RaiderBuddy review
A broad ARC Raiders planning hub with strong live-event tools and no mobile apps.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
RaiderBuddy is a companion platform for ARC Raiders players who want one place to plan builds, follow events, explore maps, and track game progress. Its web tools cover real-time event timers, interactive markers, weekly trial strategies, quest tracking, weapon information, skill-tree planning, and inventory, hideout, expedition, and match-history tracking. A Windows overlay brings timers and map information into the game environment, making the product especially relevant to players managing live-service activities across repeated sessions.
The platform’s main strength is breadth within the ARC Raiders use case. Maps include loot, extraction, enemy, and quest markers, while build tools support skill-tree planning, point allocation, saving, and sharing. Players can also create private map markers and synchronize blueprints. Weapon tier lists and statistics add reference material, while event notifications and trial spawn information support time-sensitive planning. Discord, Embark account, Google OAuth, Supabase, and Stripe integrations extend the surrounding account and notification setup, although the product does not list AI features or open-source availability.
RaiderBuddy uses a freemium model with core tools available on the free plan and a seven-day trial. Premium Monthly costs €4.99 per month and adds an ad-free experience, event notifications, saved skill builds, private map markers, blueprint and progress sync, and priority support. Premium Yearly is displayed at €2.99 per month with annual billing and the same listed highlights. The service is available on web and Windows, with no mobile apps listed. Choose RaiderBuddy if you want detailed ARC Raiders planning and progress tools, particularly on Windows; choose an alternative if mobile access is essential or you need a platform covering multiple games.
