Best Stealth Builds in ARC Raiders

Role GuidePatch v1.29

Stealth builds prioritize silence, high single-shot damage, and positioning over raw DPS. These loadouts let you eliminate targets before they know you're there, using silencers, high stealth stats, and tactical positioning.

Top Weapons for This Role

#1 — Osprey (Sniper Rifle · Medium · 796.5 DPS)

Osprey IV with silencer + signal jammer augment is the definitive stealth build. The silencer keeps you off minimaps, and Signal Jammer prevents enemy proximity detection. 45 damage one-shots unarmored heads.

#2 — Hairpin (Pistol · Light · 180 DPS)

Hairpin I comes with a built-in silencer and the highest stealth stat in the game at 70. At only 450c, it's the cheapest stealth option. 20 damage per shot at 180 DPS — ideal for stealth finishers.

#3 — Renegade (Battle Rifle · Medium · 735 DPS)

Renegade III with 735 DPS and excellent 85.7 stability provides high-damage stealth kills. The lever-action is quiet and accurate. Pairs well with a silencer attachment.

#4 — Venator (Pistol · Medium · 660.6 DPS)

Venator III with vertical grip + extended mag and Focus augment tightens the burst grouping for stealthy two-tap eliminations. Light weight (5kg) keeps you mobile.
