ARC Raiders Celeste Drawings Guide Fuels Post-Launch Hunt

GamesRadar+ has released a guide to locate Celeste’s childhood drawings in Arc Raiders. This adds to a steady flow of collectible and quest walkthroughs for Embark Studios’ extraction shooter. The guide comes as the game maintains 49,768 concurrent players on Steam, one year after its October 30, 2025 launch.

The source material for this story features just the GamesRadar+ headline and summary, not the complete guide. We won’t reproduce specific drawing locations here. Players on the hunt for these items should follow the GamesRadar+ walkthrough directly.

The headline reveals some interesting trends. When players seek guides for specific character-related objectives, it usually means they’ve moved past the main gameplay loop and are pursuing side content. At the same time, a YouTube walkthrough on how to solo loot the Emperor in Arc Raiders is making the rounds, indicating a similar interest in optimization guides.

This engagement aligns well with a game that has a large, active player base. ARC Raiders boasts an 81% positive rating across 257,490 Steam reviews, priced at $39.99. Earlier reports noted a spike to 78.9K players when the Pendola Pass short film was released, so the current count of 49,768 is significantly lower than that peak.

Embark continues to keep the content flowing. Earlier this month, Patch 2.1 (update 1.000.064) introduced a PvE toggle beta. Additionally, a short film and an outpost storage guide followed. Now, players have even more reasons to log in for exploration beyond just PvP extraction runs.

By The Numbers

Release date	October 30, 2025

Community Pulse

Community sentiment, tracked across 10 signals, leans positive, with the PvE toggle being a major factor. One Steam reviewer shared a positive experience, stating: “I got this game thinking it had a PvE toggle permanently now, but it is for a limited time. I hope it is made permanent because it is great.” This reviewer mentioned that PvP griefers had previously kept them away from the game.

What To Watch

• PvE toggle status: The beta is time-limited. Whether Embark makes it permanent will influence how players like the reviewer engage with exploration content.
• Concurrent player trends: Keep an eye on whether the current 49,768 players holds steady or increases after the next content drop. The 78.9K figure shows the impact of a major event.
• More collectible and lore hunts: Guides like the Celeste drawings walkthrough indicate players are connecting with narrative side content. More of this could offer Embark a cost-effective way to keep gameplay fresh between major patches.
