ARC Raiders adds duo matchmaking and prepares for the North Line update

ARC Raiders It was a huge success for developer Embark Studio. The extraction shooter has had more than 700,000 players since its launch last week, according to Instagram share From the developer, there is a new update with a feature that fans have been asking for.

Pair matching is now an option in ARC RaidersAs confirmed in Update note On the official website on Wednesday. Previously, players would either play online in solo matchmaking or in a team of three, but now, teams of two can go on a run together in hopes of finding the best loot.

ARC Raiders Players take on the role of raiders in a post-apocalyptic land where robots called ARC machines have forced humans to take shelter in underground settlements. Invaders go alone or in groups to head to the Topside to find any valuable loot and complete quests. While out and about, players have to deal with the various ARC machines roaming the land as well as humans who can take down the attacker and steal that loot.

The excitement of the game stems from the extraction mechanism. To get their loot back to the settlement, players need to find extraction points such as an elevator or train. Once the extraction process begins, an alarm goes off, alerting the machines and other raiders of what’s happening, requiring players to try to survive any attacks in order to safely return their loot to the base.

Embark Studios says the update went live earlier in the week, and will prioritize matching players in their queue – solos with solos, duos with duos, and squads with squads. The developer said that since this option has just been implemented, duos may encounter a difference when playing online.
