Embark Studios recently took to the social scene to reveal a slew of stats from ARC Raiders’ first year online. The headline was arguably the number of raids played in the 365 days that ARC Raiders has been around, which sat at a bold six billion matches. That equates to roughly 16 million raids a day since ARC Raiders hit the market.
In that time, players have shattered 14.8 billion ARC enemies, including almost four million ARC Queen constructs. Bizarrely, the numbers that Embark Studios revealed contained only PvE stats and didn’t mention anything to do with the game’s PvP mechanics.
ARC Raiders Players Sink Mad Time Into The Game
If you were to host those six billion ARC Raiders runs end-to-end, players would have spent 180 billion minutes exploring the game. That’s 125 million days, or around 342,000 years of gameplay.
Last month, Embark Studios rolled out a fresh test on the ARC Raiders platform, checking out how a PvE toggle would work when implemented on the platform. It proved to be a success, with 30 million PvE-focused raids being initiated by curious players. The feedback was positive, and now we’re waiting to hear if it’ll be a permanent fixture in the game.
In the graphic revealed by Embark Studios at the tail end of October, some PvE stats were revealed:
- 14.8 billion ARC enemies destroyed
- 2,919,521 Matriarchs destroyed
- 18 Raiders healed by strangers in a single raid
- 5,643 Raiders healed by one player
Nobody really noticed, but Embark Studios neglected to provide any information on the more aggressive side of ARC Raiders. There were no stats about knockouts, damage dealt between players, how many Raiders had been looted by other users, or anything to that effect.
I wonder why that is?
