College Football 25: How Does Player Progression Works?

When exploring in ARC Raiders, have you often experienced being blocked by locked doors when you want to enter a room full of loot? In this case, you will need the corresponding key to enter. However, their role goes far beyond that.

When you are being chased by enemies in some PvP or PvE battles, you can enter a room and lock it with a key. This will effectively protect you from threats and allow you to leave Topside safely. Normally, the keys won’t be found near the door you need to open, so you need to prepare them in advance before entering the raid.

This is where the guide to the location and acquisition methods of all keys in Arc Raiders comes in handy. With it, you can pinpoint exactly where you want to go and be fearless of any locked door.

Key Spawn Locations In Each Map

While Keys, like Access Cards, are randomly generated items in ARC Raiders, they do spawn in certain locations, such as Commercial, Security, or Residential Points of Interest (POIs), especially at night and during Electromagnetic Storms, as these times increase the amount of loot contained in buildings on the map.

Based on these patterns, the keys are very likely to appear in the following locations on these maps:

• Dam Battlegrounds: In the drawers of the rooms and kitchen in Pattern House, Ruby Residence, and Pale Appartments. Keys may also be found on the desks of security POIs such as Control Tower.
• Blue Gate: Containers in buildings and houses within Village Area are very likely to contain keys.
• Buried City: Containers in hospitals and space travel buildings may contain keys.

In addition, calling Supply Drops may also allow you to find the key, but be aware that this will expose you to other enemies, so be careful to avoid them. In addition, these keys are global loot, which means that any player on the map can pick them up, so get to the designated location as soon as possible and collect the keys to gain an advantage.

Specific Key Categories

Next comes the main attraction of this guide: the spawn locations of each key in ARC Raiders and the specific locations where they are used. This will save you a lot of time and effort in wandering around the map.

Dam Surveillance Key

This key can unlock Water Treatment Control Building in Dam Battlegrounds. You can enter from the south entrance, walk straight, turn right when you pass the reception desk, then immediately turn right again, and walk a little further to find the building.

Dam Staff Room Key

This key can open the side door of Enelica Dam Administration Department in Research and Administration Building in Dam Battlegrounds. You can find the door by walking straight from the entrance and turning right.

Dam Control Center Tower Key

You need to go into Control Tower Building and walk to the side near Research and Administration Building. There, find the side entrance facing Red Lakes Balcony. Aim upwards and dismantle the turret, then use the zipline to climb and turn right to find the locked door.

Dam Testing Annex Key

This requires you to enter Testing Annex Building in Dam Battlegrounds, remembering to choose the west entrance. Then head towards the back of the machinery room and look to the right corner; you’ll see the entrance to a corridor. There are two doors here that players can open with it.

Buried City Town Hall Key

It is used to open Main Entrance of Town Hall in Buried City. You can use it by finding the front side of the building and a wooden door under the arched ceiling.

Buried City Residential Master Key

In Grandioso Apartments in Buried City, there is a locked wooden door that you need to open. However, you will need to enter the building beforehand through a broken window on the southeast side.

Buried City JKV Employee Access Card

The key corresponds to a locked door located in KVL building, which is situated in the very center of Buried City Map. Go up to the 4th floor and turn right to find the door.

Buried City Hospital Key

Obviously, the key is for the door in Hospital in Buried City, which is on the third floor. You need to go down the stairs and turn left until you see a long corridor. Keep walking straight until you find a door that can be opened with the key.

Blue Gate Communication Tower Key

At this point, you need to turn towards Pilgrim’s Peak in Blue Gate. After climbing the stairs on the south side of Point of Interest (POI), enter the lobby, go straight past the reception desk, and then open the door leading to the darkroom. Turn right and walk straight until you see the locked door.

Blue Gate Confiscation Room Key

This applies to Reinforced Reception area. After entering the building, locate the elevator shaft and use the zipline to descend. Turn left and follow the yellow arrow on your right. Go down the stairs and continue following the yellow markers on the wall to find the locked door on your right.

