ARC Raiders
ARC Raiders combat
ARC Raiders combat is short. This page covers first shots, lane holds, and resets around extraction timers.
Pick the first shot
Win the first angle. ARC Raiders players who wide-swing every door lose to someone waiting on machine patrols.
Keep the crosshair at the height the next player will appear. Fancy movement is slower than a ready lane.
Hold a lane
One lane is enough. Cover loot value and let teammates take the rest.
Easy Anti-Cheat updates do not change this: a calm hold still beats a panic swing.
Reset after the spray
After the spray, reload behind cover and count steps. topside raids against ARC machines and other raiders punishes people who chase while empty.
If the fight is even, leave. third parties is still there on the next pass.
