Mobility Finisher: Slip and Slide + Effortless Roll

Next, spend four points in Slip and Slide so you can travel further and faster, great for repositioning or escaping danger. Follow that with Carry the Momentum (sprint → dodge roll combo) and Effortless Roll (reduced dodge cost).

These stack together insanely well, letting you move across the map like a parkour pro. Top it off by maxing Heroic Leap, the extra distance on ARC Raiders BluePrints dodge rolls is invaluable in both PvP and boss fights. Once you've done this, you can safely ignore the rest of the Mobility tree. This setup alone gives you elite-tier movement.

Survival & Utility Perks

Put one point into Silent Scavenger to unlock Suffer in Silence (basically Iron Will from Dead by Daylight). It's great for staying stealthy in PvP.

Max out Broad Shoulders for more carrying capacity, always worth it.

At this point, you've likely spent around 67 skill points, leaving about 8 points to spare.

If you're after more utility, pick up:

  Stubborn Mule (stamina regen while encumbered)

  Traveling Tinkerer

  Three Deep Breaths (faster stamina recovery after using abilities)

You can pull a few points from Slip and Slide or Effortless Roll to fit these in if needed. Personally, I skip Security Lockers since I prefer a PvP and PvE hybrid build focused on survivability and combat advantage rather than looting bonuses.

Best Weapons in Arc Raiders (Early, Mid, and Late Game)

Let's break down the top weapons for every stage of progression, plus the best combos and attachments.

Early Game Weapons

  Kettle: Best starter gun, period. Semi-automatic, reliable, and can kill up to three enemies in a single clip. A compensator makes it even better.

  Stitcher + Pharaoh Combo: The Pharaoh is the meta weapon, incredible scaling, fast reloads, and unmatched consistency. The Stitcher out-DPSes early shotguns like the Toro if you land headshots. Expect a nerf eventually, but for now, it's S-tier.

Mid Game Loadouts

  Rattler: Amazing medium-range weapon with high versatility. Fully upgraded, it competes with the Renegade and doubles as a mini-SMG.

  Anvil: Once upgraded, the Anvil becomes monstrous. Combine it with a Stitcher for an all-around PvP/PvE loadout.

  Toro + Pharaoh: Great high-skill combo, poke with the Pharaoh, finish with the Toro.

  Osprey + Stitcher: Fantastic combo for ranged poke and aggressive pushes.

  Renegade: Semi-auto beast, ideal for ARC Raiders buy Loot precision shooters.

  Avoid the Venonator: Easily the weakest weapon right now. Terrible beyond close range.
