ARC Raiders best budget Loadout for players : easy setup, high value

The free loadouts for ARC Raiders are no longer what they used to be; not only is their drop rate lower, but they've also become increasingly less effective. If you want to increase your chances of successfully extracting resources, earning large amounts of coins, and finding the materials you need in raids, then this low-cost loadout is definitely superior to any free loadout in the game.

The loadout I'm about to introduce is not only very simple to configure and assemble, but it's also extremely cheap and applicable to all situations, whether in PvP or PvE, making it extremely cost-effective. If you adopt my loadout, I believe you'll quickly save a small amount of money and become wealthy.

In ARC Raiders, there are some items that are severely undervalued and neglected, yet they are very effective. Let's take a look.

Essential Items

First, let's look at Augments. We'll be choosing Looting Mk. 1, arguably the easiest Augments to obtain in the game. Its brilliance lies in its ability to easily reach 60kg weight limit if your skills are properly configured.

Secondly, for shields, we'll use the light shield, which is relatively easy to craft. With proper handling, it can easily secure victory in PvP. You can carry two or three.

Finally, for healing items, just use some regular bandages. You can bring more or less depending on your needs; I recommend around five.

These should be enough to survive several encounters. If you're playing ARC Raiders PvP, remember to loot the corpses of defeated enemies for healing items.

Weapon

Next, I'll discuss the most cost-effective weapon currently available in ARC Raiders: Burletta I, and I'll explain why it's so good.

As we all know, Stitcher used to be the strongest, but it has been nerfed. Frankly, even at level 4, its performance is significantly worse than before. Furthermore, upgrading to level 4 requires a considerable amount of materials. Therefore, we need to look for more cost-effective weapons.

Burletta I is a good choice. Firstly, crafting this weapon only requires three mechanical parts and some simple gun components - that's all. The crafting materials are very easy to find, whether you craft them yourself or find them in weapon crates.

Speaking of which, some might ask, doesn't Burletta I need upgrading? My answer is not so much. Basically, the only upgrade to Burletta I increase reload speed. While slow reloading is indeed a bit annoying, remember, we're building a low-cost loadout system using some underrated equipment that offers amazing value. Therefore, keeping Burletta at level 1 is perfectly fine.

Another advantage of Burletta I is that it doesn't require many attachments; just a magazine is enough. Extended Light Mag III is better, but you can also use a regular magazine.

Of course, if you want to equip a second attachment on Burletta I, go for it. But if you want to save as much cost as possible, you can just equip the magazine.

This weapon is very effective in PvP; in PvE, you can take out all small ARC enemies—I'm talking about small ARCs, don't be silly and use it to kill Bastions and Vaporizers, because we're aiming to build a low-cost, high-return loadout.

Quick Use Items

There are some very affordable ARC Raiders Items that are incredibly powerful. Let's take a look.

Gas Mine and Gas Grenade are super cheap and easy to use, especially when being chased by PvP players. Often, Gas Mines are even more effective than Smoke Grenades. Just throw Gas Mines behind you and keep running; the enemy won't be able to catch you, their stamina will gradually deplete, and you can create distance and survive.

Besides these, there's another perfect combination in ARC Raiders: Gas Grenade and Noisemaker. Noisemaker is definitely a top choice among inexpensive gear, but few people choose it. Let me tell you, it's incredibly useful. In extraction shooters, information is crucial; the more information you have, the safer your raid will be.

Sometimes, bringing two or three Noisemakers can completely change the course of your game. For example, if you're looting on the battlefield and someone sneaks up, you might not easily notice. However, if you place Noisemakers on both sides of the area, you can loot safely.

Once an enemy rushes in, Noisemakers will make a sound, letting you know where the attack is coming from. If you just want to survive, you can throw a Gas Grenade at the enemy and then quickly retreat. Therefore, Noisemaker and Gas Grenade are a very useful survival combination.

These are the basic options for low-cost loadouts I wanted to introduce. However, again, what you choose depends on your budget. If you don't like Gas Grenades for some reason, you can use Light Impact Grenades, which are generally sufficient.

This concludes our article on ARC Raiders Loadouts. I believe these are definitely the cheapest yet most effective loadouts, offering a high chance of substantial rewards regardless of the raid you're playing.
