ARC Raiders Friends We Made Along the Way

ARC Raiders The Friends We Made Along The Way requires returning together with an encountered Raider. Verified basic method: independent guides agree on sharing a completed return with someone outside your starting squad; current patches were reviewed.

Share a departure

Communicate with a willing Raider and use the same extraction. Stay through the actual departure and check the platform award after returning. Meeting near the exit and then using separate departures does not demonstrate that you returned together.

Hizzle suggests keeping the conversation simple and preserving an escape option. A friendly emote is communication, not a game mechanic preventing either player from attacking. Do not assume that any stranger will cooperate.

This differs from leaving a squadmate behind: the relationship to your starting squad is part of the requirement. UNSURE: every hatch edge case, exact shared-return boundaries and automatic award transfer across platforms. No guarantee about friendly matchmaking is made.

Online match required. Completion time and a numerical difficulty rating are UNSURE. No DLC condition is stated in the cited requirement; complete platform/missable/reset reconciliation remains open. Use the roadmap to group this with suitable runs. Hizzle checked sources without playing.
