful gear.

Considering that almost every blueprint has different recipe requirements, we will provide detailed recipes for all blueprints so you can craft faster with existing materials or collect materials more efficiently.

How To Obtain Blueprints?

As one of the important items in ARC Raiders, BluePrints are similar to a crafting menu. After unlocking your workshop, you can collect the necessary materials according to the blueprint recipe to craft the weapons or other advanced items you want.

More importantly, blueprint unlocks are permanent, meaning that after consuming a blueprint, as long as you have enough materials, you can theoretically craft the finished product repeatedly.

Fortunately, despite their importance, the acquisition mechanism for blueprints is not much different from other game items, mainly including the following channels:

• Completing quests given by NPCs
• Completing all weekly trials on time after reaching level 15
• Adventuring on various maps to find containers or enemies with loot

The blueprints obtainable through quests are fixed, currently only five:

• Burletta Blueprint - Industrial Espionage Quest
• Hullcracker Blueprint and Launcher Ammo Blueprint - The Major's Footlocker Quest
• Trigger Nade Blueprint - Sparks Fly Quest
• Lure Grenade Blueprint - Greasing Her Palms Quest

All Blueprint Recipes

After Cold Snap Update, there should now be 75 ARC Raiders BluePrints. Most of their recipes are different, and if you start crafting without knowing the recipes beforehand, you'll quickly find yourself missing this or that material.

Therefore, a more efficient approach is to match your existing materials with the blueprint recipes, select the blueprints for items you can craft immediately, and fully utilize your resource inventory before continuing to collect more materials.

Based on this, we have listed all currently known BluePrints, their recipes, and workshop requirements.

If ARC Raiders releases more major updates in the future, new blueprints may also be added. In short, to ensure the game's playability, there won't be a fixed limit on the number of blueprints; all you can do is continuously collect materials and craft.

The first ARC Raiders expedition window has been confirmed to start on December 17th and end on December 22nd. You need to submit items and coins to participate, with a minimum level requirement of 20.

Although the player community is not entirely satisfied with the rewards and gameplay of this expedition, fortunately, ARC Raiders doesn't force you to participate.

Of course, if you don't mind, using this opportunity to reset and maintain the game's cycle is also a good option.

In fact, we have already introduced a lot of information about completing the expedition in other articles, and this time we will provide detailed instructions on collecting the materials needed for submission.

What Is Expedition Preparation?

The period from December 17th to 22nd represents the final departure phase. Before that, there is an approximately 7-week preparation phase. All of these combined constitute a complete expedition.

The preparation work can be roughly divided into 6 stages. The first five stages require you to collect different items or a sufficient amount of currency. To do this, you must participate in enough battles over the 7 weeks, or craft some items in the workshop.

Part 1. Building Materials

This part of the expedition materials mainly consists of building components or materials, which can be found in most industrial areas on various maps.

However, some materials can be obtained directly by looting containers, while some rarer materials, such as Steel Springs, may require you to defeat specific ARC enemies. Here are all the materials required for Part 1:

• 150x Metal Parts
• 200x Rubber Parts
• 80x ARC Alloy
• 15x Steel Springs

Part 2. Metal Component Materials

This part of the materials includes:

• 35x Durable Cloth
• 30x Wires
• 30x Electrical Components
• 5x Cooling Fan

The rarest item here is Cooling Fan, mainly found in areas that were previously technology-related buildings. Although Durable Cloth is not very rare, it's not easy to farm, even in relevant medical or commercial areas.

In contrast, farming Electrical Components and Wires is much simpler; you just need to carefully search within buildings with electronic equipment.

It's important to note that there's always a risk of encountering other players trying to steal your loot in any building. Therefore, before collecting resources, you should also consider improving your character and existing gear through safe ARC Raiders services.

If you find collecting some materials too time-consuming, you can also obtain them directly from merchants or craft them in the workshop. However, crafting requires blueprints, which themselves require farming.

And on the one hand, not all items have corresponding blueprints, and on the other hand, low-rarity items don't really have crafting value. So ultimately, it depends on your combat power and resource inventory.

Part 3. Daily Items And Special Modules

This batch of materials is special; most are easily obtainable everyday items, but there's one rare component that will prove challenging. These are:

• 5x Light Bulbs
• 30x Batteries
• 20x Sensors
• 1x Exodus Module

The first three resources can be found by scavenging in abandoned vehicles and electrical or technological areas, but Exodus Module can only be obtained in Exodus zones.

In ARC Raiders, Exodus refers to the lost era of space travel, and more specifically, these zones include Acerra Spaceport, Rocket Launch Sites/Launch Towers, and Post-Calamity Housing/Avionics.

The tricky part is that these zones are often surrounded by many more dangerous ARC enemies, so you still need to be prepared to face them to complete this part of the material collection.

Part 4. Advanced Components

The expedition materials in this section can be found by entering the relevant areas, but it requires sufficient time, and some may be hidden in locked containers, requiring you to collect keys separately. These include:

• 5x Humidifiers
• 5x Advanced Electrical Components
• 3x Magnetic Accelerators
• 3x Jumper Impulse Units

The most difficult to find are Magnetic Accelerators, which only appear in Exodus zones or can be obtained by salvaging Queen Reactors. Additionally, Jumper Impulse Units only drop after killing ARC Jumper enemies.

