ARC Raiders Steam Achievements: Part 3
Contents
This is part three of our ARC Raiders achievement breakdown — the middle of the list, covering conditions that a noticeable share of players met, but far from everyone. There are no near-automatic rewards for first steps here, and no rarest trophies either: the percentages in this batch range from 34.0% down to 19.6%.
The game has 50 Steam achievements in total. Below is a portion of them, grouped by theme, with the official condition text and what the statistics show.
Where to check your own progress on Steam
Steam shows achievements in two different places, and it’s easy to mix them up.
- Your personal progress. Open your Steam library, go to the ARC Raiders page — there’s an achievements panel there. Unlocked ones are highlighted, locked ones are greyed out but still show the condition text. The same list is mirrored on your Steam profile under the games section, and that’s the version other users see if your profile is public.
- Overall stats across all players. This is a separate game-stats page — the same one every percentage in this article comes from. Valve shows there what share of game owners have unlocked each achievement.
The difference matters: one is about you, the other is about everyone. When a player says “I’ve unlocked most of the achievements,” that’s their personal progress; when we write “34.0%,” that’s the share of players, not the share of the game.
If something looks missing from your list or the numbers seem out of date, Steam updates them on its own — there’s nothing to fix manually.
What the percentage actually tells you
The percentage isn’t a difficulty rating. It’s a measure of behaviour.
An achievement can be technically simple and still earned by few people, because players never enter the relevant mode or never reach the required level. The reverse also happens: a condition that sounds demanding can be common, because it completes itself during ordinary play.
So read the percentage as “how many people got there,” not as “how hard this is.”
| Achievement | Players | About |
|---|---|---|
| Heart of Gold | 34.0% | thanks from other players |
| Today You, Tomorrow Me | 31.3% | reviving another raider |
| Practice Makes Perfect | 27.9% | visiting the practice range |
| Dedicated to the Craft | 27.0% | station upgrades |
| Three Birds, One Stone | 21.2% | Wolfpack grenade |
| Legend of Speranza | 19.6% | level 75 |
Interacting with other players
The most common achievements in this group are the “social” ones. That checks out: they don’t require a dedicated detour just for the achievement — they happen naturally if you’re not playing purely for yourself.
Heart of Gold — 34.0%
Official condition: “Be thanked 10 times in direct response to something you did.” In short: someone needs to thank you 10 times, and specifically in response to something you did.
The key phrase is “in direct response.” This isn’t a raw tally of thanks over your whole playtime — it’s a reaction to a specific action of yours. Exactly how the game recognises that link, and what technically counts as a “thanks,” isn’t explained in the official description. Steam only gives the wording of the condition, and we won’t guess at the mechanics.
This is the highest percentage in this batch — the mid-rarity achievement players reach most often.
Today You, Tomorrow Me — 31.3%
Official condition: “Revive an encountered Raider with a Defibrillator.” You need to revive a raider you’ve encountered, using a defibrillator.
Note the word “encountered” — the description specifies a raider you ran into, not just anyone. Whether that specifically means a random player outside your squad isn’t clarified in the official text. We’re passing on what’s written, not filling in the condition ourselves.
There’s a separate guide on how team play works in general — co-op and squads.
Progression and base-building
The second group is about the long game. The percentages here are lower, which makes sense — meeting the condition just takes a lot of playtime.
Dedicated to the Craft — 27.0%
Official condition: “Have five stations upgraded to level 3 or higher.” The condition is having five stations upgraded to level 3 or above.
The phrase “or higher” matters here — it means a higher level still counts, so there’s no way to “overshoot” past the condition. Which specific stations qualify, and whether any are mandatory, isn’t listed in the official description.
The broader context of upgrades is covered in the progression and workshop guide.
Legend of Speranza — 19.6%
The official description is as short as it gets: “Reach level 75.”
The rarest achievement in this part of the list. There’s nothing to explain — the condition is unambiguous, and it’s purely a matter of time. Exactly how many hours that takes, the developer doesn’t say, and neither will we: any number here would be invented.
If you’re curious what sits below this in rarity, that’s the territory of the rarest achievements.
Combat and training
The third group covers specific actions in and out of combat.
Practice Makes Perfect — 27.9%
Official condition: “Visit the Practice Range.” You just need to visit the training area.
This is the simplest condition on the whole list — you literally just have to walk in. And yet not everyone has done it: this is roughly what it looks like when an achievement isn’t hard, just skipped. Plenty of players head straight into raids and never go near the practice range at all.
A good reason to check your own list — if you’re missing this one, it closes with a single action.
Three Birds, One Stone — 21.2%
Official condition: “Destroy 3 ARC enemies with a single Wolfpack grenade.” You need to destroy 3 ARC enemies with one Wolfpack grenade.
This is the only achievement in the batch that requires a coincidence of circumstances: you need the specific grenade, and you need the right number of enemies grouped together at the moment it goes off. What makes it harder still is that it has to happen on a single throw — you can’t spread it across several attempts.
Steam says nothing about how to actually herd enemies together, which part of the map makes it easier, or how many attempts it typically takes. The description only fixes the result that has to occur. What ARC machines are in general is covered in a separate article.
What we’re not claiming
To avoid any confusion:
- We don’t give step-by-step instructions. Where the official description doesn’t explain a method, we say so directly instead of inventing a route.
- We don’t state completion times. Not for level 75, not for station upgrades — the developer hasn’t published figures like that.
- We don’t cite coordinates, mission names, or locations that aren’t in the achievement’s official description.
- We don’t rely on fan wikis or video guides. The only sources for facts here are Steam’s stats page and the game’s official site, arcraiders.com.
- The percentages aren’t fixed. They shift as the number of game owners changes. The figures in this article are a snapshot, not a constant.
We’ve deliberately left the original English achievement names untranslated — that’s how they appear in the game and on Steam, and it’s easier to search for them that way.
In short
This is the middle band of ARC Raiders’ 50-achievement list: from Heart of Gold at 34.0% down to Legend of Speranza at 19.6%. The easiest one is Practice Makes Perfect, which just needs a visit to the practice range; the longest haul is reaching level 75.
