🚨 Arc Raiders PATCH SURVIVORS: “80K XP PER RAID” FARM That LAUGHS at NERFS – Hit LEVEL 75 in DAYS! 🚨

Post-patch blues got you stuck at Lv30? 😩 Squads printing XP while you scrap?

What if ONE map + “rocket spam” = 80k+ EVERY RUN… Bastions MELTING, loot exploding, ZERO PvP deaths?

The BUNKER META pros won’t share – FARM BEFORE 1.4 WIPES IT! 👇

Arc Raiders, Embark Studios’ free-to-play PvPvE extraction shooter that has drawn over 15 million players since its October full launch, continues to dominate Steam charts with peak concurrents topping 500k. Set in a biomechanical wasteland where raiders battle ARC robots and rival squads for loot, progression hinges on reaching level 75 to unlock prestige and endgame crafting. But recent patches – 1.2.0’s North Line update (November 13) and 1.3.0’s Duck Update (November 20) – slashed XP from big ARCs like Bastions and Bombardiers, sparking outcry on Reddit’s r/ArcRaiders.

Yet solos and squads are adapting with a meta-redefining farm: the Spaceport Hidden Bunker event, yielding 80k+ XP per 30-40 minute raid via relentless Bastion/Bombardier kills. YouTuber Vini – Arc Raiders’ viral guide, viewed 23k+ times, breaks it down: “This method gives 80k+ XP per raid” post-1.2.0 nerfs. Community data confirms: Damage XP (per part destroyed), kill bonuses (+430-500 XP/ARC), and looting fragments stack massively, offsetting nerfs.

XP Breakdown: How 80k Happens Post-Nerf

Patches nerfed big ARC XP – Bastions/Bombardiers down ~20-30% – but volume farming prevails. Core sources:

Damage XP: 1-5 XP per point dealt; shred legs/cores for 2k-5k per Bastion.
Kill XP: 430-500 base + 250/part (4-6 parts/ARC).
Looting: 200-500/container (even empty), 500-2k/ARC corpse, 500/Raider body.
Survival: ~181 XP/minute.
Extract: 1-2k bonus.
Quests: Stack 5-30k (e.g., “Damage Vespers”).

10 Bastions/Bombardiers + loots = 60-80k; add quests/Trials for 100k peaks.

The Bunker Meta: Spaceport Domination

Map/Event: Spaceport’s Hidden Bunker (antenna puzzle unlocks loot/XP). Spawns Bastion/Bombardier waves; low PvP in friendly lobbies.

Loadout (Lv20+ Unlock):

Primary: Hullcracker (rocket launcher) – buys from Gunsmith (~15k coins/100 ammo). Devastates ARC legs/cores.
Augments: Looting Mk2/3 (extra pockets), Survivor (weight/stamina).
Utility: Grenades (Showstopper stun), Adrenaline, Meds. Melee for Ticks.
Cost Recovery: Sell Bastion Cells (high value) post-run.

Step-by-Step 80k Run:

Queue: Spaceport (20+ min left for Bunker spawn). Friendly comms: “Bunker farm?”
Hotspots: Southeast/north spawns near Bunker/Depot. Lure Bastions to rooms for cover.
Kill Loop: Hullcracker legs/mid → Grenades if swarmed. 5-min respawns. Pop-shot Bombardiers from Bunker cover.
Loot All: Interact fragments (multi-XP), containers. Squad-share: Leave 1 loot/ARC for assists.
Extract: Raider Hatch (quiet) or Heli. Full bag? Drop junk.

“58k in 40 min,” reports one guide; scale to 80k with quests/efficiency.

Alt Farms: Queen Cheese & More

Queen Blaze Trap (50k XP): Harvester event – stick blue grenade (Blaze Trap) under head, shoot to detonate. 3-5 min repeats; endgame gear bonus. Patch-risky.

Stella Montis Seed Vault: 10-15k/5 min newbie farm.

Trials/Quests: Weekly 10-50k; align with Bunker (e.g., ARC damage).

AFK Variant: Late-queue looted containers for partial XP.

Skill Tree & Habits: XP Multipliers

Red Survival first: Security Breach (free lockers), Looter’s Instinct (speed), Broad Shoulders (carry). Rush Breach Specialist (Lv64). Avoid Mobility early.

Habits: Loot EVERYTHING (empty = XP), damage > kills, quests always, night/storm for spawns.

Raider Tales: From Nerf Rage to 75 Blitz

X’s @JGODYT: Lv55 solo in 62 hours via quests/ARCs. Reddit: “80k per round” beats pre-nerf grinds. “Bunker changed everything – 75 in a week,” per Vini viewers.

1.3.0 nerfed Venator/Hullcracker slightly, but Bunker holds. Roadmap: Prestige buffs, new maps.

Critics: “Grindy,” but data shows 15-20k/hour safe vs. 80k peaks. Enlist. Bunker up. Level fast.
