Route Builder

Create Route

Plan and share a custom looting route with the ARC Raiders community. Draw your path on any map, drop annotated pins at key containers, attach photos or video, then publish so other Raiders can follow your run.

How to Build a Route

01

Draw Your Path

After selecting a map above, click directly on the interactive map to place waypoints. Each click extends your route line, letting you trace the exact path you want other Raiders to follow through the zone.

02

Drop Pins

Once your route is laid out, add pins along the path to highlight specific points of interest — container clusters, high-value rooms, or tactical positions. Each pin is assigned an icon that communicates its purpose at a glance.

03

Annotate with Media

For each pin you can write a caption describing what's there and why it matters. Attach a screenshot of the container or the room to give readers a visual reference they can match in-game instantly.

04

Embed a Video

Short on words? Embed a YouTube clip directly into the pin. A timestamped video walkthrough is often the clearest way to explain a tricky spawn, a locked-room route, or a multi-step puzzle location.

05

Complete Your Route

When every waypoint and pin is in place, click Complete Route. You'll be prompted to give the route a name and write a short description — tell the community what map zone it covers, what loot it targets, and roughly how long the run takes.

06

Publish & Share

Post your finished route to make it discoverable in the Find Routes section. Other players can heart your route, launch it directly on the map, and follow your path in real time. Highly-rated routes surface at the top of the community list.

Tips for a Great Route

  • Be specific with pins. A pin that says "check the lockers" is less useful than one that says "3× Blue Lockers, top floor east wing — reliable source for Processors."
  • Target a theme. The best routes have a clear goal: a weapons-parts run, a medical supply loop, or a high-risk harvester path. Focused routes earn more hearts than unfocused ones.
  • Keep it completable. A route that can be finished in a single deployment is far more valuable than an exhaustive map-wide tour. Aim for 8–12 minutes of efficient looting.
  • Use video for complex spots. If a pin requires navigating a multi-floor building or a non-obvious entry point, a 30-second clip is worth a thousand words.
