ARC Raiders Toolbox is a fan-maintained tactical database providing detailed intelligence on machines, loot drops, quest lines, and weapon configurations for the cooperative extraction shooter ARC Raiders from Embark Studios.
What is ARC Raiders Toolbox?
ARC Raiders Toolbox is a comprehensive web-based resource for residents of Speranza. It aggregates game data from official playtests and community reports into a searchable database covering items, quests, maps, traders, hideout upgrades, projects, skills, and events. The toolbox takes raw in-game observations as input and outputs structured references — item values, quest requirements, loot zone breakdowns, and machine behavior profiles — that players can use to plan raids and optimize their progression. It is maintained by the community and is not affiliated with Embark Studios.
Key Features
- Items database — Searchable catalog of 499 known items with rarity, category (e.g., Quick Use, Blueprint, Modification), and vendor value displayed in Credits. Each item page links directly from the featured loot grid.
- Quest tracker with tree view — Active quests listed with giver (e.g., Celeste, Tian Wen), description, and location requirements. The Quests Tracker section shows progression dependencies.
- Interactive maps — Six operational zones (Dam Battlegrounds, The Spaceport, Buried City, The Blue Gate, Stella Montis Upper/Lower) each marked with danger level and sector code. The Maps page provides full interactive overlays.
- Traders and reputation — Profiles for five active traders, listing their contract offers and reputation rewards needed to unlock gear.
- Hideout upgrade guides — Step-by-step breakdowns of workshop improvements and the materials (e.g., toolsets, electronics) required for each level.
- News and patch notes — Latest intel feeds include the January 2026 roadmap and patch 1.13.0 notes covering machine behavior changes and loot table adjustments.
- Community contribution — A Discord channel and wiki for submitting new field data, keeping the database current.
Who should use ARC Raiders Toolbox?
- New players — Look up item values and quest requirements before deploying to avoid wasting inventory space on low-value loot.
- Quest completists — Use the quest tracker to plan multi-objective runs across sectors like Buried City or The Spaceport.
- Hideout upgraders — Identify which industrial or residential zones yield the specific components (gears, batteries, antiseptics) needed for workshop upgrades.
- Squad leaders — Study machine weaknesses and loot tables on the Bots and Items pages to assign roles and gather intel before high-danger expeditions.
Use cases
- Prepare for a raid: Filter items by category (e.g., "Medical" or "Security") and cross-reference with active quests to know exactly which items to keep or extract.
- Map routing: Use the interactive map zone descriptions and sector codes to plot extraction paths and avoid high-traffic PvP areas.
- Crafting research: Access the Hideout and Projects pages to check required blueprints and materials before committing resources.
