Both exist. Squads share info and rez potential; solo is quieter if you play it that way.

Is it extraction like Tarkov?

Same genre, different tone. Embark is more readable and less inventory-spreadsheet — still lose-on-death.

ARC Raiders Wiki

Loot topside, extract to Speranza, and don't greed the last crate

The loop

ARC Raiders is Embark's PvPvE extraction adventure: you leave the underground city of Speranza, scavenge a machine-haunted surface, and only keep what you extract with.

Craft a kit, drop topside, loot a route, fight ARC or other raiders if you must, then extract before the raid timer or your greed ends the run.

First moves

1.Run cheap kits until you can extract on command. Legendary loot on a dead body is a donation.
2.Learn one map's extracts and a quiet loot path before you contest hot POIs.
3.Play trios if you can. Solo is a different risk budget.
4.Bank materials in Speranza. Re-queueing with the whole stash equipped is how one bad raid resets the evening.
