ARC Raiders How to Use Free Loadout
Free loadouts in ARC Raiders are your safety net when your stash runs dry. They let you jump straight into a raid with ready gear, no cost, and no cooldown. Here’s exactly how they work and when to use them.
How to Use a Free Loadout
Before starting a raid, select the option to deploy with a free loadout instead of your personal stash. The game will automatically assign you a randomized kit that includes basic weapons, ammo, and supplies. You can’t mix it with your own gear or add items to it.
Once you extract successfully, everything you carried out from that run becomes yours. If you die, you lose it all, but you can instantly grab another free loadout and queue again.
What Makes Free Loadouts Different
Free loadouts are limited versions of your normal loadouts. They carry smaller inventories and no safe pockets, meaning every item is at risk until you extract. You also can’t complete objectives that require specific items from your stash.
They’re best viewed as low-stakes runs meant for practice, scouting, or rebuilding after losing high-tier gear. You’ll still face the same enemies and loot tables, but the trade-off keeps the game economy balanced.
Why You Should Use Free Loadouts
Great for recovering after a death streak
Perfect for learning new routes or spawn zones
Useful when joining friends without decent gear
Helps refill your stash through repeated extractions
Each successful run can slowly rebuild your inventory, even if the gear starts off basic.
When to Choose a Free Loadout
Use free loadouts anytime you’re low on materials or just want a stress-free warm-up. They’re also ideal for testing weapon feel or movement without worrying about losing crafted gear.
Final Blurb
Free loadouts in ARC Raiders give you a way to keep playing, even after total wipes. They cost nothing, have no cooldown, and reward you with everything you extract. Use them smartly to rebuild, practice, or explore without risking your best gear.
