Discovering the Optimal Way to Carry Heavy Items in Arc Raiders
After extensive gameplay, a player learns a surprising method for carrying heavy items more efficiently in Arc Raiders.
In Arc Raiders, various actions like swapping weapons, reloading, and hauling items can consume a lot of time. The mechanics of transporting heavy crates to access loot from Field Depots are especially cumbersome, leaving players vulnerable as they can’t defend themselves while carrying.
After investing over 50 hours into the game, I’ve discovered a faster way to transport these cumbersome boxes—by running backwards! This unconventional method surprisingly speeds up the process of carrying items, a revelation that defies traditional expectations.
For instance, running backwards while handling a field crate or power cell allows for swifter movement compared to proceeding forward. Below is a video showcasing this technique:

Key Takeaways:
- You can sprint backwards by holding the run button, similar to forward movement.
- Maxing out your stamina with the proper skills can also boost efficiency when carrying heavy items.
- While this approach may not offer the best visibility, it reduces the time spent exposed while holding a heavy box.
