Additionally, you can find the new **Dweller Outfit** in the store. ##### **Matchmaking Update: Testing Defensive PvP** Over the past months, improving matchmaking has been one of our top priorities. We’ve introduced various adjustments and improvements based on your feedback & requests. Since our[ Notes on The Matchmaking System](https://arcraiders.com/news/notes-on-the-matchmaking-system), one change has stood out with the community: **defending yourself is no longer treated the same as starting a fight.** It meant self-defense still counted toward your playstyle estimate, but with much less weight than starting a fight. Your feedback was positive, and many of you have asked us to take it further. The most common follow-up request we've seen is to **remove the impact of Defensive PvP entirely** - going from reduced weight to none at all. Starting now, we're testing exactly that. During the test, only the fights you choose to start will influence your playstyle estimate, and defending yourself won't affect it at all. This includes knocking out enemies who attacked you first. So what counts as starting a fight, and what counts as defending yourself? Here's how the system reads an encounter: - **Who's defending:** If the other squad damages, downs, or knocks out any of your squadmates first, your whole squad counts as defending - the squad that strikes first is the one that started the fight. - **How it's weighed:** The more serious the encounter, the more it counts. A drawn-out firefight - with more damage dealt and raiders downed - weighs heavily, while a stray accidental hit or a brief exchange where the other squad flees after minimal damage still counts as starting a fight but weighs far less. - **Third-partying:** Jumping into a fight between other squads that's already underway counts as starting a fight, too. Over the coming weeks we'll monitor our matchmaking metrics, watch how PvP develops Topside, and gather your feedback. ##### **Matchmaking Changes: Follow-up** Two earlier changes are also still live: the[ Solo, Duo, and Trio matchmaking](https://arcraiders.com/news/live-update-1-36-0#solo-duo-and-trio-matchmaking) tracking from 1.36.0 and the[ matchmaking optimization](https://arcraiders.com/news/patch-notes-1-38-0#matchmaking-optimization) adjustments from 1.38.0. We're keeping a close watch on how both perform, but telemetry only tells us half the story - to get the full picture, we need to hear how your matches actually feel. The latest [matchmaking survey](https://id.embark.games/id/arc-raiders/survey) covers all of this, so take a minute to fill it out - your input is the other half, and it's what turns our data into better decisions. Thank you, Raiders! ##### **Reminder - ARC Raiders & THE FINALS Crossover ** Raiders & Contestants, don’t forget! You’ve got until July 30th at 3PM CEST to complete the required Contracts in THE FINALS and earn the Azimuth outfit & the Archaeologist Backpack bundle in ARC Raiders. Afterwards, we’re back to the Rust Belt! You’ll be able to earn the Azimuth bundle in THE FINALS by heading Topside and playing ARC Raiders. ##### **Bug Fixes & Content Updates** **Audio** - Improved footstep audio in water. - Added more distinct Dodge Roll sounds and variations. - Adjusted ambient audio for certain cinematics. **Cosmetics** - Fixed mislabeled customization toggles for the Blindspot Set. “No Headset” now controls the headset on Blindspot. - Updated customization toggles: The Triumph Set now uses Helmet Only; The Scorta Set now uses Gauntlet Off. - Updated Scorta outfit color names in the UI to better match the actual colors. - Fixed a missing UI string for a blue backpack cosmetic. **Gameplay** - _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1808500/view/716785482215722245]_ ### Store Update 1.38.0 - Date: 2026-07-21 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1808500/view/668371152183232376 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/arc-raiders/releases/steam-668371152183232376 - **added** — Added two new colors for the Torpedo set (Camo & Black), automatically granted to players who own the outfit - **changed** — Adjusted matchmaking algorithm to improve match quality, especially during low-population hours, in certain regions, or in specific map conditions - **changed** — Matchmaking algorithm may take longer to find matches as it prioritizes finding better quality matches Howdy Raiders! Store Update 1.38.0 is going live right now on all platforms. We’re bringing two new colors for the Torpedo set (Camo & Black), which you will receive automatically if you own the outfit. Same as before, you do not need to restart the game. The Expedition Departure is happening today as well! Good luck to everyone getting a fresh start. For those of you on your Fourth Expedition, we want to know which Mystery Rewards you’ve received! Need a reminder on how the Expedition works and what to expect? Here's our [latest Expedition article](https://arcraiders.com/news/the-fourth-expedition). ##### Matchmaking Optimization We've heard your feedback on matchmaking. It works well most of the time, but there is room for improvement — especially during low-population hours, in certain regions, or in specific map conditions. We’re working to improve those cases. Starting today, we'll be testing adjustments to our matchmaking algorithm aimed at improving the quality of your matches. One thing to note: the algorithm may take a little longer to find a match, since it's now working harder to find you a _better_ one. What does this mean for you? You should run into squads that match your playstyle and squad size even more consistently, making for more fair and enjoyable raids. As always, we'll be keeping a close eye on our matchmaking metrics and your feedback. We'll review these adjustments shortly and share where things land. Thanks for helping us make the matchmaking experience better for everyone.

