Skill Tree & Crafting Mastery

Technical database for Raider archetypes, advanced crafting recipes, and field mastery

Forge Your Path to Survival

In the harsh post-invasion world of ARC Raiders, your skills determine your survival. The Skill Tree system allows you to customize your Raider with abilities across three specialized paths:

  • Survival - Master defensive techniques and resource management to endure the harshest conditions

  • Mobility - Enhance movement capabilities to outmaneuver opponents and access difficult terrain

  • Conditioning - Improve physical attributes to carry more, fight longer, and withstand greater damage

Each skill you unlock provides tangible benefits in combat and exploration. Choose your specializations wisely - your survival depends on it. Learn more about Raiders and players who have mastered these skills.
