Recommended Expedition Loadouts

Below are meta loadout templates tailored to your team's likely combat environment, whether focused on ARC threats, enemy players, or a mix.

  1. Balanced PvE Expedition (ARC Focus)

Primary: Ferro

Secondary: Anvil

Support: Hullcracker

Rationale: Ferro excels at picking off armored ARC units at range, Anvil fills gaps with heavy damage at closer ranges, and Hullcracker breaks armor on groups or large ARC encounters. This combination gives sustained damage and versatility against threats encountered in ARC Raiders BluePrints most expeditions.

  1. PvP-Centric Expedition Loadout

Primary: Bettina

Secondary: Vulcano

Pistol/Sidearm: Anvil

Rationale: Bettina's balance of damage, range, and accuracy suits most player engagements. Vulcano delivers decisive close-quarters kills, and Anvil compensates with heavy pistol damage when gunfights tighten. This loadout emphasizes quick kills and adaptability against other raiders.

  1. Hybrid PvP + PvE Loadout

Primary: Tempest or Renegade

Secondary: Bobcat

Utility: Osprey

Rationale: Tempest/Renegade covers mid and long-range combat effectively. Bobcat provides a high fire rate for close-quarters resistance, while Osprey offers overwatch and backup sniping if teams split up or need suppression at range.

Loadout Tips, Attachment Priorities

  1. Extended magazines, Improve sustained fire, especially for SMGs and ARs.
  2. Vertical grips, Tame recoil on assault rifles.
  3. Scopes/Optics, Vital on long-range weapons like Ferro, Osprey, and Renegade.
  4. Suppressors, Useful on secondary weapons for stealth or ambush approaches.

Higher weapon levels and attachments make substantial performance differences; always upgrade and tailor mods to your expected engagement distances.

Closing Guidance

  Adapt to team role: Long-range specialists benefit from snipers, while aggressive frontliners prioritize high fire-rate weapons.

  Balance ammo types: Ensure you carry reserves for heavy, medium, and light ammo based on selected weapons.

  Experiment: Meta lists are guides; personal comfort and accuracy often outweigh raw tier placement.

By the way, if you need to gain a greater advantage, you'll need to prepare ample resources such as ARC Raiders Items and  ARC Raiders Coins to help you quickly establish an advantage during your expedition.
