Here is how you can improve your looting and breaching speed in ARC Raiders to get through that quicker.

Can You Improve Looting Speed in Raid Raiders?

Each searchable object in ARC Raiders has a different initial animation that plays out when you “search” it. This can’t be sped up, whether you’re opening a suitcase or cupboards.

However, right after that, the items show up in the container menu a bit slowly. This part of searching can be sped up by investing points in the “Looter’s Instincts” skill in the Survival branch.

You can dump 5 points into this, making the “reveal” part go a bit faster than the default. This lets you see what’s in the container, so you can make quicker decisions about what to move to your inventory. You can also put points into the Silent Scavenger skill to reduce the noise you make while looting.

You can quickly move items to your entry by pressing Shift as well.

Can You Improve Breaching Speed in Raid Raiders?

Yes, breaching is one animation with a meter displayed, and it can be sped up in ARC Raiders if you put points into the Proficient Pryer skill in the Conditioning branch. This reduces the time required to breach both containers and doors, and you can put five points into it in total.

Compared to regular searching, breaching is pretty loud and can easily alert players around you if you aren’t careful. To reduce the overall noise it makes, you can put some points into Gentle Pressure as well. A combination of these skills will allow you to breach faster and quieter.

If you value looting above all else, it’s a good idea to put points into the skills mentioned above so you can gather, inspect, and move loot faster.
