Arc Raiders is the newest title from Embark Studios, and it's one that certainly has a lot of our attention, as the recent Server Slam was massive for the game.
With expectations high, the game utilizes many mechanics we see in other games, such as Escape From Tarkov, in the form of Traders.
Here's all of them so far.
All Traders In Arc Raiders Explained
Speranaza is the location where our player hub is, and if you've noticed that during the Server Slam, the world itself is very desolate and ravaged.
Before diving into this world, you're going to want to get to know all of the Traders, as this is where you'll end up picking up quests, selling/buying items and more.
Embark has posted an in-depth blog post here, but also noted below for all of the Traders so far.
LANCE
Lance is one of the most talented medics Toledo has on offer. An eccentric, bubbly android, Lance is always trying his best to fit in amongst the humans, regularly singing off-pitch at midnight karaoke, shopping for the newest underground fashion trends, or boxing in Speranza’s fight ring. While amnesia has robbed him of his memories from who he was before he arrived, those trapped memories won’t stay gone forever.
APOLLO
Speranza isn’t Apollo’s first rodeo. A traveling mechanic, Apollo has chosen Speranza as his home for the time being, fixing up whatever Raiders need fixing. While he can at times seem cryptic about his past, Apollo can’t help but try and make wherever he is a better place. Whether that’s running a kids’ football team, or keeping the library stocked with books, Apollo knows there’s more to life than just survival.
TIAN WEN
Most people underground haven’t seen more of Tian Wen than her eyes. Speranza’s resident gun craftsman, Tian Wen is a recluse who seemingly prefers the company of her tools to any human being. She wears her disdain for most Raiders on her sleeve, and only interacts with them out of her own interests. But while she would never admit it, she has a soft spot or two for things in need of repair — action figures, weapons, and sometimes even people.
SHANI
The eagle-eyed head of security for Speranza, Shani has contingency plans for her contingency plans. She is Speranza’s resident ARC expert, and Celeste’s biggest resource when it comes to planning successful skirmishes topside. While most of Speranza’s inhabitants know her to be obsessive, suspicious, and paranoid, Shani doesn’t mind her reputation as long as she’s able to keep her city safe.
CELESTE
A charismatic Raider leader in Speranza, Celeste is the ubiquitous symbol of hope for humanity in the underground. As the leader of the Raiders, she is responsible for keeping morale up, even as the ARC attacks worsen, and when tragedy comes to pass. While she tries to keep the pressure off, you can find her staying up strategizing into the wee hours of the night, furiously playing darts by the bar, and drinking coffee all day to keep her eyes open.