Part 5. Collecting Items With Specific Total Coin Value

This collection task tests not your ability to collect specific items, but how to plan effectively to obtain different types of resources with varying total coin values:

• Combat Items - 250,000 coins
• Survival Items - 100,000 coins
• Provisions - 180,000 coins
• Materials - 300,000 coins

It's important to remember not to misinterpret the requirements: you need to collect items that meet the required coin value, not earn coins! If you mistakenly sell all your acquired resources for coins, you'll be the biggest sucker around.

If you have time and don't want to take risks, you can collect items by looting in safer areas. However, if you want to complete the collection quickly, you can prioritize challenging rare ARC enemies and dangerous missions.

How To Check Your Stash Value?

Among all the reset rewards from the expedition, the number of skill points depends on your stash value - the maximum is 5 points, corresponding to a stash value of 5 million.

We've already introduced the main methods for quickly farming this many coins in other articles, and this time we're bringing you another little tip: how to check your stash value.

If you're playing on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, you can open your inventory by holding down LT/L2 button after entering the game, then press A/X button to select all items and view them.

If you're playing on a PC, you can not only follow the above method to perform similar operations on your PC, but you can also do so by changing the date on your computer.

The day after the first expedition departure window opens is December 18th. If you change your computer's time to this date in advance, you can immediately view the value of your inventory items in the game. While it's unclear if this is a bug, it does work.

That's all for this time. If you plan to participate in the expedition but haven't finished collecting resources, you need to speed up, because there's less than a week left before departure! Don't let your previous efforts go to waste!

Recently, the developers of ARC Raiders announced that they will not open the expedition project departure window as scheduled on December 15th, but will instead begin on December 17th and end on the 22nd, two days later than originally planned.

While slightly disappointing, this isn't entirely bad, as this brief delay actually gives players more preparation time until the window closes.

You will have six days to allow your raider to permanently leave The Rust Belt and embark on a new journey with the caravan you built in the expedition project, carrying some buffs and advantages.

Next, we want to delve deeper into the confirmed information about this expedition project window to understand what the actual expedition reset is like and what advantages we will gain. So, let's take a look.

How Does Expedition Work?

First, the expedition in ARC Raiders works similarly to Call of Duty's Prestige system. Players participating in the event have their current character progress reset, forcing them to create a new character when the next expedition project begins. However, this doesn't mean players will lose almost everything once the six-day window ends, and their efforts may not be worthwhile, as participating players will receive some permanent rewards that will make their next game journey easier.

What Buffs Does The Expedition Project Provide?

Now, suppose you're about to leave Speranza. When an expedition begins, all ARC Raiders items in your inventory are counted towards the expedition.

During an expedition, your raider can gain a maximum of 5 skill points. The exact number depends on the total value of your inventory and coins at the time of departure. In other words, the total value of all items in your inventory plus the total value of all your ARC Raiders coins is your total value when you leave the expedition.

An item worth 1 million coins can provide 1 additional skill point for your new raider. You can gain a maximum of 5 skill points, but this requires your stash and coins to be worth at least 5 million.

When you restart the game, everything related to your game progress will be reset, so your skill tree, level, stash, workshops, crafting abilities, and blueprints will be lost.

Notably, your initial tutorial after your first deployment in Speranza will be skipped, meaning all maps and potential workshop upgrades will be available immediately after your reset. While you'll still start from scratch, you'll gain these basics without any tedious steps.

Permanent Rewards

If you choose to reset Expedition, you'll also gain some permanent unlocks, mostly cosmetic, including:

• The Patchwork Raider outfit
• Scrappy Janitor Cap
• Expeditions Indicator icon
• Skill points (depending on stash value)
• +12 Stash space

These are decent upgrades that you can gradually accumulate as you continue participating in Expedition system.

Temporary Buffs

In addition, you will receive some temporary buffs:

• 10% Repair Buff
• 5% XP boost
• 6% more materials from Scrappy

Please note that while skill points, extra inventory space, and cosmetic items are permanently unlocked, these account-bound buffs will expire if you choose not to participate in the next expedition. In other words, if you stop participating in this system, you will no longer be able to obtain these temporary buffs.

The buff effects will increase over the next three expeditions, but can only be triggered once per expedition project window. Therefore, the stacking mentioned here means that the more times you participate in this system, the stronger these buff effects will become.

A reminder that the expedition window will open on December 17th and last until December 22nd. This is different from our initial expectations; you must register during this period. They have stated that the value of your inventory and coins will be calculated when the window closes, not when you register. Therefore, you can continue to scavenge for resources and try to accumulate 5 million coins before the window closes.

Of course, we know many players don't intend to participate in the expedition system, so if you choose not to reset, you can continue building caravans, and all progress will be retained, allowing you to keep working until the next window opens in a few months.

Why Reset Expedition Progress?

The main reason many players feel participating in expeditions isn't worthwhile is that each reset makes them feel like all their previous efforts have been wasted, making it completely unworthy of trying.

However, ARC Raiders development team has provided an explanation. They stated that progress wipes have always been difficult to balance in multiplayer online games, and a mandatory global wipe has some obvious benefits. Players who have invested a lot of time can relive their initial grind, and for a period of time, the game environment will be fairer.

The optional expedition project window is a solution proposed by the team to address some of the problems that mandatory wipes inevitably cause, especially reflecting their respect for the time players have invested in the game. They want to give players a choice.

