ARC Raiders is a pretty challenging game when it comes to finding quest items and locations. It doesn’t entirely hold your hand and requires you to explore a little to get to the objectives you need to resolve the game’s many tasks. With that being said, there are a few ARC Raiders maps and resources you can rely on to get the fastest route possible to what you need.
In this guide, I’ll help you figure out what the best sites are for ARC Raiders maps.
Find Quest Objectives in ARC Raiders with Ease
When it comes to playing extraction shooters, you’ll often need to rely on maps and wiki pages to track down what you need. It’s an inherently tricky genre that wants players to go the extra mile, rather than relying on map markers and guide lines to find where they need to go.
ARC Raiders might be more accessible and have maps and a more detailed UI, but the quest objectives are sometimes tough to find, as all Embark Studios has offered is a clue or two.
That in mind, here are two of the best resources for ARC Raiders maps:
These maps are brilliant, as they’re adjustable and modular, meaning you can apply filters to select exactly what you’re looking for in ARC Raiders, including:
- ARC locations
- Containers
- Nature resources
- Events
- Biomes
- Supply Stations
- Field Debots
What’s The Easiest Map in ARC Raiders?
By definition and rating, the easiest map to learn in ARC Raiders is Dam Battlegrounds. It’s a relatively open map with a lower difficulty ranking, except for when night falls and it becomes much more treacherous. It’s also the first map that players can explore after completing the opening sequence of ARC Raiders.
Buried City is the next easiest map to learn, but the tight-knit streets and densely-packed buildings make PvP a challenge, as you never know where enemies might be lurking. There are a few observation points higher up that players can use to scan the map with a powerful rifle, so you’ll need to keep your eyes open when on this map.
The Blue Gate is the hardest map by the game’s rating, but it’s not that bad. It’s so open that your chances of running into other players are slimmer, and it has plenty of verticality, meaning you can jump deep into tunnels to escape pursuing ARC enemies.
I think Spaceport is the toughest map, mainly because of the way it’s built. It’s a sprawling thing that’s heavily occupied by ARC forces, and the central Launch Tower area serves as a hub that players rush to at the start of the match, but to get to it, you need to cross an immense amount of open ground without cover.
Any budding snipers can pick off their kills with ease.
