ARC Raiders is a multiplayer, extraction adventure, set in a lethal future earth, ravaged by a mysterious mechanized threat known as ARC. enlist. resist
Unruly weather conditions, ARC showing up uninvited, Raiders lost in the storm, caught short of a defib... There's many things can get in the way of a Topside photoshoot, but nothing can stop @DirectorOfGametography from documenting the raiding experience for future generations. 🎥
Keep an eye out Topside, maybe you'll land the next lead role!⭐
"The cycle of karma always comes back around!" 🔁 It might 'just' be 7 days Topside, but it's a lifetime of experiences, memories and Raiders saved and lost. Raider @deefactual shared all his highs and lows from a week in the Rust Belt - Grab some popcorn (preferably without the POP) and settle in for a wild adventure! 🍿
You all might have your personal definition of what "No Raider left behind" means... This is certainly a 'unique' definition 😂 Now excuse us while we look for a defib...
In Speranza, everyone has an agenda and the Traders are no different. They’ll send you Topside on missions in exchange for rewards, slowly revealing more about who they are and what they want for Speranza’s future. It’s best to get to know them well, so let’s start out with an introduction.
LANCE
Lance is one of the most talented medics Toledo has on offer. An eccentric, bubbly android, Lance is always trying his best to fit in amongst the humans, regularly singing off-pitch at midnight karaoke, shopping for the newest underground fashion trends, or boxing in Speranza’s fight ring. While amnesia has robbed him of his memories from who he was before he arrived, those trapped memories won’t stay gone forever.
APOLLO
Speranza isn’t Apollo’s first rodeo. A traveling mechanic, Apollo has chosen Speranza as his home for the time being, fixing up whatever Raiders need fixing. While he can at times seem cryptic about his past, Apollo can’t help but try and make wherever he is a better place. Whether that’s running a kids’ football team, or keeping the library stocked with books, Apollo knows there’s more to life than just survival.
TIAN WEN
Most people underground haven’t seen more of Tian Wen than her eyes. Speranza’s resident gun craftsman, Tian Wen is a recluse who seemingly prefers the company of her tools to any human being. She wears her disdain for most Raiders on her sleeve, and only interacts with them out of her own interests. But while she would never admit it, she has a soft spot or two for things in need of repair — action figures, weapons, and sometimes even people.
SHANI
The eagle-eyed head of security for Speranza, Shani has contingency plans for her contingency plans. She is Speranza’s resident ARC expert, and Celeste’s biggest resource when it comes to planning successful skirmishes topside. While most of Speranza’s inhabitants know her to be obsessive, suspicious, and paranoid, Shani doesn’t mind her reputation as long as she’s able to keep her city safe.
CELESTE
A charismatic Raider leader in Speranza, Celeste is the ubiquitous symbol of hope for humanity in the underground. As the leader of the Raiders, she is responsible for keeping morale up, even as the ARC attacks worsen, and when tragedy comes to pass. While she tries to keep the pressure off, you can find her staying up strategizing into the wee hours of the night, furiously playing darts by the bar, and drinking coffee all day to keep her eyes open.
“As we were developing the ideas and visuals for the game, a new world set in the far future of the post-post apocalypse, we established some pillars to adhere to. It needed to be grounded to be believable, and inviting to contrast the dark premise. To achieve this, we had to strike a balance, finding the beauty in decay, and weighing the relatable with the imaginative.
We were inspired by brutalist architecture and industrial design, as well as the layers of history that peek through, despite the passing of time. At its core, the presentational aspect is meant to be breathtaking - a celebration of the majesty of nature, which can be felt in the vivid naturalistic lighting, grand skies, and nature reclaiming the influence of man.”

We’re making room for you in Speranza, quite literally! Here’s an update from the team on what to expect when it comes to lodging:
As every experienced Raider knows, the abandoned wilderness of the Rust Belt is vast and unforgiving. Missions Topside are necessary, but even the tireless Raider needs a place to lay their bruised head - and all their souvenirs - after a long day of gunning down ARC.
Enter, the Raider Den. Shani will be kind enough to lend you a cozy bedroom to call your own. Well, “cozy” might be stretching it. “Bedroom,” too. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a metal cot, peeling decorations, and a door frame with a notable lack of door. But hey, it’s better than living Topside!
Fortunately, you won’t have to live in squalor forever. As you progress through ARC Raiders, your Den will progress with you. As players ourselves, we know how rewarding it is for you to visually see the progress your Raider is making, and the loot they’re accumulating, so our intention with the Den is to do just that. Trinkets you find Topside will litter the floors and the shelves of your den. Your best guns will be proudly displayed on the walls.
The Raider Den screen will be a living representation of your progress. Your highest-value items will be proudly displayed on your shelves. (Even if the most valuable thing you own at the moment is fifteen rubber ducks.) Think of the Den as a bird’s nest for all your trinkets, old world oddities, guns, and fancy weapon attachments.
We plan to continue refining the Den. We’ll also try to get some of those mystery stains off the walls before you get here…
Tech Test 2 has now officially ended, servers have gone offline and you will no longer be able to connect to the game.
On behalf of the entire ARC Raiders team I want to take this moment to thank you all so much for trying our game these past few days.
Didn't get to join this time? No problem, we’ll be back!
And don't forget to wishlist ARC Raiders on Steam, Epic or Playstation.

ARC Raiders
From a safe distance a threat might look trivial and small, but Raiders who've dared breaching an Assessor know they're BIG trouble.
Thank you to @RoyceeKeanuu for capturing these cinematic first moments of Raiders adapting to this new Topside terror!
