Arpeggio

At 9.5 damage per shot, the Arpeggio strips a Light Shield in 8 shots and a Heavy Shield in 22. A full 24-round magazine covers even a Heavy Shield, so you can commit to the fight without a reload window.

Among the 5 assault rifles in ARC Raiders, the Arpeggio ranks 5th for DPS and 3rd for damage per shot. Its closest performance rivals are Kettle (255 DPS), Rattler (300 DPS) and Tempest (367 DPS).

The Arpeggio is a uncommon assault rifle in ARC Raiders, currently rated C-Tier tier in the current weapon meta (Frozen Trail 2.0 Update). With 9.5 damage per shot and a fire rate stat of 18.3, it puts out 174 DPS — placing it in a balanced damage bracket suitable for most fights. The 24-round magazine and 2.2s reload window mean you should be conscious of mag dumps but can usually finish a 1v1 before reloading.

Recoil sits at 28/100, which makes the Arpeggio manageable with short controlled bursts and a steady left hand. Effective range tops out around 55.9/100, so the Arpeggio excels in medium-range fights — open courtyards, Spaceport runways, and Buried City rooftops. It feeds on medium ammo (42.5% armor penetration), so it punches through Heavy shields and lets you contest armored Raiders directly.

For ARC Raiders players asking where to find the Arpeggio, the most reliable spawns are at Buried City weapon crates, Spaceport supply rooms, Blue Gate mid-tier loot areas. If RNG isn't on your side, you can also craft the Arpeggio at the Gunsmith (Level 2) using 2× Adv. Mechanical Components, 3× Medium Gun Parts, 5× Wires. No blueprint required, so you can craft it as soon as you unlock the workbench level.Best paired with shields and augments that complement its long-range scoped playstyle.
