Arc Raiders could be the extraction shooter that finally brings …

Movement Mastery: Tech That Dodges Bullets and Falls

Movement isn’t just running—it’s an art in ARC Raiders. Veterans emphasize “slide-rolls,” chaining slides and rolls while switching directions mid-animation to evade fire indoors. Pair with Heroic Leap for extended rolls or Slip and Slide for longer glides, making you unpredictable in close quarters.

“Momentum control” lets players zip down ziplines, hop off at full speed, and slide into combat without losing velocity—avoid sliding up stairs, which kills speed. Falling grabs are a lifesaver: Reach for any ledge, zipline, or ARC mid-drop to negate damage, enabling risky escapes from towers like Spaceport’s central spire.

The legendary Snap Hook grapple scales buildings instantly, hooks ground for horizontal boosts, and accesses overlooked loot spots. Time “perfect falls” with rolls on landing (enhanced by Ready to Roll skill) to eliminate damage entirely. Reddit tips add: Run weaponless for speed bursts, melee Ticks/rollers silently, and tap-crouch on noisy floors for stealth.

ARC Raiders Hidden Movement Mechanics

Combat Secrets: Outsmart ARCs and Raiders

Pro play thrives on underrated tools. Smoke bombs blind foes—follow with tagging grenades to track movement inside while invisible. Impact grenades shred shields around corners, destroy shredders (3-4 hits), and are “cheap MVPs.” One-hand ADS peeks (e.g., Anvil) expose minimal body; mix crouch/slide peeks to bait shots.

Downed? Survival augment + tap-crawl regens 75% health if still. Hold sprint off heights for quick drops, shift for athletic combat rolls. ARC canisters recharge shields mid-fight; Hornet Drivers stun heavies like Bison. Ziplines are indestructible—use downward for speed traps.

X users highlight red lockers in industrial zones for legendary blueprints, and birds fleeing as player detectors.

The Loot Bible: Keep, Sell, Recycle

Stash management is king—hoard wrong, and you’re broke. Track resources at workbenches (eye icon marks needs). Recycle blues like unusable weapons (4 metal + 5 simple parts) over selling; rusted tools yield springs. Community cheat sheets from Reddit’s u/pRoDeeD categorize ruthlessly:

Category
Keep (Quests/Projects/Workshop)
Sell (Caps Only)
Recycle (Mats Yield)

Basics
ARC Alloys, Batteries, Duct Tape, Springs, Wires
Rubber/Plastic excess (3 stacks max)
Fabric → Durable Cloth; Low-durability weapons

Greens/Blues
Simple/Complex Gun Parts, Mechanical Components
Excess green shields (craftable)
Rusted Tools (8 metal +1 spring), Broken Radios (3 sensors +2 wires)

ARC Parts
Leaper Pulse (4x Utility), Tick Pods (8x Workshop)
Spotter Relays
Shredder Gyros (mech + alloys)

Misc
Mod Components, Batteries, Assorted Seeds (trade)
Lightbulbs, Mixtapes (10k)
Turbo Pumps (3 springs, topside)

Data from ARCtracker and wiki confirms: Prioritize springs/gun parts as endgame bottlenecks; Celeste trades seeds 1:1 for metals. Looting MK3 augment maxes inventory (80kg + slots).

Prime Loot Hotspots: Risk vs. Reward

Maps reward bold plays. Dam Battlegrounds’ Control Tower top floor holds weapon crates amid PvP frenzy; Buried City’s New District (Hospital/Town Hall) packs variety. Blue Gate’s underground tunnels via Checkpoint ziplines yield elite gear, low ARC if stealthy. Spaceport’s locked A6 Tower (key req’d) and Rocket Assembly overflow.

Prima Games and IGN pinpoint: Red lockers = schematics; upper floors/drawers for blues. X intel: Raider caches tick like clocks.

Trader Plays & Economy Hacks

Celeste’s daily rotations: Buy springs/sensors (5 max). Compress via recycling (Sparanza > topside). Free loadouts refill stash risk-free; upgrade chicken drone for mats.

Wiki recycling yields: Broken Guidance = 4 processors; prioritize for hatch keys.

Final Verdict: Raid Smarter, Extract Richer

ARC Raiders thrives on these under-the-radar edges. As one 700-hour vet put it: “Recycling > selling; movement > mag dumps.” With 2026 updates looming (new maps, events), mastering now sets you apart. Check wikis, track resources, and hit those red lockers—your Speranza awaits.
