The undisputed king of close-quarters PvP. The Stitcher fires light ammo at a blistering rate, melting targets at point-blank range faster than almost anything in the game. Common rarity and light ammo availability make it the most reliable CQB weapon every single raid. Nerfed in the Shrouded Sky update (damage 8 → 6.5, headshot multiplier 2.5 → 1.75, increased dispersion).
The Stitcher is a common smg in ARC Raiders, currently rated S-Tier tier in the Flashpoint patch 1.22.0 weapon meta. With 6.5 damage per shot and a fire rate of 45.3 RPM, it puts out 295 DPS — placing it in the upper-mid range for sustained damage output. The 20-round magazine and 1.6s reload window mean you should be conscious of mag dumps but can usually finish a 1v1 before reloading.
Recoil sits at 48/100, which makes the Stitcher demanding — full-auto only at close range; tap-fire at distance to stay accurate. Effective range tops out around 28/100, so the Stitcher excels in close-quarters brawls inside buildings, tunnels, and around extraction points. It feeds on light ammo (40% armor penetration), so it punches through Heavy shields and lets you contest armored Raiders directly.
For ARC Raiders players asking where to find the Stitcher, the most reliable spawns are at Common spawns across all zones, Blue Gate indoor areas, Buried City underground tunnels. If RNG isn't on your side, you can also craft the Stitcher at the Default Workbench (Level 1) using 8× Metal Parts, 4× Rubber Parts. No blueprint required, so you can craft it as soon as you unlock the workbench level.Best paired with shields and augments that complement its aggressive close-range pressure.
