Ares — setup & guide

Overview

Ares is our full ARC Raiders aimbot + ESP: closet or full-rage aim with FOV, smoothing and per-bone targeting, complete player / bot / loot ESP, and a built-in 2D radar. It runs as an external overlay, so first-time setup takes a couple of minutes: enable a game overlay, run the loader, then open the menu in-game. This guide walks the whole flow. It covers usage-level information only. Your loader download and key live in your account.

Before you start

• Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit), with ARC Raiders installed and updated.
• Run the game in windowed or borderless mode on your primary monitor. The overlay draws to monitor 1, so ignore extra displays during a session.
• An active Ares subscription and your license key (both in your account after purchase).
• You need one game overlay (Discord or Medal) enabled, never both at once. Set that up next.

Set up your overlay

Ares renders through a standard game overlay. Pick one:

Option A: Discord (recommended). Install Discord and sign in, then open Settings → Game Overlay and turn Enable Overlay on and Enable Legacy Overlay off.

Then open Registered Games and confirm ARC Raiders is listed with its overlay enabled. If the menu won't show in-game later, also enable Hardware Acceleration in Discord.

Option B: Medal. Install Medal, create or sign in to an account, and confirm the overlay is enabled in its settings (it is on by default).

Install & activate

1. Download the loader from your account. It is tied to your key. Never share it.
2. Put it in its own folder and run it from there (don't move it afterwards).
3. Run the loader. A console downloads the latest update, then asks you to reopen it: close it and run it again.
4. Paste your key into the reopened loader (right-click, then Enter). It confirms the build is Undetected, downloads the assets, and closes itself when done.
5. Launch ARC Raiders. On the loading screen, confirm your overlay is active (top-left). If it isn't, fix the overlay before continuing. This step is essential.
6. Wait for the menu. In the lobby, don't switch windows. The menu opens on its own after 1–2 minutes (press Home to toggle it).

Using the menu

In-game, press Home to show or hide the menu, and End to fully unload. Your settings save between sessions.

• Aimbot: enable, target bones (head / neck / body), FOV size, smoothing, prediction, RCS and a visibility check. Start wide and smooth for a legit feel.
• Entities (ESP): players, bots and knocked, with boxes, skeletons, health, names, distance and lines.
• World: loot, containers and drone ESP with distance and filters.
• Misc & Settings: the 2D radar, quality-of-life toggles, and menu keybinds.

Troubleshooting

• Menu never appears: confirm the game is windowed/borderless on monitor 1, your overlay is on (top-left on the loading screen), and (for Discord) Hardware Acceleration is enabled. Give it the full 1–2 minutes without alt-tabbing.
• Loader won't start: make sure you extracted it to its own folder and ran it from there; if it persists, reach out in Discord.
• "Invalid key": check the subscription is active in your account and that you pasted the whole key.
• Crashes on launch: update the game and GPU drivers, and check the build shows Undetected on our status page. It is pulled offline while updating.
