Arc Raiders is a high-octane third-person extraction shooter set in a dense city that's teeming with life. While the game isn't going to demand an ultra high-end PC full of the best hardware, you might see your rig struggle in certain areas and during gunfights if your settings aren't properly dialed in.

You never want to lose all of your gear during a drop due to laggy gameplay or frame drops. To stop that from happening, we have a full list of the optimal PC graphics settings you should be using in Arc Raiders.

Best graphics settings for Arc Raiders on PC

There are a decent number of graphics settings to change in the main menu of Arc Raiders, not to mention all the other Arc Raiders tips we have to offer. From our testing, changing even the most basic graphics settings has a huge effect on the amount of frames per second you get, even with a high-end PC. That said, you'll certainly want to see where your FPS is at after changing your settings to see if you need to lower anything further.

Arc Raiders is a PvPvE third-person extraction shooter where you play the role of a scavenger in an apocalyptic future. In this game, you're tasked with collecting valuable resources and gear from dangerous locations, and you must safely extract from the map to keep all your loot. Arc Raiders puts you up against robotic and human threats, so extracting with your gear can be difficult, but Raider hatch keys can provide you with a safer route. Our guide explains how you can get Raider hatch keys in Arc Raiders and when to use them.

Each map in Arc Raiders features several extraction points, but every extraction comes with a bit of risk. You're often battling other players for a safe exit, and you're also fighting time, as extraction points will start closing as the match time dwindles down. This means there will be times you might want to consider using a Raider hatch key.

If you've decided to play Arc Raiders on PC, then you'll have access to a couple of menus in the settings that console players won't have. From the first time you launch the game, you can find and alter the keybinds and mouse settings menus, which, of course, both have a massive impact on your gameplay.

While you could leave the default options as they are and not customize any of the settings, that might put you at a disadvantage against other PC players with dialed-in settings. To ensure you're using the best keybinds and mouse settings in Arc Raiders, take a look at the guide below, which is just one of several Arc Raiders tips we recommend.

Best keybinds in Arc Raiders

Let's start with the keybinds, as this is one of the first menus you'll see after heading into the settings (it's labeled "Controls"). Unlike some other extraction games or multiplayer shooters, Arc Raiders keeps things fairly straightforward when it comes to your keybinds. There are only a few crucial keybinds that you'll want to change, but these can play a huge role in whether you live or die during a gunfight with an enemy.

Midnight, the next expansion of World of Warcraft, has been teased for months. On November 11, some WoW players will be able to dive into the Midnight beta test. Blizzard has now shared the first details about what to expect during the beta.

Invitations for the test will be extended to veteran players, members of the press, and other select individuals. Blizzard notes that, "invitations will go out regularly throughout the test." Fans who pre-purchased the Epic Edition may also get an invitation by email. Players can verify the legitimacy of their invites by logging in through their Battle.net accounts.

Phase 1 of the beta will include the opportunity to play through Midnight's first four zones, possibly as a Void Elf Demon Hunter, if you choose that option. Players who purchased the Epic Edition or preordered the game will get early access on December 2 to both the expansion and the long-awaited player housing. For anyone who wants to get ahead of that, there's an add-on that lets players see what achievements they need to get in order to earn interior decorations and furniture.

Helldivers 2 is in its self-care era. At least, that was the major takeaway from a frank Q&A with the game's director Mikael Eriksson, where he discusses, among other things, a new schedule for patches that the team hopes will lighten Helldivers 2's technical debt.

The critically acclaimed live-service shooter, which tasks players with grouping up and tackling hordes of alien foes in overwhelmingly hostile environments, has fallen on especially hard times lately. Frequent updates to the game since its launch in February of 2024--including fixes, balancing patches, and content drops--has caused Helldivers 2 to suffer from balance and performance issues and settle into an unsteady ebb and flow.

This instability has only hurt the game's diehard playerbase, who have spent months now fighting against crashes, increasingly untenable performance issues, growing file sizes (at least, on PC) and more wonkiness than is generally acceptable of Helldivers 2's sometimes slapstick action.

Arc Raiders can be played solo, but its unforgiving post-apocalyptic landscapes can be even more challenging when you're by yourself. Not only can the game's dangerous enemies put an end to you quickly, but groups of other raiders can be roaming the wasteland, ready to take you down and steal all of your loot. Having a good team can help ensure that you extract safely. But what if your friends don't play on the same hardware as you? Let's take a look at whether ARC Raiders offers cross-play and cross-progression.

Does Arc Raiders have cross-play?

If you're looking to play with friends on other platforms, you're in luck. Arc Raiders offers cross-play with every platform, allowing you to team up with your pals even when they're in a different ecosystem. To play together, simply add your friend's Embark ID in the Friends menu by selecting Add Friend. This ID will include four unique numbers at the end, so be sure to include those, too.

You can brave the conditions together using Arc Raiders cross-play.

Cross-play is enabled by default, meaning you won't need to turn on any additional settings when you're ready to team up. To disable crossplay, go to Settings > Gameplay > Cross-play and toggle it off. This will ensure you only play with players that are within your ecosystem. As such, you'll need to turn this back on again if you decide to play with friends on another platform.