The developers even stated that if you haven't completed as many tasks as you want, you can continue to loot, build, and expand your resource reserves. You can also participate in Expedition system and gain buffs, rewards, and bragging rights during the next possible Expedition window. However, it's unclear whether the permanent rewards offered in each Expedition window will be the same.

While the rewards aren't numerous, this does create a unique experience, allowing players who genuinely want to reset their progress to receive cosmetic items as a reward after investing significant resources in completing the entire Expedition project.

As for temporary buffs, you can think of them as clear advantages. However, some may not see it that way, as these buffs only make your gameplay slightly easier; you ultimately start from scratch.

However, we don't yet know the specifics of Expedition project departure window, only that it's part of a major December update on the roadmap. Therefore, we can consider this the first step in a game update. It's expected to be a multi-step process, including balance adjustments, new content releases, and more. Let's look forward to the official opening of the window on December 17th!

When looting or completing missions in ARC Raiders, you must be wary not only of other players who might try to steal your loot, but also of the existing ARC enemies who may attack at any moment.

Among the various ARC, the Leaper is an agile spider-like beast capable of leaping into combat and inflicting devastating damage. They frequently appear in high-risk areas, primarily to guard important objectives.

Players will inevitably encounter them while searching for rarer loot. Into the Fray mission and weekly Trials also require players to eliminate or damage Leapers.

Furthermore, defeating a Leaper will drop ARC Raiders items, such as Leaper Pulse Unit, currently essential for Expedition Project Phase 4. Therefore, it's crucial to know how to easily defeat it in the game, rather than getting bogged down by it.

While Leapers look intimidating, they aren't the most difficult ARC enemies in the game. Forums have revealed their weaknesses, such as avoiding close-quarters combat and focusing on their leg joints-key to defeating them.

If you've also struggled with their presence in the game, then read on. I'll tell you the fastest way to kill Leapers, whether you're playing solo or in a team.

Location

After extensive testing in the game, we've found Spaceport to be the best location. The only downside is its open terrain, meaning you're likely to encounter other players besides Leapers, who might also attack you. However, this isn't unusual; it happens frequently in the game, so just be careful.

Specifically, it's located in the center of the map, near Central Elevator. There's a bunker northeast of the elevator, sandwiched between the elevator and South Trench Tower. This bunker is excellent for defending against sudden Leaper attacks because its entrance is sealed.

It's worth noting that if you arrive here but don't see the option to break in, be careful; another player has likely entered. Be cautious.

Leapers cannot enter the bunker, so when one attacks, keeping a distance from the window will almost eliminate damage. Focus on taking out the Leaper's allies first.

The area near the elevator is a common Leaper spawn point, but sometimes they'll also be on the other side of Launch Tower. In this case, you can try luring a Leaper to the bunker area, but this is risky as there's a short distance between the two locations.

So, if there are no Leapers near the bunker, loot other items and try reloading the map to see if they spawn.

Step By Step

1. Arm Yourself And Fortify The Bunker

All guns with Heavy Ammo can deal significant damage to Leapers, such as a max-level Anvil or Bettina. Therefore, ensure you have enough Ammo. Ammo generally spawns throughout the map, or can be found on stunned Raiders and destroyed ARC.

You can also use Hullcracke, but it's relatively rare, and its powerful attack should be saved for later against stronger enemies.

Throwable explosives are also useful, such as Grenades, but be very careful when using them. Since we're attacking from inside the bunker, if you miss and it bounces back into the bunker, you're in trouble.

In addition, the following items can help you deal with Leapers more effectively:

• Barricade Kit: provides cover and blocks 500 damage until broken;
• Door Blocker: can be installed on doors to prevent them from being opened;
• Traps and mines: Blaze Grenade Traps, Jolt Mines, etc;
• Lure Grenade: can attract ARC's attention and divert fire.

Although Leapers can't enter the bunker, other players can, so you need to prepare in advance and use the tools mentioned above to prevent other players from entering, otherwise you'll be attacked from both sides.

We recommend entering through the west door. Once inside, use Door Blocker to block the door, as the east door is more difficult to access, so try to avoid creating unnecessary trouble.

Make full use of your Traps, mines, and Barricade Kits. These will help you defend against enemies and other players, but be careful not to accidentally injure yourself.

2. Lure Leaper And Attack

After fortifying the bunker, you should be able to see Leapers outside. Usually, one will patrol nearby. If you don't see one, reload until you encounter one.

Then you can shoot at it to lure it in. It will then attack you. Since it can't enter the bunker, don't panic. However, remember to pay attention to its movements. Leapers like to charge up their attacks. Once you notice it charging, move away from the window immediately.

Prioritize attacking its eyes, as they are its weak points. If you have teammates, that's even better; strong firepower will make things much easier. If you don't have teammates, it's okay, but if you're alone, bring enough Ammo.

However, don't just defend without retaliating. Leaper isn't completely stupid; if it fires enough attacks and you don't retaliate, it will leave. At this point, you can fire another shot at it, causing it to become enraged again and try to enter the window, but it won't be able to.

At this point, increase your firepower until you destroy it.

3. Loot And Escape Quickly

Such a large-scale battle will easily attract nearby players, who might ambush you and enjoy your hard-earned loot. Therefore, you need to quickly loot the dropped items and then quickly escape.

