Embark Studios has marked Arc Raiders’ first 12 months with an infographic highlighting the scale of player activity since launch. According to the figures, players have completed six billion rounds, equivalent to approximately 16.4 million rounds per day.
Players have also destroyed more than 14.8 billion Arc enemies. Among them were 3,920,595 Queens and 2,919,521 MatriArchs, providing a glimpse of how often players have faced the game’s larger machines.
The anniversary statistics also include several examples of cooperation and environmental danger. One Raider healed 5,643 other players, while the highest number of strangers healed by one player during a single raid was 18. Meanwhile, volcanic rocks were responsible for eliminating 3,625 players.
Embark revealed that the Anvil is the Rust Belt’s most popular weapon. Players have also given Scrappy 6,800 tonnes of food, with apricots listed as his favourite.
However, the roundup does not provide a comparable breakdown of PvP activity. It does not state how many Raiders have been knocked out by other players, how much damage PvP encounters have caused, or how many players have been looted after losing a fight.
That omission leaves out a major part of Arc Raiders’ gameplay: unpredictable encounters between players, which can result in cooperation, ambushes or betrayal. Even without those figures, the six-billion-round milestone reflects a busy first year for the game.
