ARC Raiders Guides
23 guides written by the people who run the ARC Raiders store. Unlock routes, event timings, fixes and what is actually worth your time.
ARC Raiders Soul's Offering: Every Item for All 4 Stages
Advanced ARC Powercells are the biggest ask, and the two Epic trinkets for Stage 3 are worth holding instead of selling.
ARC Raiders 2.3 Patch Notes: Souls Offering and Shield Buff
Six rare weapon blueprints now drop on any major map condition, while the Expedition Vault is being switched off and its contents moved to your stash.
ARC Raiders Update 2.1.0: Patch Notes and PvE Toggle
Most of 2.1.0 is fixes, but the Sprinting on Fumes change closes a stamina loophole Embark calls a balance problem.
How to Kill the Bully and Skulker in ARC Raiders
One charges you down behind heavy armour; the other waits until you look away. Different fights, different positioning.
How to Get the Emperor Gateway Conduit in ARC Raiders
Most current guides say the three couplers come from Redirection payloads, and the Fallen Emperor's door takes the key they build.
ARC Raiders Frigate: How to Board, Sabotage and Escape
The Frigate can't be hurt from the ground: you ride a reclaimer up, then need three Raiders on the levers before the Power Cores go down.
ARC Raiders PvE Mode: Test Results and What Comes Next
Embark's one-week PvE toggle removes player-to-player damage at the cost of lower loot value, and four map conditions, including the Frigate, stay PvPvE only.
ARC Raiders Weapon Amplification: Every Upgrade by Gun
Amplification is a one-way upgrade path that can turn a Burletta full-auto or put a scope on the Renegade. This is the per-gun list and what it takes to get there.
How to Unlock the Outpost in ARC Raiders
The Outpost is gated behind a three-stage project, and the Research Station behind it is where Amplified Weapons start. Here is every step and material.
ARC Raiders Reward Pass: How Reward Points Replace Cred
Cred is gone, Raider Decks became the Legacy Pass, and Feats now pay Reward Points on a weekly cap. Here is the math Embark published.
ARC Raiders Skill Tree: Every Choice After Frozen Trail
Which of the 15 choice-node skills to take in each branch, how many points each pick needs, and what a reset will cost you in Coins.
Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key Location in ARC Raiders
Find the Confiscation Room door in the Blue Gate tunnels, check the key's listed stats, and compare the four Blue Gate keys.
ARC Raiders Frozen Trail: Release Date, New Map and Weapons
What the Frozen Trail 2.0 patch actually added to ARC Raiders, how to unlock the Outpost, what replaced Cred, and the free-play window to October 12.
Stella Montis Archives Key Location in ARC Raiders
Three of the four Stella Montis keys still open "a door somewhere". This is the one that has actually been mapped, and it is the only Epic of the set.
Buried City JKV Employee Access Card Location in ARC Raiders
The Space Travel frontage makes this building easy to spot, and Buried City unlocks after six rounds — so this is one of the first key rooms you can actually reach.
Dam Control Tower Key Location in ARC Raiders
Shani's drone-hunting quest pays this Epic key, and the room it opens sits at the top of the tower in the middle of the Dam. Plus the Spaceport mix-up to avoid.
ARC Raiders Queen: Where to Find It and How to Beat It
One map condition, three maps, one fixed spot. The armour comes off the face first, the Electrical Surge is hers to fire, and the reactor is one third of a Legendary recipe.
ARC Raiders Matriarch: Where It Spawns and How to Kill It
Three maps, one map condition, a shield that eats Wolfpacks and a red core behind the faceplates. Spawn areas, every ability, the loot table and why the adds decide the fight.
Riven Tides Keycards: Hotel Rooms and Where Each Opens
The hotel cards are Common, the crane and records cards Uncommon, and one of them has only an 'Unknown' source on the wiki. Here is what is actually documented for each door.
ARC Raiders Key Locations: Every Key and What It Opens
Keys are single-use, and Embark says the room behind one rolls better loot the rarer the key is. Here is the full list map by map, including the four Stella Montis doors the wiki still cannot pin down.
ARC Raiders Trials Season 6 Start Date and Scorta Rewards
The Scorta ladder closes with Season 5 and the Trials board stays empty until Frozen Trail lands. Where your final rank puts you, and what Embark still has not said.
ARC Raiders Expedition 5: Requirements and What Carries Over
Stages 3 and 4 are where most Caravans stall, and signing up to depart is a separate step from finishing one — here is everything to clear before the 5th Expedition closes.
All 83 ARC Raiders Blueprint Locations (2026)
All 83 ARC Raiders blueprints in one table, with maps, conditions, drop sources and detailed farming routes for the most sought-after blueprints.
