An early quest in Arc Raiders tasks you with finding Antiseptics, Syringes, Durable Cloths, and Great Mullein for Lance. While this may sound overwhelming at first, it's actually a pretty easy quest to complete once you realize all of the items are likely to be found in the same handful of areas. Below, we'll fill you in on where to find all of the items for the first quest from Lance, as well as how you can simply craft a few of them if necessary.

Your gear determines much of your success while playing a game of Arc Raiders, but so do your skills. The game chops up 45 different skills across three trees, with most skills improving your general mobility and speed, as well as your ability to loot.

Last week, developer Embark Studios published their 2025 roadmap detailing what's coming to the PvPvE extraction shooter in the rest of November and some of what we can expect in December. This includes a newly revealed 1.1.0 update that went live today, with some features arriving this weekend. But while fans are chiming in with requests for new features, some also want Arc Raiders to keep some surprises up its sleeves. Here's where things stand in the massive hit multiplayer shooter a week since launch. Also, I have an epic video of someone taking down a Bastion with a pickaxe at the end. But first the game's latest set of patch notes:

Your first objective for Echoes of Victory Ridge will be to actually find Victory Ridge, which is located in the northern portion of the Dam Battlegrounds map. Zoom in and seek the West Broken Bridge POI--that's where you're headed. Note that this is a mostly safe area in the majority of matches, but you never know if you might run into other questers, so keep an eye out and try to be friendly. Or shoot them on site--it's your call.

To find the helmet, you'll need to head to the Wreckage on the southern portion of the Dam Battlegrounds map. This can sometimes be a fairly high-traffic area since it's also a good spot to farm mushrooms, so be on the lookout for other raiders while questing here. Wreckage POI When you arrive at the Wreckage, head to the bottom of the POI and look for a large, destroyed Baron machine collapsed in this area. There's a small plant just outside of this dilapidated machine that is hiding the helmet.

Something is gross about the water around here, and it's time to fix it. One of the quests you'll receive in Arc Raiders asks you to head into the Spaceport tunnels and turn a valve to switch up the water supply. Switching the Supply is a relatively straightforward quest, but the valve you need to interact with can be surprisingly challenging to spot if you're not quite sure where to look.

Arc Raiders sends you on plenty of item retrieval or combat missions, but one quest you'll encounter simply asks you to raise a flag for the sake of unity. If you've obtained the A Symbol of Unification quest, you'll be ready to get out there and start bringing folks together. Luckily, we're here to help you do so with an explanation of where to find the flag and how to raise it. Let's dive in.

Most quests in Arc Raiders send you to complete a couple of tasks on any given map, but a few quests require you to traverse long distances to clear multiple requirements. Perhaps the most substantial of these is A First Foothold, which asks you to visit four locations across Blue Gate. Each of these is on a completely different side of the map (north, east, south, west). It's a lengthy quest that may prove dangerous, but we're here to help you figure it out.

The official Arc Raiders account on X announced the in-game compensation for players. The post acknowledges "that our servers had a wobble on Sunday," with SteamDB noting the game hit a new peak concurrent-players count of 354,836 people on Steam that day. This comes after Arc Raiders already broke a Steam record for extraction shooters with PvP. Keep in mind that the game is also available on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (as well as Epic Games Store),

Levels come pretty slowly in Arc Raiders, and you receive only one skill point per level up. With this in mind, you'll want to make the absolute most out of your limited skill points to ensure that you're ready to take on all of the ARC and potential raiders you'll encounter topside.

Let's start with the keybinds, as this is one of the first menus you'll see after heading into the settings (it's labeled "Controls"). Unlike some other extraction games or multiplayer shooters, Arc Raiders keeps things fairly straightforward when it comes to your keybinds. There are only a few crucial keybinds that you'll want to change, but these can play a huge role in whether you live or die during a gunfight with an enemy.

Let's jump straight into the most consequential change Embark is looking to make for launch: The flying Arc drones are too damn perceptive. While many people, including myself, felt that dealing with our robot overlords above Speranza was appropriately challenging, those damn drones were quick to find and harass enemy players. Embark is changing that. In the post the studio said:

"It was very coincidental that they had their test around the time we did. To my knowledge, I don't think any of us knew that was going to happen," he said. "It was a very great A/B test for us, because obviously they made decisions that we didn't, and vice versa. So we could kind of compare and contrast how some of those things shook out."

In particular, the developers are trying to solve one of the biggest problems with mandatory wipes: It's really unfair to those who only have limited windows of opportunity to play the game. It sucks when you log a few hours in one week, get tied up with life stuff for the remainder of a month, then come back to find out even the meager earnings you scored during that first week are now gone due to the wipe.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is holding an online beta test until October 8, so fans can play the online modes before the full game launches on November 14. Some players are having matchmaking issues, but I suppose identifying such issues is the whole point of betas, so that's not too surprising. What is surprising, however, is that players were reporting earlier that 's in-game text chat was censoring the name of another shooter launching soon. No, it's not direct competitor Battlefield 6 . It's Arc Raiders , the upcoming extraction shooter from Embark Studios.

Scrappy, the pet rooster, has captivated players in Arc Raiders Tech Test 2 with its item-gathering abilities, enhancing engagement and player investment.
