INTERACTIVE MAPS • All six maps with thousands of markers — loot, containers, ARC enemies, extractions, quests, nature and events. • Fast native pinch/pan/zoom; filter by category to find exactly what you need. • Tap any marker for its details — including ARC enemy loot tables — then jump to the item's full page. ITEM DATABASE • Every weapon, gear, mod, ammo, consumable, material and more. • Stats, rarity, crafting recipes, recycle values, where-obtained and marketplace prices at a glance — cached offline so it's instant. • Favourite items to build your own list, saved privately on your device. MARKETPLACE • Trade with other players — browse every live listing, filter by buying or selling, and sort by price. • Make an offer, agree the details in chat, then you each lock in before swapping in-game IDs. • Check anyone's reputation first — rating breakdown, completed trades and every review they've had. • Post your own listings, and leave a review after each trade. • Report a listing or block a trader at any time. Trades are for in-game items between players only. No real money is involved and there are no in-app purchases. TRACKER • Track quests, workshop upgrades, projects and blueprints with what-you-need counts. Expand a quest to see its objectives, required items and where its steps are on the map. LIVE EVENTS • See what's live now and what's coming next on each map, with countdown timers. • Build your own agenda from the events you care about, day by day. • Tap the bell on any event to get a reminder the moment it goes live — and if several start at once, they're combined into a single notification. — Unofficial & fan-made.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Paltopia holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Paltopia has 1.4K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Paltopia's written reviews are positive against 100% of ARC Companion | Metaforge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
