Many ARC Raiders players prefer running solo missions to farm materials, hunt Rusties, or complete specific quests without the constant pressure of squad invites.

Currently, ARC Raiders does not feature a native, built-in "Appear Offline" toggle within its own social menu. To hide your online status, you must rely on the privacy settings of your specific gaming platform.

The guide below outlines how to go dark across PC and consoles, along with key platform-specific behavior you need to know.

Essential Roster & Privacy Caveats

Setting your platform status to invisible protects you from random invites, but the game's cross-play systems can sometimes override these settings.

  • The Cross-Play Loophole: If you have added a friend directly through the game's cross-network system (using an Embark ID) rather than your standard console/Steam friends list, the game may still display your live lobby status across different platforms.
  • The Invite Trigger: If you are set to "Invisible" on Steam or console and you manually join a public matchmaking queue or send an invite to a friend, your status will instantly update to "Online" for the duration of that session.
  • The Direct Route: If you want to absolutely guarantee a zero-interruption solo farm session on PC, launch the Steam client, click Steam in the top-left corner, select Go Offline..., and then launch ARC Raiders. This forces the game to run purely under your local client parameters.
