Duo Matchmaking and Store Update

12. November 2025

Hello Raiders,

Here’s a quick update on a few areas of discussion in the community, and the actions we’ve taken.

Duo Matchmaking

We have silently tested and enabled Duo prioritized matchmaking, beginning earlier this week. Duo matchmaking will work like this: first, we prioritize Solos and Squads to play separately. After that, we prioritize Duos to play with other Duos, and for Trios to play with Trios. Please note that this is not a 100% guaranteed system, so you may at times run into differing constellations of players other than your own.

Store Cosmetic Prices

We have heard your feedback. We’ve reviewed our prices and made adjustments to lower prices where applicable. Revised prices will go live tomorrow, Thursday the 13th, at 10:30 CET. For any Raider who has already made a purchase on the old pricing, we’ll compensate you for the difference. These Raider Tokens will be refunded back into your account automatically in the coming week.

Raider Decks

At the moment, we have one free Raider Deck available for all players. In the future you’ll see both free and premium Raider Decks. Important things to note:

  • Gameplay Items are only in free Raider Decks. To help you along the way as a new Raider, we have included some Gameplay Items in the free Raider Deck, which can be unlocked via progression.
  • There are no Pay to Win items in the premium Raider Decks. The focus for premium Decks are based on cosmetics and convenience.

For more details on what’s to come for ARC Raiders, be sure to check out the 2025 Roadmap. We will continue to build and adjust the game with you in mind, so thank you for your feedback!
