One ARC Raiders Group is Completely Dedicated to Saving Downed Players

by

Players of the game ARC Raiders are forming a community focused on helping each other, rescuing downed teammates from both the AI enemies and other players. Since its release in October, ARC Raiders has been widely praised for its fun and engaging gameplay. Fans especially appreciate the diverse weapons and the detailed environments where they can find resources and fight enemies. But ARC Raiders isn’t just about fighting AI; many players also enjoy the competitive player-versus-player aspect of the game.

In ARC Raiders, you’ll face threats from both AI enemies and other players. The game blends cooperative and competitive elements, letting you team up to fight and gather items, but also encouraging more aggressive, player-versus-player combat. Like other games of this type, you’ll drop your collected items when defeated, which means other players can steal your resources. Now, some players are offering to help those who prefer to focus on the cooperative side of the game.

New Group “Rescue Raiders” is Focused on Helping Players

A popular player group in ARC Raiders is dedicated to helping those who don’t enjoy player-versus-player (PvP) combat. Calling themselves the “Rescue Raiders,” they’ve become a significant presence in the ARC Raiders community, attracting over 95,000 visitors to their subreddit each week. The group describes its mission as “keeping the peace” and focuses on assisting other players. New members are encouraged to avoid PvP unless attacked, and they’re asked not to manipulate lobby matchmaking to gain an unfair advantage.

Rescue Raiders is becoming increasingly popular thanks to their dedication to helping fellow players in ARC Raiders. Videos shared online show them assisting others with successful extractions and intervening to stop hostile groups. Player-versus-player combat, or PvP, has been a contentious issue in ARC Raiders since its release, with many suggesting that Embark Studios create separate game modes for PvP and player-versus-environment (PvE) play. Originally, ARC Raiders was planned as a purely PvE game, and PvP elements were added later during development.

ARC Raiders Has Been a Breakout Hit for Embark Studios

ARC Raiders has quickly become a hit, blending player-versus-player and player-versus-environment gameplay. In its first two months, the game attracted a large audience, with over 700,000 players online at its peak on launch day. It’s already received recognition for its success, winning “Best Multiplayer Game” at the 2025 Game Awards. Some popular figures in the gaming community, like streamer Shroud, believe ARC Raiders deserved even higher honors, suggesting it should have been named Game of the Year.

The popular game ARC Raiders has gotten off to a great start, and the developers at Embark Studios are planning even more content for fans. They’ve consistently updated the game almost every week, recently adding winter weather to several maps with the ‘Cold Snap’ update. While details are scarce about 2026 plans, players can expect new maps to be a major focus, with weekly updates likely resuming after the new year. ARC Raiders seems well-positioned to maintain its success and offer plenty of fresh experiences for players.
