Arc Raiders servers crashed again, leaving players without valuable gear

Fans of the multiplayer action game Arc Raiders have once again encountered serious technical issues. This week, the game's servers crashed, leading to massive losses of expensive equipment. Embark studio representatives quickly confirmed the issues on the official Discord community.

Due to the glitches, even a successful extraction from a raid doesn't guarantee inventory safety: players can lose valuable items regardless of the mission's outcome. Furthermore, gameplay itself suffers from instability during runs, manifesting as lags and crashes. This is far from the first time the project's infrastructure has crashed—the studio has previously encountered orchestrated DDoS attacks aimed at destabilizing the servers.

Community members are expressing dissatisfaction not only with the technical issues themselves but also with the way they are being reported. The developers limit themselves to posting on Discord, but not all players regularly monitor this channel. As a result, many learn about the issues only after they've lost progress and equipment. Users are calling on Embark Studios to reconsider its communications approach and use more accessible platforms for urgent notifications to minimize financial and gameplay losses for its audience.
