Master the ARC Raiders Skill Tree! Learn how to best invest your experience points in Conditioning, Mobility, and Survival to create your ultimate Raider build. Get the edge you need!

Alright, let's talk about beefing up your Raider beyond just the gear you slap on. You've got a whole Skill Tree to dive into, and it's broken down into three main branches: Conditioning, Mobility, and Survival. Think of it like this: Conditioning is all about making you tougher and more resilient, Mobility helps you zip around the map and reposition like a pro, and Survival is about staying alive when things get dicey and making sure you're well-equipped. You can totally mix and match points between these to make your Raider truly your own. And hey, if you mess up or want to try a new build, you can always reset your tree using coins. Here's a quick rundown of what you can find in each branch: ### Conditioning This tree is your bread and butter for survivability and general toughness. You'll find skills that reduce the impact of being slowed by shields, make you less susceptible to explosions, and even help you recover stamina faster when you're in a tight spot. * Used To The Weight: Makes wearing a shield less of a drag on your movement speed. * Blast-Born: Lessens the effect of explosions on your hearing. * Gentle Pressure: You'll be quieter when breaching doors or containers. * Fight Or Flight: Gives you a fixed amount of stamina back when hurt in combat, but it has a cooldown. * Proficient Pryer: Speeds up breaching doors and containers. It starts at 10.04s and gets faster with each point, down to 7.07s at max level. * Survivor's Stamina: When you're critically injured, your stamina regenerates faster. * Unburdened Roll: If your shield breaks, your first dodge roll won't cost stamina. * Downed But Determined: Gives you more time before you collapse when downed. * A Little Extra: Breaching objects can sometimes give you extra resources. * Effortless Swing: Melee attacks will cost you less stamina. * Turtle Crawl: While downed, you'll take less damage. * Loaded Arms: Your equipped weapon impacts your encumbrance less. * Sky-Clearing Swing: Deal more melee damage to drones. * Back On Your Feet: When critically hurt, your health regenerates up to a certain point. * Flyswatter: Wasps and Turrets can be taken down with a single melee hit. ### Mobility This is where you get zippy! Mobility skills are all about improving your movement, making you faster, and giving you more options to reposition. Think faster climbing, longer slides, and more efficient dodges. * Nimble Climber: Climb and vault more quickly. * Marathon Runner: Moving around costs less stamina. * Slip and Slide: Slide further and faster. * Youthful Lungs: Increases your maximum stamina. * Sturdy Ankles: Reduces fall damage from non-lethal heights. * Carry The Momentum: After a sprint dodge roll, sprinting won't cost stamina for a short period. * Calming Stroll: While walking, your stamina regenerates as if you were standing still. * Effortless Roll: Dodge rolls cost less stamina. * Crawl Before You Walk: When downed, you'll crawl faster. * Off The Wall: Lets you wall leap further. * Heroic Leap: Lets you sprint dodge roll further. * Vigorous Vaulter: Vaulting won't slow you down when exhausted. * Ready To Roll: Increases the timing window to perform a recovery roll when falling. * Vaults on Vaults on Vaults: Vaulting no longer costs stamina. * Vault Spring: Lets you jump at the end of a vault. ### Survival This branch is all about making sure you can keep going, even when things are tough. You'll find skills that improve your looting speed, reduce noise, increase your carrying capacity, and even let you defuse enemy explosives. * Agile Croucher: Increases movement speed while crouching. * Looter's Instincts: Reveals loot in containers faster. It starts at 1.00s and gets faster with each point. * Revitalizing Squat: Stamina regenerates faster while crouching. * Silent Scavenger: You make less noise when looting. * In-round Crafting: Unlocks the ability to field-craft items while topside. * Suffer In Silence: While critically hurt, your movement makes less noise. * Good As New: Stamina regeneration is increased while under a healing effect. * Broad Shoulders: Increases your maximum carry weight by +2. * Traveling Tinkerer: Unlocks more items for field crafting. * Stubborn Mule: Your stamina regeneration is less affected by being over-encumbered. * Looter's Luck: Gives you a chance to reveal twice as many items when looting. * One Raider's Scraps: A small chance to find additional field-crafted items when looting Raider containers. * Three Deep Breaths: Recover more quickly after an ability drains your stamina. * Security Breach: Lets you breach Security Lockers. * Minesweeper: Allows you to defuse mines and explosive deployables when close to them. Remember, you can reset your skill tree using coins, so don't be afraid to experiment and find the build that best suits your playstyle!
