🚨 ARC RAIDERS MOVEMENT MAYHEM: PRO TECH So BROKEN It’ll SHATTER Your Squad! 🏃♂️💥
Casuals CRAWL into graves… but PROS False Roll 19M drops NO DAMAGE & Vault Spring into GOD MODE! 😱 Cold Snap nerfed slides—yet UNLEASHED slide-roll chains that MELT PMCs mid-air! ONE TECH and enemies RAGE QUIT… Master these or stay FREE LOOT! 🔥👀 Jaw-dropping clips inside!
In the cutthroat extraction shooter ARC Raiders, where ARC robots swarm procedurally generated maps like the blizzard-ravaged Blue Gate and loot-packed Stella Montis, movement isn’t just survival—it’s supremacy. Developed by Embark Studios and published by Nexon, the game demands raiders master fluid traversal to outmaneuver PMCs, dodge Shredder barrages, and snatch blueprints for extraction. The December 16, 2025, Cold Snap 1.7.0 patch—introducing wintry map conditions, skill resets for 2,000 Coins per point, and ARC AI tweaks—subtly reshaped mobility: slides now cost stamina even mid-air, but buffs to Effortless Roll and new traversal fixes amplified high-skill plays.
Community creators like BluePawClaw (71K views on “How to Move Like a PRO”) and Ronin! (49K on “Complete PRACTICAL Movement Guide”) have dissected these mechanics, revealing “broken” tech that turns raiders into untouchable phantoms. X clips from players like @THump (560 likes on slide-roll nerf complaints) and @aimkeyx (5K+ likes on wild vaults) prove pros exploit every pixel. This guide compiles them: basics for newbies, intermediates for squads, and advanced/broken for solos dominating leaderboards.
Core Controls and Stamina Fundamentals
Standard binds: WASD movement, Shift sprint, Ctrl crouch/slide, Space jump, Mouse4/Alt dodge roll (rebind to mouse for latency edge). Stamina (~100 base) fuels sprints, rolls, vaults—depletion triggers “fat rolls” (short, sluggish). Adrenaline shots grant ~100-120m free sprint; hold guns to slow drain. Walk (toggle V) regens fastest with Calming Stroll perk; run-slides (sprint > slide > repeat) cover sprint distance at half cost. Post-patch, slides demand momentum—no “dead slides” uphill.
Fall damage tiers: 6m safe (no roll), 10m with dodge roll, 16m ledge grab. Beyond? Stagger or death—unless tech intervenes.
Basics: Vaults, Rolls, and Safe Traversal
Vaults (approach + Space) skip obstacles; hold S to cancel accidental mantles mid-firefight. Ledge hangs: Ctrl drops straight, Space + direction launches. Zip lines: sprint-jump entry boosts speed; vertical grabs negate falls if timed pre-impact.
Dodge rolls (Shift + direction) evade 8 ways; sprint-queue (tap Shift pre-roll) maximizes distance. Backward rolls (sprint forward > S + direction > roll) reverse momentum instantly. Slides (Shift + Ctrl) displace hitboxes; jump-into-slide for PvP jukes. Bunny hops (sprint + spam Space) minimize spread—shoot jump-start for shotguns like Anvil.
Reddit’s r/ArcRaiders praises these for “sick potential,” with threads like “Some movement tech” demoing ledge hops (grab > side-move + Space).
Intermediate: Momentum Chains and Combat Evasion
Slide-roll (slide > direction + roll): cancels momentum, redirects behind cover—post-patch nerfed acceleration but retains lethality vs. shotguns. Slide-roll-slide chains make hitboxes erratic; diagonal slides place barricades rearward. Reload cancel (roll mid-reload) on single-shots like Rattler skips animation.
Snap hook: grapple (gray crosshair = out-of-range) > jump/slide end for pushes; pocket instantly post-latch to save it. Ladder bounce (run-jump > interact > opposite jump) niches verticals.

Advanced/Broken: False Rolls, Vault Spring, and Exploits
False Roll (exhaust stamina via spams > roll off fall): doubles distance (~19m safe)—”game-changer” for cliff escapes, per BluePawClaw. Synergizes with ledge grabs (16m max).
Vault Spring (Mobility capstone): post-vault Space jumps free sprint-burst. Chains with Vaults on Vaults for “god-mode climbing”—36 points debated, but pros like Taxi2g call it “fundamental.” Combos: vault > spring > roll for PvP flanks.
Broken tech from “BROKEN Movement Tech” vid: sideways ledge spam (W+D + Space spam) infinite-traverses; slip-line hold (Space + interact spam) baits from towers; shoot-switch-roll (fire > swap > roll > fire) seamless DPS. Slide-mines (slide + deploy) block pursuits.
X erupts: @THump rages slide-roll nerf (“lose 1v1s now”); @PeanutNo1Fan clips “new tech” discoveries. Ronin! stresses “cover dodge” practicality: peek > roll-back.

Post-Cold Snap Shifts and Pro Tips
Blizzards reward Mobility: low-vis favors flanks. Patch fixed collisions but nerfed slide stamina—”funky” per testers. Pros rebind rolls to mouse; disable ADS smoothing for snaps. Map tips: Stella Montis towers for false rolls; Blue Gate roofs for vaults. Squads: one Survival looter, two Mobility flankers.
Community splits: Reddit’s “Movement Speed Analysis” data-dumps perks; X hypes “wild tech” clips (e.g., @Giriiss: “best for content”). YouTubers warn: flashy > dead—position trumps acrobatics.
Mastery elevates ARC Raiders from Tarkov-clone to parkour shooter. With Season 2 whispers, Embark’s weekly patches ensure meta flux—adapt via resets. Raiders: chain false rolls, spring vaults, or perish in snow. Enlist, move like pros, extract legends.
