ARC Raiders Introduces Shared Watch Event to Boost Cooperation, Announces Embark Studios
Embark Studios has announced a new initiative for its game, ARC Raiders. The development team recognizes the growing tension among players who either fight gigantic ARC machines or hunt rival players. To address this disparity, the studio is launching a Unique Shared Watch Event aimed at promoting player cooperation.
ARC Raiders Shared Watch Event Details
The Shared Watch Event will run from February 10 to February 24. During this period, players are encouraged to collaborate against the ARC threat. The initiative rewards players who focus on battling ARC units instead of competing against fellow players.
Incentives for Cooperation
Participants in this event will earn various rewards by working together. These rewards include:
- Unlocking new cosmetic items.
- Gaining Raider Tokens.
- Progressing towards a special cosmetic set called The Slugger.
To unlock these rewards, players must accumulate Merits through experience points (XP) earned by damaging and destroying ARC enemies. The underlying goal is to promote a collaborative environment where players focus on the common enemy, the ARC machines.
The Goal of the Event
Embark Studios aims to make cooperation feel rewarding rather than obligatory. The hope is that offering enticing loot as motivation will lead some players, particularly those frustrated with player-versus-player (PVP) encounters, to engage more with the game. The outcome of this event will reveal if this approach attracts more players and enhances the community experience.
Gameplay Accessibility
ARC Raiders is available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game supports cross-play, allowing users to collaborate or compete with friends across different systems.
As the Shared Watch Event commences, players will be eager to see how this strategy impacts gameplay dynamics. Embark Studios provides a fresh perspective on fostering cooperation among players in ARC Raiders.
