ARC Raiders Store Update 1.43.0 is rolling out now, bringing the heavy-duty Roamer Set to the store. Players should restart the game to load the latest version, according to Embark Studios’ Steam announcement.

The Phantom Targets Event is still running through September 6. Raiders can hunt erratic Wasps and collect their strange glitched technology while Shani continues investigating the ARC’s unusual behavior.

Phantom Targets rewards include the Anomalia Outfit

Taking part in the research effort can earn players the Anomalia Outfit, along with the Finger Guns Wave emote, Trashpile Bag, and Raider Tokens. It is a rather stylish reward bundle for anyone willing to deal with a swarm of angry Wasps. Fashion first, survival second—or perhaps both at once.

Embark warns players about linked-account bans

Embark also used the update to reinforce its anti-cheat warning. If another person accesses a linked account and cheats, that account can be banned even when its owner was not the person using cheats. The rule applies whether access was shared willingly or obtained without permission.

Players can reduce the risk by securing the account connected through their login provider. Embark recommends using a strong, unique password, enabling two-factor authentication, and keeping login details private.

Use a strong, unique password.
Turn on two-factor authentication.
Do not share login details with anyone.

Those steps help protect account progress while supporting the studio’s efforts to keep matches fair.

Wasp clips can earn the Wasp Hunter DLC set

Submissions for the special Wasp Week Community Highlights episode are still open. Embark is looking for clips featuring airborne Wasp rides, Snap Hooks pulling Wasps into the ground, or Snitch Scanners provoking the swarm.

The top five submissions will appear in the episode, and each selected creator will win the Wasp Hunter DLC set. Players can send their footage through the clip submission form.

ARC Raiders heads to Gamescom

The ARC Raiders team will be at Gamescom from August 26 through August 30. The developers are bringing merchandise to the booth, while Scrappy is reportedly being prepared for the trip in a travel carrier. The team also said it will meet the community online during the event.
