ARC Raiders is an online multiplayer extraction shooter with PvPvE elements. Players operate as Raiders on a future Earth, exploring the surface to loot gear and resources, while facing hostile machines and other players. After collecting loot, they must extract back to base, all while managing risk from both AI enemies and rival Raiders. Key points to know:

• Genre: PvPvE extraction shooter (third-person perspective). This blends cooperative/competitive play with environmental threats, and emphasizes looting, risk/reward, and extraction mechanics.
• Core loop: Enter Topside, scavenge valuable loot, survive encounters with both NPC enemies and other players, then extract via evacuation points or raider-specific hatches to secure loot back at base.
• Play modes: Designed for team play (typically three-player squads) but also playable solo or in smaller teams, with matchmaking adapting to solo play in some situations.
• Setting and tone: A future/post-apocalyptic world where AI/mechanical threats dominate the surface, and underground bases serve as the hub for crafting, upgrading, and preparing for the next raid.
• Platform and availability: Released for major modern platforms with cross-play support, and marketed as a live-service title with ongoing updates and progression systems.
