Your goal in each raid is simple: go to the surface, scavenge valuable loot, survive all threats (ARC and other players), and return to your underground base, Speranza, safely.

Preparation (In Speranza):

Gear Up: Decide what you'll take into the raid. You'll equip weapons, shields, and utilities (like bandages and shield rechargers).
Free Loadout: If you're low on in-game currency or just want a risk-free run, you can select a Free Loadout. This gives you basic gear at no cost, but you won't have a Safe Box to secure loot if you die. This is perfect for learning the different maps at no cost (except your time)
Personal Gear & Safe Box: If you bring your own gear, you get access to the Safe Box (1 slot). Any item placed here is saved even if you die in the raid. This is crucial for rare finds.

Exploration (The Surface):

Looting: Scavenge for crafting components, ammo, healing items, new weapons, and other valuables in buildings and containers.
Enemies (PvE): You'll face the ARC machines, which come in various forms, from small, stealthy Ticks and aerial Snitch drones to massive threats like the Queen. Killing them often yields components and 📦ARC Powercell (which can be used to recharge your shield).
Other Raiders (PvP): Other players are your biggest threat. You can play solo, duo, or in a trio (max 3 people). You may encounter other players who can be friendly, cooperative, or hostile—always be on guard! Proximity chat can lead to both cooperation and ambushes. Assume everyone want to kill you to get your loot so be cautious !
Mobility: Use tools like 📦Zipline and the 📦Snap Hook for quick movement and verticality (pretty rare during the server slam). Remember that running without your weapon drawn is faster.

Extraction:

The Exit: To keep your loot (especially anything in your backpack/inventory, not just the Safe Box), you must successfully extract.
Alarm: Extraction is loud and public. When you call the extraction elevator or transport, an alarm sounds, alerting both ARC machines and nearby Raiders.
Survive the Wait: You must survive the brief wait for the extraction vehicle and stay inside it until it leaves the map.
Downed Extraction: A unique feature is that you can still use the extraction console and escape even if you are in a downed state (crawling).

I linked a really simple loadout using a ⚔️Ferro (I). If you can hit your shot, this gun is cheap and hit quite hard !
