ARC Raiders, one of the most popular shooting games recently, has garnered immense popularity since its release thanks to its thrilling combat and complex, engaging mechanics.

The game is set in post-apocalyptic Italy, where powerful ARC robots have taken over Earth's surface, forcing humanity to survive in underground cities. To survive, players take on the role of raiders, venturing to the surface to collect resources to maintain the underground cities.

Furthermore, the game incorporates PvPvE gameplay, where players face not only ARC robots but also other humans. This setting allows players to utilize different weapons and equipment in different scenarios.

Choosing the right weapon is especially crucial for new players, as it will determine whether they can survive and achieve victory. Below, we will introduce some weapons suitable for beginners, along with their detailed information, allowing you to choose to accord to your needs.

1. Ferro

• Rarity: Common
• Type: Battle Rifle
• Ammo Type: Heavy Ammo
• Magazine Size: 1
• Firing Mode: Single
• ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP and PvE

Ferro is one of the best weapons for beginners. Players can obtain it during their adventures or craft it using ARC Raiders material. It boasts advantages such as accurate shooting, long-range damage output, and powerful ARC Armor penetration.

Therefore, even with its relatively slow rate of fire and reload speed, it is considered one of the most recommended weapons.

Furthermore, this versatility allows Ferro to exert strong power in both PvP and PvE scenarios, effectively countering enemies.

2. Rattler

• Rarity: Common
• Type: Assault Rifle
• Ammo Type: Medium Ammo
• Magazine Size: 10
• Firing Mode: Fully-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Moderate
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP

Rattler is another excellent weapon recommended for beginners, and it pairs perfectly with Ferro. It combines damage, range, and handling, making it a well-rounded ARC Raiders Weapon. These characteristics make it perform well against ARC opponents, but it truly shines in PvP against other players.

Note that Rattler has a low magazine capacity. You'll need to monitor its remaining ammo during combat to ensure you have enough firepower to defeat enemies. You can also upgrade Rattler to increase its magazine capacity.

3. Anvil

• Rarity: Uncommon
• Type: Hand Cannon
• Ammo Type: Heavy Ammo
• Magazine Size: 6
• Firing Mode: Single-Action
• ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP and PvE

In our opinion, Anvil is a high-value ARC Raiders weapon. It can unleash tremendous power against ARC and other players, providing powerful suppressive fire. Furthermore, due to its relatively low rarity, novice players can easily craft it to replace their older weapons.

Additionally, in the late game, players can equip Legendary rarity accessory, Anvil Splitter. This ARC Raiders item allows Anvil to fire three bullets per shot, significantly increasing its damage output.

4. Bettina

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Assault Rifle
• Ammo Type: Heavy Ammo
• Magazine Size: 20
• Firing Mode: Fully-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvE

For new players who have already participated in some combat, choosing Bettina is a safe bet. Its powerful ARC Armor penetration allows it to easily inflict fatal damage on ARC robots, thus eliminating them.

Bettina also has some drawbacks; combat causes its durability to drop at an alarming rate, requiring players to regularly repair it to maintain its output and reload speed.

5. Tempest

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Assault Rifle
• Ammo Type: Medium Ammo
• Magazine Size: 25
• Firing Mode: Fully-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Moderate
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP

While Tempest is a powerful weapon, its ARC Armor penetration limits its damage output in PvE, making it more suitable for PvP scenarios.

Furthermore, its low recoil makes it easy to control, even for novice players.

6. Vulcano

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Shotgun
• Ammo Type: Shotgun Ammo
• Magazine Size: 6
• Firing Mode: Semi-Automatic
• ARC Armor Penetration: Weak
• Recommended Scenarios: PvP

Vulcano is designed for close-quarters combat, making it ideal for clearing buildings and eliminating nearby enemies. However, its ARC Armor Penetration is weak, making it unsuitable for dealing with large ARC robots. It is recommended in PvP situations. 

7. Hullcracker

• Rarity: Epic
• Type: Special
• Ammo Type: Launcher Ammo
• Magazine Size: 5
• Firing Mode: Pump-Action
• ARC Armor Penetration: Very Strong
• Recommended Scenarios: PvE

Hullcracker can deal massive damage to ARCs, especially against powerful enemies like Leapers and Bastions, demonstrating superior firepower compared to other ARC Raiders Weapons and making it easier to eliminate these robots.

It's worth noting that this special ARC Raiders weapon, which uses Launcher Ammo, is ineffective against human players. Therefore, novice players are advised to equip it with other weapons to counter other players encountered during exploration.

In ARC Raiders, having a powerful weapon is half the battle won. Novice players can try searching for these ARC Raiders items during looting to enhance their strength and provide stronger firepower.

With your strategy and powerful firepower, you can increase your chances of survival and achieve final victory in both PvP and PvE scenarios.