Blue Gate Cellar Key

At this point, you need to go to Trapper’s Glade zone and find Raider’s Refuge with Red Flag. Then turn right and face downhill. You will see an abandoned building and a cellar door containing lots of loot to collect.

Blue Gate Village Key

Similarly, you’ll need to locate the main house complex within the Village area; it’s the largest building on the west side of POI. Next, look for the building facing the hillside; you can identify the main entrance by the blue trash cans next to it.

Patrol Car Key

This door might take you a while to find; it’s located near Checkpoint POI. You’ll need to find the underground parking lot with large military vehicles, then walk to the back of one car, use the key to open the trunk, and you’ll receive a very valuable reward.

Stella Montis Assembly Admin Key

It is used in Assembly Area on the west side of Stella Montis. Climb the path on the right overlooking the assembly line to the slope at the back of the area. Follow the right wall to the end and turn right. You will see a locked door. Open it to enter a control room containing loot.

Stella Montis Archives Key

Still on Stella Montis map, head east through Eastern Tunnel into the special zone, then head north, climb to the upper level of Archives, and continue until you reach the northeast side. Be careful to avoid ARC enemies guarding this area. Follow the right wall to find the locked door.

Stella Montis Security Checkpoint Key

Now you need to go to the lobby area of Northern Train Station extraction point. Find a table next to it, and there’s a door with bars next to it. There’s a sign on the wall that says Security: Restricted Area, but ignore it. Break through the door, turn right, go across the table, and walk along the right side into another room. The door is right in front of you in that room.

Raider Hatch Key

This key can open any Raider Hatch doors scattered across the map; you can view their exact locations in the map menu. Then, use the control panel next to the hatch to open it and safely evacuate.

Spaceport Trench Tower Key

In Spaceport, ascend North Trench Tower and climb the blue stairs, then use the key to open the locked door.

Spaceport Container Storage Key

It’s used in Spaceport Container Storage area within Spaceport. Climb the stairs to the upper level of this garage-like area, then continue climbing the corridors and stairs to reach the top floor of the building. There’s a door in the right corner that can be opened with this key.

Spaceport Ground Control Key

Still in Spaceport, head to Ground Control Tower A6 building. Once inside, you’ll see a locked door. Open it to use the zipline to climb to the top floor and retrieve your loot.

Spaceport Outskirts Bunker Key

This will require you to go to the lower left corner of Departures Building in Spaceport. You will then be at the edge of the map, near the Fuel Processing landmark. Look for a bunker door located on a small slope.

Spaceport Warehouse Key

Climb the metal stairs in Shipping Warehouse area and go through the corridor to find the locked door.

The above provides a detailed overview of the spawn locations and usage of all keys in ARC Raiders. Preparation is key to success, so it’s crucial to reiterate that entering a raid only after you have the corresponding key is the wisest choice. Hopefully, this guide will help you find the keys and match the corresponding doors more easily. Enjoy the game!

Once Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 officially went live, its long-awaited Zombies mode quickly reclaimed the spotlight, sparking renewed excitement and conversation across the player community.

This storyline takes players directly to the heart of Dark Aether, where Requiem Crew and new members of the original squad will embark on a cross-dimensional journey of redemption, aiming to retrieve the soul fragments stolen by a mysterious force at the beginning of Ashes of the Damned season.

The official announcement confirms that the game will continue with six seasons of updates, releasing multiple new maps and a wealth of Easter Egg Quests, promising a feast for Zombies mode fans.

On your journey deeper into Dark Aether, you will encounter enemies with diverse forms and abilities. For players seeking full achievements and a deep experience, Elite Zombies and Special Zombies are undoubtedly key objectives for unlocking rare camouflage patterns, Calling Cards, and challenging achievements.

Below is a complete guide and strategies for Elite Zombies and Special Zombies confirmed by EZG.com, providing tactical guidance for your survival journey.

All Elite Zombies

1. Zursa

As the first elite threat you encounter on your journey in Dark Aether, Zursa, with its intimidating appearance and attack methods, has become a nightmare for many new players.

It only appears in Ashes of the Damned map, and both the main storyline and specific points of interest in Survival Mode can become its hunting grounds.

