Best ARC Raiders Builds: Skill Tree Paths for Update 2.3.0

These are the 3 builds to run on update 2.3.0.

Each one names its capstones and where its points go.

The skill tree has 3 branches: Conditioning, Mobility and Survival.

Build	Role	Capstones	Points
PvP build	Fights, with speed and stamina	Sprinting On Fumes, then Wall Run	33 Conditioning, 41 Mobility, 17 Survival
PvE loot build	Loot runs and Security Lockers	Security Breach	31 Conditioning, 26 Mobility, 19 Survival
All-round build	Mixed raids with ARC and players	Security Breach and Sprinting On Fumes	31 Conditioning, 31 Mobility, 14 Survival

Pick the build by how you play: fights, loot or both.

The PvP split uses all 91 points. The other 2 splits use the 76 points from levels.

Frozen Trail rebuilt the skill tree on 8 October 2026.

Builds from before that date use skills that are gone.

You earn 1 skill point per level, 76 in all.

Expeditions add the rest, up to 91 points.

No build can take every skill, so each build is a choice.

Choice nodes and capstones

Each branch has an early choice node. You pick 1 of 2 skills there.

The capstone row opens at 30 points in a branch. It offers 3 skills.

At 40 points in the same branch, you can take a 2nd capstone.
