[Ark Raiders]Complete strategy guide to dramatically improve PvP win rate | Thorough explanation of mental strengthening, divine techniques, infinite dash, strongest skill tree & weapon build

ARC Raiders is a survival shooter that combines PvP and PvE between players, set in a ruined future world. The biggest appeal of this game is the tense PvP battles that suddenly begin while you're exploring. Since everyone from beginners to advanced players compete on the same server, the slightest mistake can lead to instant death, and the current situation is that many players have unstable win rates.

However, reading this guide will completely eliminate your worries. We will comprehensively explain everything you can do to dramatically increase your winning rate, including strengthening your mental health, countering surprise attacks, advanced shooting techniques, unlimited ways to use stamina, and skill trees and weapon builds optimized for the current environment. If you practice this, you will lose a lot of games and you will be able to get a lot of kills while avoiding the fishermen. I will explain it without omitting any details, so please read it carefully.

1. The biggest enemy of PvP improvement is mental! Overcome fear and develop calm judgment

The biggest mistake made by 90% of players who can't win in PvP is not a lack of aim, but a mental breakdown. Situations may arise where the fishermen are attacked by surprise and panic and are unable to shoot back immediately, or they charge recklessly and attack the fishermen. To prevent this from happening, first let's change our mindset.

1-1. Golden rule for surprise attacks: Immediate return fire and positioning priorities

The moment an enemy suddenly shoots at you, most players freeze and get hit. To overcome this, please instill the following behavioral guidelines into your body.

• Prioritize immediate return fire. If you hear the sound of a shot, launch a counterattack within 0.5 seconds. Even if your aim is off, just keep shooting and you can greatly disturb the enemy's aim. Weapons like the free loadout Stitcher (high rate of fire SMG) can instantly deal huge damage at close range.
• Immediately move to the position where you want to cut into the lane. Shoot back and get behind walls and obstacles. A 90 degree turn will completely block the enemy's view in the map corridor. Beginners will thoroughly practice the “L-shaped movement.” The flow is to shoot to the left and slide to the right. This will prevent the enemy from pursuing you and will definitely create a counter opportunity.

The best way to practice is to repeat the drill by placing AI enemies in solo mode and reacting instantly based only on sound. Even just 10 minutes a day will definitely improve your skills.

1-2. Training your patience to prevent fishermen: 20 second rule and observation skills

The most dangerous moment is immediately after defeating an enemy. When you get excited and aim for your next prey, you get shot from behind.

• Strictly adhere to the 20 second rule. After a kill, always scan your surroundings for 20 seconds to see if there are any signs of the Fisherman. Focus all your attention on sounds, footsteps, and distant gunshots. Let's practice measuring using a timer app.
• Do not intervene in other players' battles. Even if you hear gunshots in the distance, do not rush in immediately and secure your position. “Fishing fishermen'' who wait for fishermen are the strongest.

The specific methods of mental strengthening are as follows.

• After every game, be sure to write down the reason for your loss (e.g. “Panic killed me instantly”).
• Share information with allies using voice chat. Psychological stability will be greatly improved.
• Treat each loss as a “learning opportunity” and set a goal of keeping your losses to no more than five per day.

If you follow these steps thoroughly, your mental breakdown rate will decrease by 80%. Next we move on to practical techniques.

2. Toward the realm of shooting: Master crouching shots, jumping shots, and sliding combos

You can't win just by aiming. The “move'' that completely disturbs the opponent's aim is the difference between victory and defeat. Below are the strongest techniques proven in today's environment.

2-1. Orthodox use of crouching fire: dual wielding to improve accuracy and disturb the enemy

It is overwhelmingly effective at medium distances (10-20m). Crouch and hit repeatedly to make the enemy miss their aim.

• The correct way to do this is to repeatedly press the C key while ADS (aim). Repeat crouching and standing up, causing the enemy's crosshair to swing violently up and down. Examples of weapons are Bobcat (low recoil AR) and Stitcher.
• The effect is a 20% increase in accuracy and a complete collapse of enemy hit prediction. It shows unparalleled strength especially in indoor battles.
• An advanced technique is to mix slides and move laterally while crouching. Great compatibility with Stitcher.

To practice, shoot at a dummy doll for 10 seconds in training mode, aiming for a hit rate of 90% or higher.

2-2. Jump shooting: Champion move of high rate of fire weapons

For high rate of fire weapons (Stitcher, Renegade, Ventor) only. Disturbs the enemy's perspective vertically.

• The way to do it is to shoot while hitting the space key repeatedly. Shoot at the top of the jump and crouch as you land.
• Its strengths are when approaching quickly and avoiding side hits. Completely disables enemy headshot aim.
• DPS increases explosively with weapons that fire at 600 RPM or more.

The point to note is that low rate of fire weapons will put you at a disadvantage. Weapon selection is very important.

2-3. Strongest move: sliding + dodge roll shooting

Demonstrates invincible strength in close combat against enemies behind walls.

1. Ctrl+Forward to slide closer.
2. As soon as you land, press Shift + arrow keys to dodge roll.
3. Shoot while rolling.

An example of use is to slide against an enemy waiting in a corner, evacuate with a roll, and then slide again. Survival rate increases by 300%. It is especially powerful when combined with an anvil (shotgun).

2-4. Escape techniques that will dramatically increase your survival rate

When I feel like I'm about to lose, I calmly run away.

• Grenade trick: Throw it backwards to completely block the enemy's progress. While running away, pull out the pin and throw it behind you.
• Weapon Swap + Dodge Roll: Cancels reload stiffness with a roll. Instantly switch sub-weapon (Venator pistol).

Combining these will result in slide → grenade throw → roll escape, increasing the kill rate by 15%.

3. Stamina = life! Complete elucidation of the mechanism and applied techniques of infinite dash

Movement in Ark Raiders relies on stamina. Running out of stamina in PvP means instant death. Completely master the infinite dash.

3-1. Basic specifications

• When your stamina is full, you can do an infinite dash for 5 seconds.
• When using an adrenaline injection, you will have infinite stamina for about 10 seconds.
• Stamina will be recovered while sliding. It is especially effective when fired repeatedly on slopes.

3-2. PvP application

• When you are being chased, you can escape for a total of 20 seconds or more with 5 seconds of full tank dash → slide recovery → 10 seconds of injection.
• When pursuing, shorten the distance by repeatedly dashing, and then finish it off with a slide shot.
• Please note that dodge rolls when the tank is full will waste stamina. This is strictly prohibited.

If you use Marathon Runner (consumption reduction) + Young Lungs (maximum value increase) in skill combination, the duration will be doubled. There are many reports of people wiping out all the fishermen with an infinite dash.

4. Current PvP strongest skill tree: Recommended distribution and traps to avoid

Skill trees are difficult to redraw. If you put together a PvP specialized build correctly, you can become unrivaled.

4-2. PvP specialized build example (total 76 PT, level 75 max)

• Early stage (1-20LV): Create during the round → Marathon runner/solidify your survival foundation with young lungs.
• Midfield (21-50LV): Wide shoulders → strengthens fishing by breaking through security.
• Final stage (51-75LV): Get used to the weight, become a master of prying, and master combat with slips and slides.

4-3. Skills to avoid at all costs

5. PvP strongest weapon tier list & optimal build
