ARC Raiders Nation Podcast

The ARC Raiders Nation is back with a special episode following Embark's surprise announcement of a PvE matchmaking toggle test! We break down everything revealed about the October 13–20 test, including how PvE matchmaking will work, what's changing, what won't be available, the reduced loot values, and what this could mean for the future of ARC Raiders. We also dig into the early player reaction, disagree on some of Embark's decisions, and have a whole lot of fun debating whether PvE is a natural evolution for ARC Raiders, or something that could fundamentally change the PvPvE experience. It's a big announcement, and we've got plenty to say about it.#arcraiders #pve #dutchbutters---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🚀 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL➡️ Join the Crew: Become a channel member for exclusive perks!https://www.youtube.com/@UCBi1Cn2o_2HQbw6zqnybGkQ ➡️ Grab the Gear: Check out our official brand-new merch store! 👕https://dutch-butters-shop.fourthwall.com➡️ Show Some Love: Thumbs ups, Subscriptions, Super Chats, and Super Stickers keep this channel running.

ARC Raiders Nation is back, and this week, we're finally getting some reasons to feel good about what's coming next.The Gamescom interview with Embark Studios gave us a surprisingly positive look at ARC Raiders, and more importantly, it feels like Embark is finally starting to drip-feed information about the October 8 update.We break down the interview, what stood out to us, what Embark may be hinting at, and what we're hoping to see when the October update lands.Then we dive into the TimTheTatman streaming controversy after he reportedly turned down a six-figure deal to play ARC Raiders. We're honestly not sure how to feel about this one. Turning down that kind of money is… well… a LOT of money. 😂And finally, Dutch has a story from this week's livestream about getting Black Widowed by another player in ARC Raiders. If you've played this game long enough, you already know exactly how that story is going to end.➡️ Join the Crew: Become a channel member for exclusive perks!https://www.youtube.com/@UCBi1Cn2o_2HQbw6zqnybGkQ ➡️ Grab the Gear: Check out our official brand-new merch store! 👕https://dutch-butters-shop.fourthwall.com➡️ Show Some Love: Thumbs ups, Subscriptions, Super Chats, and Super Stickers keep this channel running.

This week on the ARC Raiders Nation Podcast, we're talking about a little bit of everything happening around ARC Raiders — and yeah, we’ve got some thoughts about Embark’s latest announcement. 😂With Frozen Trail right around the corner, we couldn't help but wonder why the big reveal was an in-game camera feature instead of something that got everyone hyped for the upcoming content. Was it really the right time for that announcement?But while the announcement may have left us scratching our heads, Embark absolutely showed up at Gamescom. The ARC Raiders booth looked incredible, and the life-size interactive Leaper, Wasp and Hornet displays were seriously cool. This is the kind of stuff that gets people talking about the game.We'll also dig into your comments, talk about what we're expecting from Frozen Trail, and, as always, wander off into some completely unnecessary gaming nonsense along the way.So grab a drink, settle in, and join Dutch and Salty for another episode of the ARC Raiders Nation Podcast!🚀 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL➡️➡️ Support our sponsor - Troomy "#DUTCH" for %30% off your first order. https://troomy.com/➡️ Join the Crew: Become a channel member for exclusive perks!https://www.youtube.com/@UCBi1Cn2o_2HQbw6zqnybGkQ ➡️ Grab the Gear: Check out our official brand-new merch store! 👕https://dutch-butters-shop.fourthwall.com➡️ Show Some Love: Thumbs ups, Subscriptions, Super Chats, and Super Stickers keep this channel running.

This week on ARC Raiders Nation, we’re talking about where the game stands as we head toward the big October 8 Frozen Trails update. Things may be in a bit of a holding pattern right now, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had in the Topside. If your sitting on the outside enjoying other games during the wait.. Well that's okay too. We break down the latest update, check out the new TICK Hunter set, talk about the ongoing cheating problem and what we hope Embark does to address it, read some viewer comments, and give a shoutout to a couple of fellow ARC Raiders creators. It's a fun episode about where ARC Raiders is now and where we hope it’s headed next.Shout outs to  @CoolHwipx  and  @Huuge  - Drop them a follow and tell them that Dutch Butters Gaming sent you. -------------------------TIME STAMPS-------------------------🚀 SUPPORT THE CHANNEL➡️➡️ Support our sponsor - Troomy "#DUTCH" for %30% off your first order. https://troomy.com/➡️ Join the Crew: Become a channel member for exclusive perks!https://www.youtube.com/@UCBi1Cn2o_2HQbw6zqnybGkQ ➡️ Grab the Gear: Check out our official brand-new merch store! 👕https://dutch-butters-shop.fourthwall.com➡️ Show Some Love: Thumbs ups, Subscriptions, Super Chats, and Super Stickers keep this channel running.

Welcome back to ARC Raiders Nation! In this week's episode, we’re diving deep into the explosive interview released by John Raider, where he sat down with "Kenny", the prominent cheat developer responsible for some of the most frustrating tools plaguing ARC Raiders (including auto-joining streamer lobbies and unban tools). We break down the most alarming takeaways from the interview, including how Embark Studios reportedly ignored early security vulnerability reports and closed tickets with automated responses. As dedicated players, we share our growing frustration with Embark’s apparent lack of urgency, minimal anti-cheat enforcement, and what feels increasingly like indifference toward the community.Also in this episode:• A quick look at this week's cosmetic update and the new "Dweller" outfit.• Going through your comments and feedback from last week's video.What are your thoughts on the cheating situation in ARC Raiders?

In this episode of ARC Raiders Nation, Dutch and Salty break down the latest ARC Raiders Store Update 1.38.0 changes and delve into the massive anti-cheat conversation taking over the extraction shooter community.We react to John Raider’s recent undercover interview with an actual ARC Raiders cheater, uncovering how easy these underground markets operate, cheap replacement accounts, and what Embark Studios needs to do to safeguard the game’s future. Plus, Dutch shares a wholesome, hilarious story about getting "stream sniped" by channel viewers who showed up to help him survive topside instead of taking him out.💬 What do you think Embark should do to combat cheaters in ARC Raiders?

Dutch and Salty are back to discuss the latest small ARC Raiders patch dump and store additions for this week. Admittedly, things are a little slow out there. People are wrapping up the expedition and we are hitting that second half of Summer as we wait for The Frozen Trail update in October. Seekers were broken.. they will be fixed. Cheaters are being punished.. sort of. New cosmetics are out there as well. Where are you at with the game?

Another week, another ARC Raiders patch... and another round of everyone arguing about whether Embark actually fixed anything. This week we're digging into the new aggression system for solos, duos, and trios. Talking about why half the community still isn't buying it. Then, covering the rest of the patch, reading some of your comments, and putting on our tinfoil hats to talk about the rumored Seeker grenade stealth nerf.
