Still struggling after hundreds of hours of gameplay? Don’t worry, IGGM is here to reveal some hidden advanced ARC Raiders tips.
Advanced Basic Controls
We need to start with the basic controls, the most fundamental and common-sense skills in the game, so don’t underestimate them.
First, climbing and jumping. When you have the urge to climb, press the button early, instead of waiting for what you think is the perfect moment. This effectively prevents unnecessary falls.
When you’re about to jump from a height onto a ladder, don’t forget about inertia. If the jump height is too high, you’re likely to suffer fall damage. So judge your jump height carefully to ensure your safety.
Besides refining your controls, you also need to be constantly wary of the threats posed by Jolt Mines and Blaze Grenade Traps.
When navigating Jolt Mines, even if you’re in a rush to find ARC Raiders blueprints, IGGM recommends using a slow, crouching approach to safely avoid them. For Blaze Grenade Trap, use a slide or jump to dodge. Different traps require different approaches.
Of course, during a chase or retreat, you can place mines while sliding without stopping. This method is ideal for dealing with low-flying ARC. Note that Jolt Mines have a relatively long activation delay, so their effectiveness against close-range pursuit is limited. Choose based on your situation.
Cover Utilization and Combat Techniques
Finding suitable cover is crucial for players in combat. But can you truly utilize the advantages cover provides?
Behind cover, ensure you expose only a minimal amount of your body, such as your toes or arms – the less, the better – to reduce the chance of being hit. Additionally, when firing, use your cover position to flexibly switch between left and right shoulder views to find better firing angles. However, some weapons may not perform well at the edge of cover. For example, Renegade might get stuck in a wall. Using Kettle might offer a better shooting experience.
When dealing with Rocketeer, IGGM believes the best weapon is Hornet Driver. Throwing it requires skill; time your throw perfectly, aiming between the two rotors in front of Rocketeer to cause it to crash instantly.
If you throw it from a high position, Rocketeer might crash but not explode. This forces you to follow up with a shot or engage in close-quarters combat.
Dealing with Comet is slightly easier. Simply use a Lure Grenade to make Comet self-destruct, easily taking it down. Even if you don’t have a Lure Grenade, don’t panic. Utilize nearby physical obstacles, such as walls or pillars, to block its rolling path and avoid direct contact.
Weapon and Equipment Usage Tips
Rattler is a rifle well-suited for close to medium-range combat. The problem is that after about 8 rounds of continuous fire, the bullet spread becomes significant. Therefore, IGGM recommends using short bursts to avoid continuous fire, thus effectively controlling accuracy.
Overall, Rattler is effective against both ARC and enemy players. If you have the Rattler, it’s worth using in matches.
Next, let’s talk about Pop Trigger and Spotter Relay, both of which have received some updates.
Pop Trigger is similar to Light Impact Grenade; it’s a mobile mine with significant damage. Spotter Relay is better suited for setting traps. Once placed, it automatically marks enemies and guides ARC attacks. This gives you more time to find ARC Raiders blueprints. However, it’s less effective in real-time combat.
Setting Optimizations
Here’s a very important, but often overlooked, auxiliary function setting—Blocked Line of Fire.
Enabling this feature causes the crosshair to move due to cover, interfering with your aiming judgment. Turning it off keeps the crosshair fixed, displaying only a small dot when the muzzle is actually blocked, helping you maintain aiming continuity. Therefore, IGGM strongly recommends disabling this feature.
Map and Environment Utilization
The map and environment are undoubtedly the most important aspects for ARC Raiders players to understand.
When in dark areas, such as extraction points or indoors, you can ping enemy raiders. This will highlight hidden enemies in red, effectively countering ambushes.
Additionally, Barricade Kit can be used efficiently. Placing Barricade Kit horizontally can completely block passageways, ladders, or Zipline.
Additionally, if you wish to effortlessly locate more high-value loot, making strategic use of the map environment is a very wise approach, particularly during Night Raids and Electromagnetic Storm events, when Blueprint drop rates are often doubled. However, this heightened loot yield comes at the cost of a significantly more dangerous combat environment.
Of course, if you would prefer not to increase the difficulty of your exploration, there is actually another method that allows you to acquire specific resources with greater ease: simply head to buy cheap ARC Raiders blueprints at IGGM.com. Whether you are seeking special Epic-tier Blueprints or rare Augments, we have exactly what you need!
Finally, IGGM would also like to share another useful detail: not only can cameras be disabled, but vehicles can too, and you should definitely know this.
In ARC Raiders, it’s not just about gun skill, but more about understanding mechanics and mastering details. IGGM sincerely hopes these tips can help you improve your ARC Raiders skills!
