ARC Raiders update coverage and patch analysis, focused on what each change means for the way you play rather than on repeating the notes.
Embark launched Frozen Trail on 8 October 2026. The 2.0 notes confirm Pendola Pass, the Frigate, new ARC threats, Reward Passes, amplified weapons and a reworked Skill Tree, with new details beyond the September preview.
ARC Raiders Trials Season 5 ran from 7 July to 30 September 2026. This record explains its Scorta placement rewards and why challenge runs cost more than ordinary extraction runs.
In July 2026, Live Update 1.39.0 began testing whether defensive PvP should have zero weight in the playstyle estimate used for matchmaking. Embark also defined how starting and third-partying fights were classified.
