Embark Studios released ARC Raiders update 1.19.0 on March 10, 2026. The patch targets a cluster of economy and inventory bugs, adds two new cosmetics, and begins the studio's item restoration process following last week's server outage.
Version Numbers
Console players will see the update listed as 1.000.028 in their download queue. Once installed on any platform, the main menu will display version 1.19.0. A game restart is required to trigger the download.
New Cosmetics
Two cosmetic additions came with this patch: the Devotee Outfit Set and two new haircuts. The patch notes don't specify how these are obtained or whether they're tied to the in-game store.
Economy and Inventory Fixes
Three of this patch's fixes address bugs in the sell and inventory systems. The sell value for items with attached mods was displaying incorrectly, and items could show up more than once in the sell and recycle popup. There was also a separate issue where a player's Coin balance would show the wrong amount after selling items with durability.
Gameplay and Map Fixes
A Snaphook exploit let players stash the tool in their safe pocket while the tool was in use. That's now patched. Players and ARC enemies were also getting stuck in a doorway at the Auditorium on Stella Montis, which has been resolved.
Two interact prompts were appearing simultaneously for the Comet. A Zipline exploit on Blue Gate has also been closed off.
Bodies of water on Dam Battlegrounds also weren't freezing properly during the Cold Snap map condition, and Electromagnetic Storm lighting was firing off more often than intended. Both are fixed.
Server Outage Compensation
Last week's server issues caused players to lose loadouts even after successful extractions. Embark confirmed it's reviewing affected accounts and will return lost items where possible over the next few days.
Embark hasn't shared details on which accounts qualify or exactly which items will be returned.
What's Next
According to Embark's Q1 roadmap, the next major update is expected before the end of March. No details on its contents have been revealed yet.
