My experience was short and sweet, I did not enjoy anything about this game not one thing.
Oct 17 - Oct 19 2025
Arc Raiders Server Slam
Xbox Series S
Cancelled Pre Order
Took a minute to find the server slam download, was on home section of Xbox dashboard.
Downloaded the server slam version, 28 gigs onto my Xbox Series S.
Start game running around kind of wtf, this is a prologue to actual beginning.
Did a few custom character tweaks, explored the menus, claimed some items, accepted first quest.
Entered world solo and did first quest, some arc flying machines shot at me, entered some buildings to loot stuff.
Movement feels restricted, no prone, run faster with no active weapon in hand, sprinting has a fatigue bar and it goes away fast.
It has that run and slide movement like in many newer games, it slides far especially with some lightly descending areas.
Looting objects has a long animation and creates noise to some large containers or panels in walls.
Draw distance seems not very far, not sure yet.
The vehicle graphics look same quality as Division 2, not super fancy but ok.
Only one area is available to enter DAM Battlegrounds, its a pvp and pve situation in there.
Didn't see a ton of players but you hear shooting often.
Apparently this zone has limited enemies since other players are in it.
You want to head to places with high loot value, similar to AC Shadows it shows wealth of area.
Of course doing wealthy loot areas should attract more players too, so maybe less wealthy is better?
Entered water treatment area building some dood was camping as door opened and killed me.
You can hear doors opening for easy camps, not good.
The reloads are lengthy using the rattler 2 weapon, most reloads are. Took like 3 seconds.
Has a item wheel, load item and click LB to use, need to change it often heal/grenade/vial etc..
Again not liking the movement, nothing compares to The Division 2 in cover style to me.
Game gives me Stalker 2 vibes with online features.
Crafted items, guns, ammo using some rooster that can be leveled up for more items I am guessing.
Played about 1-2 hours, added some skills points, gained two levels.
There is no player main hub to see other players online like DC in The Division 2, or not seeing it.
Will play it a few more times, did not feel any hook to gameplay at all so back to The Division 2.
Game was pre ordered, then I cancelled after playing this demo thank goodness.
Helldivers 2 is better and I cant stand that game.
There is nothing new or improved about this game at all, my opinion over time gets worse.
I think YouTube videos and streamers are really hyping games not worth anything,
Later in evening I started playing again and immediately knew I had no interest in the game.
Cancelled pre order and uninstalled server slam demo.
