Arc Raiders Trade Reputation System Explained

Understand how the Arc Raiders AI reputation system works. Build trust through smooth trades, report bad actors, and check player reputation before trading.

Why Reputation Matters

Trading with strangers always carries risk. The reputation system on <a href='/trade'>Arc Raiders AI</a> gives you a way to verify who you are dealing with before committing to a trade. Players who consistently complete trades smoothly earn higher scores, while those who scam or no-show get flagged.

How Reputation Scores Work

After a trade is marked complete, both parties can submit a report rating the experience. Options range from Smooth to Got Ratted. Your reputation score is calculated on a 0 to 5 scale using a weighted formula. Recent reports matter more than old ones, so your score reflects your current behavior. New traders with fewer than 3 completed trades show a New Trader badge instead of a numeric score.

Reading Reputation Badges

Reputation badges appear on squad cards, trade listings, and player profiles. Trusted (4.5+) means a consistent track record of smooth trades. Reliable (3.5+) is solid with mostly positive reports. Neutral (2.5+) means mixed results. Caution (below 2.5) means multiple negative reports. Always check before committing to a high value trade.

Reporting a Trade

After the trade owner marks it complete, both participants can file a report. Choose the outcome that best describes the experience: Smooth, Partial Trade, Miscommunication, No Show, Got Ratted, or Scammed. Add an optional comment with details. Reports are limited to one per person per trade to prevent abuse.

Building Your Reputation

Start with small trades to establish your score. Always show up on time, bring the agreed items, and communicate clearly. Your reputation carries across all features on Arc Raiders AI. A high reputation score on trades also shows up on your squad posts, making other Raiders more likely to join your runs.
