An unprecedented disruption has drawn dangers to the Rust Belt unlike anything we’ve seen before. Raiders forge a way to the icy region of Pendola Pass in a last-ditch attempt to get the Rust Belt out of ARC’s line of fire.New Map: Pendola PassCeleste and Shani have triangulated the source of the strange signal that’s been ringing across Toledo. All signs point toward an old Italian village and Exodus transport hub called Pendola Pass. Icy mountain air preserves Pendola Pass in its eerie grasp. Pendola Pass is our most complex map to date, with a strong focus on vertical terrain and dynamic encounters such as the new Flash Freeze weather condition. Points of interest include a supermarket, town square, observatory, and buried train depot. The map is designed to be a mix of challenging open spaces and densely structured buildings with multiple points of entry.Above all else lies the reason Raiders have been called to Pendola Pass - an ARC Emperor has fallen. Rare technology lies within for bold Raiders clever enough to find a way inside. FrigateA fallen Emperor is unprecedented, and ARC are quick to react. They’re sending one of their largest vessels to patrol the area - Raiders have started calling it the Frigate. The Frigate presents a substantial challenge to highly skilled Raiders. After finding a way to get on board the colossal airborne carrier, you’ll need to navigate its internal passageways, unlock paths, and defend yourself against ARC new and old. It’s designed as a very high-risk, high-reward encounter with surprises in store for even the most seasoned Raiders. For that reason, we’re going to leave things here and not spoil the experience!New Enemy: BullyBully by name, bully by nature: our new machine-learned enemy is an oppressive, aggressive beast that cedes no ground as it gallops upon your position and fights with a host of lethal attacks. Use cover, time your response, and hit your shots; the Bully is quick on its feet and unhinged in its quest.New Enemy: SkulkerIn contrast to the Bully, the Skulker is opportunistic, lying in wait and skirting the edges of your vision to get the drop and unleash a flurry of blows. This is one you’ll want to keep an eye on as a momentary distraction will see it retreat out of sight - the next time you see it, you’ll be feeling it too. New Enemy: HydraThis enemy may not traverse, but it sure does move. Split into three stacked and autonomous portions, the Hydra is a turret that can handle entire squads with its triple-threat of weaponry. Found upon the Frigate, the Hydra will require a tactical approach in which Raiders divert attention, find cover quickly, and attack rapidly when the moment arises. Raider Den Extension: OutpostCeleste is offering Raiders who heed her call to explore Pendola Pass a home away from home: the Outpost. Nestled between the Rust Belt and the perilous mountain range, the Outpost is the first step to reclaiming parts of the surface. Customize your new home with different modules and embellish the interiors with furniture. Investigate new elements of the world using the Research Workstation which will allow you to access higher levels of weapon customization and modding, preparing you for the journey beyond the mountain. The Outpost is the start of a feature we hope to develop much further, eventually giving players a deeply personal space that allows them to become the Raider they want to be.Amplified WeaponsWe wanted to systemically change how you interact with combat in the late game. Frozen Trail introduces an upgrade system called Weapon Amplification which totally reimagines some of the guns you’re already used to. Using the new Research Workstation in your Raider Outpost, you’ll be able to unlock a branching path of abilities and enhancements to your weapons that can completely change their behavior; imagine a fully-automatic Burletta, a Renegade with a scope, or a Rattler with incendiary bullets and a 64 bullet drum magazine.The hope is that this feature allows late-game players to reinvent their arsenal and personalize their weapons with high-tier upgrades that set them apart from the crowd. The feature is rolling out to 15 of our weapons, with more planned for the future.New Weapon: StilettoThe Stiletto is a light-ammo battle rifle that fits in as an early-game alternative to the Renegade. Cheap to craft and easy to wield, it’s the perfect choice for Raiders with a steady shot looking to attack from distance. Fire rate can be fast, but button mashing will sacrifice accuracy - keep a cool head and hit your shots. New Weapon: BantamThe Bantam is a snub-nosed revolver that uses heavy ammo to punch a hole straight through your adversaries. Effective against ARC and Raiders, the Bantam comes with a unique hip-fire capability to help you live out the cowboy fantasy… even if you’ve got frozen fingers. Grappling HookIt’s important for us to focus on gadgets and items that offer new ways to play and fresh modes of traversal. That’s where the Grapple Hook comes in, letting you climb hard to reach spots, abseil off buildings, and swing over large gaps. Raiders who get creative will find themselves able to navigate the terrain in totally new ways. TethersAs part of our larger system of tethers and constraints, we’ve built two new gadgets that let you trip up your enemies. The Tether Launcher allows you to connect two separate points with a wire, rooting them in place for easy pickings or even attaching Raiders to ARC and watching as they’re dragged away. The Yank Grenade