The closest games to Arc Raiders are Escape from Tarkov, Hunt: Showdown 1896 and The Cycle: Frontier. Below, 9 picks with the reason for each — what carries over from Arc Raiders, and what does not.
Arc Raiders is an extraction shooter: you go out with gear, try to find better gear, and the tension is entirely in deciding when to leave. What makes it different is that the machines are as dangerous as the other players, so it plays quieter and slower than most of the genre.
Arc Raiders released on the PC & Modern Multi-Platform. The list below is not restricted to that console — a recommendation is only useful if you can actually play it, so it spans generations and platforms.
The genre's origin point, and by far the most punishing version of it.
The best-paced extraction shooter, and the tension is unmatched.
PvEvP extraction on an alien planet — the closest structural match.
If it was fighting machines with friends rather than the PvP that appealed.
Extraction raiding in space, with boarding actions.
The fantasy version, and the extraction decision is just as sharp.
Co-op extraction without the PvP, and extremely good-natured.
For the desolate world and scavenging, without the raid timer.
If the machines and the movement were the draw.
Several of these have their own page here: games like Titanfall 2.
