Hello,

I’m 제이메르, a Nexon Picker 😊

I’m back with another ARC Raiders guide today.

If you’re just getting started, I’ve rounded up tips on how to level up, recommended skills, and item farming!

(There’s also a Nexon Cash giveaway event at the very bottom of this post, so be sure to join!!)

Tips for Leveling Up

In ARC Raiders, whether you successfully extract or not, almost everything you do during that round gives you EXP.

Attacking or destroying ARC, searching, and fighting other Raiders all contribute to your experience gains.

In short, the more you move around and interact, the faster you level up!
You can even gain EXP just by attempting to loot a downed Raider or ARC.

*TIP

Early on, rather than focusing on taking down ARC, it’s better to play around exploration and farming if you want EXP.
Even if someone has already passed through an area, you still earn experience there, so squad play over solo feels much more efficient!

So why level up in the first place?
Because you can learn new skills!
There are lots of useful skills for both combat and farming, so leveling quickly in the early game is important.

Recommended Skills

Each time you level up, you gain 1 skill point.
The current level cap hasn’t been officially revealed yet, but since there’s an achievement for reaching level 75, I’m guessing it’s 75.

There’s no skill reset feature yet, and the number of skills you can learn is limited, so it’s important to choose carefully.

The skill tree is broadly divided into three categories: Training (Attack), Mobility (Stamina/Speed), and Survival (Farming) .

It depends on your playstyle, of course, but there are definitely some great early-game skills worth picking up.

• Crafting During a Round
  This lets you craft items even in the middle of a fight.
  Even if you don’t have bandages or shields on hand, you can make them right away as long as you have the materials, which makes your runs much more stable.

• Marathon Runner
  Reduces stamina consumption while moving.
  Since you’ll be running around a lot, this skill gives solid value.

• Lungs of Youth
  Increases your maximum stamina.
  It’s useful for farming or escaping, and it gives you more room to react even when you run into stronger ARC!

I personally prefer a farming-focused playstyle over fighting ARC or Raiders, so I’m mainly investing in mobility and survival skills! There’s no single right answer, so feel free to build around what suits your own style.

Item Farming Guide

If you head out with a loadout equipped with the Looting Mark, you’ll be able to bring back a lot more loot.
If you extract successfully, store your items or sell what you don’t need to free up slots.

Your farming priority is up to you, but
I recommend securing quest items first, then crafting materials.

When you hover over an item, its acquisition location is displayed, and you can also check it on the map by icon.
For example, if you want to find wire, explore spots with electricity or technology tags.

If you keep repeating this process, you can reach a total accumulated loot value of 1,000,000 and complete the achievement “Long Haul.”

Especially during this PEAK event period, November 3-14, if you complete this mission, you can receive 10,000 won in Nexon Cash, so definitely give it a try!

It felt difficult at first, but once I got used to it, taking down ARC and farming even by myself turned out to be really fun.

I think even players who are new to the extraction shooter genre will find ARC Raiders a very approachable and enjoyable place to start. 🙌
