Last night I was wandering around the Buried City, plundering sand-filled houses and trying my best to avoid getting mowed down by that minigun-toting Bastion, when I happened upon the best early loot farm I’ve found so far in Arc Raiders. Considering I’m level 20 and already prepping an expedition to send off my Raider to a nice farm upstate, you can take my word for it that this place is extremely lucrative.

And the best part? It’s on the outskirts of the Buried City rather than the highly contested centre of the town, it’s close to a Raider Hatch and a subway station for fast exfil, and it doesn’t require a key, or fighting past a load of Arc enemies to access it. A little oasis in the apocalypse. Weirdly, all you have to do is breach a single door and step into a small room with four lootable containers.

So where is this golden loot spot: Marano Station. You’ll have to head here for the Market Correction quest, but otherwise, it’s a pretty uninhabited area of the map, a little ways off to the side of the Marano Park in the north where the Bastion likes to hang out. You’ll frequently find players sneaking around the park itself looking for that most valuable item: lemons.

The spot is on the platform of the station, where you’ll find a simple metal door that you can breach, and inside, two breachable crates and two Raider containers. In the seven times I’ve been back to this room, I’ve gotten at least one purple every time, either an epic crafting material like Complex Gun Parts, Exodus Modules, and Magnetic Accelerators, or a Wolfpack Grenade. In my best run of the room, I got three of these.

• Heavy Weapon Part blueprint
• Blue rarity weapons like the Venator and Torrente
• Rusted Tools
• Synthesized Fuel
• Raider Hatch Keys
• Heavy Gun Parts
• Green rarity weapons such as Burletta and Il Toro

On an average day about a dozen new games are released on Steam. And while we think that’s a good thing, it can be understandably hard to keep up with. Potentially exciting gems are sure to be lost in the deluge of new things to play unless you sort through every single game that is released on Steam. So that’s exactly what we’ve done. If nothing catches your fancy this week, we’ve gathered the best PC games you can play right now and a running list of the 2025 games that are launching this year.

Arc Raiders is an online videogame launching in 2025, which means it has a store, a (free) battle pass, and, of course, promotions to unlock in-game items by doing things outside the game. That’s right gamers, I’m talking about Arc Raiders Twitch Drops!

By watching your favorite streamer play Arc Raiders (or by leaving a random stream playing in the bottom right-hand corner of your second monitor while you go about your day) you can unlock several small, free cosmetics. And that’s not Arc Raiders’ only promotion: there’s also a Discord Quest waiting for you in your chat app.

I don’t usually jump into multiplayer shooters to get wrapped up in storylines or lore implications, but Arc Raiders has had that effect on me in the small bursts I’ve played. The extraction shooter makes a strong impression as you step into its post-future, ’70s-tinged sci-fi Italy.

Arc Raiders has a unique conceit for a PvPvE game that’s fundamentally about filling a backpack with valuable stuff: You’re a citizen of Spiranza, an underground city founded after humanity was forced underground by the Arc, a brigade of homicidal robots that dropped out of the sky one day. At the time of the game, the Arc have dominated the planet’s surface for generations. As a raider, you’re one of the few souls bold enough to brave the surface to loot for valuables.

Twitch already has plenty of vtubers streaming on it daily, some of whom are incredibly successful. But it doesn’t have Hololive, the biggest group of vtubers in the world. A few of its members have streamed on it here and there in the past, but now it’s going to be a regular spot to watch the most popular anime girls play games.

Cover, owner of the Hololive vtuber agency, has entered a partnership with Twitch for its talents to regularly stream on the platform. If you’ve ever seen a clip of an anime dog girl or a shark girl playing a game, it was probably a Hololive vtuber. One of its most popular English-speaking vtubers, Calliope Mori, has over 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube, and several of its Japanese talents have even more.