works on the same principle, but when it explodes, it pulls a nearby target with a violent force. This is perfect for smashing flying ARC to the ground or pulling other Raiders out of cover. CameraThe Rust Belt is home to many DIY photographers and Topside journalists. Using the humble Binoculars, we’ve seen beautiful pictures from your Raids - that’s why we’re introducing a fully-functioning camera gadget. This launches with a range of features including zoom, aperture, manual and automatic focus racking, and even a selfie mode with a range of custom emotes. Pictures will save to your Codex, letting you relive your most triumphant moments from the safety of your home. InstrumentsTwo new instruments can be heard Topside this October, the Harmonica, and the Banjo (Blueprint offered in the Collector Set DLC). Bring the sounds of southern swamps to the Rust Belt this fall - It’s time to get the band back together!Weapon StencilsRe-skin your weapon with a pinch of Raider flair using the new Weapon Stencils coming in the Frozen Trail update! Leave enemies in no doubt who shot them, but beware - Raiders who best you will be more than happy to take your personalized weapon for themselves. Reward Pass SystemReward Passes are a natural evolution of Raider Decks, with some added benefits. They’re a progression mechanic that allows players to complete Feats to unlock unique and useful rewards. Two Reward Passes will release with the Frozen Trail update. The Frozen Trail Reward Pass contains 60 levels to progress, with both a Free and Premium option. Free Pass - This track includes all the new base outfits, plus new cosmetic items, weapons, gadgets, items, and a total of up to 200 Raider Tokens.Premium Pass - This offers a little bit extra. With this option, players will unlock all the premium toggles, modifications, and colorways for the new outfits. It also contains exclusive legendary weapon stencils, hairstyles, and a total of up to 1,150 Raider Tokens when completed. Two things to note: the Premium Pass doesn’t contain items that benefit gameplay (like weapons or gadgets) like the Free Pass does. Also, the Premium Pass can be obtained for 1,150 Raider Tokens, so completing it means an opportunity to earn back the currency it takes to obtain it. The Legacy Reward Pass combines all of the cosmetic rewards and Raider Tokens in Raider Decks into a single Free Pass. If you earned these in the past, they’ll be kept and remain unlocked in the Legacy Reward Pass. Progressing the Legacy Reward Pass will otherwise earn all the rewards you weren’t able to get your hands on in the old Raider Deck system. Frozen Trail Collector Set DLCFor those Raiders that want the full Frozen Trail experience, the Collector Set DLC includes a new cosmetic set, the Renzo, Dragon’s Breath Weapon Stencil, Bob Hair Style, and 2,400 Raider Tokens. It also grants access to the Frozen Trail Premium Reward Pass! It also comes with an exclusive Retro Sofa for your Raider Outpost and is the only way to get a blueprint for the new Banjo musical instrument.Check out the Collector Set DLC on Steam now, and see the available cosmetics and rewards for yourself!See you TopsideThere’s even more you’ll discover in Frozen Trail that we haven’t mentioned here, including new questlines and improvements, a Skill Tree rework including new and improved skills, and a new Map Condition called Redirection. Gear up. Dress warm. See you Topside!The ARC Raiders Team

Hey Raiders, Aleks here. Ahead of our big update on October 8, I wanted to talk directly about something that has been frustrating for the community and our team: cheating. Cheating undermines what makes ARC Raiders challenging and fun, and disrupts the experience for everyone playing fairly. At Embark, we take it incredibly seriously, and spend a lot of time and money in the ongoing fight against unfair play. The market for cheats is constantly evolving. Cheat makers profit from selling to players, often bundling malware with their software, and every time we improve our defenses, they adapt and find new ways around them. We adapt too. Our growing anti-cheat team is continually working to detect and block new cheats, close the pathways they exploit, and add obstacles that make cheating harder and less worthwhile. It's work we're committed to for as long as our games are live.We’ve shared some of this work through occasional updates, but we know that simply saying we’re working on it isn’t enough. Some of this is intentional, as sharing too much about our anti-cheat systems can make it easier for cheaters to adapt. Other times we are working on things in the background and testing them before they get deployed.Do know that our silence is not indifference to the issue. And today, we're going to give you a better sense of where we’ve made progress and where we’re continuing to invest our efforts.DetectionOur cheat detection systems are getting considerably stronger month by month. In addition to kernel-level protection from Denuvo and detections from Anybrain, we’re using a growing set of in-house models built around machine-learning and other data.These systems work together to identify suspicious behavior and build confidence before action is taken, while allowing us to continue improving detection as new cheats emerge. Anti-cheat systems don’t function completely autonomously, and there is always a human in the loop through the appeals process to ensure we are deploying sanctions fairly. Long-term, we’re looking to incorporate additional