Fans want these five features in ARC Raiders

1) Discrete solo queue

One of the biggest gripes solo players have is the pressure of dealing with trios whenever they are playing solo. Even though the game tries to match solo players together, more often than not, duos and trios make their way into solo lobbies.

Fans are voicing their need for a discrete solo queue option. This would enable gamers who enjoy venturing topside maps alone to have a better time dealing with the PvPvE aspect of the game without getting ganked by three hostile raiders.

2) Penalty for killing downed players inside the lift

Numerous clips from X and Twitch have surfaced showing hostile Raiders killing downed players inside the lift. This move is absolutely hated by the community because neither the downed player takes his loot back to Speranza, nor can the attacker actually benefit from killing the harmless player.

This causes hard-earned loot to go to waste and leaves the downed Raiders with a bitter mood. This can easily be countered by disabling weapons, gadgets, and melee as soon as the lift door starts to close.

3) Carry downed players on your back

When a player loses all of their shield and health, they enter a downed-but-not-out (DBNO) state. This forces players into a crawling stance and drastically decreases movement speed. Due to this, teammates are unable to revive said ally, as positioning plays a massive role in survival.

The ARC Raiders community has thus proposed a feature that enables players to pick up teammates or random Raiders on their back and carry them either to a safe spot or extraction lifts. This would also help improve a niche scenario where random players who are willing to revive you lack a defibrillator.

4) Craft ammunition topside

The ability to craft during a match can be a lifesaver in certain scenarios. Unlocked by the In-round Crafting and Travelling Tinkerer skills, this feature opens up new possibilities for players who are running low on quick-use items. The biggest downside to this ability is the lack of ammunition crafting.

Players have voiced their concerns regarding the skill requirement to unlock this ability and the lack of such a basic feature. Not only does ammo crafting help in PvP scenarios, but it would allows you to organise your backpack by freeing resource slots and restocking your magazine stacks.

5) Player bounties

Player bounties are a much-requested addition that fans have been wanting in ARC Raiders. This feature targets Raiders who engage in PvP combat and puts a bounty on their head. Opponents who take down the bounty target would receive additional XP and could potentially become the next bounty target.

If you extract while having the bounty still on your head, that could award bonus XP, and in turn make it worthwhile to go after rats in ARC Raiders or those who are actively embracing the PvP fights during a match.

This concludes our list of five features that players want added to the game. Although there are many such features being proposed and discussed on social platforms, these five are the most logical additions that could improve the quality of life during game sessions.
