The World of ARC Raiders
Explore the dangerous and beautiful surface environments
The world on the surface is vibrant, teeming with life and wonder. But while its splendor can be enchanting, it's lethal. So keep your guard up, even when you're enjoying the view.
Dam Battlegrounds
The Alcantara Power Plant, or "The Dam", once served as a crucial Raider stronghold during the First Wave. These toxic, waterlogged lands are now a lethal gauntlet of narrow walkways and submerged ARC units.

Stick to the elevated pipes to avoid 'Ticker' ambushes in the waist-high water. Extraction A is often safer than the main Dam bridge.

The Rust Belt

The Rust Belt is the collective name for the surface areas where Raiders operate. It encompasses various environments and terrains, each with unique challenges and resources.

Despite the name, the region features diverse ecosystems: arid deserts, waterlogged industrial zones, dense forests, and crumbling urban areas, all transformed by years of ARC occupation.

The surface is lethal, and Raiders can't stay too long. A round lasts up to 30 minutes, and as time progresses, extraction points start shutting down, making escape increasingly difficult.