From turn 16 onwards, Zursa will naturally spawn on the battlefield and is also a regular member of the main storyline boss fight. However, adventurous players may encounter it earlier; you can trigger this encounter by completing Skulls step in Zaya Cosmodrome Main Easter Egg Quest.

When facing this enemy, equipping Napalm Burst is of paramount importance, as it is key to breaking through its defenses. In actual combat, you need to concentrate your firepower on its multiple glowing weak points to inflict considerable critical damage.

Remember to keep a safe distance from it to avoid its rapid, continuous attacks. Also, when it summons a large number of zombie minions, be sure to clear them out quickly before they surround you.

Furthermore, Psych Grenade is also a powerful weapon against it. It not only temporarily makes it fight for you, but also deals significant damage when the effect ends, making it an effective strategy for a quick kill.

2. Uber Klaus

Uber Klaus is a powerful elite enemy that appears in a specific mission. Players will only encounter it directly during Necrofluid Gauntlet Quest.

The specific trigger condition is: after reaching the 8th round of the game, open the door of Ashwood Sheriff’s Office, then return to Janus Towers Plaza and go to its western corner. Uber Klaus will then emerge from the ground, bringing a very imposing boss battle.

It exhibits weaknesses against both Napalm Burst and Cryo Freeze Ammo Mods. To defeat it,you first need to precisely destroy the two glowing points on its shoulders; destroying them will break its shield.

Once the shield is broken, its vulnerable core will be exposed, providing the perfect opportunity to unleash all your firepower.

Throughout the battle, mobility is crucial for survival. You must skillfully dodge its heavy punches, long-range artillery fire, and triple-shot barrages that leave persistent damage zones on the battlefield.

Be especially wary of its leaping ability; it can close the distance instantly and disrupt your positioning.

All Special Zombies

1. Uber Klaus Core

The battle doesn't end after Uber Klaus's main mech is destroyed. Its Core will eject from the rubble, continuing to fight as a separate, offensive special unit.

Although categorized as a Special Zombie, it is essentially part of Uber Klaus and therefore inherits the same Ammo Mod weakness: extreme sensitivity to Napalm Burst and Cryo Freeze.

This Core has significantly less health than its full form, but is more mobile and retains the ability to fire area-of-effect projectiles.

Therefore, the most effective way to deal with it is to continuously attack its core torso, which usually eliminates it quickly. The key is to keep moving and avoid its final counterattack to safely end the battle.

2. Doppelghast

Doppelghasts are elusive Special Enemies, currently primarily active in Relic Trials of Cursed Mode. They also appear in Vandorn Farm Survival map and after round 40 in Cursed Mode.

This enemy has a known fatal weakness – Light Mend, but it should be noted that this Ammo Mod will not be officially implemented until the first season update.

To deal with Doppelghasts, accurate headshots are the only way to inflict effective damage. They are known for their extremely high movement speed and will relentlessly pursue you. Upon closing in, they will unleash a melee attack or a ranged attack that slows the player's movement speed.

Even more alarming is that even after they are defeated, their debris will explode shortly, causing an area-of-effect slowing effect on nearby players – a true death trap.

3. Shock Mimic

Shock Mimic returns in BO7 from BO6, but its activity is now limited to Cursed mode.

You can encounter them in Relic Trials of this mode, especially in trials related to Lawyer's Pen Relic, where their spawn rate increases significantly.

Another trigger is that after successfully unlocking Lawyer's Pen Relic, actively activating Relic in any map of Cursed mode will also attract Shock Mimic.

This monster's weakness is Brain Rot Ammo Mod; its sole vulnerability lies within its gigantic, eerily glowing maw.

To quickly defeat it, precise shooting into its mouth is essential. Maintaining distance is crucial in combat, as it possesses a highly dangerous combo attack.

First, it unleashes a pulling energy that forcibly pulls the player towards it, followed by a rapid melee attack. This is followed by a shockwave that knocks the player back and inflicts secondary damage. Being pulled close makes the player highly vulnerable to its combo attacks, resulting in significant health loss.

With subsequent updates to Season 1 and beyond, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies mode will introduce even more unique enemies and mechanic innovations.