Except during Night Raid when you can only leave via the elevator, it's recommended to use Raider Hatch Key to escape from another location, thus avoiding dealing with players near the elevator.

If you want to eliminate Leaper to complete the weekly mission, you can choose to do so during Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm, which will give you double challenge points. If your goal is simply to collect loot, try to avoid activating Electromagnetic Storm, as you risk being struck by lightning while looting.

Leapers spawn on many maps in ARC Raiders, but Spaceport bunker is the best choice, offering both protection and easy Leaper kills. Give this method a try, and good luck with your hunt!

Dear Raiders, as we officially enter December, the next major update is just around the corner: Cold Snap update, which we previously saw on the roadmap for December.

While this update won't include a ton of new maps and content like North Line update a few weeks ago, it will still bring new gameplay experiences.

Next, let's discuss the possible updates for the upcoming Cold Snap. However, the full patch hasn't been released yet; we're currently only speculating based on recent statements from the developers regarding ARC Raiders and the trailers revealed, to infer what issues they might be aware of and plan to address, as well as some clues about the game's future direction.

Snowfall Map Condition

First, this Cold Snap update will include a Snowfall Map Condition. Currently, our only understanding of this condition comes from a few outdoor snowy scenes shown in the game's launch trailer, but this area doesn't currently exist in ARC Raiders.

Therefore, the prevailing speculation is that this is simply a preview of this important map condition. Its specific impact remains unknown.

How Will It Work?

Logically, we can predict it will probably be similar to Electromagnetic Storm, meaning it might affect multiple different maps, rather than being locked to a specific map like Spaceport's Hidden Bunker.

We say this primarily because the official promotion claims it's a key part of December update, and adding a condition to only one map would be disappointing. Furthermore, blizzards shouldn't only occur in one place in the open world.

However, this is all speculation, so we should proceed with caution. If it appears on all maps, or at least most, then its operation will probably be similar to other major map conditions like Night Raid and Electromagnetic Storm.

Currently, no major map condition activates Raider Hatch, and all conditions provide double Trial Points. Therefore, we can assume the same applies to Snowfall.

Furthermore, since Night Raid increases loot quality and blueprint drop rate, and Electromagnetic Storm may increase loot quality (although this is still debated), we expect Snowfall to also have one or more of these effects.

What Are The Implications?

Besides this, we can speculate on what Snowfall map condition might represent.

Sound Effects

Our first thought is sound effects. As we all know, ARC Raiders relies heavily on sound effects; players need to listen to their surroundings to perceive their environment. Therefore, sound is crucial in the game.

Snow has excellent sound-absorbing properties, making sounds even quieter. Therefore, we can easily imagine the game covering all outdoor areas with a fresh layer of snow. This way, players will make almost no sound when walking in the snow. The snow will absorb most of the noise on the map.

Footprints

Besides, walking in the snow will naturally leave clearly visible footprints. Therefore, even if you can move almost silently in the snow, you will always leave a trail behind you, meaning other players can track you. This undoubtedly creates an extremely tense and exciting combat atmosphere, making you constantly worried about other players ambushing you from behind.

Stamina Recovery & Mechanical Operation

Weather and extreme cold may also cause slower stamina recovery, and players may need to buy ARC Raiders items like Adrenaline Shot in Snowfall environment to restore survivability. Of course, this is just speculation.

This not only affects raiders but also ARCs. The cold and snow will slow down the operation of ARC mechanical parts, making them sluggish in every aspect, much like some event makes them easier to defeat.

Or you could say that Snowfall has the opposite effect. Perhaps it prevents ARCs from overheating, allowing them to utilize more energy and maintain higher power for longer periods. Perhaps it's both.

Overall, I think the most likely effects are sound and footprints. I think this is very predictable and fits the concept of snowfall perfectly. The other things I mentioned are actually just speculation. We don't really know.

Snowfall May Increase The Drop Rate Of Certain Blueprints

It's worth noting that each major map condition seems to significantly increase the drop rate of a super rare blueprint. For example, Tempest blueprint is generally considered easiest to find in Night Raid; Snap Hook blueprint is easiest to find during Electromagnetic Storm; and Bobcat blueprint is easiest to find during Locked Gate.

So, during Snowfall's activation, which blueprint will generate more frequently? We would say Deadline Mine blueprint. Since the roadmap doesn't mention adding new weapons, it's unlikely to be a new weapon blueprint.

Deadline Mine is a very powerful new item added in Patch 1.2, tied to a brand new map condition not yet in the game. The total number of blueprints has increased, meaning there should be a corresponding map condition that increases its drop rate.

Flickering Flames Event

Flickering Flames event is also listed in Cold Snap update section of the roadmap.

However, the meaning of the word event is currently quite vague. Since its release, the only event officially referred to as an event in ARC Raiders is Breaking New Ground Event. It initially unlocked Stella Montis map and later evolved into a route where rewards were earned through XP.

Therefore, Flickering Flames is likely just the next event where you can earn some small rewards for free, and they hope this type of event will continue.

However, some believe it might be a small new event added to the map, such as Husk Graveyard, Matriarch, or Harvester.

Expedition Departure Window To Be Launched

Expedition Departure Window will also open around mid-December, and they will also add a Raider Deck. If Flickering Flames event works as we expect, it might launch simultaneously with this new battle pass, but we cannot be certain at this time.

