What is LootLink?
LootLink is a free marketplace for Arc Raiders players. You can browse trade listings, post your own, send trade requests, chat with partners, and leave reviews after completed trades. We help you find and coordinate trades — all item exchanges happen in-game between players.
Is LootLink affiliated with Embark or Arc Raiders?
No. LootLink is an independent fan-made tool. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with Embark Studios or Arc Raiders.
How do I create a listing?
Sign in or create an account, then go to Create Listing from the navigation menu. Choose the items you want to offer and what you are looking for in return, then publish. Your listing appears on the Listings page where other players can send you trade requests.
How does trading work on this platform?
Browse listings or post your own, send a trade request to someone whose offer interests you, and use the built-in chat to agree on details. Once you accept a trade, coordinate in Arc Raiders and complete the exchange in-game. When both sides are done, mark the trade complete and optionally leave a review.
Does LootLink guarantee trades?
No. LootLink only helps you find partners and coordinate — we do not hold items, process payments, or enforce trades in-game. Always check ratings and reviews, confirm the deal in chat, and trade carefully.
What is an Embark ID?
Your Embark ID is your in-game name in Arc Raiders (Name#1234). Other traders need it to find and add you in-game. Set it once in Settings. It cannot be changed, and it is only shared after a trade is accepted.
How do I contact another trader?
Once a trade request is sent or accepted, use the trade chat to message your partner directly on LootLink. Share your Embark ID there if needed so you can meet in-game.
How do reviews work?
After a trade is marked complete, both players can leave a star rating and an optional written review. New traders have no star rating until they receive a review; after that, the profile shows the average. Reviews are public on profiles and help the community spot reliable traders.
Can I trade for real money?
No. LootLink is for in-game item trades only. We do not support real-money transactions, and asking for or offering cash trades violates our guidelines. Accounts that attempt real-money trading may be banned.
How do I report a scammer or bad trade?
Email contact@lootlink.trade with the trader's username, trade details, and screenshots if you have them. We may warn or ban users who break our rules, but we cannot recover lost in-game items or reverse trades that already happened in-game.
Is my account secure?
We use industry-standard authentication through Supabase, including encrypted passwords and secure session cookies. We never ask for your game password. See our Privacy Policy for more on how we handle your data.
How do I delete my account?
Go to Settings and use Delete Account. This removes your active account data from our systems. Some anonymized trade history may be retained to protect community ratings.
How can I support the platform?
Tell other Arc Raiders players about LootLink, leave honest reviews after good trades, and report scammers or bad behavior. Feedback and bug reports at contact@lootlink.trade also help us improve the site.
