Best ARC Raiders PvP build in Season 2

The beauty around ARC Raiders is all about the different builds you can try, but it’s best to go with the meta if you actively engage in PvP.

The meta around PvP has slightly changed from what it used to be. First, some of the skills have changed from how they used to work. Secondly, it’s possible to apply 80 skill points if you maxed out your stash value to five million before the Expedition project began.

Let’s look at an extremely strong build that you can potentially use to dominate the PvP scene.

Best PvP build in ARC Raiders

Before deep diving into the build, let’s look at how the points are distributed across the three branches.

Mobility	Survival	Conditioning
Nimble Climber 5/5	Looter’s Instincts 5/5	Used to the Weight 5/5
Youthful Lungs 5/5	Agile Croucher 5/5	Blast-Born 1/5
Marathon Runner 5/5	Silent Scavenger 5/5	Gentle Pressure 1/5
Slip and Slide 1/5	Suffer in Silence 1/1	Fight or Flight 5/5
Sturdy Ankles 2/5	Broad Shoulders 5/5	Proficient Pryer 5/5
Calming Stroll 1/1	Looter’s Luck 2/5	Unburdened Roll 1/1
Carry the Momentum 1/1		A Little Extra 1/1
Crawl Before You Walk 5/5		Effortless Swing 1/5
Vigorous Vaulter 1/1
Effortless Roll 5/5
Heroic Leap 5/5
Vault Spring 1/1
Vaults on Vaults on Vaults 1/1

The build is heavily biased towards Mobility since this is primarily to be used for PvP. You’ll want quickness in your movement, and also be able to use the environment to your advantage. Thanks to Vault Spring and Vaults on Vaults on Vaults, you can do that.

Both Survival and Conditioning have an even investment of points just to aid your ability to stay alive while getting decent loot in the process. I went for Effortless Swing since there could be some situations when you might require melee. This build is heavily influenced by TaxiDLegend, who also shared the efficient routes when you’re levelling up. I have made slight changes to the already-great build based on how I play.

ARC Performance Steel is one of the hardest items to find in ARC Raiders, as you’ll have to take down specific enemies.

Unlike most items in ARC Raiders, ARC Performance Steel can’t be obtained from looting containers or other areas. Instead, you can only obtain the item after taking down certain ARC enemies that you can come across on any map.

This guide will help you pinpoint which ARCs you should take down to gain ARC Performance Steel.

Best way to get ARC Performance Steel in ARC Raiders

To find ARC Performance Steel, you’ll need to take down any of the following ARCs.

Leaper
Bastion
Bombardier
The Queen
Matriarch
ARC Probes

Barring the last one, all five ARCs mentioned on the list are dangerous enemies that you should be extremely careful about. Here’s where you can find these heavy ARCs.

Leaper

Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment, Red Lakes Balcony, Red Lakes
Buried City: Buried Properties, Plaza Rosa
Spaceport: Launch Towers, Arrival and Departure Buildings
Blue Gate: Warehouse Complex, Ruined Homestead, Trapper’s Glade

Bastion

Dam Battlegrounds: Hydrophonic Complex
Buried City: Market Ruins, Library, Piazza Arbusto
Spaceport: Arrival and Departure Buildings, Container Storage, Fuel Lines
Blue Gate: Checkpoint, Outer Gates

Bombardier

Dam Battlegrounds: Water Treatment, Primary Facility
Buried City: Marano Park, Main Street
Spaceport: Vehicle Maintenance, Arrival Building, South Trench Tower, Container Storage
Blue Gate: Ruined Homestead, Trapper’s Glade, Raider’s Refuge

The Queen

Dam Battlegrounds: Red Lakes
Spaceport: Staff Parking
Blue Gate: Middle of Checkpoint and Trapper’s Glade

Matriarch

Dam Battlegrounds: The Breach
Spaceport: Launch Towers
Blue Gate: Headhouse

The Queen and Matriarch will only spawn under specific map conditions. While the Matriarch has its own special map condition, The Queen only spawns during a Harvester map condition.

The rest of the ARCs can spawn in areas that aren’t mentioned here. However, I have listed the spots where I have almost always encountered them on raids. Taking them down will almost guarantee an ARC Performance Steel.

If you don’t want to take the risks, you can always try your luck with ARC Probes. You’ll occasionally come across them during raids. However, opening an ARC Probe doesn’t guarantee you a Performance Steel, so you might need to find several of them.
