Easy Solo Arc Routes and Tricks — Fastest Way to Farm Currency and Loot
This guide teaches you how to clear every Arc in Arc Raiders as a solo player in seconds using reliable, repeatable tactics. You’ll get optimized loadouts, movement and spawn tricks, best loot routes, and practical steps to turn runs into a consistent Arc Raiders solo farm. Whether you want fast arc clears for currency, XP, or upgrades, this walkthrough focuses on simple, high-success techniques that work without exploits and with minimal mechanical demands.
Why this guide works
It prioritizes repeatability: techniques that work in most matches.
It uses few mechanical inputs: you don't need perfect aim or reaction times.
It optimizes both time-to-clear and loot per minute to maximize reward.
It focuses on solo viability: all routes, builds, and decisions are designed for one player.
Quick-start: 30-second summary
Pick a mobility-focused, high-damage loadout. Mobility + burst damage beats slow DPS in solo runs.
Prioritize the Arc objective that spawns in predictable locations; learn one or two reliable routes per map.
Use fast arc clears mechanics: stagger enemies, chain crowd-control, and exploit encounter scripts that pause enemy spawns.
Extract early when loot yield per minute is better than taking diminishing returns on a hard fight.
Repeat: consistency beats a single perfect run.
Core concepts to master
Arc objectives and spawn behavior — Most Arc objectives have predictable waves or scripted pauses you can exploit for quick clears.
Solo arc farming is about time-to-loop, not absolute loot per run. Faster runs with slightly less loot often produce higher net gain per hour.
Positioning and zone control let you funnel enemies into kill zones and reduce incoming damage.
Extraction timing balances loot risk vs reward—know when to extract and when to push for one extra container.
Recommended solo playstyle
Speed-first: treat each Arc as a sprint rather than a drawn-out fight.
Hit-and-fall-back: aggressive initial burst, then use mobility to reset or extract.
Funnel and AoE: maximize area-of-effect (AoE) hits against clustered mobs.
Opportunistic looting: loot only when safe; skip heavy contested containers when time-cost is high.
Best solo builds (Tiered)
Below are three build archetypes. Each entry explains why it’s ideal for solo arc farming, suggested gear, and quick play tips.
Mobility-Burst (Best overall for speed)
Why: Rapid engagement, quick eliminations of Arc targets, easy repositioning.
Weapons: High-rate-of-fire SMG or light AR for mobility; a secondary high-burst weapon (shotgun or marksman) for elites.
Gear priorities: Movement speed; cooldown reduction for mobility skills; burst damage mods.
Play tips: Open with mobility skill to engage, unload burst to break shielded enemies, then reposition and finish with SMG. Use grenades or AoE to finish waves.
Tanky Skirmisher (Best for consistency)
Why: High survivability reduces the need to reset runs; good for newer solo players.
Weapons: AR with good sustained DPS; secondary with crowd-control (explosive).
Gear priorities: Health, shield regen, damage reduction, and short cooldowns.
Play tips: Use shields to bait enemies into tightly packed positions, then detonate explosives. You’ll clear slightly slower but avoid wipes, keeping runs uninterrupted.
Precision Ghost (Best for high-value loot spots)
Why: Elite-target focus and stealth positioning let you bypass trash mobs and secure specific objective spawns quickly.
Weapons: High-damage marksman rifle; silenced tools if the game supports stealth mechanics.
Gear priorities: Aim stability, critical damage, stealth or aggro reduction.
Play tips: Skip low-tier enemies; prioritize sniping Arc markers and then extract. Works best on maps with long sightlines.
Pre-run setup (What to configure before you queue)
Loadout presets: Save at least two presets (Mobility-Burst and Tanky Skirmisher).
HUD and keybinds: Put mobility and grenades on easy keys; prioritize quick access to headset commands if the game offers pinging.
Consumables: Bring movement and damage-boosting consumables. Use healing items sparingly to avoid downtime.
Warm-up: One minute of aim warm-up — quick sprays or a target track helps muscle memory for the burst windows.
Map knowledge and route planning
Maps shape your loot farming routes. Learn each map’s common Arc spawn regions, choke points, and extraction positions. The secret to fast arc clears is choosing the route that minimizes travel while maximizing immediate enemy clusters.
