Embark Updates Arc Raiders with PvE Event, New Rewards, and Bug Fixes
Embark Studios has rolled out update 1.15.0 for Arc Raiders, introducing a new PvE event called the Shared Watch, alongside notable bug fixes. This update arrives ahead of the anticipated Shrouded Sky content drop set for February 2026.
Significant Features of Update 1.15.0
Shared Watch Event
The Shared Watch event is the standout feature, encouraging players to collaborate against the Arc. This limited-time event runs from February 10 to February 24, 2026. Raiders can earn merits by teaming up and taking down enemies, with rewards including:
- Tools like the Vita Spray and an acoustic guitar.
- Permanent unlocks, including the Slugger set.
- A novelty rooster-sized helmet for Scrappy.
Importantly, merits can only be earned through PvE interactions; PvP encounters do not count.
Return of the Cold Snap
Additionally, the Cold Snap map condition is back, affecting outdoor maps. This winter-themed condition offers a mix of advantages and dangers, including:
- Frostbite damage for players unprepared for the cold.
- Increased loot value for those who brave the elements.
- Snowball collection for added fun.
Balance Changes and Bug Fixes
The update also includes impactful balance changes. The Trailblazer grenade has been adjusted, reducing its damage against larger enemies like Leapers and Bastions. Players may appreciate the more reliable weapon cycling fixes, which ensure better keybinding effectiveness.
Embark Studios addressed the infamous duplication glitch, which allowed players to hoard items illegitimately. Along with this fix, the studio warned that players found exploiting this issue could face penalties.
Future Outlook and Roadmap
As part of its ongoing Escalation roadmap, Embark has plans to introduce new Arc threats and game features by the end of April. The next Expedition is set to launch on February 25, bringing adjustments in response to player feedback.
