I'd suggest experimenting with the setting to properly tune the volume to your preferences by playing a few rounds with it off and on and making a decision from there. It's not going to be the perfect set up for everyone, but I found that it makes a difference for me when I can't be bothered to grab a headset.

This means you'll need to think carefully about which skills you want to unlock to best suit your build.

Luckily, there aren't an endless number of skills to ARC Raiders BluePrints buy be had so it makes getting a comprehensive understanding of the skill tree simple, but each character has a max level of 75, which means that you can only acquire 75 nodes. Think carefully before you start putting points in one direction of the tree, you won't be able to get that point back unless you start fresh.
