Hello,

I’m 제이메르, a Nexon Picker 😊

The heart of the extraction shooter genre is all about “getting out.”
Today, I’ve put together the extraction points and a few quick tips for the early maps: Dam Battleground, Buried City, and Space Base.

If you’re a beginner who keeps failing to extract, make sure to read through this!

(There’s also a Nexon Cash giveaway event at the very bottom of this post, so don’t miss it!!)

Dam Battleground

This is the first battleground to unlock!
Farming hotspots include places like the Hydroponics Dome Complex, Laboratory, Control Tower, and Power Plant.

The extraction points are made up of 4 elevators and 4 hatches in total. I’ve marked them on the map!

You can extract using either an elevator or a hatch, but hatches only open if you have a key.

Most of the time, you’ll be using the elevator, but once you call it, you need to wait around 20 to 30 seconds for the door to open.
An alarm goes off during that time, so I recommend taking cover immediately.
It’s risky, because nearby ARCs will swarm in, and other Raiders may head over too.

That’s why you’ll sometimes find downed Raiders lying in front of the elevator…

You may also run into Raiders who want to extract together.

In that case, hold down the G key and shout “Don’t shoot!” It’s a signal that means both sides can leave safely without opening fire.

If you want to head back quickly, just use the “Return to Speranza” interaction from inside!

I played about 10 matches, and most players seemed focused on farming. In my experience, ARCs were a much bigger threat than Raiders. ARCs hit so hard..!

Buried City

The second map has 4 subway station extraction points and 4 hatches. Unlike the previous map, there are no elevators here, so you’ll need to extract through the subway stations.

Normally, you place a ping on the map and head straight to your destination, but subway stations work a little differently.

You have to find the path leading underground yourself. If you select the station icon on the map, the entrance location will appear, so be sure to ping that exact spot before moving!

Follow the route downward and you’ll reach the station, but you may run into ARCs or Raiders on the way..! Watch out for sudden surprises!
If you happen to meet another Raider, shout “Don’t shoot!” You might be able to avoid fighting and extract together.

Space Base

The third map sits right in the middle in terms of difficulty.
Just like Dam Battleground, it has 4 elevators and 4 hatches.

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but Space Base feels like it has noticeably more ARCs.

The extraction method itself is the same as in Dam Battleground, so please keep that in mind!

Night Raids Are Worth Trying Too!

For reference, all three maps open a “Night Raid” at set intervals. The difficulty is higher than the standard version.

There are fewer active return points, and the hatches are closed as well.

There are more ARCs, and Raiders also come rushing in!
On the other hand, the loot is said to be pretty rewarding, so it may be worth giving extraction a try there too. :D

That wraps up this guide to extraction tips for ARC Raiders’ Dam Battleground, Buried City, and Space Base.
