The beauty around ARC Raiders is all about the different builds you can try, but it’s best to go with the meta if you actively engage in PvP.
The meta around PvP has slightly changed from what it used to be. First, some of the skills have changed from how they used to work. Secondly, it’s possible to apply 80 skill points if you maxed out your stash value to five million before the Expedition project began.
Let’s look at an extremely strong build that you can potentially use to dominate the PvP scene.
Best PvP build in ARC Raiders
Before deep diving into the build, let’s look at how the points are distributed across the three branches.
| Mobility | Survival | Conditioning |
|---|---|---|
| Nimble Climber 5/5 | Looter’s Instincts 5/5 | Used to the Weight 5/5 |
| Youthful Lungs 5/5 | Agile Croucher 5/5 | Blast-Born 1/5 |
| Marathon Runner 5/5 | Silent Scavenger 5/5 | Gentle Pressure 1/5 |
| Slip and Slide 1/5 | Suffer in Silence 1/1 | Fight or Flight 5/5 |
| Sturdy Ankles 2/5 | Broad Shoulders 5/5 | Proficient Pryer 5/5 |
| Calming Stroll 1/1 | Looter’s Luck 2/5 | Unburdened Roll 1/1 |
| Carry the Momentum 1/1 | A Little Extra 1/1 | |
| Crawl Before You Walk 5/5 | Effortless Swing 1/5 | |
| Vigorous Vaulter 1/1 | ||
| Effortless Roll 5/5 | ||
| Heroic Leap 5/5 | ||
| Vault Spring 1/1 | ||
| Vaults on Vaults on Vaults 1/1 |
The build is heavily biased towards Mobility since this is primarily to be used for PvP. You’ll want quickness in your movement, and also be able to use the environment to your advantage. Thanks to Vault Spring and Vaults on Vaults on Vaults, you can do that.

Both Survival and Conditioning have an even investment of points just to aid your ability to stay alive while getting decent loot in the process. I went for Effortless Swing since there could be some situations when you might require melee. This build is heavily influenced by TaxiDLegend, who also shared the efficient routes when you’re levelling up. I have made slight changes to the already-great build based on how I play.
