How to Use Barricade Kits in ARC Raiders

Barricade kits are essential defensive tools in ARC Raiders that allow you to quickly fortify your position during raids. This guide will walk you through the process of deploying, managing, and retrieving barricade kits so you can effectively protect yourself in any situation.

Accessing Your Barricade Kit

To begin using a barricade kit, press Q to open your quick use menu. From this menu, select the barricade kit option.

Deploying the Barricade Kit

Once you’ve selected the barricade kit from your quick use menu, the game will display a preview showing you exactly where the barricade will be placed. Review this placement carefully to ensure it’s in a suitable location.

Understanding Deployment Restrictions

Not every location will allow barricade placement. If you see the deployment preview but cannot place the barricade, it’s because there isn’t enough space in that area. The game will prevent you from deploying if the space is insufficient.

Move to an open area where there is clearly adequate space, such as outdoors or in a larger room within a building.

Completing the Deployment

Once you’ve found a suitable location with enough space, press the deploy button. Hold it down and your barricade will pop up in literally a split second, providing you with immediate cover.

Managing Your Barricade Kits

Dismantling Your Barricade

One of the key advantages of barricade kits is their portability. You can dismantle a deployed barricade at any time to pick it back up and take it with you. Be aware that dismantling takes longer than initial deployment, so plan accordingly if you’re in a time-sensitive situation.

Retrieving Your Barricade

After dismantling your barricade, you can simply pick it up and carry it with you to your next location. This flexibility is what makes barricade kits such a valuable asset—you’re not locked into one position and can adapt your defenses as the raid progresses.

Summary

Using barricade kits in ARC Raiders is straightforward: press Q to access your quick use menu, select the barricade kit, find a location with sufficient space, and deploy. The beauty of these kits is their reusability—dismantle them whenever you need to relocate and take them with you to your next defensive position. Master this mechanic and you’ll significantly improve your survival rate during raids.