New Quests

More quests will be added later, and we speculate these will be related to Snowfall map condition. Alternatively, it might even be a continuation of our Stella Montis map adventure, as the events associated with that map end in a few days, and there seems to be some follow-up content. So, perhaps the new quests will stem from this.

That's all for today. This discussion revolved around ARC Raiders December roadmap and the game updates we know about, but everything is still speculation. However, Cold Snap update release is getting closer, so stay tuned!

While ARC Raiders lacks purely PvE gameplay, the game's story is woven together through many main quests. If you're not interested in aimless exploration, prioritizing these quests is the best option.

These quests not only mark the game's plot and your personal progress but also reward you with various items and coins. More importantly, they are reset through Expedition system, allowing you to continuously earn rewards.

However, this means you must try to remember the completion methods and locations of most quests to quickly complete them after a reset and avoid wasting time.

There are a total of 66 main quests in ARC Raiders. 60 are related to various main vendors, while the rest are distributed across two specific maps, requiring you to complete a certain number of rounds to unlock. We will provide a detailed introduction below.

All Vendor-Related Quests

This section contains as many as 60 quests, issued by different vendors. Each vendor issues a varying number of quests, and the maps you need to travel to also differ.

These tasks are generally not difficult; the only tricky part is that some of them involve combat and require you to complete them within a single combat round.

Therefore, to ensure a high completion rate and avoid wasting time on failed challenges, it's best to get safe ARC Raiders products trading at IGGM to improve your overall combat power and complete the current main missions in one go.

Next, we will list the locations and main content of these 60 missions by vendor.

Whether playing real-person shooting game or battling enemies in the virtual world of ARC Raiders, if you've ever experienced it, you'll know that becoming a competent gunfighter requires not only extremely high shooting accuracy but also relevant movement skills.

Unless you're playing a sniper who hides in the shadows, firing a shot and then retreating, to kill more robots or eliminate other players in ARC Raiders, you must penetrate deep into enemy territory.

In this process, you must constantly move to ensure you can dodge enemy bullets in time, using sufficient mobility and speed to ensure your survival chances.

Based on this, this article will introduce the movement techniques you should master in ARC Raiders from multiple perspectives, and the benefits they provide.

Movement Techniques Overview

First, it's important to understand that any movement during combat consumes your stamina. Therefore, if you're not carrying items that provide supplies, you need to constantly monitor and carefully manage your stamina bar.

Furthermore, completing movement actions not only helps you evade enemies or better conceal yourself, but some weapons also automatically reload or perform other settings simultaneously, saving you time and allowing you to focus on shooting.

Dodge Rolling

There are two types of rolling to dodge in ARC Raiders: a normal walking roll and a more efficient sprint roll. You can choose according to your needs, but be mindful of your stamina and use it carefully.

The difference lies in the speed: with full stamina, a normal roll can be performed about eight times, but it's much slower; a sprint roll is faster, but can only be performed about four times.

The special feature of rolling is that the shotgun automatically reloads while you're performing the action. To use this technique effectively, your movement level is not important; all you need to do is repeatedly fire and roll within your available stamina.

This allows you to maintain good mobility in combat, and because you're rolling, it's harder for enemies to hit you.

It's worth noting that a slide dodge can be derived from the sprint dodge. The specific technique and scenario involve rushing in and firing when you see an enemy hiding behind a wall, then immediately rolling back to cover, eliminating them before they can react.

If executed correctly, they won't have a chance to retaliate, and might not even see you emerge. This is perfect for solo stealth operations, allowing you to quickly escape.

Jump Shotting

Mastering jump shotting in real life requires significant practice and physical talent, but in ARC Raiders, mastering controller or keyboard controls makes it possible.

For optimal gameplay, the system automatically adjusts some settings; all you need to do is jump, aim, and fire - it's that simple. It's generally recommended practicing in Practice Range before using it in actual combat.

Even in fights against weaker enemies, simply rushing in or sliding will make it easier for them to hit you. However, if you jump and fire simultaneously, you can create chaos in the enemy ranks, making it even harder for them to hit you.

Continuous Crouching

Crouching is simply a basic dodging action, but crouching at the right moment can effectively prevent headshots. It's easy to do: just keep crouching while shooting.

Successfully using these actions depends not only on your skill level but also on unlocking the corresponding skills in ARC Raiders. The two most important are Youthful Lungs and Marathon Runner, which reduce stamina consumption and increase maximum stamina.

How To Manage Your Stamina?

Generally, mastering the three techniques mentioned above is sufficient for your daily ARC Raiders combat needs. After that, rather than learning more movement methods, your first priority should be managing stamina to avoid being unable to move as needed.

The character's stamina bar is located at the bottom of the screen. When it reaches its maximum, you will have approximately 3 to 5 seconds of unlimited stamina.

During this time, sprinting or jumping will not reduce the stamina bar, but rolling to dodge will instantly deplete your stamina.

Using items that help restore stamina, such as Calming Stroll and Adren Stims, can also help. Using them will trigger a corresponding animation, but this effect can be interrupted by rolling to dodge.

Therefore, if you don't have perks but want to conserve stamina in combat, you can slide, which doesn't consume stamina. Simply hold down the slide button while jumping, and you'll immediately enter a slide state.

