About Raiders Trade
The community-built trading hub for Arc Raiders players.
What is Raiders Trade?
Raiders Trade is a free, community-run marketplace where Arc Raiders players can post item-for-item trade listings, get automatically matched with compatible traders, and arrange in-game exchanges — all without any real-money transactions for traded items.
Arc Raiders is a co-op extraction shooter developed by Embark Studios. Because the game revolves around looting and extracting valuable gear, players often end up with surplus items they don't need and a shortage of items they do. Raiders Trade exists to connect those players efficiently.
How It Works
Post Your Listing
Search for the item you have using the MetaForge-powered item database, then pick the item you want in return. Your listing goes live instantly and is visible to the whole community.
Get Matched Automatically
Our matching engine scans all active listings and highlights trades where both parties want what the other has — a true swap. No need to scroll through hundreds of listings manually.
Send or Accept a Trade Request
When you find a match (or someone finds you), either party can send a trade request. The listing owner accepts or declines. Accepted requests open an in-site chat so you can coordinate timing.
Meet In-Game and Swap
Use each other's Embark IDs to find each other inside Arc Raiders. Drop the items simultaneously in a private lobby or agreed location to complete the trade safely.
Leave a Review
After your trade, leave a positive or negative review on the other player's profile. Reviews build a community reputation score that's visible on every listing — making it easy to trust experienced traders.
How We Keep Trades Safe
Trading valuable in-game items always carries risk. Raiders Trade offers several layers of protection designed to make scamming harder and easier to punish.
Community Reputation
Every completed trade and review contributes to a trader's public rep score. Low-rep traders are automatically highlighted on listings as a caution.
Report & Strike System
Any listing can be reported. Multiple reports trigger an admin review. Confirmed scammers receive strikes — three strikes results in a permanent ban.