anti-cheat capabilities, including Elytra, which is currently being tested on a small scale in THE FINALS. Early results indicate that this system has promise, and we’re working toward a point where we can test it in ARC Raiders as well. Taking actionWhen we have enough evidence that a player is cheating, we take action. In recent months, we’ve improved our ability to identify and sanction accounts using popular cheat software, as well as accounts involved in economy exploits. We’ve also continued working to make it harder for repeat offenders to simply create a new account and return to the game. Early on, we were overly cautious about applying permanent bans to first-time cheaters. We’ve heard the frustration from the community, and we agree that we should have handled this differently. Permanent bans are now standard for all known cheat programs and, as a matter of policy, any account caught using cheats is permanently banned. No warnings, no second chances.We’ve also recently broadened our use of license restrictions. These prevent a specific copy of the game associated with a sanction from being used with another account. We’ve tightened our approach to linked accounts as well. If an account has ever been associated with a banned copy of the game, it will also receive a permanent ban. Hardware bansHardware bans are another part of our sanctions. When we have enough evidence that a single machine is being used for cheating, we can prevent the game from running on that system. We constantly harden our detection capabilities and we were recently able to lower the threshold at which these types of bans are applied.We are also actively working on a solution to increase the number of systems that we can target with a hardware ban. This should reduce the number of repeat offenders returning on the same systems. We hope to implement this later in the year, and it should allow us to deploy sanctions to almost all systems caught running cheat software. It’s important to note that hardware bans are not a silver bullet, and cheat makers constantly find ways to circumvent our restrictions. Our job, as always, is to deploy fixes as quickly as possible to ensure hardware bans are as reliable and effective as possible.Why some bans aren’t immediateWe know it can be frustrating to watch hackers streaming or posting footage of themselves cheating without immediately being banned. Anti-cheat systems can’t simply ban a player the moment something looks suspicious. Doing so would create the risk of incorrectly banning legitimate players. The system analyzes behavior over multiple instances to give us a high-degree of certainty that fair play is compromised. Once this is determined, a permanent ban is issued.Our team also personally moderates videos and streams that clearly violate our policies. We regularly review footage posted to YouTube and other platforms and take action when it provides clear evidence of cheating. So if you see a clip of someone cheating online, know that we may already be taking action behind the scenes. Tackling other forms of unfair playCheating isn’t the only way players can disrupt a fair raid.Queue teaming, where players coordinate to land in the same solo lobby and attack Raiders who queued alone, has been another major frustration in the community. We have spent months building our detection capabilities to the point that we can reliably identify teaming groups. A few days ago, we started keeping known teaming groups apart in matchmaking. Five days later, we saw 85% fewer players engaging in this behavior. Spoiled raids dropped from around 1 in 50 to 1 in 300, with no meaningful impact to queue times. Teaming up with someone you meet during a raid through proximity chat is still fair game. What we're targeting is coordinating with another player before the raid begins specifically to gain an unfair advantage in a solo lobby. We’re always investigating ways to reduce matchmaking abuse and use the information we gather to improve the experience for fair-playing Raiders. We’re making great progress with this so far and will fill you all in with further developments.An ongoing fightVideo game cheating is a multi-billion dollar industry, and it will never fully go away. What we can do is make cheating as difficult, costly, and short-lived as possible. We built ARC Raiders with love and dedication to the craft, and seeing it exploited by cheaters makes us as angry as it makes you. We are making progress, and we’re continuing to work to identify cheating more effectively, act on it more quickly, make it harder for repeat offenders to return, and improve the experience for Raiders who are playing fairly.The work continues, we've been seeing results, and we'll keep you updated as we make further progress. Thanks for listening,AleksExecutive Producer, ARC Raiders

