Is Arc Raiders Down Right Now?
Last checked: — ArcStatus monitors Arc Raiders server status around the clock, pinging Embark Studios' servers every 60 seconds. The live status indicator at the top of this page shows whether Arc Raiders servers are online, experiencing degraded performance, or completely down. When we detect an issue, it appears instantly — no waiting for manual updates.
Our community report system adds a second layer of detection: players can flag issues like matchmaking failures, connection timeouts, and slow queues in real time. Reports are visualized in the graph above so you can see whether others are experiencing the same problems. Combined with automated checks, this gives ArcStatus the fastest outage detection of any Arc Raiders status tracker.
If you're getting connection errors, the most common is ARMR0002 (Breakout error) — a matchmaking handshake failure usually caused by DNS cache issues or DDoS mitigations. Our error fix guides cover step-by-step solutions for every known error code, including anti-cheat errors (ARAV), in-raid disconnects (AREX), and authentication failures (ARAU).
Matchmaking taking forever? Check our dedicated matchmaking status page for live updates and dev responses. For planned downtime, see the maintenance schedule. If you suspect the issue is on Steam's side, our Steam dependency tracker shows whether Tuesday maintenance or a Steam outage is affecting Arc Raiders.
ArcStatus also tracks all seven map rotations with live countdowns, monitors the Steam player count for early warning signs of server trouble, and logs every detected incident with timestamps and resolution times in the Service History section above.
