The excitement surrounding the approaching action-extraction game, ARC Raiders, is escalating even further following the highly successful second technical test. Now, we’re treated to an abundance of sneak peeks into the gameplay.

Daily before its launch, our content partner Jinko has been sharing helpful tips for Arc Raiders. This material is high-quality and could potentially provide you with an early advantage.

Speculations have been floating around regarding the possible ARC Raider release dates, and since Summer Game Fest is almost here, it’s plausible that Embark might be ready to debut. TopMob’s own Alex Co hinted, “Given how advanced the alpha testing is, I wouldn’t be taken aback if we unexpectedly launch the game on the same day as its release date is disclosed.

Jinko, a member of Embark studio’s Content Creator Program, has been showcasing their ARC Raiders journey on Twitch and YouTube. They’ve also started sharing daily tips on Reddit as the game’s release approaches. Here are some highlights from Jinko’s Daily Tips:

In this version, I tried to maintain the original structure while using simpler language and a more conversational tone.

Stealth Mechanics

  • Flocks of birds will take off and make noise if you scare them.
  • Cameras beep if you are in their field of view.
  • Bumping into cars with red lights will trigger an alarm.

Health & Shields

  • Taking damage will result in losing shield points and health points simultaneously.
  • Even with a full shield, a single bullet can knock you down if your health is low.
  • Higher-level shields will mitigate more damage.

Inventory & Recipes

  • The inventory contains a map tab where you can follow tracked recipes and currently active quests.
  • The tracker shows how many items you have out of the total amount you need for recipes.
  • Tracked quests will show what step you are on and what steps remain.

Apart from Jinko, TopMob’s Jaime Tugayev is also contributing valuable insights about the novel dystopian game. In a TopMob preview for Arc Raiders, he referred to the upcoming extraction-shooter as “remarkably distinct.

From my personal playthrough of Tech Test 2, I wholeheartedly suggest it for those seeking a gaming experience that skillfully blends the intensity of a third-person shooter with the beauty of a masterpiece.

ARC Raiders revolves around the theme of foraging and enduring in a post-apocalyptic landscape, brimming with aggressive robot aliens and fellow Raiders who might lend a hand or pose a threat.

Tugayev stated that “The game doesn’t compel you to eliminate other raiders, but the city rewards solely those who deliver supplies. In my observations, it didn’t take much time before brutality prevailed.

In a recent post on Steam, ARC Raiders’ Executive Producer Aleksander Grøndal mentioned that Tech Test 2 was their most extensive test so far. The insights and comments given by the testers will significantly aid them in refining and enhancing the game.

Additionally, there are many ways we can further refine and harmonize the gameplay. As our development progresses, we’re excited to offer an enriched late-game experience, complete with advanced progression, numerous quests spanning fresh locales, a broader assortment of ARC machines and other world interactions, along with additional enhancements and exciting new elements.” (via Steam)

ARC Raiders, a promising extraction shooter, is set to launch on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. It has the potential to establish itself as the benchmark in its genre. Embark, a confirmed collaborator for Summer Game Fest 2025, will be hosting their event on June 6th, and fans are optimistic that an announcement could unexpectedly release the game earlier, or as some say, a “shadowdrop.
