All maps in Arc Raiders and their risk levels explained

Arc Raiders currently has four maps with a fifth one, Stella Montis, on the way. The maps provide players with a varied playing experience in terms of terrain, enemies, and even loot type. For instance, Blue Gate is a visual spectacle of a map that provides players with some of their toughest battles. Meanwhile, Dam Battlegrounds is the first map players encounter and is somewhat less challenging.

All maps have different risk levels; however, they all challenge players to adapt using novel strategies. This article will explain all the maps in Arc Raiders and explain their difficulty or risk levels.

All maps in Arc Raiders explained with their risk levels

As mentioned earlier, Arc Raiders currently has four maps players can explore. These maps are as follows:

• Dam Battlegrounds
• Spaceport
• Buried City
• Blue Gate

A fifth map, Stella Montis, is currently being worked upon by Embark Studios and may be released either later in the season or later on. All four maps provide players with very different combat situations, and they also often differ in terms of how far ARC enemies will usually be from you.

Dam Battlegrounds

This is the very first map you will play in Arc Raiders. Its risk/difficulty level is low and stands at approximately 2/5. The map offers forests and swamplands for players to explore. It is the epitome of a beginner map and allows players to know their ARC enemies and learn about their surroundings.

Dam Battlegrounds is relatively easier to navigate than some of the other maps and features a balanced mix of indoor and outdoor areas. The loot found here may be scarce, especially in the woods. However, ARC enemies are crawling everywhere, and you must stay aware at all times, especially in the dark.

Finally, Dam Battlegrounds also has vital quests that players should prioritize.

Spaceport

Spaceport is a launch facility that now houses ARC machines and many loot-rich areas. It is one of the more difficult maps out of the four and has a moderate to high difficulty level at 3/5.

Spaceport challenges raiders with advanced ARC enemies, but it also offers very high-end loot. The rewards for conquering this map are high, but most players won't go out unharmed as intense PvP zones exist within this largely indoor facility. If another squad finds the loot first, they may as well defeat you in moments. Therefore, the risk of a losing fight is ever-present in Arc Raiders' Spaceport map.

Buried City

Buried City is one of the first few maps showcased in the Arc Raiders gameplay trailer ahead of release. It offers a rustic experience of the history of the game's post-apocalyptic world.

The risk level of Buried City also stands at about 3/5, making it a medium difficulty map for most players. After getting used to the mechanics of the game and understanding the objectives, beginners should make the move to Buried City, where close-quarters combat may be challenging.

The map offers tons of spaces for urban exploration. Snitches are a major threat here, and the threat of being caught by one is ever-present. Ambushes are quite easy to execute from rooftops, making Buried City a very important map to learn map combat basics in terms of defense and measured aggression.

Blue Gate

Finally, Blue Gate is perhaps the most difficult map of them all. Its risk level stands at 4/5, making it a high-risk zone for players both seasoned and new. Blue Gate shows the visual splendor of Arc Raiders and provides players with wide natural expanses that lead all the way to the mountains in the distance.

Advanced ARC enemies like the Leaper are common in Blue Gate, and squad ambushes are more difficult to predict due to the map's wide-open expanse. Mobility and survival skills become necessary on this map in Arc Raiders.

These were all the maps currently present in Arc Raiders with their respective difficulty levels. Stella Montis will likely be added to the game soon and may prove to be a medium-to-high risk map for most players in general.
