Exciting Developments Unveiled in the February 1.15.0 Update for ARC Raiders!

Greetings, Raiders!

As we navigate life above ground, it’s crucial for Raiders to let go of past disputes when entering the arena. However, Speranza is here to remind us that we shouldn’t lose our sense of community in the pursuit of survival. Celeste emphasizes that, despite our rough surroundings in the Rust Belt, we still have a choice in how we act.

The Shared Watch is a yearly celebration aimed at uniting Raiders against our common foes while acknowledging those who look out for one another. Whether you choose to team up or go solo in taking down ARC, the spirit of the event is about camaraderie.

Exciting Developments

• Shared Watch Event
  • Join forces to battle the machines during this special event.
  • The event kicks off today and runs until February 24. Players can earn merits through combat, helping teammates, or damaging ARC. Keep in mind that merits won’t be awarded for player-versus-player actions. Bring some friends—or make new ones—and don’t forget to stockpile ammunition!
• Cold Snap Returns
  • Winter hasn’t left us yet in the Rust Belt—Cold Snap is back!
  • This seasonal condition applies to outdoor maps, stirring up both danger and rewards. Watch out for frostbite damage, which can cut your exploration short unless you seek shelter. However, for those willing to brave the cold, enhanced loot awaits! You can also gather Candleberries, which are now available outside of events, and even toss snowballs—use them wisely!
• New Cosmetics
  • Introducing the Vulpine set
  • Unveiling the Slugger set
