ARC machines can spike frame time
A large machine, nearby raiders, sparks, and broken cover can all demand work in one moment.
ARC Raiders FPS boost and PC optimization
Tune ARC Raiders for busy raids and open maps
ARC Raiders can shift from a calm search to a machine fight fast. Hone reduces extra Windows work so your PC has more room for those sudden changes.

01
Why ARC Raiders can stutter on PC
ARC Raiders mixes wide outdoor views with close fights and large machines. A weak CPU, full graphics memory, slow storage, or open apps can make those shifts feel rough.
Outdoor sight lines stay expensive
Wide zones keep terrain, distant objects, shadows, and moving targets in view.
Fresh shaders may hitch at first
A game or driver update can rebuild shader data, so the first trip through an area may feel less smooth.
Capture tools can steal raid headroom
Video tabs, launchers, recording tools, and overlays may use the same CPU and memory the raid needs.
02
Build an ARC Raiders settings plan before launch
Start with Windows load, then test the ARC Raiders options tied to big views and effects. This keeps the work focused on real limits instead of one low preset.
Free resources for the raid
Pause work you do not need so ARC Raiders can use more CPU time and memory.
Review Windows gaming changes
Choose the supported power and system settings that fit this PC, then keep a record of them.
Test the options raids stress
Try shadows, effects, view distance, and upscaling one group at a time.
Keep every change reversible
Read each Hone change before you apply it and restore supported settings that do not help.
Raid prep on Windows
Prepare the PC before ARC Raiders opens
- Close avoidable app work
- Pick supported PC settings
- Read changes before applying
- Restore supported choices
03
Optimize Windows without touching the raid
Hone changes supported Windows settings only. ARC Raiders code, live memory, controls, and traffic stay outside that work.
Game memory stays untouched
Hone does not inject into ARC Raiders or read and change live game memory.
No tools that play for you
Hone adds no aim help, raid scripts, macros, bots, or automated controls.
Security checks stay in place
Hone does not hide itself or try to pass around the game security system.
Server distance still matters
A far server, weak Wi-Fi, packet loss, or a poor ISP route remains outside Hone.
04
Repeat one raid route before you decide
Use the same area, gear, and graphics preset before and after Hone. A short repeatable route tells you more than a peak FPS number.
No fixed FPS promise. Results depend on your hardware, game build, drivers, heat, settings, and background apps.
- 01
Choose a raid route
Pick a path with an open view and a fight. Write down FPS, frame spikes, the preset, and open apps.
- 02
Apply only chosen changes
Read the list, select the changes you want, and restart the PC when the app asks.
- 03
Return to the same route
Keep the preset and open apps the same. Keep clear gains and undo supported changes that add no value.
ARC Raiders FPS, stutter, settings, and lag FAQ
What are the best ARC Raiders settings for FPS?
Begin with shadows, effects, view distance, and upscaling. Test each group on an open raid route instead of lowering the full preset.
How do I fix ARC Raiders stuttering?
Close capture tools and busy browser tabs. Check heat and driver status, then test lower effects on the same route. A fresh update may also rebuild shaders.
Why is ARC Raiders FPS low after an update?
An update can rebuild shaders or reset a preset. Restart, confirm the graphics menu, and repeat one known route before changing more.
Can Hone fix ARC Raiders lag or high ping?
Hone may reduce Windows load that feels like lag. It cannot repair an ARC Raiders server, lost packets, weak Wi-Fi, or your ISP path.
Is Hone safe to use with ARC Raiders?
Hone works outside the game. It does not inject into ARC Raiders, edit live memory, change packets, add cheats, or bypass anti-cheat. Hone is not made or approved by Embark Studios.
Is Hone free for ARC Raiders?
Yes. Use the free plan to test a limited set of PC changes with ARC Raiders before you choose Premium.
