Arc Raiders is the new third-person extraction shooter developed and published by Embark Studios that has taken the world by storm. More and more of my friends, streamers, and critics have had a lot of good things to say about the game, and it’s only been out for a couple of weeks now. A huge part of the game is obtaining loot to level up yourself and your weapons; however, there are endless types of loot you can carry, and players have felt overwhelmed by the amount of loot they can find in the game. Here’s a quick guide to help you sort and organize your loot from what to recycle and what to keep.
