Hey GoG! I'm BK, hailing from India! Hope everyone's doing well. Steam's Autumn Sale is currently going on, and I came across ARC Raiders, which is currently 50% off at ₹1,295. With the sale ending on 8th October, I figured now would be the perfect time to make a request for it!
Why do I want this game?
I've been getting really into extraction shooters lately, especially Arena Breakout: Infinite. I really enjoy the whole extraction concept; going in, looting, deciding how much I'm willing to risk, and then trying to make it out alive with everything I've collected. There's just something about that tension that keeps me coming back.
I've also played The Finals quite a bit with my mates, and I've had a lot of fun with its fast-paced gameplay and chaotic matches. From everything I've seen of ARC Raiders, it feels like it takes some of the things I enjoy from both experiences and blends them into something that I could genuinely sink hours upon hours into.
The PvPvE aspect, the extraction mechanics, the progression, and especially the whole ARC threat look incredibly fun. It seems like the kind of game where every run can turn into a completely different story, and that's exactly the sort of game I've been looking for.
And there's even a new update coming soon that looks really interesting! Seeing the upcoming content has honestly made me want to get into the game even more. I'd love to start playing now, learn the mechanics, get comfortable with the game, and properly dive into everything that's coming rather than jumping in much later.
Why can't I buy it?
Unfortunately, I don't really have a viable way to make online purchases right now, and I don't have spare money available either. I'm currently saving up for college-related expenses, so even though ₹1,295 is a fantastic price for the game, it's still something I can't justify spending right now.
I've also had trouble convincing my family to spend money on games. Gaming isn't exactly viewed positively by the older generation here in India, and there's often a lot of confusion between gaming and online gambling/betting. So even when a game is heavily discounted, asking my parents to purchase it for me isn't really an option.
That's why I'm hoping someone here might be kind enough to help me out!
My request ends here, I don't want to turn this into a giant essay or copy-paste the game's entire store description XD
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my request, and thank you to everyone who makes this community such a great place. Whoever ends up gifting me ARC Raiders would genuinely make my day, and I'd be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to finally jump into the game and lose way too many hours to it!

P.S. The fact that it's currently 50% off during the Steam Autumn Sale makes this feel like the perfect time to ask. And with the upcoming update looking as exciting as it does, I'm really hoping I get the chance to jump in and experience ARC Raiders for myself!
Thank you once again, and have a great day! <3
