Arc Raiders introduces a complex skill progression system with 45 skills divided among three trees: Mobility, Conditioning, and Survival. Players are encouraged to prioritize stamina and mobility skills at the game's start.
Mobility Skills Overview
Investing in Mobility early enhances movement and evasion:
- Marathon Runner: Reduces stamina costs when moving.
- Youthful Lungs: Increases maximum stamina.
- Effortless Roll: Lowers stamina usage during dodge rolls.
Advanced skills like Carry the Momentum and Calming Stroll further improve stamina usage and require 15 Mobility points.
Conditioning Efficiency
Conditioning skills boost stamina and reduce equipment penalties:
- Used to the Weight: Decreases slow-down from wearing a shield.
- Loaded Arms: Lessens the encumbrance from weapons.
Other options, like Survivor's Stamina, provide enhanced recovery when critically hurt, needing 15 Conditioning points.
Survival and Utility
The Survival tree supports in-game resourcefulness:
- Looter's Instincts: Speeds up loot revelation.
- Broad Shoulders: Allows carrying more weight.
- In-Round Crafting: Unlocks crafting abilities mid-run.
To maximize effectiveness, prioritize Mobility for core math stamina improvements, followed by Conditioning to minimize drawbacks from gear.
