ARC Raiders first-year infographic showing six billion rounds played alongside enemy, healing, weapon, and other game statistics.

ARC Raiders recorded 6 billion rounds during its first year online, averaging roughly 16 million a day across 365 days. Embark’s anniversary figures show the scale of the game’s PvE activity, but leave the frequency of Raider-on-Raider fights unmeasured.

Players destroyed more than 14.8 billion ARC enemies, including 3,920,595 Queens and 2,919,521 Matriarchs. The graphic also counts 18 Raiders healed by strangers in one raid and 5,643 Raiders healed by a single player. It tracks 6,800 tonnes of food fed to Scrappy and names the Anvil as the Rust Belt’s favored weapon.

One casualty figure stands out: volcanic rocks took out 3,625 Raiders. The tally offers no corresponding count for player-caused knockouts, damage dealt to other Raiders or loot taken from them, leaving the game’s PvPvE conflict out of view.

A separate October PvE matchmaking test drew more than 30 million rounds before ending Oct. 20, 2026. Embark described the response as polarizing while it reviewed feedback. Those figures offer a separate measure of interest in raids without Raider combat, but not how often players fight each other in standard matches.
