Arc Raiders gives you a surprisingly deep lineup of grenades, mines, and utility explosives. Some are simple throw-and-boom tools, while others offer traps, stuns, lures, and even homing projectiles. If you're new to the game, it can feel like you're picking items blind. If you're a bit more experienced, you already know the right explosive can save a messy extraction or carry you through an ARC swarm.

And if you ever feel stuck on progression or just want to experiment with stronger gear sooner, you can always buy Arc Raiders items cheap at SHANNENG to smooth out the grind. It's an easy way to focus more on the action and less on waiting for the perfect drop.
