Playtest Details
The playtest for Arc Raiders commenced on April 30 and will conclude today, May 5. This is a closed test, meaning that interested gamers had to request an invite to join. Thanks to the data shared by the developer on X, those who got access have played four million rounds, translating to over 1.7 million hours spent on the game by May 4. During this time, players eliminated seven million Arc enemies. However, the most formidable boss, named The Queen, has only been defeated just 58 times, highlighting the game’s difficulty.
The Queen Boss
The Queen is a massive mechanical spider that demands a lot of patience, commitment, and firepower to take down. Queens are part of a group of Arc characters, which also includes Wasp, Tick, Rollbot, Bison, Fireball, Rocketeer, Hornet, and others. The Queen stands out as the largest and the most challenging to defeat.
As per Embark’s post, there was only one player or Arc Raider who had succeeded in upgrading Scrappy the Rooster to the highest level (level 5). Since that time, a few more players have managed to do so. Upgrading or training Scrappy necessitates materials that can be found in-game, and the rooster collects materials while players embark on raids, enabling additional upgrades to the workshop.
