How to Extract and End Round in Arc Raiders

Syed Hamza Bakht — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 21:14:32 +0000

The first time you load into a round of Arc Raiders, you might be confused since there’s no quick option to end the round with your hard-earned loot. Here’s all you need to know about extracting safely in Arc Raiders and how the elevators work.

How to End a Round in Arc Raiders

A round of ARC Raiders only ends once you either extract successfully, die in the process, or the timer runs out. If the timer runs out, you will instantly be killed and lose all of your loot and inventory items except whatever is in the safe pocket. For a successful extraction and round, you need to find an elevator and board it to escape underground before the round time limit ends. However, with multiple teams aiming to extract and dangerous ARC machines roaming the area, this can be harder than it sounds.

Screenshot by Prima Games

Tier	Weapons
S-Tier	Dexecutioner, Dice, Black Hole, Aura, Flame Walkers, Axe
A-Tier	Sniper Rifle, Shotgun, Bananarang, Revolver, Katana, Aegis, Lightning Staff
B-Tier	Bone, Fire Staff, Frost Walker, Blood Magic, Bow, Wireless Dagger, Mines
C-Tier	Tornado, Missiles, Poison Flask, Hero’s Sword
D-Tier	Space Noodle, Sword, Chunkers, Dragon’s Breath, Cursed Blade

S-Tier Weapons – Meta Bonkers

Weapon	Pros and Cons
Dexecutioner	+ Pierces enemies and executes below-threshold mobs regardless of HP scaling. + By late game, it becomes a nonstop purple laser, guaranteeing scaling. + Gives Joe’s Dagger an extra 1% chance to proc, making it WR run material.
Dice	+ RNG-based damage spikes and previously completely dominated WRs. + King of raw numbers and damage scaling as they can out-DPS every other weapon. – Better builds have emerged.
Black Hole	+ Provides unrivaled crowd control by locking mobs in place. + Increases overall AoE weapon damage and makes high kill-count runs possible. – Weak early game damage.
Aura	+ One of the smoothest early-game tools. + Farms passively, ensuring XP gain even while dodging. + Has unique utility where it stabilizes your FPS for WR runs with too many objects to render. – Loses punch later but is key to stabilizing early.
Flame Walkers	+ Fire trails scale endlessly with attack speed and projectiles. + Turns screens into burning zones that stack damage ticks. + Strong both casually and in WR setups.
Axe	+ Multi-hit swings abuse crits, executes, and on-hit effects. + Weak at base but monstrous in the late game with proper scaling.

A-Tier Weapons – Strong Choices

Weapon	Pros and Cons
Sniper Rifle	+ Piercing, high single-target DPS. + Best for bosses and breaking elite waves. – Feels slow/clunky for farming enemy waves.
Shotgun	+ Originally overlooked, but in reported WR runs, it clears screens with spread and projectile count. + Amazing early-game and scales into late with shrine buffs. + Can clear walls of enemies for large XP drops.
Bananarang	+ Projectile storm potential with lifesteal, it doubles as sustain. + Knockback gives safety during farming, and quantity turns it into a near-permanent wall of damage. – Bugs cause it to not scale like it should.
Revolver	+ Steady and consistent. Gains AoE with bounces and has crit synergy. + Solid for casual runs or if RNG doesn’t bless you with top-tier picks. – Damage lags behind S-tier weapons.
Katana	+ Scales hard with crit builds, especially on Bandit or Robinette. + Area scaling can cover entire screen, which puts it in S-tier with the right setup. – A bit weaker post-nerfs, but late-game crit chains can still shred ghost swarms.
Aegis	+ Shield-based defense that’s invaluable early and midgame. + Protects against chip hits and gives breathing room in Forest farming. + S-tier choice for characters like Megachad. – Falls off in T3 Desert.
Lightning Staff	+ Chain lightning keeps pressure on mobs across the map. + Lifesteal synergy and decent scaling make it a versatile, plug-and-play weapon. – Difficult to control precisely.

B-Tier Weapons – Niche Picks

Weapon	Pros and Cons
Bone	+ Bounce projectiles provide utility farming in tight spaces. – Can carry in Forest maps but scales worse compared to Revolver or Bananarang.
Fire Staff	+ Decent AoE but weaker than Flame Walkers. – Good filler option when your build needs area coverage but lacks top-tier options.
Frost Walkers	+ Slows enemies around you and is strong early. + Size upgrades synergize very well. + Good for casual runs where survival is priority. – Low damage – Weaker than Flame Walkers
Blood Magic	+ Sustains with lifesteal and DoT effects. + Has been seen in WR runs. – Strong in early survival runs but outclassed later when burst damage becomes critical. – Needs a lot of luck for the perfect setup
Bow	+ Robinette’s default weapon is decent early for piercing lines of mobs. – Falls behind unless supported with projectile or crit scaling. – Missing shots feels awful.
Wireless Dagger	+ Good for lifesteal and fun to use. + Decent filler choice for casual play. – Bit too slow and can’t compete with meta weapons.
Mines	+ Can setup aerial bombardment strategies with high mobility characters. + Size scaling makes them very strong. – Takes time and some luck to scale and set up properly.

C-Tier Weapons – Weak Weapons

Weapon	Pros and Cons
Tornado	+ Very strong knockback. – Very random procs and often misses. – Feels undertuned.
Missiles(S Rockets)	+ Fun to use – Too slow – Weaker than Bones and Bananas
Poison Flask	+ Decent in casual play against elites. – Better healing options exist. – Weak damage numbers.
Hero Sword	– Difficult to unlock – Low damage numbers. Overall mediocre.

D-tier Weapons – Avoid These Weapons

Weapon	Pros and Cons
Space Noodle	+ Meme weapon that feels cool. – Unreliable, random and not worth the investment.
Sword	+ Can potentially scale very well. – Knocks enemies away from its own range. – Takes too long to come online and be relevant.
Chunkers	– Every use case is outclassed by bananas. – Takes too long to do anything with them. – Feel bad to use.
Dragon’s Breath	– Low uptime. – Not affected by projectile bonus. – Weak damage.
Cursed Blade	+ Damage is decent under the right circumstances. – Requires you to be low HP. – Feels bad to use.
