Arc Raiders lead admits putting together new loadouts is a pain when you want to just 'get in there and do stuff', says the game got a lot right but 'looking through a bunch of menus isn't necessarily it'

The chilled-out extraction shooter Arc Raiders was one of 2025's surprise hits, and for my money is a game that works because it gets so many small things right. The length of runs is perfect, there's the perfect amount of distractions to regularly pull you away from the best-laid plans, and the exhilaration of making it out never gets old. And yet… man, do I dislike my inventory.

It's slightly weird that a game that gets so much bang-on fumbles when it comes to inventory management and loadouts.
