ARC Raiders FPP camera POV explained

There’s been a buzz of a possible first-person camera in the ARC Raiders community of late, and it’s largely got to do with a recent clip that went viral on social media.

A clip from u/Short_Satisfaction_9 showcased what FPP in ARC Raiders can potentially look like. While the video is rough around the edges, it could be an early peek into a different mode that ARC Raiders could receive in the future.

However, you might be trying in vain if you’re trying to replicate the same.

Can you play ARC Raiders in first person?

It’s impossible to play ARC Raiders in first person, and the video mentioned was possible using dev console commands.

Console commands used to be available on PC, but the option was patched out after this exploit. While the user didn’t share the exact command, it allowed to force-load a first-person camera perspective.

However, you and I won’t be able to replicate this. First, only users on PC could have created the dev console window when launching ARC Raiders. This allowed them to bypass certain default graphics settings. Sadly, this became an exploit, and it didn’t take long for Embark to patch out the option. As of writing, you can’t open the dev console window anymore (even if you’re playing on PC) in any way.

However, could we eventually get a first-person camera mode in ARC Raiders? Embark has promised that there will be plenty of new content in 2026, but it’s best not to put your bets on getting an official version of this former exploit anytime soon.
