If you want a specific Arc Raiders blueprint without giving someone access to your account, Self-Play Delivery is the straightforward option. You play your own character, meet the booster in a live raid, receive the purchased blueprint, and extract with it yourself. That differs from Piloted Delivery, where the booster plays on your account. What “Self-Play” Blueprint Delivery Actually Means […]

Switching squad size without changing your raid plan can cost you good loot after the matchmaking changes. For the best ARC Raiders solo duo trio strategy, choose your queue around the objective instead of using the same route and risk level for every raid. Solo, Duo, and Trio now have separate playstyle tracking, while Update 1.38 made matchmaking work harder […]

Running out of stash space forces bad decisions. You sell a workshop material, recycle a quest item, or break up a ready loadout just to make room for the next extraction. The best ARC Raiders stash expansion order is to buy the cheap early upgrades quickly, stop around 208 slots if your Coin income is still unstable, then push toward […]

If one Level 3 bench is blocking gear you actually use, farm that station yourself. If several benches are behind and your playtime is limited, a Crafting Station Boost is the faster route. Do not max everything without checking your Expedition plan, because Workshop progress resets when your Raider departs. For most players, Refiner Level 2 should come first, followed […]

Lockdown gets frustrating when you keep winning fights but the challenge bars barely move. The fastest solution is not more kills. Use every free Killstreak, move early for High Value zones, and deliberately flip enemy controlled objectives instead of wandering between fights. Lockdown Casual is built around Drone Labs on Verdansk. You enter with your Custom Loadout, continuously respawn, and […]

Do not hold your whole Workshop back while hunting one Cat Bed or Very Comfortable Pillow. The better progression order is to upgrade Scrappy to Level 2 as soon as the Dog Collar drops, reach Level 3 early for stronger passive materials, then keep your essential benches moving while you collect the rarer Level 4 and Level 5 items. Scrappy […]

ARC Raiders Blueprints vs Weapons is the debate that really decides what your grind will feel like. It shapes your overall progression and gameplay. Both work in a distinctive manner with one giving you instant power while the other allowing you to craft permanently. That difference matters after a bad raid. That is why buying one weapon can feel good […]

The ARC Raiders Fourth Expedition checklist comes down to three jobs: protect the rare materials, finish the Caravan stages in order, and build enough item value for the Load Stage without using the gear you still need. The original Fourth Expedition departure window ran from July 7 to July 21, 2026. If you are reading after that date, check the […]

To make it out alive in ARC Raiders, your best bet is to give a high priority to healing. Among the early-game healing items, Bandage is up there with the best of them.  Learning how to make it in ARC Raiders will be a lifesaver time and again during those nail-biting showdowns with tough enemies. Plus, it’s super easy to […]

If you find yourself constantly running out of bullets mid-battle, don’t lose hope. Learning to make your own ammo is one of the key survival skills in ARC Raiders and can be a total game-changer.  You’ll often find yourself scrambling for ammo during raids, but having the skill to craft it yourself means you’ll be far less likely to get […]