We have an update regarding the Expedition-related issue where you could automatically be signed up for Departure if you had completed the associated Damage Challenge. We want to err on the side of caution. We will revert the Departure sign-up for players whose sign-up behavior appears representative of this issue. This may be done in several waves, starting **tomorrow, July 17 11:00 AM CEST**. **Throughout the weekend, please make sure to check the in-game Expedition tab and verify that it shows the correct information for your case. **If you had previously been signed up for departure automatically and this does not revert by the **end of day tomorrow**, please reach out to our [support team](https://id.embark.games/arc-raiders/support) as soon as possible. If you have changed your mind and want to depart, you can still opt in to do so. Additionally, Last Call will be available as usual for those of you who aren’t able to sign up for Departure before the deadline. We will be monitoring closely ahead of the Departure window closing and will continue working on a fix to prevent future instances of this issue. Thank you for your patience. //Raz ### Store Update 1.37.0 - Date: 2026-07-14 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1808500/view/690889040713482333 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/arc-raiders/releases/steam-690889040713482333 - **added** — Add two new colour variants for the Driftcoat outfit - black/green and red, automatically granted to players who already own the skin - **fixed** — Fix unintended effect from a collision change on Seeker Grenade projectiles that made the weapon feel weaker - **fixed** — Fix issue where players were automatically signed up for Departure after completing the Deal Damage challenge - **changed** — Continue enforcement actions against accounts that exploited the duplication glitch, including warnings for low-severity cases, removal of Coins and items, and suspensions for severe cases with significant economy impact Raiders! Store Update 1.37.0 is going live right now on all platforms with two new colour variants for the Driftcoat outfit - black/green and red. You will get them automatically if you already own the skin, no restart required. We have seen your feedback about the Seeker Grenade feeling weaker since last week’s update and we have been investigating the issue. We noticed an unintended effect from a collision change on the projectiles and the team is working on a fix - we will let you know as soon as it’s ready. We have also been looking into your reports of being automatically signed up for Departure after completing the “Deal Damage” challenge (reaching 100,000 damage dealt). This is unintentional, and we’re working on a fix. Following last week's fix for the duplication glitch, we've been banning accounts that gained a significant advantage from exploiting it. That effort continues this week, similarly to how we handled it in February: - Warnings for low-severity cases where abuse was limited. - Removal of Coins and items tied to exploit activity. - Suspensions for the severe cases, particularly, where exploit usage had a significant impact on the in-game economy or other players’ experience. Players who deliberately exploited the glitch but didn't gain a major advantage will not be suspended. And if you simply received a few items from someone who was duping, without knowingly exploiting the glitch yourself, you may receive a warning. Our goal is to only take action against those who significantly and deliberately abused the exploit, not to catch players who were incidentally affected. Thank you to everyone who reported the issue and continued to play according to the rules.