For players eager for a challenge, this guide to Elite Zombies and Special Zombies is just the first step in uncovering the truth of Dark Aether. Many more hidden threats await your discovery!

Unlike typical shooting games that directly provide you with shooting weapons, in ARC Raiders you need to find the blueprints required to craft each weapon, and then follow the hints to find the specific crafting materials to complete the weapon acquisition. In short, blueprints in the game are loot, just like materials such as Chemicals and Ion Sputter. 

They are found in containers at each map’s loot points in Arc Raiders, but the spawn rate is unpredictable. Generally speaking, it takes about 10-20 minutes to farm a blueprint, and this is in the case of multiplayer games; it takes even longer in single-player games.

Therefore, you might really need Arc Raiders Solo Farming Blueprint Guide provided here by EZG.com, which includes the best loadout, location selection, and raiding strategies for this mission. If you’re lucky enough, you can complete this objective in 5 minutes.

1. Loadout

First, let’s look at the loadout, which is crucial for supporting your solo farming blueprint journey. Theoretically, Arc Raiders items you carry should be one level higher than the raid level you enter, as you need to be more powerful than the robot or PvP enemies within.

This principle is correct, but the risks involved are extremely high: if you die inside, you will lose all the loadouts you are carrying. Of course, you can protect them by adding a Safe Pocket, but it is recommended to only store the blueprints or high-value gear you need in it.

Since your purpose on this trip is to farm blueprints, your primary combat style will be avoidance rather than aggressive attacks. Therefore, it’s only recommended that you bring Light Shield as your defensive gear. Also, don’t forget to bring plenty of basic healing items, such as Adrenaline Shot and Herbal Bandage.

For portable weapons, shotguns are recommended as they perform exceptionally well in close-quarters PvP combat. If you don’t have suitable weapon options, you can carry a level 1 Stitcher and some light ammunition, which will also help you fight some PvP enemies.

2. Location

Many players think that the initial Dam Battlegrounds is the best map for farming blueprints, but that’s not the case. Blue Gate, located to its right, is your best option. Be sure to choose normal mode, otherwise you’re very likely to die there.

If you are randomly assigned to spawn in the south when you enter this map, please restart, because the loot spot we are going to is Reinforced Reception, which is located at the northernmost part of the entire map, and crossing the entire map takes too much time.

Once you have a respawn point close to the location, you can officially start collecting blueprints on this map.

3. Looting Strategies

Upon arriving at Reinforced Reception, enter through the main entrance and head straight for the elevator. Some players have reported encountering explosives and Turrets during this process, while others have stated they’ve never encountered them. While the probability of these enemies appearing is unpredictable, it’s always better to be cautious.

After descending to the next floor using the elevator, use your mini-map to locate the room containing the blueprint. Don’t rush to explore other areas, as this could lead to encounters with other PvP players and potential conflicts, especially at night or during events like Electromagnetic Storm.

As instructed, you will enter the armory, interact with the container in the room, and wait. Based on player feedback in the community, the container is most likely to contain high-value Arc Raiders in-game items such as Osprey, Combat Mk.3 (Flanking), and Showstopper. Of course, it will also contain the blueprints you need.

At this point, the blueprint acquisition mission is complete, and you can safely evacuate with your valuable loot. The most recommended stealthy escape route is to walk along the corridor in front of the battery room. This will allow you to effectively avoid Rocketeer and includes numerous containers you can interact with to obtain even more loot rewards.

However, if you’re not content with these few significant rewards, then follow the guide below to solve two more puzzles located in this area. They will reward you with more blueprints, Epic guns, Epic parts, and more. Be warned, the challenges below are more difficult, so please pay close attention to the level of risk you face.

4. Puzzles

The first puzzle is located on an interactive screen on the first basement level. It’s initially white, but will turn colorful after a short wait. Then, follow the color indicators on the map to find the corresponding interaction points.

The second puzzle complements the first. When you reach the designated location, low-level Arc enemies such as rollers will appear. After shooting them, you can find the crafting materials or other items you need from their drops.