Hey there, Raiders! Update 1.47.0 is underway, bringing two new color variants for the Riposta Set, an update on Fair Play & a few more fixes & improvements. A download is required, so make sure you do that before loading back in. Highlights: Frozen Trail - First Look coming September 23rd!New Camo & White variants for the Riposta SetAn update on our ongoing Fair Play effortsFixes for the Rawhide Outfit, Keyboard Input issues and the occasional invisible doorExpedition 5 Sign-Up Reminder Frozen Trail is coming - tune in for a First Look! In case you missed it, we’ll be holding a First Look at Frozen Trail and what’s coming with the update tomorrow! On September 23rd, at 10am PDT (7pm CEST), tune in for an extended peek at our biggest update yet. Can’t wait to hear what you think! We’ve got more planned ahead of October 8th, stay tuned. Content and Bug Fixes CosmeticFixed an issue where the Rawhide outfit’s headgear would remain on when toggled off in Customization.GameplayDoor blockers will no longer create a copy of their mesh on the opposite side from the direction they are applied.Fixed an issue where keyboard input could stop working after launching unfocused or returning from background, ensuring keyboard controls reliably respond when refocusing the window.Fixed an issue where doors could become out of sync in some cases, making them appear open to the player whilst actually being closed.Fixed an issue where swapping or splitting items could place them into incompatible containers (such as forcing non-quick-use items into the belt), and added safeguards against invalid inventory slot indexing in the inventory.Maps Buried CityFixed an issue where lighting in Buried City could appear overly dark or missing, improving overall visibility.Riven TidesFixed visual issues that could appear while traversing Riven Tides.GeneralFixed an issue where objects in the world displayed incorrect colors, restoring items like red lockers, toolboxes, office chairs, cars, chests, and shipping containers to their intended appearance.PerformanceFixed an issue where item tooltips in the inventory could keep data from previous screens, increasing memory use over time and affecting stability after long play sessions.StabilityImproved crash detection & diagnostics tools.Fixed a rare crash that could occur during server shutdown, improving overall stability.Fixed an Xbox issue that could cause resource conflicts.PS5Addressed a frequent crash on PS5 related to the physics engine.InventoryImproved stability when opening the Inventory screen.UIExpeditionThe Expedition Project button now indicates when an Expedition is paused after the cutoff date and prevents committing resources.Skill TreeChanged Skill Point assignment to hold-to-assign by default in the Skill Tree. A Quick Update on Fair Play Efforts While our dev team is hard at work putting the finishing touches on Frozen Trail, our Anti-Cheat team is making constant updates and improvements across the board to our Fair Play initiatives. When it comes to economy-related manipulation, there have been several ban waves for accounts we detected exhibiting "bot-like" behavior. We’ll continue to track and refine our detection to cover broader types of suspect behavior (such as XP farming) in the future, as well. We also continue sanctioning abnormally high-value item transfers. Item duplication is also on our minds, and we’re seeing positive outcomes following this summer’s ongoing improvements on that front. We are constantly working on ways to prevent serial cheaters and discourage them from returning. Currently, we're strengthening our policies when it comes to shared licenses and how those are restricted when an account is sanctioned. In practice, this will make it harder for cheaters who were detected on one account to purchase another. Keeping track of a cheater's behavior before and after receiving a sanction helps us anticipate it and act faster in the future. Previously, we mentioned the speed of action against unfair play is important to us. To that end, we have been improving our detection systems and we are extending first-strike permanent bans. This allows us to catch offenders much quicker with a very high degree of confidence. While we keep improving and expanding the ways we keep Topside fair, we want to thank you for helping us do that by reporting players and sharing any illicit behavior with us. Reminder - Claim your Rubber Ducks!Heads up! After October 8th, the inbox message that contains the community-made Rubber Ducks will no longer be sent out. Make sure to log in and claim them before that deadline. Wouldn’t wanna miss out on those awesome ducks! Expedition 5 - Departure Window closes September 29th Make sure to finish up your Expedition project and sign up for Departure before September 29th 10am CEST/8am UTC/1am PT. There is no Last Call this time around, so be mindful of that! We know that a few of you are having issues with the Departure screen. If you are experiencing issues confirming your sign-up for departure, please reach out to support as soon as possible. You can do so here. Known Issues We are deploying multiple stability improvements targeting Xbox Series X|S crashes. Please report any persistent issues to help guide further fixes. There are future improvements in the works for the Quick Wheel’s behavior to prevent inaccurate switching or “jumping” from one item slot to the other.The weapon swap animation may appear broken if weapon swapping right after vaulting.Player animations may appear broken when interrupting a search of the Baron Husk.Shredders float to the ceiling in some rooms of the Hidden Bunker.Leapers can jump through the ARC Turbine.Shots taken while riding ARC may not register correctly.The player's character may stutter / jitter after being revived.The Matriarch may occasionally not use all of its ranged attacks.The player's footsteps are inaudible during constant shoulder swap while sprinting.Players can sometimes get stuck on obstacles while sliding downhill.When using keyboard layouts other than US English, custom keybindings reset after every raid.In some instances, long lists of text can disappear when scrolling through them.

