Extraction Basics (2025)
The essentials for ARC Raiders.
Risk management
Only take what you can afford to lose on early raids. Map the exits and a backup route before engaging. Sound (RAIDER pings, footsteps) is your early-warning.
Gear tiers
Start with starter kits to learn maps and AI patterns. Extract with loot to fund better weapons; don’t rush the deepest zones until your kit can handle them.
Co-op
A coordinated 3-stack beats a solo every time — split roles (point, support, rear). Share extra medkits; a downed teammate is a lost raid if you can’t revive safely.
Go deeper
Pair this with the rest of the hub for the complete picture.
