Arc Raiders’ Launch Day Meta is Already Clear

Lots of similar, low-quality “extraction shooter” games have appeared recently, but ARC Raiders looks like it could be different. Embark Studio seems to really understand what makes this genre work, and they’re building on those core ideas. ARC Raiders will have a loot system that changes with each playthrough, and you’ll be able to improve your character and weapons between runs. This should lead to evolving strategies and favorite weapons as the game is updated and played over time, and some weapons will likely become popular quickly.
