ARC Raiders

In a post-apocalyptic future, you are a Raider living in Speranza, an underground society, and venture onto the surface where mechanized ARC threats roam. Play alone or in a party of up to three, with other Raiders also pursuing their own goals. Each raid involves exploring ruined locations, searching for useful loot, and navigating threats from ARC machines and other players. You can fight, avoid danger, or work with other Raiders; reaching an extraction point lets you bring your gathered haul back to Speranza. Maps can vary with weather, enemies, and other conditions. Back underground, use scavenged materials and looted ARC parts to craft and upgrade equipment in your workshop. Complete Trader quests to earn rewards and experience, develop your Raider through Survival, Mobility, and Conditioning skills, and take on Trials for leaderboard rewards.

Scavenge a machine-ruled wasteland solo or with up to two allies, fight ARC and rival Raiders, then extract your haul.