Finally, don’t forget to go to the armory one last time. There, you might find other real players doing the same blueprint farming mission as you. Find a hidden spot, shoot them, and then loot the spoils. That will complete your entire process.

These are the best strategies for blueprint farming in ARC Raiders solo. While they may not offer the thrill of competitive gameplay, they’re probably the safest farming method currently available. If you want to eliminate whoever you encounter, just make sure your defense and offense are strong enough. Good luck with your game!

Genshin Impact version 6.2 Luna III will officially launch on December 3rd. This version continues to expand the game's character storylines and develop vivid character portrayals.

Besides quests, version 6.2 plans to introduce a series of playable characters, weapons, and more. The highly anticipated Druin will also appear in this version.

This article will introduce Druin's core mechanics, optimal equipment choices, and best team compositions, helping you fully unleash his potential in Genshin Impact version 6.2 Luna III.

Core Mechanics

Druin breaks away from the established patterns of recent DPS characters, injecting new vitality into non-mainstream characters and team compositions. He is a 5-star Pyro one-handed sword character in a youth form, positioned as a multi-functional off-field sub-DPS and support character.

Druin's unique dual-mode DPS design allows him to adapt to different team compositions and DPS environments. His gameplay revolves around the two modes provided by his Elemental Skill. Both modes deal Pyro damage and accumulate energy for unleashing Elemental Burst.

Confirmation Of Purity

During Genshin Impact battle, if Druin triggers Elemental Skill twice consecutively, he can directly enter Confirmation of Purity state, also known as White Mode. This state is suitable for dealing damage to groups of enemies and assisting other characters on the team to output higher damage.

In White Mode, when party members trigger Pyro-related reactions such as Burning, Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, or Pyro Crystallize, he reduces enemy resistance to Pyro and the other element of the reaction by 20%. This effect lasts for 6 seconds, helping players defeat enemies faster.

Denial Of Darkness

Triggering an Elemental Skill first, followed by a normal attack, will enter Denial of Darkness state, also known as Black Mode. This state is suitable for Druin to perform single-target burst damage and reaction amplification.

In Black Mode, Druin's Vaporize and Melt reactions deal 40% more damage.

Furthermore, he has a passive skill that increases his damage based on his attack power. However, you don't need to worry about insufficient attack power to deal high damage, as Druin's base attack power is already very high, making this condition easily achievable.

Best Weapon

In Genshin Impact, almost every character's best weapon is their signature weapon, and Druin is no exception. Athame Artis, released alongside Druin in Genshin Impact version 6.2 Luna III, is a five-star one-handed sword. Its stats and the bonuses it provides make it the best weapon choice.

According to leaked information, Athame Artis, at max level, boasts a whopping 608 Attack, which can help trigger Druin's passive skill, further increasing his damage output.

Meanwhile, 33.1% Crit Rate and 16% Burst Crit Damage comprehensively enhance Druin's destructive power in the game.

More notably, this weapon is Druin's signature weapon because it increases Attack by 20%. Other characters using this weapon only receive a 16% damage increase.

However, it's important to note that both Druin and his signature weapon, Athame Artis, can only be obtained through Wish Banner gacha after the release of version 6.2 Luna III.

Obtaining both simultaneously is not easy and will require a significant amount of Genesis Crystal. If necessary, you might consider Genshin Impact Top Up feature to help you achieve this.

Besides the signature weapon, here are some other weapons of different star ratings suitable for Druin:

• Freedom Sworn. This weapon boasts a Base ATK of 608 at max level and 198 with Elemental Mastery, making it ideal for Druin in Black Mode.
• Wolf-Fang. With a Base ATK of 510 and a CRIT Rate of 25.1%, it's a remarkably wonderful weapon.
• Moonweaver's Dawn. New players can try this weapon to get through the early game. At max level, its Base ATK reaches 565, and its ATK increases by 27.6%, which is sufficient for the current stage.

Artifacts

Druin's ideal artifact attribute allocation is very simple and easy to understand:

• Sands of Eon: Attack
• Goblet of Eonthem: Pyro
• Circlet of Logos: Critical

Overall, the most suitable Artifact Set currently is Noblesse Oblige 4-Piece, provided that no other character in Druin's party is using this set.

