I’ve been absolutely glued to ARC Raiders lately, easily clocking over 200 hours since early access dropped. Season 1 is mostly firing on all cylinders, but we really need a serious chat about the current loot situation. It’s got that classic Tarkov-style tension where you scout, scavenge, and skirmish, but right now, the glitches are hitting harder than a Hullcracker on a supply drop. The most frustrating thing has to be that nasty downed extraction bug. There is honestly nothing worse than surviving a chaotic firefight in Deadrock Depths, dodging ARC swarms, and then losing your entire inventory. It hurts when you lose valuable gear and your hard-earned
ARC Raiders Items just because you weren't crawling during the evac. It’s a total gut-punch that turns a thrill-ride into a rage-fest, and the community is rightfully loud about it on Discord.
The Panic for Cash
On top of the bugs, we’ve got the Expedition wipe looming on December 17, and the panic is real. Embark dropped this massive goal on us: a $5M stash value to unlock the maximum of five permanent skill points. It’s sparked a total frenzy. Players are hoarding loot like digital dragons, and the usual squad sharing has turned into "every raider for themselves" in some matches. It’s controversial, sure, especially since the reveal felt a bit rushed, but it also adds this crazy layer of tension. You aren't just raiding for fun anymore; you’re racing against the clock to stack your bank before the reset. It’s definitely pushing us to play differently, prioritizing high-value extracts over just surviving.
Where to Find the Goods
If you want to actually hit that stash target without losing your mind, you have to stop playing casually. The mid-raid scavenging can feel monotonous with the same old resource nodes, so you need to target the big ticket items. My advice? Hit the upper bunkers in Stella Montis. Even after the 1.5.0 patch, the Deadline events there are absolute goldmines for blueprints. Forget the small scrap; you need to be flipping Vulcano crafts and hunting for those rare Bobcat rifles in the Trials, which have seen a nice spawn rate boost. It’s all about efficiency right now. If you’re running solo, focus on non-consumables that you can trade in the hub for a markup. Don't waste backpack space on ammo you can buy cheaply later.
Adapting to the Grind
Despite the jank, you gotta give it to the devs—they are actually trying. They squashed the infinite wolfpack glitches and seem pretty active in the community threads. They know the loot tables need variety, like those weather-tied drops we’ve been asking for. But until those fixes fully land, we have to adapt. If the grind is burning you out or you’re terrified of missing that stash cap, you can always level the playing field. I’ve seen plenty of raiders head over to third-party sites to
buy BluePrint bundles and mod kits without the sweat. It’s a solid way to make sure you’re prepped for the next season without losing sleep over a glitched extraction. Let’s get those stashes full and see you in the wasteland.
