Sacred Symbols+, Episode 487 | ARC Raiders Review Discussion
🕑 Added 2025-11-22 17:00:15 +0000 UTCARC Raiders has blown up since launch, continually breaking its peak player count on Steam. While it's not the first extraction shooter by a long shot, it's clearly the first one to truly break into the mainstream. So, is it any good? Join me (Dustin), Brad, Ben, and Lockmort to discuss!

Shout out to Vigor, a little rough around the edges but gets no love as a console friendly extraction shooter

The most important objective of the game for me has been that it’s fun. Looks good, feels good and has awesome encounters that can only happen in a PvPvE game. But the main “objective” would actually be leveling up your work benches/traders with resources. Like most video games it’s about number goes up.

Rick & Lockmorty, because Lockmort is totally a big fan you can hear it in all his humour. He’d scream in a Big Suzie’s.

I posted this on the youtube video as well , sorry if its a double read, royal you. Purely curious question here , i promise. Is the idea of this game just collecting loot , leaving with it and coming back with slightly better stuff each time while interacting with friends/randoms ? Thats the only “objective” ?

My friends and I who have mainly played on console forever have been begging for an extraction shooter with controller support that isn’t Vigor for like 5 years. (Great game btw). What’s funny is if Arc Raiders releases a year from now, I think it’s DOA. I’m betting there 5 extraction shooters that enter(CoDs, Battlefields, Fortnites, FarCrys, PUBG black budget, Marathon) by the end of 2026. The shooting isn’t impressive by any means but Embark still beat all these other loser studios to market so fuck em.

Great episode, the section on blueprints gave me PTSD I’ve gotten the jolt mine blueprints like 4 times and barely any others. Would love to see some improvements to the blueprints like a dupe protection especially considering how rare they are.

Nice to hear Lock again!

I think a really cool augment would be one that sacrifices your safe pocket for a booby trap, so when you downed you have the option to blow up your corpse instead of surrender to kill your killer