Raiders!Update 1.45.0 is going live right now and with it a number of fixes, a new Raider Project, the start of the fifth Expedition, the Hornet Hunter Set and changes coming to Cred. Make sure to restart the game to get the download.This will be our last Live Update before October 8, but we won't be going quiet in the meantime, a smaller update is still planned before then! HIGHLIGHTSRaider Project: Ascending the MountainThe Hornet Hunter SetCred ExpirationExpedition 5Community Rubber Ducks Forging the Way NorthRaider efforts have revealed clues to the mystery of phantom ARC signals that have Shani concerned. Unfortunately, these signals lead ARC to a place we can’t follow - the mountain range just beyond the reach of our Tube system. Rumor has it Apollo’s working on an experimental solution, and he’s requested assistance from Raiders who understand schematics, and can keep their heads down. Cred ExpirationAs we look ahead to Frozen Trail and a rework to Raider Decks, we’ll be making changes to the Cred currency. It will remain usable until October 8, so be sure to use any remaining Cred before then. We are retiring Cred as a currency, as we’ll be introducing a more expansive reward system launching with the Frozen Trail Update. All existing Raider Deck rewards will also be available in the new system. You will keep any rewards you have already claimed at the time of the update. Any Cred remaining on your account will expire with the Frozen Trail update, so please be sure to spend your Cred with Shani or on any remaining Raider Deck rewards. Community Rubber DucksThe community designed duckies that you have selected have finally made their way into the game! Head on over to Bird City and display them proudly in your Raider Den! Again, huge congratulations to the designers: gekko.rar, im_AshCheeks and nassguhl! Content and Bug FixesARCSnitch Scanners will now spawn ARC similarly to the regular Snitch, but with a lower chance for stronger ARC.AudioFixed an issue where the Equalizer could play its firing sound effect when holstering.Fixed an issue where voice chat did not work when Raider Voice was enabled. CustomizationFixed an issue where the Rawhide headgear would stay on with the toggle set to off.The Boonie outfit will be available from September 15th.Gameplay Landing on moving surfaces will now make you follow that surface when landing, not while still in the air.You can now rebind quick item cycling separately from the quick-use wheel (or disable cycling), and you may bind both to the same key. This helps prevent unintended item swaps after closing the wheel.Fixed an issue where ARC Turbine mines could not be pinged.Reduced weapon sway for Aphelion to improve aiming stability.Starting an Expedition no longer resets your quests by default; you can now choose whether to reset them when departing.Fixed an issue where the Matriarch’s stomp could damage players through tall cover or when standing on top of the Matriarch.Added a new severe over-encumbrance tier when carrying well above your loadout weight limit: movement is restricted to walking, and sprinting and jumping are disabled. Stability Fixed a crash on PS5 that could occur shortly after starting a session.Fixed a crash that could occur when rapidly pressing certain keys during gameplay.Fixed cases where a squad could become stuck after a squadmate signed out and rejoined, blocking ready-up and preventing matchmaking from starting. PerformanceUpgraded Unreal Engine from 5.3 to 5.7.UIThe UI indicator showing the current weight of your loadout is now updated directly when dropping parts of a stack.Added visual tweaks to selected nodes in the Skill Tree.Fixed an issue where some distance based map markers didn't appear correctly.The pick up prompt will now show “loadout full” while trying to pick up an item with a full inventory.Improved matchmaking error messaging: you’ll now see clearer explanations if you go offline while queuing or if your crossplay settings are incompatible, helping diagnose failed matchmaking attempts.KNOWN ISSUESThe second part of the Phantom Targets project could not be started for some players. We will be sending out compensation in a future update.There are multiple stability improvements targeting Xbox Series S crashes. Please report any persistent issues to help guide further fixes. We’re aware of issues with crashing on PC, related to Windows Update KB5121003. Please consult our workaround shared here while we work on a fix.Players on Epic may experience a sudden loss of keyboard input.While we look into this, we recommend disabling any Overlay you may have active. Additionally, you can try alt-tabbing out and back into the game.The throw animation may sometimes fail to play when attempting to detonate a Trigger ‘Nade immediately after throwing it.The weapon swap animation may appear broken if weapon swapping right after vaulting.Player animations may appear broken when interrupting a search of the Baron Husk.Shredders float to the ceiling in some rooms of the Hidden Bunker.Leapers can jump through the ARC Turbine.Shots taken while riding ARC may not register correctly.Some doors may allow player flashlights’ beams to pass through instead of blocking the emitted light.We are aware of some clipping issues with the Triumph, Reaver and Azimuth outfits.See you Topside,//Ossen
