Arc Raiders players have destroyed 14.8 billion robots, but Embark is keeping its PvP stats quiet
Embark Studios marked Arc Raiders’ first year with figures showing that players completed six billion rounds, but its anniversary roundup left out detailed statistics on player-versus-player activity. The omission means the figures celebrate the game’s scale and cooperation without showing how often Raiders fight, deal damage to one another or loot defeated players.
Players destroyed more than 14.8 billion robotic enemies, including nearly 3.9 million Queens and 2.9 million MatriArchs. One player healed 5,643 others, while another healed 18 strangers in a single raid; meanwhile, 3,625 players were killed by volcanic rocks. Embark also named the Anvil the Rust Belt’s favourite weapon and said players fed Scrappy 6,800 tonnes of food, with apricots his favourite.
In short
- Players completed six billion rounds in Arc Raiders’ first year.
- More than 14.8 billion robotic enemies were destroyed.
- Embark did not share detailed PvP statistics.
