ARC Raiders Wiki - FAQ
Does ARC Raiders have classes?
No — every Raider shares the same crafting and loadout system; there's no fixed class to choose.
How does customization work?
Appearance customization for your Raider and your companion Scrappy is unlocked via Projects, Events, Trials, the NPC Ermal, quests, and the in-game store.
What is The Queen?
One of the game's giant boss-tier ARC enemies, requiring multiple squads to defeat — target its leg joints and face to strip its armor.
Does ARC Raiders use AI-generated voices?
Partially, and this has been a real point of public debate. At launch, some in-match ping/location callouts used AI text-to-speech trained on voices licensed from real actors, alongside fully human-voiced characters and cutscenes. After player criticism, Embark Studios CEO Patrick Soderlund confirmed the studio re-recorded and replaced many of the AI-generated lines with human actors, while continuing to use AI as an internal production/prototyping tool rather than a full replacement for voice actors.