Of course, the fastest way to restore stamina is to buy ARC Raiders items. These stimulant-like items can also be redeemed directly in the market or crafted in the workshop.

Usually, three are enough for a normal battle, but you can bring more if you're not comfortable with that.

How To Avoid Fall Damage By Moving?

Besides being hit by enemies, you'll also take damage if you accidentally fall from a height while exploring the map. To avoid this, you need to quickly press the crouch button before landing.

Unfortunately, this only works at a height of about 2 meters. If the height is too high, you'll still take fall damage. Furthermore, pressing or holding the crouch button too early will render this technique ineffective; timing is crucial.

Another way to avoid fall damage is by rolling to dodge. If you see any edges in the game, such as rooftops or cliffs, you can aim at them before approaching them, then jump and vault over them until you land safely.

That's all for this guide. If you think they're useful, try them out in ARC Raiders!

If you're a fan of trendy shooting games, you're probably currently hooked on competing against robots and real players in ARC Raiders! PvPvE mechanics bring a unique gameplay element of escaping chaotic battles.

ARC bots are the clear enemy, both in terms of their role and mechanics, but real players offer more possibilities: you can single-handedly defeat all opponents or team up with a few to form a stronger fighting force.

Generally, teaming up with familiar people, or recommending your friends to join ARC Raiders, are reliable ways to team up for PvP. However, if neither of these options is feasible, there are plenty of reliable teammates among strangers.

However, it's important to note that while it's difficult to determine the reliability of unfamiliar teammates before playing together, some players' true colors will emerge once the match begins.

They may not have genuine malice, but their inappropriate behavior can severely impact your gaming experience. To avoid further negative consequences, if you encounter the following types of teammates, be sure to try to leave the team immediately!

1. Selfish Teammates

From a storyline perspective, the fight in ARC Raiders is about reclaiming humanity's dominance over Earth, but who knows when that day will come! Right now, all you can do is constantly bring resources back to base to maintain your own and your base's survival.

Therefore, essentially, completing battles and looting enough ARC Raiders items from the battlefield is the key to everything. However, if you're fighting in a team, a sensitive issue arises: loot distribution.

Generally, if everyone on the team contributes roughly the same amount, the loot should be divided equally; if abilities vary, it should be distributed according to contribution.

But in reality, there are indeed selfish players who only care about running around the map searching for resources, unwilling to share with others or provide combat assistance when you encounter robots, seemingly only using you as a tool to draw fire.

Another type of selfish player will abandon you immediately after a few gunfights if they see you in danger due to insufficient ability, prioritizing their own safety.

Even worse, some will find a safe place to hide and loot your body after you've been surrounded and killed. This isn't just selfish; it's downright shameless.

While the game doesn't explicitly forbid this in a team, choosing to team up should come with a sense of cooperation and mutual assistance. Otherwise, it's better to play alone - at least you won't be ambushed and looted.

If you unfortunately encounter such selfish teammates, don't waste time arguing with them. Just kick them out after the game! There are so many ARC Raiders players; regrouping isn't difficult.

2. Teammates With Poor Communication Skills

Choosing teamwork means you must communicate with your teammates in a timely manner throughout the game, including your goals, your skill level, and the situation you'll encounter after the battle begins - if you split up.

Only in this way can everyone develop a battle plan and route that suits everyone from the start, ensuring everyone benefits from the operation. But if someone on the team doesn't intend to communicate, then trouble ensues.

In ARC Raiders, three-person teams are the most common. If one member happens to be the type who single-mindedly focuses on their own tasks, you and another teammate will be in trouble.

Because you don't know if the other person is doing their own quest or has already started looting, you can't judge whether you should follow them. This reduces team efficiency, or rather, defeats the purpose of forming a team.

3. Gear-Ineffective Teammates

Frankly, the fault of these teammates isn't entirely theirs, but rather related to ARC Raiders' random matchmaking system.

Sometimes, you might plan a thrilling battle on a high-difficulty map to bring back a large amount of rare loot in one go. To increase your success rate, you not only bring the best weapons but also intend to randomly team up and leverage teamwork.

Unfortunately, if you're unlucky, you might be matched with two players who go into battle with basic gear. This means that in later high-level battles, you'll inevitably have to take on the responsibility of being the main fighter and even protecting them.

This not only lowers your own survival rate, defeating the purpose of forming a team, but you'll also have to share some resources with them afterward, even if they did almost nothing.

4. "Duo-Friendly" Teammates

When searching for ARC Raiders teammates through in-game chat channels or group chat software like Discord, it's not uncommon to find teams already having two members, with you joining as the last member.

Frankly, this is normal, but the problem arises if these two people are friends or even a couple. You're in trouble; you might just be someone they invited to fill a spot!

Of course, there are exceptions - friends/couples with excellent character - but there are also those who are engrossed in chatting and interacting with acquaintances, ignoring your needs and feelings as a teammate. The best you can do is leave the team as soon as possible.

5. Purely Malicious Teammates

These players aren't targeting you maliciously, but rather other real-person teams. They might feign friendliness first, then immediately eliminate the opposing team when they're off guard to steal their loot.

Even if you don't want to do it, if you stay on the team, the players who were hurt will resent you, and you yourself will feel terrible. If you don't participate in this malicious cheating, your unethical teammates might blame you for not contributing.

