Yup 17th til 19th, a word of warning though, whilst the last test phase was very stable this coming weekend is a stress test with the aim of heavily loading the servers til breaking point, so it may not necessarily be the smoothest of days

Depends if you like extraction shooters, if you didnt like Escape from Tarkov for example then its not likely that this will grab you either, if you do like extraction shooters then its hard to see how it wouldnt grab you, its aesthetically better than other extraction shooters, it runs better than other extraction shooters, the gunplay is better and the game theme is better and the sfx is way better than other extraction shooters.
In summary, if you like extraction shooters then there is everything here to grab you, if you dont like extraction shooters then there is very little here to grab you

Only thing putting me off is UE5. Not played it yet but will be having a go this weekend
Ran like a dream on the last test they did.
Made me think UE5 isn't all that bad and just todays devs aren't the best.
Embark know what they’re doing with UE5. The Finals (their other game) looks and runs like a dream on the same engine.
One thing that is really cool about this is the NPC enemies have been trained using machine learning to adapt to players and scenarios such as being able to correct itself like from the walker loosing a limb or being flipped off a building edge so it can self right etc. It is built from ex-battlefield devs and everyone I know whom has played it has praised it pretty well tbh.
Yup, one of the key things here is that Arc Raiders is made by some of the original DICE devs, you know, some of the guys who made the good versions of BF
30th October is official release.
This weekend (17-19th) is a free server slam test with no code required.
I believe the server slam weekend starts at 2pm tomorrow. Hopefully there will be enough people still playing BF6 that the weekend will go smoothly and we'll get plenty of game time, so if anyone reading this would kindly stay in BF6 for this weekend so that I can get maximum Arc Raiding done , thanks 
Bit more info here on test weekend - https://arcraiders.com/en/news/server-slam-info/

Sounds good, looking forward to trying it out tomorrow.
Won't have a clue what I'm going as I've never played an extraction shooter before other than Helldivers 2 though I'm not even sure if that's regarded as a true extraction shooter....
Slightly different style of extraction compared to Helldivers (as in HD2 if you die, you can just come back repeatedly to a point) - but there are some good crossovers like missions etc.
Treat each drop / run with a focus. Whether that's to find players for PVP, whether you've got specific missions you want to get done, whether it's about going to high loot areas to get certain items. That's the way I've found extraction shooters to be most fun, giving yourself a focus each time. It works nicely for solo and for when playing in groups - otherwise I found I was just dropping in and then aimlessly wondering about.
