The Arc Raiders February 10 update has dropped, and it introduces the new Shared Watch PvE event, alongside the return of the Cold Snap map condition.
Emabrk Studios has already revealed their big plans for 2026, with plenty of new content coming in the first part of the year. This includes new enemies, new challenges, and even a fresh map to get suck into.
However, in between major updates like Headwinds, they drop smaller patches to address some ongoing issues with the game.
Here are the patch notes for the Arc Raiders 1.15.0 update on February 10, as shared by Embark Studios.
What’s New?
- Shared Watch
- This is an opportunity to team up in the fight against the machines.
- The Shared Watch Event starts today and ends on February 24. Players will earn merits from destroying, assisting and damaging ARC and earn rewards. No merits will be earned from PvP encounters. Bring a friend or bring a stranger, but above all, bring enough ammo to make sure the machines notice you first.
- Cold Snap Map Condition
- Winter is not quite done with the Rust Belt – We are bringing back Cold Snap!
- The map condition is back in rotation on outdoor maps with the same mix of risk and reward. Frostbite damage will make your trip topside a short one if you don’t seek shelter, but for those who do brave the tundra – there’s increased loot value at stake!
- You can still collect Candleberries, but they are no longer tied to any event. You can also collect, and throw, snowballs! Use them wisely, or don’t.
- Cosmetics
- The Vulpine set
- The Slugger set
Content and Bug Fixes
Some of you have noticed changes in past updates that didn’t make it into the patch notes, thank you for flagging those and keeping us on our toes!
We’ve been building ARC Raiders for years, but we’ve only been live for a short while, and we’re still growing into the rhythm (and discipline) of live operations. Making patch notes that are complete, accurate, and easy to follow is a muscle we’re actively training.
We’re improving our internal process so fewer things slip through, and when something does, your reports help us catch it quickly and update the notes. Please keep letting us know when you spot something missing, it genuinely helps.
Miscellaneous
- Improved instances where players sometimes could not reconnect after disconnecting from a game.
- Fixed an issue where the match start tunnel scene sometimes wasn’t being shown.
- Fixed an issue where trials’ objective rewards could fail to grant at the end of a round due to a timeout, ensuring partial rewards are awarded when earned.
- Fixed an issue where the end of round screen would sometimes show incorrect merits, XP, and Live Event points.
- Fixed an issue where players’ platform icons would sometimes show incorrectly.
- Fixed an issue where crafting would sometimes get cancelled.
Utility
- Trailblazer Grenade
- The explosions no longer deal damage through walls.
- Deals more damage to small enemies but less damage to bigger enemies such as the Leaper and Bastion.
Weapons
- Fixed inconsistent weapon cycling when bound to keys other than the mouse wheel; keybinds now swap weapons reliably.
Known Issues
- One of the Marco set helmet variants may appear incorrectly in preview and in the menu but will appear correctly in game.
- Players may occasionally not receive a skill point as indicated in the result screen. A reboot/playing another round fixes the issue.
- ‘Purchase Raider Tokens’ page may appear in front of the inbox and profile page when switching between them.
- Player animations may appear broken when interrupting a search of the Baron Husk.
- Certain containers may be unavailable to be interacted with.
- Ziplines placed onto destroyed ARC parts will not appear correctly.
- Scrappy “Batting Helmet” and the “Slugger” outfit might not appear correctly in the event preview.
- The “Blindsided” achievement may not trigger as intended on the first attempt.
