Games like ARC Raiders for loot-and-extract fans
Escape from Tarkov is the hardcore version of ARC Raiders, and Marathon is the sci-fi one from Bungie. For less pressure, Escape from Duckov lets you raid alone against AI, and Arena Breakout brings extraction to phones.
What ARC Raiders is
ARC Raiders is a PvPvE extraction shooter from the studio behind The Finals, released on October 30, 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. Raiders go up to the surface to loot while hostile ARC machines and other players try to stop them. Reach an exit and you keep the loot. Die and you lose it.
What sets it apart is how often players talk instead of shoot. A wave or a voice line can turn a fight into a truce.
