ARC Raiders listings on eBay show that many players are reselling valuable in-game items, and the interesting part is that they seem to have plenty of buyers. Developed by Embark Studios, ARC Raiders is one of the most-played games of 2025 and recently won the Best Multiplayer Game award at The Game Awards. Part of its success is believed to come from its addictive looting mechanics, which push players to grind for better gear and resources, though not everyone appears willing to earn upgrades organically.
One of the most sought-after and hardest-to-find items in ARC Raiders is blueprints. There are over 70 of them, all available for free in random topside locations. However, drop rates have been so low for many players that they are still missing most blueprints, even after spending hundreds of hours looting boxes and crates. Seeing an opportunity, some players are now reselling their hard-earned blueprints online, effectively bringing real-world trading to Embark Studios' popular extraction shooter.
ARC Raiders is starting to reveal something unexpected about its players, and the results feel less like a shooter and more like a social experiment.
