Winning fights without ego

After a win in ARC Raiders, loot fast and rotate. The next squad often arrives on the noise — leave before you become the next fight.

Assign simple roles in ARC Raiders: one player scouts, one holds angle, one watches flank. Clear roles stop three people from peeking the same corner.

Team play and match flow

Advanced ARC Raiders players plan two steps ahead: where they will move after a kill, where third parties arrive, and what to do if the zone or timer shifts.
