A good loadout can make the difference between victory and defeat Topside.
Your loadout includes Weapons, Armor, Weapon Mods, Ammunition, Gadgets, and Utilities. You can also bring along crafting materials.
Weapons cover both your guns and your Raider Tool, a melee weapon. Use them to tear through ARC or defend yourself against hostile Raiders.
Ammunition is scarce in the world of ARC Raiders. While you can scavenge more Topside, it’s wise to bring along extra rounds for the weapons you plan to carry.
Weapon Mods let you customize how your weapons perform. Attachments like recoil stabilizers or extended magazines help you tailor your loadout for different encounters.
Gadgets like grenades, the snap hook, or ziplines give you tactical options and creative ways to approach combat.
Weapons are your lifeline topside, and keeping them in good condition is key to survival. Over time, weapons will degrade with use. If you don’t repair them, they can eventually break. Leaving you vulnerable.
To repair a weapon:
Open your Inventory
Select the weapon you want to repair
Choose More Actions
Select Repair
Repairing costs resources, and the type of resource required will vary depending on the weapon. Make sure to keep them in good shape. Nothing’s worse than your favorite weapon breaking at the wrong time.
Augments are special items that change your backpack layout and open up new tactical possibilities. Equipping different augments allows you to expand your capacity, improve survivability, or add utility to your loadout.
Choose your augments carefully depending on your priorities. Whether you want more freedom of movement, advantages in combat, or extra space for looting, the right augment can give you a serious edge Topside.
