If you are about to jump into Arc Raiders, you are probably wondering whether it’s possible to play solo. The answer is yes, you can play the game solo. While the title is designed with co-op mode in mind, solo mode lets you explore the outer world in your own way, gather loot, and take down Arcs all by yourself. However, it comes with various challenges, which even increase as you progress in the title.Read on to know more about Arc Raiders and some tips to enjoy the game alone.How to play Arc Raiders as a soloYou can play the game solo and complete the quest on your own. To do so, you just need to turn off the “Full Squad” option from the main menu by visiting the “Play Tab.” While the game automatically matches you with random squads when you don’t have one, it can sometimes become frustrating for several reasons.Turn off Full Squad to play alone (Image via Embark Studios || Sportskeeda Gaming)You won’t get enough loot to take for your own advantage, and the biggest problem is the lack of communication and understanding. Most random players usually keep their mics off and wander around without proper coordination.

Well, that’s not always the case. Sometimes, the game takes a long time to find a match in solo lobbies. And even worse, it occasionally puts you into a duo or trio team instead, which makes survival even more challenging. If you are fortunate, you will get a solo lobby, but even then, it can be challenging to survive.Avoid shooting Hornet when you are playing alone (Image via Embark Studios || Sportskeeda Gaming)You must clear Arc on your way, loot every building, complete the objectives all alone, and then return to the Sapernza without dying. This will also take much time compared to having a proper squad and distributing the task. However, if you’re going solo, there are a few things to keep in mind to increase your chances of survival.Always try to travel through bushes and under tree shades (Image via Embark Studios || Sportskeeda Gaming)First, avoid engaging with the Hornet too much, even if you are equipped with some of the best weapons in the game. Arcs are tough to destroy for their protective shields, and even if you manage to take one down, the noise will alert nearby Arcs, where you will eventually end up in a dicey situation. Try to focus on loot as much as possible, as it is the only hope to survive in this game.Check out: Where to find the Residential Master key in Arc Raiders (Buried City map location)You can loot materials and craft them to get some useful items, weapons, or shields for future use. Lastly, avoid running in open areas. There’s a high chance an Arc might spot you and take you down easily.
