ARC Raiders Achievements & Trophy Guide

The new ARC Raiders playtest finally adds live achievement tracking on Steam and Xbox, giving players a first look at how rewards will unlock when the full game launches. You can’t view every goal yet, but the backend system is already active and tracking progress.

How to Unlock Achievements in ARC Raiders

Achievements in ARC Raiders are tied to your account instead of a single character. Anything related to crafting, base upgrades, or Expedition resets will stay even if you wipe or start fresh. Progress tied to raids or combat resets with your character, but long-term goals carry over across playthroughs.

You’ll see your progress update automatically during the playtest. Steam and Xbox users already have full tracking enabled, while PlayStation 5 support will go live closer to launch.

Expected Achievement Categories

Embark hasn’t published the full list yet, but current data and feature hints show how the system will likely be structured. Expect achievements focused on these areas:

Defeating ARC enemies and surviving raid encounters
Extracting successfully under specific conditions
Building and upgrading all major base stations
Crafting and improving weapons at the Weapon Bench
Completing Expedition resets and earning account buffs
Discovering hidden points of interest during surface runs

Most categories mirror the core gameplay loop, mixing progression and performance milestones instead of simple story-based triggers.

How the Playtest Tracks Progress

The active playtest already includes partial tracking for certain milestones like raid completions, crafting totals, and successful extractions. Some achievements will likely activate after the final release build, but this current setup confirms that progress from now may carry forward if you keep the same account.

Completing major actions like extracting rare loot or crafting advanced gear should already trigger hidden tracking flags, though visible pop-ups are disabled until launch.

What This Means for Completion Hunters

If you want an early head start toward 100 percent completion, use this playtest to start building progress on systems that persist. Focus on:

Crafting upgrades through your Weapon and Equipment Benches
Completing at least one Expedition reset when you hit level 20
Extracting with rare components and crafting materials
Testing every station at your base to log interactions early

Your meta progress and account-based milestones will carry over, setting you up for a strong start when the full list releases.

Final Blurb

Achievements and trophies are now active in ARC Raiders as part of the current playtest, giving players a preview of the full system ahead of launch. You can already build progress toward crafting, upgrades, and extractions while waiting for the full set to drop later this month.
