    Raiders! Update 2.3 is rolling out right now with the Noxious Set, a number of fixes and a new player project! Please restart the game to download. Since Frozen Trail has released, we have been including fixes in our weekly updates. After today we will go back to the regular schedule of fixes every three weeks and store updates on a weekly basis. New Player Project: Souls OfferingWhile the four contradas of Toledo can’t agree on much, one thing they all have in common are the losses they’ve suffered topside. As brutal stories from Pendola Pass trickle into the cantinas, Celeste is encouraging members of Speranza to pause and honor the fallen. Remember each fallen Raider for who they were, and the dents they were able to make in ARC’s onslaught. Each offering is unique, but all who pause in reverence share in their Soul’s Offering. Content and Bug FixesARCAdjusted loot distribution in the Emperor. Containers near the entrance now yield lower-tier rewards, with higher-tier loot placed deeper inside. Fixed a case where rolling enemies would continue to lay tracks after they died. Improved the way ARC move when they are close to the borders of the map. Fixed an issue where players could stand on the Skulker indefinitely. Adjusted Vaporizer debris so they no longer fly away or jitter; responses now better match their weight and size. Added new visual hatches to make it easier to see how far the Frigate puzzle has progressed. Fixed missing collision on the Frigate that allowed players to enter or hide inside geometry, and prevented players getting stuck on the wings.…

ARC Raiders 1.47.0: Riposta Variants, Fair Play Update, and a Frozen Trail Tease

Update 1.47.0 for ARC Raiders is live and requires a fresh download before loading in. The headline addition is cosmetic: two new color variants — Camo and White — for the Riposta Set. Beyond that, the patch is largely a round of fixes with a brief note on the studio's ongoing Fair Play efforts.

What changed

Cosmetic

  • Two new Riposta Set variants added: Camo and White
  • Fixed the Rawhide outfit's headgear persisting visually after being toggled off in Customization

Gameplay

  • Door blockers no longer duplicate their mesh on the opposite side from application
  • Doors could appear open to a player while actually being closed — that sync issue is resolved
  • Keyboard input could stop responding after launching unfocused or returning from background; this is now fixed
  • Item swapping or splitting could force incompatible items into containers (e.g., non-quick-use items into the belt); safeguards have been added

Maps

  • Buried City: Fixed lighting that appeared overly dark or absent, improving visibility
  • Riven Tides: Resolved visual artifacts during traversal
  • General: Objects displaying incorrect colors — red lockers, toolboxes, office chairs, cars, chests, and others — have been restored to their correct appearance

Looking ahead, Embark has announced a "Frozen Trail" First Look stream for September 23rd at 10am PDT, with more information expected before October 8th — though no specifics about Frozen Trail's contents appear in this patch note.

For players frustrated by the invisible-door bug or unreliable keyboard controls, 1.47.0 addresses both directly.

ARC Raiders 1.40.0 Adds Phantom Targets Event and Volare Colour Variants

Store Update 1.40.0 is live for ARC Raiders, bringing cosmetic additions, a new in-game event, and a cross-promotion with Embark's other title, THE FINALS.

What changed

  • Two new colour variants — black and yellow — added for the Volare outfit
  • Phantom Targets event launched: repair faulty Antennas to triangulate signals and engage ARC with "unconventional strategies" in Part 1 of the new Phantom Targets Player Project
  • Part 2 of the Phantom Targets Project is stated to arrive with the 1.42 Update on August 18, alongside a dedicated Phantom Targets Event
  • Embark Summer Celebration cross-promotion: playing three hours of ARC Raiders earns the Azimuth outfit in THE FINALS
  • Tick Hunter Set wishlisting is open on Steam; the bundle — containing four outfit colourways, a backpack, backpack charm, face style, and 2,400 Raider Tokens — is listed as available on all storefronts from August 18

Known issues

The team has acknowledged reports of Queen and Matriarch stomp damage passing through walls and triggering at excessive range. A fix is described as "in the works." Separately, launch errors affecting some PC players are also under investigation; no timelines were given for either fix.

For players tracking the event roadmap, August 18 is the next meaningful date — both for the second Project chapter and the Tick Hunter bundle's release.
