How to Use It
Trigger: While hanging onto a ledge or railing, press backward (S) and Jump (Space) simultaneously.
Effect: Instead of climbing up, your character pushes away from the surface and leaps backward or sideways.
Upgrade: Investing up to 5 points increases the horizontal distance of this push (roughly 3–4 meters at max level) but provides no vertical height.
Utility Tips
Repositioning: It is primarily used to jump between nearby rooftops or ledges while hanging, rather than for vertical climbing.
Combat: Some players use it to quickly disengage from a ledge and ready their weapon, though many in the community currently consider it a niche skill compared to simple ledge drops.
Fall Damage: It does not naturally negate fall damage; you must still time a dodge roll upon landing to avoid damage from medium heights.
Is it worth it?
Yes, ARC Raiders is generally considered worth it, receiving high praise as a fresh and highly-rated take on the extraction shooter genre. The "Off the Wall" update refers to a specific movement perk, which is considered a niche, but useful skill for advanced players.
High Critical Acclaim: The game has been a massive success since its launch in late 2025, earning high Metacritic scores (averaging around 87) and high player counts. It even won "Best Multiplayer Game" at The Game Awards 2025.
Approachable Extraction: It balances high-stakes tension with accessibility, offering free loadouts that allow players to jump back in quickly after dying, which makes the "easy-come, easy-go" loot system less punishing than other games in the genre.
Engaging Gameplay: Reviewers praise its excellent sound design, immersive atmosphere, intense PvPvE (player versus player versus environment) encounters, and satisfying progression system. Every run tends to offer unique, emergent gameplay stories.
Solo Friendly: Despite being a multiplayer-focused game, many solo players find it an excellent experience, with a surprisingly helpful community and options for stealthy PvE runs.
