There&#8217;s the social incentive to play an instrument, to bond with strangers and just show them that you&#8217;re a harmless, relatively chill dude. But there&#8217;s also the strategic purpose of using noises to lure arcs. Perhaps you&#8217;re herding them into a trap or ambush or maybe you&#8217;re trying to distract the aggro of one arc away from another vulnerable player. <\/p>\n<p>Avid players of Arc Raiders will notice, however, that there&#8217;s no trumpet available in game. Well that&#8217;s because the trumpet eventually became what we now know as the lure grenade. Apparently a playable trumpet was just too silly to the devs at first, so they settled on something a bit more useful. But now, over a year later from launch players can enjoy multiple instruments like the piano, guitar, harmonica, flute, banjo, recorder, and the trusty shaker. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s been almost seven years of exploring this world. [Composers Patrik Andr\u00e9n and Johan S\u00f6derqvist] used to be performing musicians before they became composers so they have a lot of friends who are Sweden&#8217;s best jazz musicians,&#8221; Pajor adds. &#8220;So a lot of the sounds in the game are quite unique because they are making the sound libraries.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"sGejTNdyiUoyifskRyfkGU\" name=\"Arc Raiders Frozen Trails\" alt=\"Arc Raiders Frozen Trails screenshots\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/arc-raiders-devs-have-used-a-music-sample-from-a-piano-in-chernobyl-that-someone-had-discovered-in-the-forbidden-zone.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Embark Studios)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s their commitment to building a world; they&#8217;re phenomenal world builders.
