Arc Raiders thrusts players into a desolate world dominated by mechanical invaders called Arcs. Successful missions require gathering resources to upgrade gear and enhance loadouts for subsequent deployments. Multiple regions await exploration, each offering distinct rewards and challenges based on their environment.

This guide details progression paths to access every available combat zone within the game.

Combat Zone Overview

Six unique operational areas exist, each requiring specific milestones to unlock:

Stella Montis

Scheduled for release later this year, this enigmatic zone connects via underground tunnels from all regions. Initial recon suggests extensive security systems requiring coordinated disarming. Limited intel exists about environmental hazards or mechanical resistance levels.

The Blue Gate

Once a celestial transportation nexus, this mountainous labyrinth now contains high-tier rewards guarded by elite patrols. Hidden caches require locating access keys, making thorough exploration essential despite elevated combat risks.

Spaceport

Adjacent to earlier regions, this high-altitude facility contains concentrated loot stores in its upper levels. Expect overwhelming enemy presence demanding advanced combat strategies and upgraded weaponry.

Buried City

An expansive urban ruin offering moderate-risk reconnaissance opportunities. New players should build foundational skills here before tackling harder zones, as environmental navigation remains critical for resource extraction.

Practice Range

A controlled environment for honing combat techniques without Arc interference. Isolated mountain valleys allow safe experimentation with gadgets and weapons.

Dam Battlegrounds

The introductory zone features low-threat encounters ideal for mastering movement and extraction protocols. Moderate rewards help establish early-game progression before tackling advanced areas.
