Arc Raiders Workshop Upgrade Guide: Every Material You Need
A complete reference guide listing every material needed to upgrade all six workshop benches in Arc Raiders from Level 1 through Level 3. Includes priority order and farming tips.
I found Arc Raiders after watching Burnt Peanut play it — I was deep into Cyberpunk 2077 at the time and had stepped away from gaming to focus on development work. But something about this game pulled me in, and once I started I couldn't put it down. I'm a pure PvE player — no PvP, solos only. I help where I can, and I like to call myself the Ghost Combat Medic. Zero knocks, zero kills, and proud of it. The game keeps getting better, but you won't catch me on the PvP side.

I have 130+ hours in Arc Raiders, I'm level 75, I have 37 Raider revivals, and I have zero knocks and zero kills. Here is how and why I play Arc Raiders as a pacifist solo PvE player.

A solo PvE player's honest take on the Shrouded Sky update — hurricanes, new enemies, loadout advice, and how to stay alive when you have zero knocks and zero kills.

The Shrouded Sky patch shook up the weapon meta. Here are the best loadouts to run after the Stitcher and Kettle nerfs.

Hurricanes, two new ARC enemies, the Surgeon Raider Deck, and a secret co-op puzzle room — here's everything in the Shrouded Sky update.

Arc Raiders nails cooperative gameplay with its salvage-based progression and stunning post-apocalyptic world.

The Escalation roadmap covers January through April 2026 with four major updates. Here's what's confirmed and what we know so far.

The first major 2026 update adds solo matchmaking against squads, a new map condition on Buried City, and a long-term trophy display project.