Alternatively, Emblem of Severed Fate 4-Piece can be used as an alternative, or a suitable Noblesse Oblige 2-Piece combined with Crimson Witch of Flames 2-Piece can be used to create a Druin build.

However, currently, no Artifacts Set can fully utilize Druin's abilities. New Artifacts may be introduced in versions after Genshin Impact, giving him more useful bonuses.

Team Compositions

Druin's high synergy allows him to be paired with many characters, creating a variety of amazing synergies. Here are some of the most recommended team compositions; you can also explore other character pairings.

Hexenzirkel Synergy Team

Druin gains additional bonuses when there are two Hexenzirkel members in Genshin Impact. When Mona and Druin are on the same team, their skill output is enhanced. Different Constellations of Mona can provide different support to the entire team, while Druin acts as the main DPS, responsible for dealing damage.

This team can also be further enhanced with Xilonen to provide healing and buffs to the entire team. The last position can be flexibly changed, with Albedo, Yelan, Furina, and Ineffa all being worth trying.

Druin On-field Team

This team can be paired with Furina, Mona, and Bennett. However, note that Bennett only converts his normal attacks into fire attacks when he reaches C6.

Overloaded Reaction Team

Razor will become a Hexerei character after completing Witch's Homework: Of the Little Wolf Pack quest in version 6.2 Luna III. His Elemental Burst, Lightning Fang, has also been enhanced, and the summoned Wolf Within will have its attack power increased to 70% of Razor's.

Druin, paired with Razor and Fischl can trigger an Overloaded reaction, creating even more damage. Chevreuse can be chosen for the last slot.

Druin's high versatility makes him an almost must-pull character in Genshin Impact version 6.2 Luna III. He not only brings some previously unpopular characters back into players' consideration lists but also supports a wide variety of team compositions.

Whether you enjoy the new experience brought by Hexerei Character or want to experiment with more diverse team compositions, Druin can lay the foundation for building such teams in Genshin Impact.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 now officially released, players are once again plunging into intense multiplayer action and the fast-paced chaos of Zombies mode as they begin a brand-new leveling push.

Similar to previous years, after reaching the maximum character level, players can choose to reset their level to upgrade their reputation and thus obtain various exclusive rewards.

Weapon Prestige mechanic, introduced in BO7, provides players with the opportunity to unlock rare camouflage patterns and attachments by resetting weapon levels, making it an indispensable advancement path in multiplayer mode.

In this article, you’ll find a thorough examination of Weapon Prestige system in CoD BO7, along with the methods for upgrading weapons, acquiring camo, and obtaining attachments, all aimed at helping you optimize your weapon progression.

How To Increase Weapon Prestige Level?

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, wielding a fully equipped weapon with an adorable Prestige Camouflage will make you the center of attention. Therefore, the first thing you need to understand is the basic process of increasing your Weapon Prestige level.

First, you need to upgrade your target weapon to the highest level for its current stage. This can be done by participating in various game contents such as CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies, multiplayer, or Zombies mode, each of which provides a significant amount of experience points for the weapon.

Once the weapon reaches its maximum level, you can enter the equipment configuration interface. Hover your cursor over the weapon; a clear prompt will appear. Then, simply press the designated button to perform the reputation upgrade.

It's crucial to note that Weapon Prestige upgrades are irreversible. Once confirmed, all weapon levels will be reset to zero, and all accessories requiring a certain level to unlock will be relocked.

Therefore, before making a decision, it's recommended that you carefully consider your current game progress and personal needs. Notably, the game thoughtfully provides a weapon level preview function, allowing you to view the exclusive rewards available at each reputation level before upgrading, helping you make a more informed choice.

To speed up this process, you can effectively utilize Double XP Tokens. These tokens, obtainable through season rewards, Battle Pass, or specific events, can significantly increase weapon experience gain efficiency for a limited time. In addition, participating in the game's weekend special events is also an excellent opportunity to quickly level up your weapons.

