Arc Raiders is a game that mixes cooperative missions, tactical combat, and resource management. Many new players often have questions about how the game mechanics work, how to use specific tools, and what strategies are effective in practice. This guide explains some of these key points based on common player experiences.

How Does the Jolt Mine Work?

One of the tools most players use in Arc Raiders is the Jolt Mine. The mine is triggered by proximity, which means it activates when enemies get close. Once triggered, it stuns anything within its radius, giving your team a chance to regroup or attack.

In practice, the Jolt Mine has different cooldowns depending on whether you are playing as a Raider or as the ARC. For Raiders, the cooldown is about 4 seconds, allowing for quick redeployment in combat. For ARC units, the cooldown is longer, around 10 seconds, so timing becomes more important. Most players place Jolt Mines in choke points or near objectives to slow enemy advances.

How Far Can You Place the Jolt Mine?

The effective deployment range of a Jolt Mine is usually around 5 meters. This is close enough to cover tight spaces but requires careful placement in open areas. In general, placing it too far from where enemies will walk makes it ineffective, so most players try to predict enemy paths rather than simply dropping it randomly.

Cost and Crafting Requirements

If you are playing in a mode where resources matter, you need to know how much a Jolt Mine costs and what materials are required to craft it:

Cost: $850 in standard play. For higher-level crafting (like Apollo level), it can reach $1920.

Crafting requirements: Typically, you need 1x Electrical Component and 1x Battery. Some stations, such as the Explosives Station, are used for crafting or upgrading these mines.

Most players find that having multiple mines ready is crucial for missions with high enemy density. It's usually better to craft in advance rather than rely on picking up items during missions.

Practical Placement Tips

In practice, the best use of Jolt Mines is not just scattering them everywhere. Experienced players usually follow these principles:

Cover your team’s flanks: Placing mines on the sides or behind defensive lines helps prevent enemies from sneaking past.

Objective defense: Mines near mission objectives or supply points can delay enemy progress.

Combo with other tools: Combining a Jolt Mine with slowing traps or area damage weapons can maximize effectiveness.

Most players also tend to replace or refresh mines frequently because enemies can destroy them. Observing the cooldown timers is key to maintaining control of the battlefield.

Timing and Coordination

Because the Jolt Mine stuns enemies, timing is critical. In general, you want to deploy mines just before enemies reach a critical point, rather than as a preemptive measure. Coordinating with teammates to follow up on a mine’s stun effect usually leads to more kills and less risk to the team.

Many groups develop simple signals or callouts in missions to indicate when a mine has been triggered. This is especially useful in higher-level missions where ARC enemies are faster and more aggressive.

Selling and Resource Management

Some players focus on managing their in-game currency and inventory. It’s worth noting that you can sell ARC Raiders items to get extra funds for crafting or upgrading your equipment. In general, most players keep a few high-value items for crafting but sell excess or duplicate items to maintain flexibility. Knowing which items to keep and which to sell is a key part of long-term success in Arc Raiders.

Common Mistakes with Jolt Mines

Even experienced players sometimes make mistakes with Jolt Mines. Here are a few common pitfalls:

Placing mines too close together: This wastes resources without improving coverage.

Ignoring cooldowns: Some players deploy a mine immediately after the previous one triggers, but if the cooldown hasn’t reset, it won’t be ready when needed.

Over-reliance on mines: Mines are a support tool, not a primary weapon. Relying on them exclusively can leave your team vulnerable in fast-moving fights.

Most players learn through experience that balance between active combat and strategic deployment of mines leads to the best results.

The Jolt Mine is a versatile tool in Arc Raiders, offering crowd control through stunning effects. Understanding its mechanics, placement, timing, and resource cost is crucial for effective use. In general, careful placement, coordination with teammates, and proper management of crafting resources allow most players to get the most value out of this tool. Selling excess items also helps maintain your inventory and fund upgrades.

By focusing on practical strategies rather than just deploying as many mines as possible, players can improve mission success rates and overall efficiency in the game.
