Hello!

I'm 제이메르, a NEXON PEAK creator 😊

I'm back with another ARC Raiders guide.

If you're just getting started, I've put together some leveling tips, skill recommendations, and item farming tips!

(There's also a NEXON Cash event at the bottom of this post, so be sure to take part!)

Leveling Tips

In ARC Raiders, whether you extract successfully or not, almost everything you do during a round earns you XP.

Attacking or destroying ARC machines, searching for loot, and fighting other Raiders all earn you XP.

The key is simple: the more you move around and interact with things, the faster you level up!
Even just attempting to loot a fallen Raider or ARC machine earns you XP.

*TIP

Early on, you'll earn XP faster by focusing on exploration and looting rather than taking down ARC machines.
You still earn XP in places someone else has already searched, so playing in a squad feels much more rewarding than going solo!

Why focus on leveling up?
You get to learn new skills!
Plenty of skills are useful for both combat and looting, so leveling up quickly is important early on.

Skill Recommendations

You earn 1 skill point each time you level up.
The current level cap hasn't been officially announced, but there's an achievement for reaching level 75, so I'm guessing the cap is 75.

There's no skill reset feature yet, and you can only learn a limited number of skills, so choose carefully.

The skill tree has three main branches: Conditioning (offense), Mobility (stamina/speed), and Survival (looting).

Your choices will depend on your playstyle, but there are some skills worth picking up early.

• In-Round Crafting
  Lets you craft items even during combat.
  If you're out of bandages or shields, you can make them on the spot as long as you have the materials, making your runs much safer.

• Marathon Runner
  Reduces stamina consumption while moving.
  You'll be doing a lot of running, so this skill comes in handy.

• Youthful Lungs
  Increases your maximum stamina.
  It's useful for looting and escaping, and gives you more breathing room when you encounter a powerful ARC machine!

I prefer looting to fighting ARC machines and Raiders, so I'm mainly investing in Mobility and Survival skills! There's no single right answer, so choose the skills that suit your playstyle.

Item Farming Guide

Heading out with a loadout equipped with a 노획 마크 lets you bring back much more loot.
After a successful extraction, free up slots by putting items in your stash or selling anything you don't need.

You can set your own looting priorities,
but I recommend collecting quest items first, followed by crafting materials.

Hover over an item to see where it can be found. You can also check the icons on the map.
For example, if you're looking for Wires, explore spots with the Electrical or Technological tags.

Keep this up, and you can reach a cumulative loot value of 1,000,000 to complete the 'Long Haul' achievement.

Complete this mission during the PEAK event from November 3~14 to earn 10,000 won in NEXON Cash, so be sure to give it a try!

It was challenging at first, but once I got the hang of it, taking down ARC machines and looting solo became a lot of fun.

Even if you're new to extraction shooters, I think ARC Raiders is an enjoyable introduction to the genre. 🙌