Identify the common Arc spawn nodes on each map. Many maps funnel players through predictable corridors or arenas.
Choose a “primary lane” per map — the route you attempt every run. Learn a secondary lane as a fallback if the primary is contested or spawns a tougher variant.
Study extraction points: pick the one you can reach in under 30 seconds after finishing an Arc if possible.
Step-by-step solo clear for a typical Arc (Actionable)
Spawn and sprint to the Arc marker using your mobility skill.
Take high ground or a choke point that lets you view incoming waves (if available).
Open with AoE or burst to stagger the first wave. Use grenades or explosive mods to collapse trash mobs.
Use mobility to dodge heavy attack animations and reposition when shields regenerate.
Focus priority targets: Arc cores or elite types that drop high-tier loot.
After the final wave, secure any immediate containers within a 10–12 second window only.
Extract immediately if the map is contested or if your inventory is near cap; otherwise move to a nearby respawn or another Arc node.
Speed tricks that shave seconds (and how to practice them)
Ledge-hop resets: Use short hops on the edge of a platform to cancel recoil animations and move faster between strafes.
Bounce-strap: Combine mobility skill with sprint-cancel to maintain top speed while firing.
One-clip finishes: Train to output full clip damage in the first 1.5 seconds of a fight; practice recoil control in the firing range.
Door-preaiming: Pre-aim doorways where waves spawn to begin unloading the millisecond they appear.
Quick-loot rule: Spend no more than 10 seconds per container; skipping some containers statistically improves net loot-per-hour.
Practice routine:
Spend 10–20 minutes in a private session practicing mobility combos and clip-timing. Time your runs and aim to cut 5–10% off your average time each week.
Which Arcs to prioritize for fastest payout
Not all Arc objectives are equal. Prioritize:
Arcs with high elite/rare spawn rates.
Arcs near extraction points.
Arcs that spawn in arenas or corridors where you can funnel mobs into AoE damage. Avoid:
Open-field Arcs that force long chases or expose you to flanking.
Arcs that trigger large mini-bosses unless you have a tanky build or clear plan.
Loot optimization: what to pick and what to leave
Always prioritize currency items and upgrade materials over low-tier blueprints or junk gear.
If you can reach vendor storage or immediate extraction, pick rare item drops that fit your build.
Use quick-scan for item icons to make a snap decision — if the item doesn’t improve your primary stat or sell value, leave it.
Advanced solo techniques
Wave manipulation
Use enemy aggro and scripted spawn points to force waves into your AoE. Lure a group into a choke point, then detonate an AoE to wipe them in one go.
Aggro cycling
When quality of life allows, intentionally take a single heavy hit to reset enemy AI focus, then back out and pick them off one at a time. This reduces incoming damage density.
Spawn camping
On maps with predictable spawns, position yourself near spawn exits and pre-aim; you’ll get faster clear times because enemies appear in your kill zone.
Resource stacking
Save cooldowns for the last wave where the most loot and elite spawns occur to maximize loot farming routes efficiency.
When to extract vs push for more loot
Extract when: your inventory is near full; extraction point is close; you’ve hit a personal time target; enemies are overwhelming you.
Push when: you're confident in your build for boss-tier enemies; you're on a streak of quick clears and loot quality is high; you have an extraction window > 45 seconds and low immediate risk.
Rule of thumb: if the time to secure another container exceeds the expected value of its contents, extract.
Example run breakdown (timed)
0:00 — Spawn, sprint to Arc marker (10–15s).
0:15 — Engage first wave; eliminate trash with AoE (10–20s).
0:35 — Focus priority elites; use burst to kill shields and bosses (20–30s).
1:05 — Loot quick containers in 10s window.
1:20 — Head to extraction or next Arc depending on spawn logic. Total: Aim for 60–90 second runs for most maps.
Loadout checklist (copy-paste ready)
Primary: High-RoF SMG or mobile AR with mobility-stability mods.
Secondary: High-burst shotgun or marksman rifle for elites.
Grenade: AoE explosive or crowd-control.
Mobility: Dash/teleport or sprint-boosting ability with short cooldown.
Armor: Mobility and shield regen prioritized over bulky HP.
Consumables: Speed boost; temporary crit/damage potion.