Your tentative alliance with the Nomads is progressing by the day. Nomads wander the streets of Speranza, bringing stories, valuable information, and loot to trade. As the ARC presence Topside ever increases in scale, making reliable friends has never been so important. The 1.36.0 update has just dropped, bringing bug fixes, QoL updates, matchmaking tweaks, new Expedition and Trials Season, and a crossover outfit from the virtual gameshow world of THE FINALS! ##### **What’s New?** - [Expedition 4](https://arcraiders.com/news/the-fourth-expedition) - Zenith Outfit - [Trials Season 5](https://arcraiders.com/news/trials-season-5) - Scorta Outfit - Solo, Duo, and Trio Matchmaking - ARC Raiders & THE FINALS Crossover - Store Update - The Triumph Set - Store Redesign ##### **Solo, Duo, and Trio Matchmaking** Following your feedback on the Matchmaking survey published in May, we have implemented one of the most requested matchmaking features: **We now track your playstyle separately for Solo, Duo, and Trio rounds, and match you accordingly.** Say you are a friendly solo player, but your two squadmates always want to dominate in trios PvP. Before, being friendly solo could push you into more cooperative trio rounds, and playing PvP-focused in a trio could push you into more PvP-focused solo rounds - so changing squad size meant matchmaking took a bit to adjust. Now, there's no overlap. You'll be able to go from friendly questing and plant-picking in Solo rounds to adrenaline-fueled PvP Trio games (if that's how you usually play in those respective cases), by simply changing your squad size. The same holds for Duo - all three are tracked on their own. ##### **ARC Raiders & THE FINALS Crossover** Complete a set of Contracts in THE FINALS and unlock the Azimuth outfit and Archeologist backpack bundle in ARC Raiders. Inspired by explorers, Raiders, and Contestants who dare to chase new horizons beyond the stratosphere. This promotion is available from July 9th 3pm CEST until July 30th 3pm CEST before we flip it around, letting you earn the Azimuth bundle in THE FINALS by playing ARC Raiders. See you in the Arena... and The Rust Belt! ##### **Bug Fixes & Content Updates** **ARC** - Significantly increased the value of loot dropped by ARC Turbines. - **Dev note:** We've heard your feedback that the ARC Turbine's loot was too low compared to the high effort required to take one down and we agree. That’s why we’ve decided to significantly increase the amount of loot from the ARC Turbine. Happy hunting! - Fixed an issue where the ARC Turbine would sometimes disappear right after spawning in. - Knockback from Queen & Matriarch stomps will no longer go through walls. **Cosmetic** - Fixed a clipping issue for the Marco Outfit. - Fixed an issue where the Bog Walker Set was missing new colour variants. - Over the next few days, we will be issuing refunds to those of you who paid additional Raider Tokens to unlock the new colors. This should be an automated process, and does not require you to do anything. **Items** - Weapons dropped on the ground now display their installed mods. - ARC Turbine parts will no longer drop from Couriers. - Higher-value items will now show up on the shelf in the Raider Den, even if you have large stacks of lower-value items that add up to a higher total value than the individual item. **Maps** - Fixed various spots where players could get stuck or clip through the terrain. - Fixed several locations where players fell through the terrain on The Dam close to spawn bunkers. **Quests** - Fixed an issue where the Quests tab could loop back to the 'Done' screen after claiming a reward and pressing ESC, preventing selection of a new quest. **Social** - The Emote Wheel now updates availability while open, making it clearer when an emote can be used. **UI** - Fixed some German localization issues. - Improved the Feeding Rewards section in the Scrappy Nest by removing the empty p _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1808500/view/708902764859621406]_ ### Store Update 1.35.0 - Date: 2026-06-30 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1808500/view/708901647665858613 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/arc-raiders/releases/steam-708901647665858613 - **added** — Two new colour variants (Blue Frost and Camo) for the Bogwalker Set are available in the shop, automatically granted to players who already own the set - **added** — Sirena Dorata ship models are available in Ermal's shop offerings this week - **changed** — Denuvo Anti-Cheat has been rolled out to all players Raiders!

We have completed our rollout of Denuvo Anti-Cheat to all players. We’re keeping a close eye on its impact and performance.

An unlikely partnership is forming in the Rust Belt. The Nomadic Envoys have recently arrived in Speranza, bringing information gathered on their travels through the Rust Belt. Maybe they have insight on why ARC operations seem to be spreading? Perhaps they’re willing to share what they know - but first, you’ll need to build some trust.

We plan to deliver a live update every three weeks. These will vary in size and scope, but we will use each one as an opportunity to address your feedback. In between these live updates, we will still be updating and hotfixing when needed, with store and Trials rotations every week.

