October 8, 2026

Raiders,

The Frozen Trail update is now live! Update your game and take your first frosted steps upon Pendola Pass.

Get all the details of the update in our Patch Notes!

Beyond the Rust Belt

The Ballistic Gondolas are up and running. Shani has given the go ahead. It’s time for Raiders to ascend the mountain and start making tracks through Pendola Pass.

You are part of a pioneering group of Raiders, the first to go beyond the Rust Belt and explore the region of Pendola Pass. Hard facts about what lies beyond the mountain ridge are hard to come by. All you know is one of the Emperors is down, and ARC are responding.

The ARC response

Rare tech lies within the collapsed husk, as it does inside the Frigate, which has arrived to patrol the Rust Belt. Enter into the mechanical world of ARC and seek prizes Speranza has never seen before.

New threats await Raiders at Pendola Pass; the Bully will oppress your position and unleash unrelenting hell. The Skulker seeks to outsmart you, stalking from the shadows and popping up where you least expect. The Hydra is a multi-tasking squad killer that protects the Emperor and Frigate with a vengeance.

Prepare for the journey

We don’t expect you to face the new frontier without the required gear. Establish your Outpost to amplify your weapons to a fifth tier and unlock special abilities. Make use of new skills, stock up on items like the Tethers and the Grapple Hook, and add two all-new weapons to your growing arsenal.

Play for free: October 8-12

Don’t forget, from October 8-12, ARC Raiders is completely free-to-play! Enter the Rust Belt for the very first time or call your friends and invite them to your squad.

ARC Raiders is also currently 50% off on all platforms, so try it out and decide if you’re ready to be the Rust Belt’s newest Raider!

Collector set DLC

For those who want the full Frozen Trail experience, the Collector Set DLC will prepare you for the icy peaks. The set includes a new cosmetic set, the Renzo, Dragon’s Breath Weapon Stencil, Bob Hair Style, and 2,400 Raider Tokens. It also grants access to the Frozen Trail Premium Reward Pass!