It has to be said that it's these kinds of people who ruin the friendly and fun PvP atmosphere that ARC Raiders should have. You can't change them, but you can at least report and block them after leaving the team.

While we've listed many types of bad teammates, they don't represent a large percentage of the overall ARC Raiders player base. Even if you unfortunately encounter some of these, leaving the team and blocking them immediately is the best way to protect yourself.

Although ARC Raiders is a PvPvE game that mixes two different types of enemies on the same battlefield, you'll still need to employ different strategies, weapons, and builds to deal with them in actual combat.

It's worth noting that your skill or build choices are also related to the number of people in your party during battle. If you're playing in a party, you can focus on dealing damage/healing, but if you're fighting solo, you'll need to work on both.

Therefore, this article will introduce skill and build combinations that are more suitable for solo play, allowing you to enjoy ARC Raiders even when you can't find teammates.

What Are ARC Raiders Skills?

ARC Raiders' skill system differs from ARPGs or MMORPGs. It doesn't vary based on your class selection; everyone faces the same skill tree. The difference lies in how you unlock skill points to determine your progression path.

When you earn useful items by playing the game, you'll also gain XP, which not only helps you level up your character but also allows you to invest it into the skill tree to unlock new skill points.

The skill tree is divided into three branches: conditioning, survival, and mobility. You can decide whether to unlock skills evenly or focus on one aspect based on your character development plan.

Currently, you can only acquire a maximum of 75 XP points for skill point allocation. While the game may increase this cap in future updates, you must carefully plan your points to maximize your character's power for now.

Solo Skill Tree Selection Overview

Conventionally, you might think that skill unlocks across the three skill tree branches should be as evenly distributed as possible to ensure you can handle everything in a solo game. However, as a solo player, focusing on survival and mobility is sufficient.

Based on your current progress, you shouldn't have accumulated the maximum number of skill points yet, estimated to be around 40. If your situation matches our prediction, then allocating your skill points in half to survival and mobility is optimal.

Solo Mobility Skills

As the name suggests, this skill category allows for greater flexibility in movement and performing complex maneuvers, minimizing potential stamina consumption.

The first recommended skill to unlock is Nimble Climber, which allows for faster climbing and jumping. Once upgraded to level two, you can immediately unlock Marathon Runner, further reducing stamina consumption during movement.

While its effect may not be as immediately noticeable compared to other skills, it's crucial in ARC Raiders because frequent movement is essential to combat to evade both PvP and PvE enemies, especially when playing solo without teammates for cover.

Therefore, Marathon Runner significantly extends your survivability and endurance, allowing you to collect more loot through sustained stealth across various maps.

Next, unlock Youthful Lungs to increase your maximum stamina, followed by Slip and Slide, which allows you to slide faster and farther. Since stamina regenerates while sliding, Slip and Slide effectively provides a stamina boost as well.

After leveling up, you can choose Sturdy Ankles, which reduces fall damage from non-lethal heights. Even non-lethal fall damage is troublesome in ARC Raiders, so this skill is essential just in case.

Next, unlock Carry The Momentum, which allows you to sprint briefly after a roll without consuming stamina. This is great for moving between buildings, as it allows you to create distance from enemies quickly.

If you have enough skill points, prioritize upgrading Carry The Momentum and Sturdy Ankles from the mobility skills mentioned above. They are relatively more important.

Solo Survival Skills

After investing a few basic skill points, the first survival skill worth noting is Agile Croucher, which increases your movement speed while crouching, synergizing well with the unlocked mobility skills.

Because you'll be crouching almost the entire time in ARC Raiders, especially if you're looting alone inside buildings. This skill increases speed and reduces noise while crouching, making you more stealthy.

Next, unlock Revitalizing Squat. It accelerates your stamina regeneration while crouching. Combined with Agile Croucher, this further increases your movement speed bonus in the game.

As an easily overlooked survival skill, In-round Crafting plays an irreplaceable role. It allows you to craft ARC Raiders items on the ground during combat.

Many times, you have to end a fight not because the enemy is too difficult, but because you lack sufficient supplies to continue. This skill allows you to craft shields, bandages, and ammo at any time, surviving longer in dungeons.

The next skill to unlock is Looter's Instincts, which makes loot appear faster when you search containers. Combined with Silent Scavenger, another skill that reduces noise while looting, you can complete looting faster and more stealthily, avoiding being robbed by others.

Of the skills listed above, we recommend maxing out Revitalizing Squat and Silent Scavenger to unlock Suffer In Silence - allowing you to move with less noise when heavily injured.

This skill, combined with Carry The Momentum, allows you to more nimbly jump, dodge, and roll to create distance from enemies when your health is critically low, followed by a dash.

How To Choose Your Ultimate Skill?

The skill combination above is sufficient for most of the early game as a solo player, but if you have enough skill points to unlock the ultimate skill in one branch, you'll need to develop a different plan.

If you want to excel in the survival skill tree, continue unlocking the following skills:

• Broad Shoulders: Increases the maximum weight of items you can carry.
• Stubborn Mule: Reduces the impact of excessive weight on your stamina regeneration.
• Security Breach: Allows you to hack into secure lockers.

