The Search for Survivors — ARC Raiders Walkthrough

Find scattered survivors in ARC Raiders, exploring settlements and facing ARC resistance to secure vital knowledge and resources for humanity.

Your journey in ARC Raiders begins with a desperate search for scattered survivors. These individuals hold vital knowledge and resources crucial for humanity's survival against the relentless ARC threat. Explore abandoned settlements, listen for distress signals, and be prepared for immediate ARC resistance as you attempt to bring them back to safety.

The Initial Landing and the Search

Upon crashing onto the alien planet, your primary objective is to locate any surviving pockets of humanity. The ARC has systematically purged most settlements, leaving behind only ruins and the occasional survivor hiding from the patrols. Your starting gear is minimal, so prioritize finding basic supplies and any intact communication devices.

Key Objectives in the Search

  • Locate Distress Sals: Keep an ear out for faint radio transmissions or visual cues indicating a survivor's presence.
  • Explore Abandoned Structures: Buildings, bunkers, and even makeshift shelters might house survivors or provide essential loot.
  • Engage ARC Patrols: Expect immediate hostility from ARC units. Prioritize stealth when possible, but be ready for combat.
  • Secure Survivors: Once found, escort them back to a designated safe zone or your base of operations. They may offer valuable intel or unique skills.

Early Game Survival Tips

The first few hours are critical. Focus on scavenging for ammunition, crafting materials, and basic medical supplies. Learn to identify different ARC unit types and their attack patterns. Understanding the environment, including potential cover points and chokeholds, will be vital for your survival and the success of your rescue missions.

Potential Survivor Locations

Survivors are often found in areas that were once populated. Look for:

  1. Old Residential Districts: These areas are likely to have been targeted but may still contain hidden individuals.
  2. Underground Bunkers: Many survivors sought refuge in subterranean facilities.
  3. Remote Outposts: Isolated research stations or mining facilities might have held out longer.

Remember, every survivor you rescue is a step closer to rebuilding and fighting back against the ARC.