Prestige Camouflage

One of the core rewards of Weapon Prestige system is six unique Prestige Camouflages. These camouflages are divided into two main categories: general and weapon-specific. Each represents an important milestone in a player's weapon mastery journey.

Weapon Prestige 1 Camo, as an entry-level reward, is obtained simply by leveling up your weapon to the maximum level for the first time and completing your first reputation upgrade. While relatively simple, this camouflage already demonstrates the player's level of commitment.

Weapon Prestige 2 Camo requires you to repeat the upgrade process, leveling up your weapon to the maximum level a second time and entering Reputation Level 2. This camouflage is usually more refined in design and features a more striking color scheme.

Weapon Prestige Master Camo series is the real highlight. After leveling up your weapon to the maximum level for the third time, the weapon will enter Master Prestige, at which point the level cap is raised to 250, and there is no need to reset the level again.

Weapon Prestige Master Camo 1 is obtained upon entering Master Prestige stage, while Prestige Master Camo 2 and Prestige Master Camo 3 require players to upgrade their weapons to level 150 and 200 respectively.

Weapon Prestige Max Camo, a symbol of the highest honor, requires upgrading your weapon to Max Prestige Master Weapon Level - 250. This camouflage typically features extremely flashy special effects, serving as the ultimate testament to skill and dedication.

Since the upgrade difficulty varies for different weapon types, it is recommended that you prioritize weapons you are proficient with to begin your reputation journey. Additionally, making good use of in-game experience bonus periods can significantly accelerate this challenging process.

Other Useful Rewards

Besides the cool new camouflages, Weapon Prestige system offers the following two useful rewards:

1. Prestige Attachments

Each weapon unlocks its own Prestige Attachments upon reaching Prestige 1. Players can view these attachments in the equipment configuration interface through the options marked Blue Diamond and Blue Text in the attachment slots.

These attachments are uniquely designed, and some offer significant benefits to specific weapon configurations. It's recommended to review them before upgrading to determine if it's worth the investment.

2. Permanent Attachment Tokens

Additionally, in CoD BO7, you will receive one Permanent Attachment Token each time you upgrade a Weapon Prestige.

This token can be used to permanently unlock any attachment for that weapon, and it will remain available even if the weapon level is reset.

Since each weapon can only receive a maximum of two tokens, one from Prestige 1 and one from Prestige 2, it's recommended to prioritize using them on higher-level or critical attachments to optimize weapon configuration efficiency.

If you are a hardcore player who enjoys weapon customization, pursues unique appearances, or aims for a complete collection, then investing in Weapon Prestige system is definitely a worthwhile choice.

By combining Double XP Tokens, special weekend modes, and a well-planned playtime schedule, you'll be able to complete this challenging yet rewarding game content more efficiently.

Ready for a new round of gunplay practice? Pick up your favorite weapon, begin your reputation journey, and forge your legend on the battlefields of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7!

In the shooter game ARC Raiders, weapons are crucial for successful exploration. Players often tend to choose rarer weapons, but this might be a misconception, as this criterion doesn’t accurately reflect a weapon’s power.

Even in the regular arsenal, there are many weapon options that can give you huge surprises. Don’t believe it? Then, find out why in this Arc Raiders weapon tier guide. However, it should be noted that the sorting here is based on the latest existing patch, which may change slightly in subsequent patch releases.

S-Tier

First, let me introduce the weapons that can be put into S-Tier list, including Ferro, Anvil, Tempest, and Bettina. They are basically compatible with all PvE and PvP loadouts and provide an absolute advantage in your battles.

Ferro

If we had to choose a king among Arc Raiders’ weapons, Ferro would undoubtedly be the top contender. This incredibly powerful rifle can easily penetrate ARC plating, and if you aim accurately enough, a single bullet can easily kill an enemy.

Besides its extremely high damage output, the ease of crafting Ferro is also a major reason many players choose it: it only requires 5 Metal Parts and 2 Rubber Parts to complete, and these ARC Raiders items can be found everywhere on all maps.

Anvil

Next up is Anvil, whose damage output is very similar to Ferro’s. However, it is recommended to focus on using it to kill enemies at close range, as its melee burst damage is very strong and its aiming requirements are not as high.

