I went into Arc Raiders with zero hype.
I’m not big on extraction shooters, I don’t love open-world PvP, and I was fully prepared to bounce off this.
But… a ton of players said the community was chill, not sweaty, and honestly? They were right. So I gave it a real shot — and now I’ve played enough to help you figure out whether this game is worth your time.
In this video, we’ll break down the game loop, currencies, crafting, loadouts, raider perks, and I’ll show you multiple extractions, both successful and… less successful. 😅
If you're extraction-curious but hate toxic PvP environments, this might actually be your game.
