SH*T RAIDERS
Topside's most trusted* source of ARC Raiders journalism.
*Trust measured in rubber ducks per raid.
Field Reports
Live from Speranza, where the elevator queue is longer than the server queue.
"Friendly! Friendly!"
Local raider shouts "friendly" in proximity chat, waves, emotes, then domes you the second you turn around to loot a toaster. Scientists say this is the fastest known betrayal in nature, beating out the previous record holder: also ARC Raiders.
Inventory Tetris Championship
You extracted with 4 water bottles, 12 fasteners, a duck, and zero of the quest items you went in for. Again. Your stash is 97% "might need this later." You will never need it later. You will also never sell it.
The Queen Would Like a Word
You heard one (1) faint mechanical screech, and your entire squad is now sprinting in four different directions, none of which is toward the extraction point. Textbook coordination.
Snitch Drone Did Its Job
You crouched behind a bush for 6 minutes to ambush one guy. A Snitch pinged you to the entire map. Three squads, a Bastion, and what witnesses describe as "every Hornet in the Rust Belt" attended your funeral.
Scrappy Remains Unbothered
The rooster has seen a thousand raiders leave and not come back. He does not grieve. He does not judge. He pecks. He is the only stable content in this game and we love him.
Loadout Insurance Math
Brought your best kit to "play it safe with the squad". Died to a Tick. A Tick. The little one. Your free loadout run afterwards? Three kills and a full bag. This is science and it cannot be explained.
