ARC Raiders CLI

A command-line utility for looking up game data from ARC Raiders.

What it does

I hate having to keep a browser open while playing just to look up trivial information about the game, so I made a CLI utility to do it through a terminal.

This tool searches the database maintained by RaidTheory/arcraiders-data (the same data used by arctracker.io).

• Fast Performance: Uses a local cache for quick search results.
• Search Almost Everything:
  • Quests
  • Items
  • Skill Nodes
  • Hideout Modules
  • Projects
  • ARCs
• Calculates additional information for items:
  • Value delta when salvaging or recycling
  • Price comparison when purchasing from a trader (including Credits-to-Coins conversion rates)
  • Stash space gained or lost compared to recipe requirements
• Event Schedule: Displays upcoming map events in your local time, color-coded by map.
• Interactive Selection: If multiple results are found, you can quickly select with number keys.
• Automatic Updates: Performs background checks and notifies you when new data or script updates are available.

PowerToys Run

My primary way of using this is with PowerToys Run. Depending on your setup, you can hit ALT+SPACE at any time and type >arc <query> to get results from anywhere.

Feedback & Testing

I am actively looking for feedback

If you find any bugs or have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to open an issue!

Installation

From Release

1. Download the latest release.
2. Extract the ZIP to a folder.
3. Double-click install.bat to run it.
   • Note: Do not move the folder after running the install script. If you want to move it, uninstall first!
4. Restart your terminal to enable the arc command.

From Source

1. Clone the repository with submodules:

   git clone --recursive https://github.com/KuroZantetsuken/ARC-Raiders-CLI.git
   cd ARC-Raiders-CLI

2. Run .\install.bat to configure the environment.

Usage

Run arc followed by your search query.

arc cat          # List data matching "Cat"
arc cat 0        # Immediately display the first result for "Cat"
arc cat bed      # Multi-word searches work without quotes
arc events       # View the map event schedule
arc update       # Check for and install software updates

• Selection: Press 0-9 to select from multiple results.
• Direct Access: Skip selection by adding the index: arc shield 0.

Updating Data

If you installed from source using Git, you can update the game data separately:

git submodule update --remote

For release builds, use arc update to update the entire tool including data. The tool also performs periodic background checks and will notify you within the CLI when updates are available.

Uninstallation

To undo changes made by the install script, run uninstall.bat.