This location has been abandoned twice: once during the Exodus, and once again by survivors of the First Wave, who failed to hold down the exposed settlement against ARC. From the fading resort to the towering dockyard, stake your claim and discover what treasures lie within. **NEW ENEMY: ARC TURBINE** Almost beautiful when silhouetted against the sunset, the **ARC Turbine** drifts across the Rust Belt. Calm, docile, quiet. That is until you get up close. Nobody knows quite what it’s doing, but if you try to interfere, you best be ready for a totally unique fight. Its defensive abilities are brutal, posing a new challenge to Raiders and demanding skill, patience, and nerves in equal measure. **NEW MINOR MAP CONDITION: BEACHCOMBING** Riven Tides introduces a new minor map condition: **Beachcombing**. Keep an eye out for the **Dockmaster's Detector** during a session and sweep it across the sand to uncover buried loot hidden beneath the surface. What you dig up will vary, just keep in mind that the richest hunting grounds are out in the open… **NEW ITEMS: CRASH MAT AND POWERED DESCENDER** Getting from A to B is never an easy feat in the Rust Belt, but it’s even harder when A is 100 feet high and B is the hard, splatty ground. With two new fall mitigation items, skillful Raiders can learn to defy gravity, as long as they remain focused. **NEW EVENT: LAST RESORT** Running through to **May 25**, the **Last Resort** event rewards you with Merits as your XP converts during play on any map. For bonus gains, hunt down miniature **Ship Models** hidden throughout the world, each one carrying a Merit value based on rarity. Rack up enough Merits to unlock three pages of rewards, including the **Junior Outfit**, **Hydrologist** backpack, **Hose** attachment, **Brass Faucet** charm, new emotes, and **250 Raider Tokens** in total. **NEW RAIDER PROJECT: AVIAN ALARM** The new **Avian Alarm** Raider project tasks you with building Bird Cages as a makeshift security system to sense tremors and atmospheric changes, deploying cages at buoys along the Riven Tides coastline. Work through all five stages to earn the **Dockmaster's Detector** (your key to Beachcombing), **Gel Patches**, the **Bird House** backpack attachment, the **Fist In Air** emote, and **250 Raider Tokens** in total. **NEW COSMETICS** Riven Tides brings a wave of new cosmetics, starting with two sets available on launch day. The **Solare Set** drapes you in ceremonial layers and woven fabrics, fitting attire for those who greet the sunrise like a ritual. The **Rachetta Set** throws subtlety overboard: bold colors, an athletic cut, and zero interest in camouflage for Raiders who rely on speed over stealth. See you beachside, Raiders! ### Riven Tides - Patch Notes Update 1.26.0 - Date: 2026-04-28 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1808500/view/531004183506059442 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/arc-raiders/releases/steam-531004183506059442 - **added** — Riven Tides map with shoreline, Exodus port, and Panorama Azzurro hotel locations - **added** — Beachcombing map condition exclusive to Riven Tides for searching buried treasure - **added** — ARC Turbine enemy type - **added** — Expedition Window feature - **added** — Epic Gadget: Powered Descender - **added** — Uncommon Throwable: Crash Mat - **added** — Common Deployable: White Flag - **added** — Common Gadget: Dockmaster's Detector - **added** — New Player Project: Avian Alarm - **added** — Last Resort Event for earning merits through collecting ship models and XP - **added** — Trials Season 4 with Solare Set and Rachetta Set - **added** — New Augment: Tactical Mk.3 (Smoke) - **added** — Repair on upgrade feature that repairs 25% of weapon maximum durability when upgrading - **changed** — Average durability on spawned weapons reduced from 50 to 30 - **changed** — Weapon durability loss on shot adjusted by rarity: common +75%, uncommon +50%, rare +35%, epic -5%, legendary -10% - **changed** — Durability loss on weapons of knocked out players reduced from 30% to 15% - **changed** — Removed Comets from standard sessions in Dam Battlegrounds - **changed** — Reduced Firefly presence heavily in Dam Battlegrounds - **changed** — Reduced Comet presence in Buried City - **changed** — Adjusted Exodus recyclables loot distribution in Stella Montis to be more evenly spread - **changed** — Vaporizer Regulator stack size increased from 1 to 3 - **changed** — Trigger 'Nade now has 1 second delay after throw and 1.3 second delay after trigger before allowing next action - **changed** — Photoelectric Cloak weight increased from 1 to 3 and power use rate increased from 2.5/s to 10/s Raiders, Scout reports have been returning from Riven Tides. Fragments of observation logs, faded photographs, and footage of the coast have finally made their way back to Speranza. It’s now time for you to check it out for yourself. Explore the abandoned shoreline, traverse the Exodus port, and experience the lost luxury of the Panorama Azzurro hotel. This is the Rust Belt, and it’s not going to be easy. Other Raiders are already on the scent of fresh loot, and a new floating ARC machine has been seen patrolling the skies. What it’s doing, and how to counter it, is for you to find out. --- ##### What’s New? - Riven Tides Map - Beachcombing Map Condition - New minor Map Condition, exclusive to Riven Tides - Search for buried treasure on the beaches of Riven Tides, just make sure you have the right tool for the job and be prepared for unexpected discoveries. - New Enemy - ARC Turbine - [Expedition Window](https://arcraiders.com/news/a-triumphant-exit) - New Items - Epic Gadget - Powered Descender - Uncommon Throwable - Crash Mat - Common Deployable - White Flag - Common Gadget - Dockmaster’s Detector - New Player Project - Avian Alarm - Last Resort Event: Earn merits by Collecting ship models and via XP across the different maps to earn rewards - "Wind Sprite" Ship Model - "Twilight Compass" Ship Model - "Velocity" Ship Model - "Sirena Dorata" Ship Model - "Leviathan's Crown" Ship Model - [Trials Season 4](https://arcraiders.com/news/quick-guide-to-trials-season-4) - The Solare Set - The Rachetta Set - New Augment: Tactical Mk.3 (Smoke) - **Dev note:** With the addition of another Tactical Augment in this patch it is worth stating that we are aware that some Augments, particularly the Combat Augments, are not performing as well in their roles as we would like. We are working on a general balancing pass for Augments to buff some of those that are underperforming, most especially the Combat Mk. 3 (Flanking) Augment which has yet to find its place to shine. It is also a goal to develop the full roster of Augments to ensure that all categories are well represented. [Check out the blog for more info!](https://arcraiders.com/news/riven-tides -) ##### **Patch Highlights:** - Trigger ‘Nade balancing - Repairing changes - Bettina Buff --- ## **Balance Changes** **Weapon Economy Adjustments** The weapon economy has increasingly started looking more and more unbalanced, where players engaging in heavy PVP have to make a lot of difficult decisions around their weapons while the most friendly players have ended up in a chronic state of weapon accumulation. We want to balance this out so that all players are challenged by weapon attrition, as well as introducing new ways to combat it. **New feature: Repair on upgrade** Weapon upgrading becomes very expensive when you feel like you have to repair the weapon beforehand, making it less accessible than we would like. To give more ways to repair low durability weapons and elevate the upgrade loop: - **Upgrading weapons will now repair 25% of the weapons max durability** ** Weapon drop & durability** We're reducing weapon spawn around the outskirts of the maps to increase value and tension of high tier areas and locked rooms. We're also increasing the range of durability a weapon can spawn with, as well as reducing the average outside of locked rooms. This should be easily recouped by the new repair on upgrade. - Avg durability on spawned weapons: 50 -> **30** These changes mean that you might find a weapon on the outskirts with 15 durability but will still find weapons around 60 durability in locked rooms. **Weapon durability loss on shot** We've heard a clear frustration that maintaining high tier weapons is very expensive compared to the lower tier ones. We want high tier weapons to have more longevity compared to low tier weapons, so we're adjusting durability loss on shot to match this: - Common weapons:** +75% durability loss on shot** - Uncom _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1808500/view/531004183506059442]_ ### Hotfix 1.25.0 - Date: 2026-04-21 - Original notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1808500/view/685251502317503577 - Permalink: https://whatsnew.fyi/product/arc-raiders/releases/steam-685251502317503577 - **fixed** — Fixed a PS5 crash - **fixed** — Fixed a duplication glitch Hello Raiders!

Update 1.20.0 is rolling out on all platforms, please restart your game to download. - Rawhide Outfit. - Two new haircuts. - Il Toro Balancing - **Dev Note:** This is an adjustment many of you requested. We have tuned the Il Toro to address its DPS and effectiveness at range, especially when combined with a choke. We're also making some changes so it performs more like a weapon of its rarity (less versatile at lower upgrade levels and more dependent on upgrades and mods). Most notably, fire-rate and reload time have been reduced, which will make it more important to fully utilize positioning, cover, and timing to defeat your opponents. We will of course continue to keep a close eye on this to see how it plays out in practice, and make additional adjustments when needed. Thank you for your feedback and patience! - Pellet Damage reduced from 7.5 to 7 - Base Fire-Rate reduced from 43 to 38 - Base Dispersion increased from 4.5 to 6 - Total Reload Time increased from 4.3s to 5.7s - Looping Reload Entry increased from 0.8s to 1s - Looping Reload Time increased from 0.5s to 0.7s - Damage loss from Falloff increased from 40% to 50% - Fixed an issue that would cause persistent audio from destroyed Comets and Fireballs. - Fixed an issue where players could get pushed through the wall and stuck on the Dam Controlled Access Zone. - Fixed missing collision issues near the east elevator and under pipes on Spaceport. - Reduced Energy Clips sell price from 1000 to 200 coins. - **Dev note:** Energy Clips have unintentionally become a very profitable craft, so we are reducing the sell price to make the value profitability in line with other crafts.
