The Ultimate Guide to Tweaking Your Arc Raiders Settings

Maximizing Your Gameplay Experience

Hey there, fellow Raiders! Ready to embark on an epic adventure in Sperenza? Whether you’re new to the squad or a seasoned pro, getting your settings just right can make all the difference. While the visuals in Arc Raiders are stunning, you don’t need to be rolling with the most expensive graphics card to enjoy smooth sailing (or should I say, smooth shooting?). Trust us, the game is made to run well, even if you’re rocking some modest hardware.

We’ve put our rigs to the test and found that with the right settings, you can score an average of 104fps on an RTX 4070. That’s enough to keep your gameplay delightful and breezy, ensuring you can aim like a sharpshooter without any frame hiccups. Keep your fingers crossed and those settings fine-tuned, and you’ll be dodging bullets like a pro!

Optimize Like a Boss

Now, if you’re looking to boost your performance, let’s dive into some suggestions. First things first—turn off that pesky motion blur! It’s like trying to see through fog; you want clarity, not confusion. Set your RTX global illumination to static, crank down reflections to medium, and let foliage be as low as it can go without causing a riot (because who needs bushes messing with your vision?).

If you’re feeling adventurous, enable the DLSS frame generation—though keep it at 2x max. Higher levels can cause some annoying latency that’s about as welcome as a snowstorm in July!

Feeling fancy? Jump up to 1440p and aim for a smooth 78fps while keeping your graphics on high. If you want to stay competitive during firefights, either scale back your settings or dip into DLSS for some extra flair without sacrificing performance.

Now, 4K gaming is the dream, isn’t it? But fair warning: Your RTX 4070 may wheeze a bit, averaging around 43fps. If that’s choppy enough to make your stomach turn, switch the detail settings to high and slap on that DLSS upscaling to keep things nice and snappy.

Sound like a tech wizard? Great! Because audio matters, too! Use a gaming headset—your eardrums will thank you later. That way, you’ll catch every stealthy footstep without having your ears blown out when a grenade goes off. And hey, enable Night Mode, which smooths out those loud booms and soft whispers, so you can discern crucial sounds like your buddy’s requests for backup.

Don’t forget to toggle on push-to-talk for proximity chat. The game tends to keep this feature open by default, but let’s keep the random chatter low-key unless you’re ready to share your strategies with the nearby crew.

Oh, and for my handheld gamers out there, rejoice! Arc Raiders runs like a champ on the Steam Deck—just make sure you’re in Proton Experimental mode, and you’ll be cruising through battles with 40-50fps without any hiccups. The HUD might feel a bit packed, but hey, it’s all part of the experience.

Finally, if you’re itching to keep tabs on your performance, use those handy performance monitoring tools from Nvidia or AMD. They can help you keep your game in tip-top shape while you blast through the chaos of Arc Raiders.

So gear up, tweak your settings, and get ready to dive deep into the action. Remember, every second counts when you’re out there dodging raiders and saving the day!
