"But there's a way to get a look at post-apocalyptic Italy through the eyes of a Raider: Binoculars. They come with a heavy vignette and some HUD elements to make it feel like you're using a zoomed scope, but on PC, if you hit F10, not only do you hide the HUD, but the vignetting on the binoculars goes away, leaving you with a suitably grainy image that's perfect for taking some pretty shots of the game."
"I'm something of an amateur photographer myself, having studied the craft briefly in college; I also grew up with a family member who made a living picking up the camera. I love a good shot, IRL or otherwise, so I had to learn more about the experience of capturing the beautiful vistas of Arc Raiders ' world and freezing in place the sudden and intense bursts of violence the game is known for."
Arc Raiders is a third-person extraction shooter with a single scopeable gun and richly detailed, post-apocalyptic Italian environments. Binoculars in the game apply heavy vignetting and HUD elements to simulate a zoomed scope, but on PC pressing F10 hides the HUD and removes binocular vignetting, producing a grainy, first-person image. A real-life photographer known as Topside Flicks (Levi) used this method to capture atmospheric screenshots, leaving combat aside to focus on vistas and explosive moments. The resulting images complement the game's kitbashed aesthetic, suggesting in-world improvised camera gear and emphasizing both beauty and sudden violence.