To excel in mobility skills, continue unlocking the following:

• Effortless Roll: Consumes less stamina when dodging and rolling.
• Crawl Before You Walk: Crawls faster when you're downed.
• Off The Wall: Allows you to perform wall jumps over greater distances.
• Heroic Leap: Allows you to dash, dodge, and roll over greater distances.

We hope this information helps you become a solid and powerful solo player in ARC Raiders, bringing back tons of loot even without help! Good luck!

While combat is always exciting and fun, completing battles in ARC Raiders isn't the goal; it's a means to earn more items. Some items are usable weapons or medicines, while others are materials that can be crafted into higher-level items.

More importantly, compared to other games in the same genre, the crafting system is particularly crucial in ARC Raiders because a significant proportion of usable items need to be crafted.

To fully utilize this system, you not only need to collect a sufficient number of ARC Raiders BluePrints and upgrade your workshops regularly, but you also need farm blueprints - think of them as crafting recipes.

Next, we'll introduce you to everything about ARC Raiders blueprints.

What Are ARC Raiders Blueprints?

In the game, blueprints are themselves items that can be used as crafting recipes to craft other items in your workshop, such as weapons or attachments. Some blueprints can also upgrade existing gear, making them more powerful than before.

After obtaining a blueprint, you cannot use it directly in the workshop. You must first extract it, then find it in your inventory and click Learn and Consume option to permanently unlock the corresponding recipe.

If you obtain duplicate blueprints while farming, you can sell them through the trading system for usable currency, preventing them from wasting your inventory space.

How To Obtain Blueprints?

Actually, as long as you leave your base in Speranza and go to the surface to raid and search for loot, you have a chance of obtaining blueprints through enemy drops or by looting chests and containers.

The key is that different areas, containers, and enemy types will yield different quantities and levels of blueprints. Therefore, to maximize your farming efficiency, you need to selectively seek out farming methods.

Which Containers Should You Loot?

Containers are actually a general term for all the special "spaces" such as chests/cabinets/backpacks on the map that hide loot. Different containers provide different quantities and types of loot. Containers that may typically contain blueprints include:

• Key Locked Rooms
• Breaching Rooms
• Zipline Rooms
• High-Value Zones
• Raider Caches
• Weapon Crates
• Backpacks & Duffel Bags
• Raider Storage Containers

Raider Storage Containers come in many varieties, but they usually have fixed spawn points on each map. Therefore, you can find them more easily once you are familiar with the map's terrain.

It's important to note that high-value zones have a higher chance of containing blueprints compared to other room-type containers, but the danger is also increased. So, don't farm in this type of zone until you are strong enough.

Completing Game Missions

Besides freely exploring with friends, the game offers various main and side quests. Completing the missions themselves, as well as completing a certain number of missions to fill in the relevant progress, will reward you with blueprints.

More importantly, some of these blueprints can only be obtained by completing missions, making this an indispensable part of this farming guide.

It's worth noting that blueprints are also included in the game's weekly trial rewards, so don't forget about them while completing daily explorations and main quests.

Best Blueprint Farming Maps

Of all the maps, Buried City is the best for farming blueprints because it has a high number of crates and weapon crate spawn points, especially in the various houses and apartments in the southern area.

However, to fully explore the entire map and avoid some traps, it's recommended to start exploring from the northwest corner of the map. Although it's remote, the probability of finding rare blueprints is not low, and you can head south from there.

Before heading south, don't forget to circle around the northern part of the map to find all the apartments and shops, and find all the usable crates or special loot spawn points inside.

If you find any buildings in this area that are dangerous and difficult to infiltrate, you can use ziplines to jump in from the back of the building.

Another good map is Dam Battleground. There are many rooms to explore and loot, and more importantly, compared to other maps, the probability of encountering PvE ARC robots in Dam Battleground is relatively low, making it safer.

If you don't have time to explore the entire Dam Battleground, we recommend prioritizing the destroyed highway in the northeast corner of the map and the unlockable walkway, as these locations hide loot spawn points.

Finally, we recommend Blue Gate map. Its advantage is that various loot containers are widely distributed across the areas, making them easy to find; its disadvantage is the large number of both PvE and PvP enemies.

Therefore, we suggest entering Blue Gate only in a multiplayer team with sufficiently good gear. Otherwise, you're likely to be surrounded and quickly defeated, and other players may steal your loot.

Enemies That Drop Blueprints

Currently, there are over a dozen types of PvE enemies in ARC Raiders, but only ARC Surveyor directly drops blueprints. They appear randomly across various maps. If you see a conspicuous blue laser in the air, it means Surveyor is approaching.

The best way to deal with these enemies is to aim and shoot immediately when they fire their lasers, as they will remove their armor at this time, making them more vulnerable.

After dealing a certain amount of damage to Surveyor, it gains a speed boost and begins its retreat. To counter this mechanic, in addition to high-powered weapons, you'll need gear that increases movement speed or stuns enemies.

Special Tips

While making full use of the farming methods mentioned above, don't forget to acquire enough Survival skill points to unlock Security Breach skill, as it increases the drop rate of rare loot, including blueprints.

If you found this helpful, follow these guidelines to accelerate your blueprint farming journey in ARC Raiders, promoting character leveling and resource accumulation. Good luck!

Besides farming through gameplay, buying blueprints directly from the store is also a great option, and faster! For this purpose, trusted ARC Raiders items store IGGM offers a related and secure service, allowing you to shop with confidence!
