In ARC Raiders, you get to explore a vast, lethal world where people have fled to an underground colony of Speranza, where they are looking for supplies and shelter from the deadly ARC machines on the surface. The need for resources is at an all-time high in the colony, and it's your job to help. You enlist as a Raider, fighting for your survival and trying to defend the colony.
As a Raider, you must scavenge and hunt for resources and carefully extract them from the surface while trying to survive the dangerous world above it. In your way are the ARC machines, a lethal foe that not many know about. You also have to compete against other Raiders who are equally trying to get the same loot that you are.
