News from the Rust Belt: Server Slam, Pre-Orders, and more!
From October 17th-19th, we’re running a three-day Server Slam Open Test. It’s one final opportunity to get your hands on ARC Raiders before launch. Get your Squad together and mark your calendars. The Rust Belt is calling!
We’ve decided to give you another scuffle on the surface and a chance to hop in and experience the game one more time before launch! Scavenge for loot, take a chance on an encounter with another Raider, and try to thin the ARC numbers a little.
This event will bring you to the Dam Battlegrounds where you’ll experience elements of progression and crafting while completing a set of quests to provide you with a little taste of the ARC Raiders experience, while saving some surprises for the full launch. We’ll be stress-testing the servers during the event to get everything running smoothly before it all kicks off on October 30, so please invite your friends and give those servers a challenge!
No codes this time. Everyone’s welcome. The Server Slam will be live on all platforms (Steam, Epic Games, PS5, Xbox X|S) and access will roll out slowly on day one. Progress made during the Slam will not carry over to the launch version of the game. Participating Raiders will, however, get a Server Slam Exclusive backpack to always signify that they were part of this historic moment, delivered to you after purchasing the full game at launch.
Be on the lookout for more info as we get closer to October 17. Watch our socials and join the Official Discord for more information! Rally your crew, grab your gear, and get ready to go Topside and scavenge!
If you’ve been in Speranza before, it’s time to return and bring your whole crew. If you’re a first-time Raider, an Embark ID will be created for you automatically when you launch ARC Raiders. You’ll also be prompted to enter and confirm your email address. While email confirmation isn’t required to play, you’ll need to confirm it in order to claim your exclusive Server Slam backpack reward at launch. You need to be 16+ to participate in Server Slam, terms apply.
Want to get a head start? You can create a new Embark ID or link to an existing one ahead of time at the Embark Portal.
The world above is waiting, Raider. See you on the 17th.
Come and see us at TwitchCon San Diego!
During the Server Slam, we’ll be pulling double duty at TwitchCon 2025 in San Diego.
Take a break from shooting & looting in the Server Slam, and catch the team on the show floor at San Diego Convention Center, October 17-19!
Play the game in the booth, pick up some swag (while supplies last), and meet some of the talented people behind ARC Raiders. We’ll also conduct a panel that you can attend in person or watch online! Whether you show up in the flesh or join us digitally, watch our socials for more details!
