Arc Raiders PvE Mode – How It Works & Tips

Arc Raiders PvE Mode

Arc Raiders includes a dedicated PvE mode where you face only ARC enemies without player-vs-player encounters.

How PvE Mode Works

• Toggle PvE mode in the expedition lobby before deploying
• No other human players in your expedition instance
• ARC enemy density is slightly increased to compensate
• All quests and objectives function normally
• Loot tables are the same as PvPvE mode

PvE vs PvPvE

Feature	PvE Mode	PvPvE Mode
Other players	None	Multiple squads
ARC density	Higher	Standard
Loot quality	Same	Same
XP rate	Same	Same
Quest availability	All	All

When to Play PvE

• Learning new zones without player interference
• Completing quest chains focused on objectives
• Farming specific materials without competition
• Practicing boss fights like the Matriarch

Tips

• PvE is great for farming runs since nobody contests your loot
• Use stealth builds to avoid the increased ARC density
• ARC Sentinels are harder in PvE due to no player distractions
