ARC Raiders puts a major emphasis on looting, as the items found on Topside are crucial in crafting equipment, tools, workstations, and making coins. However, if players gather more items than they can use, they'll eventually run out of space, either inside their stash in Speranza or their character's inventory (backpack) during raids. Here's how players can increase the max storage capacity for inventory and stash.
How to Play with Friends in ARC Raiders (Embark ID Location)
ARC Raiders supports Crossplay (Cross-Platform) functionality. Here's how players can turn it on to play with their friends on different platforms.
How to Increase Max Stash Space in ARC Raiders
When players start their adventure in ARC Raiders, they'll initially have 64 stash storage space/slots. This is ample space to store your initial collection of materials and items gathered from Topside. However, once your successful raids increase in frequency, and you start offloading items more often, they'll slowly fill up.
There's only so much stash space you can free up by either selling or recycling items in ARC Raiders. So, here's how you'll be able to expand your stash space in ARC Raiders.
- Go to the inventory screen from the main menu.
- Click on the "Expand" button at the top of your item slots, between Loadout and Stash labels.
- You'll need to spend coins to get additional slots and upgrade the maximum capacity of your stash.
The first stash expansion upgrade will cost you 5,000 coins and will give you 24 additional slots, bringing the total stash slots up to 88.
Subsequent upgrades will increase in cost by an increment of 5,000 coins, i.e., the second upgrade will cost 10,000 coins, the third upgrade will cost 15,000 coins, and so on.
The maximum stash capacity players can have in the final release of ARC Raiders is 280 slots.

How to Increase Backpack Space in ARC Raiders
If you're a hoarder and often find yourself running out of backpack inventory space while picking up an item during raids, you'll need to use the Looting Augment in ARC Raiders. Looting Augments are designed to increase a player's maximum carry capacity, allowing them to extract more items from every match.
Here's how many additional inventory slots some Looting Augments grant.