Common solo mistakes and how to fix them
Mistake: Engaging in extended firefights. Fix: Reposition and burst—don’t trade time for damage.
Mistake: Over-looting. Fix: Adopt the 10-second quick-loot rule.
Mistake: Ignoring extraction routes. Fix: Always map an exit before the final wave.
Mistake: Wrong modifier stacking. Fix: Prioritize movement and burst mods for solo runs.
Monetization and economics: maximize profit per hour
Track loot-per-run vs run-time for a sample of 20 runs to compute average coin/hour.
If certain routes yield high-value drops less frequently but inflate run time dramatically, swap them for quicker, more consistent routes.
Rotate two routes to reduce variance: one fast and consistent, another slightly slower but with higher upside.
Practice drills to master this guide
Drill 1: 10 repeated runs on the same Arc and time them. Aim to reduce average by 10% in a session.
Drill 2: Burst-shot control — practice emptying a full clip in under 2 seconds on moving targets.
Drill 3: Mobility-canceling — pair mobility skill with aim resets to maintain DPS while moving.
How to adapt when the meta changes
If a patch nerfs your favorite ability, swap to the Tanky Skirmisher or Precision Ghost until a new burst tool is available.
Watch for changes in enemy behavior scripts. If spawns become less predictable, favor survival and slow pushes.
Test new weapon archetypes in the firing range and re-evaluate the 10-run average before committing to a new route.
Social and behavioral advice (for streamers and creators)
Narrate your thought process: viewers love concise decision-making and timer commentary.
Show comparative runs: one optimized run vs one “bad spawn” run to teach viewers how to recover.
Create short clips of your fastest runs for social platforms; label them with time and loot results.
Offer downloadable route maps or overlay markers to help followers replicate your runs.
Troubleshooting: what to do when runs go wrong
If you die early: abandon the run, note the cause, and remake the loadout to counter that specific threat.
If loot variance is high: average across more runs or switch to steady-route farming.
If the map is constantly contested: queue for odd hours or switch servers if latency isn't an issue.
Safety and fair-play note
This guide focuses on in-game mechanics, positioning, and legal tactics that respect the game’s community and rules. Avoid exploits, bugs, or third-party tools that violate terms of service. Short-term wins from exploits can lead to bans and harm the community.
Sample solo route (map-agnostic, adaptable template)
Entry: Sprint to left corridor, use mobility to flank the spawn.
Choke: Hold high-ground above the funnel; use AoE downward.
Priority: Kill mechanical elites first, then shielded casters.
Loot window: Sweep nearby 2 containers in 10s.
Push: If clear, rotate 15–20s to next Arc node; else extract.
Optimization checklist (before each run)
Preset selected: Mobility-Burst or Tanky Skirmisher.
Hotkeys assigned: mobility, grenades, quick-heal.
Inventory: enough slots for 2 rare drops.
Extraction plan: verified and <30s from Arc.
Motivation: 10–15 minute session goal.
Measuring your progress
Track these KPIs:
Average time per Arc (goal: <90s).
Loot per hour (coins/materials).
Success rate (runs completed vs aborted).
Average loot-tier per run.
Aim to improve one KPI at a time. Speed reductions should not sacrifice success rate significantly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the single best tip for solo Arc Raiders farming?
The best tip is to prioritize time-to-clear over absolute loot per run — aim for fast arc clears and extract early when appropriate.
Can I solo every Arc without dying?
Yes, with the Tanky Skirmisher build and conservative play you can greatly reduce deaths. However, some enemy combos still pose risk; practice and map knowledge are key.
Are these methods exploits?
No. This guide emphasizes legal in-game strategies: positioning, loadout optimization, and spawn manipulation without exploiting bugs or using third-party tools.
How many runs per hour can I expect?
With consistent 60–90 second runs, expect 40–60 runs per hour, depending on loading times and extraction travel.
Do I need specific gear drops to use these strategies?
No. You can start with default weapons that fit archetype roles. Gear enhances efficiency but is not strictly required.
Should I play stealth or aggressive for best farm?
For most players, aggressive mobility-burst is best. Stealth works on specific maps and players who can reliably bypass trash mobs.
How do I adapt when the map spawns change?
Have a secondary route and practice it. Use conservative play until you understand the new spawn patterns.
