Rolling in ARC Raiders is one of the simplest but most important movement tools in the game. It helps you dodge bullets, avoid explosions, and escape melee hits when things go bad. Here’s how to do it right.

How to Roll in ARC Raiders

To roll on PC, press Left Alt. On controller, tap R1. The move costs stamina, and the direction you roll depends on your movement input. Rolling forward covers the most ground, while backward rolls are shorter but safer if you’re retreating.

You can’t roll endlessly since stamina drains fast. Always keep an eye on your bar before committing to a fight, and leave enough for an emergency dodge if you get ambushed.

How Rolling Works in Combat

Rolling gives you a short window of invulnerability, letting you slip through attacks if timed correctly. It’s not a long window, so roll early when facing explosive or heavy hits. Quick sideways rolls are great for breaking aim locks from other players or repositioning near cover.

Forward rolls are best for closing distance, escaping corners, or diving through gunfire. Backward rolls work well for creating space when reloading or healing mid-fight.

Skills That Help With Rolling

The Mobility skill tree includes a perk called Effortless Roll. It reduces stamina use, making your dodges smoother and more consistent. Pair it with stamina recovery upgrades in Conditioning for longer, faster engagements without running dry.

Rolling Tips You Should Know

  • Rolling forward moves the farthest and is best for escapes

  • Always roll toward cover or angles that break line of sight

  • Avoid panic double rolls or you’ll burn all stamina

  • Use Effortless Roll early to dodge more often

  • Save one bar of stamina for emergencies

Final Blurb

Rolling in ARC Raiders is your main survival trick once fights get chaotic. Tap Left Alt on PC or R1 on controller, time it just before taking damage, and build the right skills to make it second nature. Master the timing and you’ll live longer than most.
