### About ARC Raiders
"ARC Raiders" is an extraction adventure where players forge their own narrative within a massive PvPvE sandbox. Players become "Raiders" traversing a collapsed world, confronting vicious mechanical lifeforms called "ARC," other Raiders, and various ever-present threats. Amidst tense battles and a world full of mysteries and opportunities, players collect supplies on the perilous surface and establish their bases in the underground residential areas called "Speranza." Both long-time fans of high-risk extraction and survival games, and those new to the genre, can carve out their own paths, stories, and destinies as solo or team Raiders in "ARC Raiders."
