Game Rant just released a step-by-step guide to unlocking the Outpost in ARC Raiders. This guide helps players customize their Outpost to increase storage for weapons from their inventory. It comes at a time when the shooter from Embark Studios is attracting 92,016 concurrent players on Steam.
In an extraction shooter, managing storage is crucial. Players need to carry gear into risky runs and must choose what to keep. A guide focused on expanding storage indicates that this is a common concern for both new and returning players. The headline promises to explain how to unlock the Outpost and customize it for extra weapon storage.
The source page we accessed only provided the guide’s metadata and summary, without any detailed walkthrough. We won’t be sharing the unlock steps or requirements here. For the exact process, players should head over to Game Rant’s guide directly.
Another Game Rant article discusses where to find Raider Logbooks, linking them to upgrades and Research Points. GamesRadar+ has also published a guide on defeating Bullies. Together, these three pieces highlight how the game’s progression and combat questions are driving steady guide coverage.
This coverage follows a series of major updates. Embark’s Update 2.0 received praise as the “best update ever,” with concurrent players exceeding 103K. The Frozen Trail event introduced Pendola Pass and offered free play until October 12. Following that, Patch 2.1 launched a PvE toggle beta in Update 1.000.064.
The game debuted on October 30, 2025, priced at $39.99 on Steam. Publisher Nexon has maintained a player count above 90,000 well into the game’s lifecycle, according to current statistics.

Community Pulse
The sentiment from our tracked signals leans negative, although the sample consists of only 10 signals. This contrasts with the 81% positive Steam score from over 256,000 reviews. One Steam reviewer expressed that the game is “absolutely Not worth the time,” claiming it “wants to be an extraction Shooter but Even winning feels Like a loss of time.” While this complaint targets the core gameplay loop rather than storage, it indicates some players are questioning the value of each run.
What To Watch
- PvE toggle beta feedback: Patch 2.1 introduced this mode in Update 1.000.064. Player reactions will reveal if it attracts a wider audience.
- Player count after 2.0: The game reached over 103K after Update 2.0 and currently holds at 92,016. Keep an eye on whether the next content drop changes that trend.
- Progression and storage changes: Ongoing interest in guides about the Outpost and Raider Logbooks may lead Embark to clarify or modify those systems.
