If you have played some arc raiders items for sale, then you know that the squads who are more versatile often outperform the teams with better aim. Smokes defibs mines and movement tools determine whether you are rich or poor.

 This guide will take you through an Arc Raiders full utility item tiers list for Patch 1.6.1, explain why every item sits in its corresponding tier, and provide you with ready-made raid loadouts.

 This isn’t just an opinion piece; this is based on what works consistently for high-risk PvP or big Arc, PvE when there’s no space to experiment. 

 \ 1. How to Use This arc raiders shop Tier List (And What Does Bring Every Raid Mean)

 It's important to get a good perspective on the situation before deciding what should be placed in S-tier. I'm evaluating each utility item according to four main criteria.

 1. Slot efficiency

 How much is the value of a single slot on your backpack or utility bar compared to other slots?

 2. Raid consistency

 This item impacts most raids or only one of twenty extremely specific situations.

 3. Skill requirements vs. reward

 Is it worthwhile to learn, or could there be a simpler and safer alternative which does 90% of what you need?

 4. Economic & accessibility

 Blueprint requirements, cost of the craft, and if you can sustain it reasonably in a regular wipe.

 To shorten:

 S Tier: You should consider this for nearly every raid.

 A Tier: Very strong. Bring it often or when your style of play suits you.

 B Tier: Solid, niche product or one that is overshadowed.

 C Tier – Very situational, or outclassed.

 D Tier: Meme, screenshots, or I discovered it in raid and used it.

 What is the best pick for universal use if you only have space for three items?

 The majority of players in mixed PvP/PvE games:

 1. Smoke Grenade (big)

 2. Defibrillator

 3. Heavy Fuse or Trigger Grenade

 If you don't want to use defibs around randoms and are alone, consider Vita Spray (or Jolt Mine) instead.

 Q2 Should I bring mines all the time?

 Not always. Mines are most powerful when:

 You're defending buildings or specific loot locations.

 You know the most common routes and doors on the map.

 Your team is patient enough to let them play.

 If you are playing a hyper-aggressive game style, you might want to consider using a mines slot for more grenades.

 Q3 Are Blaze Grenades Still Worth Crafting After the Nerf?

 If you have clear expectations, then yes.

 These are no longer Arc erasers.

 You can use them to displace and deny an area, not as a raw kill grenade.

 Heavy Fuse/Trigger/Trailblazer is a better choice if you're not interested in managing team damage and the spread of fire.

 Q4 When are Cloak and Raider Hatch Key must-bring items?

 Cloak can be a necessity for high-value PvE farming if you know your Matriarch/Queen routes in advance and want minimize the risk.

 Map-dependent Raider Hatch Key

 If you are familiar with the locations of hatches on a map and can trust them, having a key will increase your chances of survival.

 If you're not familiar with the map, you can invest this slot in healing or smoking until you get to know it.

 Q5: Trolling or style games are my favorite. What items from the lower tiers are still entertaining?

 Remote Raider Flames - Attract squads towards mines and third parties.

 Arc can sometimes be weaponized with lure Grenades.

 Recorder/Lightstick - Roleplays, screenshots, social runs.

 Every meme item means one less defib smoke or lethal weapon.

 Summary: Priority list you can apply right away

 The utility of Patch 1.6 is a simple matter of priority.

 1. Always respect smokes.

 No matter how big or small they are, they will be your lifeline in the event of a revive, an evac, or repositioning.

 2. How many mistakes are allowed?

 Defibrillator plus Vita spray is more effective than a single big damage grenade in a full raid.

 3. The offensive core of your system is made up of Trigger/Heavy Fuse/Trailblazer.

 Bring at least one deadly grenade, if you are expecting PvP.

 4. It is not necessary to have specialized grenades, mobile tools, or mines.

 All of these are fantastic when the core is covered.

 If you adapt your raid kit around these principles, there will be fewer moments when I die and I have no idea why and more times where we should not have survived but we did.
