Raiders venture from the underground city-shelter of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/arcraiders.wiki\/wiki\/Speranza\">Speranza <\/a>to the dangerous surface to complete quests and secure valuable loot. The surface is a hostile environment, populated by deadly autonomous ARC machines and other player-controlled Raiders competing for the same resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Combat is third-person, with pronounced recoil, projectile ballistics, and destructible cover. Raiders use climbing, sliding, and grappling for vertical mobility, while environmental hazards encourage adaptive positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each expedition is a calculated risk: a choice between a quick, safe extraction with modest gains or lingering for higher-tier loot at the risk of losing everything. The game can be played solo or in squads of up to three. The matchmaking system is designed to create balanced encounters by pitting squads against squads and solo players against other solos, though crossovers can occur. To maintain a constant level of threat, new players can be added to a server until approximately 18 minutes remain in the raid, preventing the map from becoming a safe empty space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speranza Hub &amp; Traders (Quests, Feats, Raider Deck, Currencies)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/arc-raiders-17.webp\" alt=\"Arc Raiders Open Beta Guide \u2013 Server Slam Schedule, Platforms, Rewards &amp; Progression Tips\" class=\"wp-image-34053\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/arc-raiders-17.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/arc-raiders-17-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/arc-raiders-17-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speranza is the central hub where Raiders prepare for missions, manage their gear, and progress their characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Forming a Squad:<\/strong> A three-person squad can be formed by inviting friends.
