ARC Raiders Weapons Guide

ARC Raiders features a diverse arsenal of 23 weapons spread across 9 weapon classes. From the precision of bolt-action snipers to the raw stopping power of rocket launchers, choosing the right weapon for each engagement is critical to surviving every raid. See our weapon tier list for the latest meta rankings.

Each weapon in this guide includes full stat breakdowns covering damage, DPS, fire rate, magazine size, reload time, range, accuracy, and recoil. Our meta tier ratings (S through D) reflect current community consensus on weapon viability for both PvP and PvE encounters. Use the best-for tags to quickly identify which weapons excel in specific scenarios like boss fights, long-range duels, or close-quarters combat.

Weapon rarity in ARC Raiders affects both availability and base power level. Common weapons are easy to find but lack stopping power, while Legendary weapons are extremely rare drops that can turn the tide of any fight. Check each weapon page for specific loot locations and combat tips from experienced raiders.

Most weapons in ARC Raiders can also be crafted at the Gunsmith workbench using materials gathered during raids. Crafting weapons is often more reliable than relying on random loot drops, especially for higher-rarity firearms. Blueprint weapons require finding the blueprint first, which adds another layer of progression to the crafting system.
