Those are Venator, Anvil, and Renegade. By understanding and operating these correctly, it is possible to dramatically improve your winning rate from beginners to advanced players.

In this article, we will thoroughly explain the detailed performance of these three weapons, their actual combat operations, map-based strategies, and composition examples. We will also introduce damage calculations and upgrade effects numerically. A complete guide to take your PVP skills to the next level.

1. Basic mechanics of Ark Raiders PVP and the absolute superiority of the three strongest weapons

Ark Raiders PVP will be played in solo, duo, and trio formats. The battle is centered around resource points and hatches on the map. Since the encounter rate with enemy players is high and ARC (enemy machines) are also intrusive, weapon selection is directly linked to survival rate and number of kills. In the latest tier list, weapons ranked at S-Tier and above dominate the top of the environment. Among them, Venator (Rare pistol), Anvil (Uncommon hand cannon), and Renegade (Rare lever action rifle) have an overwhelming market share.

We will confirm the superiority of these three types with data. Below is a comparison table of the main stats at Tier IV (maximum enhancement).

weapon name	ammunition type	base damage	Rate of fire (RPM)	Magazine capacity	Weight (kg)	PVP TTK (assumes 200HP torso)	Anti-ARC penetration power
Venator	medium size	18×2 (simultaneous firing)	Approximately 60 (trigger)	10 (expandable)	2	Within 0.5 seconds	Medium
anvil	large	40	Single shot (fast reload)	6	5	0.8 seconds (instant head death)	high
Renegade	medium size	35	lever high speed	8 (expandable)	6	1.0 seconds (head 0.6 seconds)	Junior and senior high school

Venator has the highest instantaneous DPS at close range. The unique mechanism of firing two shots simultaneously with one trigger instantly destroys the enemy's shield. Anvil has a large bullet with high firepower, has a high head shot rate, and is stable even when ARC attacks. Renegade is an all-rounder with mid-range accuracy and improved short-range DPS after upgrading. There are many reports that the average number of kills more than doubles just by having these. Beginners should first obtain the Anvil blueprint first. It is important to get used to PVP from the beginning.

2. Complete analysis of Venator's performance: From obtaining the short-range DPS champion's blueprint to strengthening Tier IV

The Venator is a Rare pistol and is difficult to obtain blueprints for, but once you get your hands on it, it's a game changer for PVP. Base performance is 2 medium bullets fired simultaneously with 1 trigger, damage 36 (18 x 2). Upgrading from Tier I to IV increases fire rate by 66%. It reaches about 60RPM. Weighing only 2kg, it is the lightest in its class. Switching from the main weapon takes less than 0.5 seconds. This allows for emergency insertion during reloading.

The main ways to obtain them are through hatch rewards and enemy player drops. It rarely appears after clearing a 1-star trial. The reinforcement material is based on medium ammunition and consumes Metal Parts x20, Rubber x10, and Electronics x5. Recommended attachments are as follows.

• Magazine expansion III: Capacity 10 → 20 rounds, PVP durability is greatly improved.
• Silencer II: Reduces volume and is suitable for surprise attacks.
• Site I: Improves hipfire accuracy.

Damage calculation example: For a Tier IV Venator with enemy torso HP 200, 2 triggers will do 72 damage and 3 triggers will do 108 damage. After penetrating the shield, the remaining HP is immediately reduced. Achieves TTK of 0.5 seconds. Demonstrates unparalleled strength in close range combat. Maintains S-Tier even after the post-patch weakening (slightly reduced rate). Against ARC, it can instantly kill drones and small objects. For large sizes, we recommend using it in combination with the main.

As a practice method, repeat 2000 hip fire shots in training mode. Master the switch shot assuming the enemy is waiting around the corner. There are many reports of 1v2 victories with this single weapon.

3. Venator's practical operation technique: Crush the enemy with insertion tactics and switching combos

Venator's true value lies in its operation. It shines in closed places such as inside narrow buildings and buried cities. Dominate your enemies in close quarters combat around the water gates. The basic strategy is “switch while reloading the main weapon → insert 2 consecutive shots''. The moment the enemy fires at you, release ADS (aim). Switch to Venator in 0.3 seconds. Pull the trigger twice. This will reduce the enemy's HP by 150 or more. Force immediate down.

Practical example: When encountering an enemy trio, use the main character to kill the first person. A second person peaks from around the corner. Aim for the head with two Venator shots and kill instantly. The third person panics and misses the shot. Finish with a chase. This is a pattern with a winning rate of over 90%.

Countermeasures: Stay away from long-range snipers and take a quick peek using cover. When ARC invades, use Venator to clean the small ones. Return to main. By map, 100% will be used in Buried Town. It is not used in open plains due to lack of range. Equipped with an extended magazine to prevent running out of bullets.

4. Deep dive into Anvil's specifications: The secret of the versatile firepower and penetrating power of the large bullet hand cannon

Anvil is Uncommon but has main class performance. It is easily available and is the best candidate. It is characterized by damage 40/shot at Tier IV, 6-round magazine, and high penetration with large bullets. It weighs 5kg and is easy to handle. If you do 80 damage or more with a headshot, you'll be instantly killed. The anti-ARC performance is also top class. Destroys armor in 2 shots.

Blueprints can be obtained by vendor purchase (15k credits/limit of 3 pieces per day) or with a low probability of hatching. The upgrade cost is low, and it can be raised to Tier III from the beginning. The recommended MODs are as follows.

• Quick Reload II: Improves fire rate by shortening the animation.
• Penetrator I: Enables multiple ARCs to be defeated by strengthening penetration.
• Grip III: Can be used at medium distances with reduced recoil.

Damage simulation: 120 damage with 3 shots to the torso, win with 2 shots to the head. It is rated as overwhelmingly powerful in the PVP environment. There are many records of 7 kills in solo. Even after the patch, S-Tier remains stable.

5. Anvil's PVP Tactics Master: Conquer all distances with quick shots and running penetration

The core of Anvil's operation is the “covering quick shot”. Peaks from the wall for 0.2 seconds. Single head. Repeat hiding immediately. Drive the enemy into poverty. Due to its high penetration while running, it is unrivaled in moving enemies and ARC melee combat. Actual example: Kill a long-range enemy 3 times on the plains map. Finish with a close combat transition.

The composition is excellent. Dual pistol configuration with Venator completely dominates short and medium ranges. As a counter, keep your distance from rapid-fire weapons. It is the weapon with the highest adoption rate regardless of the map.

6. Powerful analysis of Renegade: lever action middle range king and upgrade transformation power

The Renegade is a medium-sized lever gun. Base 35 damage, high accuracy to control medium and long distances. The rate of fire increases at Tier IV. Close-range DPS will be on par with SMG. Although it weighs 6kg, it is perfect for quick peaks. Ideal for aiming at people's heads. ARC medium size can also be processed efficiently.

Acquisition is mainly through hatch rewards. The MOD greatly improves stability with magazine expansion and stock. Damage is won with 5 medium-range shots. 3 shots to the head will kill you instantly.

7. Renegade usage and optimal formation: From dominating high ground to comparing three weapons

The basic operations are peak shooting from high ground and rooftop sniping. As an example, block an approaching enemy by firing the lever repeatedly. Suitable even at short distances. A configuration example is as follows.

• Short-range specialization: Anvil + Venator (for buried cities)
• Medium-range specialization: Renegade + Venator (for plains)
• All-purpose: Anvil + Renegade

In comparison, the Venator is the best at short range, the Renegade is the best at medium range, and the Anvil is the best at all ranges.
