Extracting Some Details From Arc Raiders
A Lost Week Of Raiding Arcs
Arc Raiders has arrived, briefly died and then came back with some in-game gifts as an apology, and is now rather popular amongst the loot, craft and kill or cooperate crew. It’s of the extraction shooter genre, with a somewhat unique butt sliding component which lets you slide out of the danger you are currently facing into safety; or into a whole new pile of trouble. For now it seems you can also use it to travel quite quickly downhill, you don’t seem to run out of steam after a certain distance.
If you like the experience of a crafting-centric MMORPG where you never know if the next group of players you run into will be hostile, friendly or a bunch of liars trying to get your trust for long enough to murder you for your scraps you are probably already playing Arc Raiders. If you aren’t quite sure yet, Rock, Paper, SHOTGUN has a full review of the The Finals developers latest release.
These niggling issues, however, are all forgotten when a round starts – moment-to-moment, Arc Raiders is just that good. I'd happily play rounds without an objective, simply basking in the chaos and variety.
