Known Fixes for the ARMR0002 error

There are a few fixes that have worked for different users. Be sure to try them all out:

Verify game files in Steam

In Steam, navigate to your Library, find Arc Raiders, right-click it, select Properties, choose the "Installed Files" tab, and click "Verify Integrity of Game Files". Steam will automatically identify and repair any damaged or missing files that might interfere with server connectivity.

Install Easy Anti Cheat

Installing Easy Anti-Cheat in Steam is another method to fixing the ARMR0002 error. Here's how to do so:

Step 1

Open Steam. Then right-click on ARC Raiders and select Manage.

Step 2

Click on 'Browse local files'.

Step 3

Open the EasyAntiCheat folder.

Step 4

Now double click and install EasyAntiCheat_EOS_Setup.

Step 5

Once installed, run the game as administrator.

Clear DNS Cache

On PC, open Command Prompt as administrator and type ipconfig /flushdns, then press Enter. This command clears your DNS cache and forces a fresh connection to Arc Raiders servers.

Restart Arc Raiders

Whether you're on PC or a console, turn off Arc Raiders completely. Fully restart your device and wait approximately 30 seconds before launching Arc Raiders again. This waiting period allows temporary network glitches and server communication issues to reset on both ends.

Allow Arc Raiders through the firewall

Check your firewall and antivirus software to ensure Arc Raiders and Steam aren't being blocked from accessing the internet.

Open Windows Security, navigate to Firewall & Network Protection, select "Allow an app through firewall," and verify that both Steam and Arc Raiders are allowed on both private and public networks. Add Arc Raiders to any third-party antivirus software's exceptions list if necessary.

You'll often find that the error disappears on its own, which tells us that the issue chiefly arises out of server overload. Given that the game has just been released, this is bound to happen. So wait a little. If it persists, give the aforementioned fixes a shot.