The materials needed to craft this weapon are also very easy to obtain: 5 Mechanical Components and 6 Simple Gun Parts. However, please note that finding the blueprint for crafting Anvil is a significant challenge, as its drop rate is low, and you may need to farm multiple times to obtain it.

Tempest

This fully automatic assault rifle is a favorite among many players who enjoy offensive and high-explosive gameplay, as its strong stability and extremely high rate of fire make it easy to penetrate the armor of low- to medium-level enemies and even kill them.

As always, due to the rarity of the blueprints and the crafting requirements, it may take a lot of time and effort to find the crafting blueprint, a Magnetic Accelerator, 3 Medium Gun Parts, and 2 Exodus Modules, but trust me, it’s well worth it.

Bettina

Many players may not understand how Bettina, with its relatively low rate of fire, was selected as an S-tier weapon in the midst of intense and exciting battles. This is mainly because its extremely high damage output completely compensates for this shortcoming.

Furthermore, its stability is also very good. So if you spend some time finding 3 Advanced Mechanical Components, 3 Heavy Gun Parts, and 3 Canisters and farming its blueprint multiple times, the final combat effects will definitely impress you.

A-Tier

The weapon options listed here, while slightly inferior to S tier weapons, are sufficient for medium to high difficulty combat challenges. In addition, some weapons differ slightly in their combat focus; for example, some are geared towards PvE, while others are geared towards PvP.

Equalizer & Hullcracker

Due to the large number of options in A-Tier list, some weapons with similar effects will be introduced here. For example, Equalizer and Hullcracker pair is only suitable for PvE to eliminate Arc enemies. They can deal devastating damage based on the predictability of the robot’s attacks, but this is ineffective in PvP.

Compared to the previous weapons, the blueprints and materials required to craft these two are very easy to find: Equalizer requires a Queen Reactor, 3 Magnetic Accelerators, and 3 Complex Gun Parts; while Hullcracker requires a Magnetic Accelerator, an Exodus Module, and 3 Heavy Gun Parts.

Osprey & Jupiter

The biggest drawback of these two long-range sniper rifles in combat are their excessive weight and inability to provide an effective advantage in close-quarters combat. However, this weakness is not insurmountable; it can be overcome by equipping yourself with ARC Raiders Items that increase movement and attack speed.

As for the materials used to craft them, Osprey is relatively easier to find, but some are still quite rare: 2 Advanced Mechanical Components, 3 Medium Gun Parts, and 7 Wires. Jupiter, on the other hand, requires 3 Magnetic Accelerators, 3 Complex Gun Parts, and a Queen Reactor.

Bobcat & Renegade

If you enjoy close-quarters combat, you might want to try Bobcat and Renegade, but both have some drawbacks: Bobcat is less stable, so you may need to find a higher-level stabilization attachment for it; Renegade has a long reload time, which may cause you to take damage during the reload process.

However, they have another advantage: the materials for crafting and upgrading are very easy to obtain, which can significantly increase their damage output. Bobcat requires a Magnetic Accelerator, 3 Light Gun Parts, and 2 Exodus Modules to craft; while Renegade requires 2 Advanced Mechanical Components, 3 Medium Gun Parts, and 5 Oil.

Kettle

Finally, in Tier A, my favorite is Kettle, not only because it’s one of your starting weapons in ARC Raiders, but also because its performance in both PvE and PvP is equally impressive, making it a truly versatile weapon option. Moreover, it only requires 6 metal parts and 8 rubber parts to complete.

However, it’s worth noting that Kettle’s damage output isn’t very high. It’s very effective for killing low-level enemies to farm experience and coins, but it struggles against Arc robots like Rocketeers or squads of three or more. Therefore, use it on maps where enemies are sparse as much as possible.

These are S and A tier weapon options worth trying in ARC Raiders right now. Of course, this doesn’t mean that other weapons not on this list are entirely bad, just that they might not be suitable at the moment. It would be great to see the entire tier list reshuffled after each in-game patch; it definitely creates even more build combinations.
