4 ARC Raiders pages in Beginner Guides.

• Beginner's GuideIn your first hours of ARC Raiders, take free loadouts onto Dam Battlegrounds, avoid ARC instead of fighting it, keep what you find in your Safe Pocket, extract early, and spend your first Coins on stash space. Most of what you carry is lost when you die, so learn the maps before you risk good gear.
• How a Raid WorksIn ARC Raiders you choose a loadout in Speranza, deploy Topside on a timer of about 30 minutes, loot, and leave by elevator, Raider Hatch or Ballistic Gondola. If you are knocked out you lose everything except your Safe Pocket; a Free Loadout risks nothing but has no Safe Pocket.
• PvP GuideTo win PvP fights in ARC Raiders, shoot in bursts and keep moving, break line of sight when hurt, and save your dodge for grenades. To stay friendly, use proximity chat and watch whether a Raider holsters, because the Don't Shoot emote is also used as bait. Matchmaking leans toward Raiders who play as you do.
• Solo GuideYou can play ARC Raiders solo by setting Fill Squad to Off and pressing Play. Embark tracks your solo playstyle separately since update 1.36.0, and it tries to match equal squad sizes, but solo gets no built-in compensation and squads can still appear.
