ARC Raiders 4 Player Squad Explained
Some have been hoping that ARC Raiders might support four-player teams, and the sad news is that, as of now, it doesn’t. The game locks every squad at three Raiders total, and that’s the full limit no matter the mode or map.
Does ARC Raiders Have 4 Player Squads
No, there’s no four-player squad option in ARC Raiders. You can play solo, as a duo, or fill a team of three. That’s it. The squad cap never changes, and no patch has raised it since launch.
Sometimes you might see extra players nearby while raiding, but those are other squads in the same world instance. The game just blends multiple three-player teams together to make the zone feel more alive.
Why People Think It Exists
The idea comes from old test footage and leftover UI placeholders. Some players still notice a fourth empty slot flash for a second in the lobby screen. It doesn’t do anything, but it looks like it should.
That’s where the fake “fourth teammate” joke started.
Shared World Details
ARC Raiders uses shared instances filled with several small teams, including one that is always full of GamerBlurb members that attempt to take all the loot. You can run into other groups while doing missions, and it looks like one giant party. Each squad still keeps its own loot, revive system, and mission progress.
So even if it feels like four or five people are working together, you’re still capped at three Raiders in your own squad.
Final Blurb
ARC Raiders runs on three-player teams only. You can go solo if you want, but the game is built around tight three-person coordination. Maybe one day we’ll be able to squad up, but until then…
