ARC Raiders Update 1.47.0 is underway, and it covers more than a small store refresh. Embark’s September 22 Steam announcement confirms new Riposta Set color variants, an update on the studio’s Fair Play work, and fixes for crashes, keyboard input, doors, inventory behavior, and map visuals. A download is required before loading back into the game.

Players will also get their first extended look at Frozen Trail on September 23 at 10 a.m. PDT (7 p.m. CEST). The preview will cover the upcoming update, which remains scheduled for October 8, 2026, following the previously announced October 8 release date.

The store portion of Update 1.47.0 adds Camo and White variants for the Riposta Set. On the gameplay side, the patch addresses an issue that could leave keyboard controls unresponsive after the game launched unfocused or returned from the background. It also fixes doors that could appear open while actually being closed, along with a problem that could send items into incompatible inventory containers.

Embark outlines its latest Fair Play actions

Embark says its anti-cheat team has issued several ban waves against accounts showing bot-like behavior, while detection work is being expanded to cover activity such as XP farming. The studio is also continuing to sanction unusually high-value item transfers and said its ongoing work against item duplication has produced positive results.

Shared-license restrictions are being strengthened as well. When an account is sanctioned, the related restrictions will make it harder for a detected cheater to purchase another account. Embark says it is also extending first-strike permanent bans when its systems identify an offender with a high degree of confidence, allowing action to happen sooner.

Frozen Trail preview and player deadlines

Frozen Trail’s First Look will air on September 23, giving Raiders a closer look at the game’s biggest upcoming update before its October 8 launch. Embark says more information is planned before the update arrives, so the preview should provide the next meaningful look at the new content.

There are two immediate reminders for players. The inbox message containing the community-made Rubber Ducks will stop being sent after October 8, so Raiders need to log in and claim them before that date.

Expedition 5’s Departure sign-up window closes on September 29 at 10 a.m. CEST, 8 a.m. UTC, or 1 a.m. PT. There will be no Last Call this time. Players who have trouble confirming their departure can contact Embark support.

Patch Notes for ARC Raiders 1.47.0

The patch notes cover cosmetic cleanup, inventory safeguards, map lighting and traversal fixes, platform-specific crash work, and a handful of UI changes. The update also includes a rare server-shutdown crash fix and stability work for the Inventory screen.

Content and Bug Fixes

Cosmetic

Fixed an issue where the Rawhide outfit’s headgear would remain on when toggled off in Customization.

Gameplay

Door blockers will no longer create a copy of their mesh on the opposite side from the direction they are applied.
Fixed an issue where keyboard input could stop working after launching unfocused or returning from background, ensuring keyboard controls reliably respond when refocusing the window.
Fixed an issue where doors could become out of sync in some cases, making them appear open to the player whilst actually being closed.
Fixed an issue where swapping or splitting items could place them into incompatible containers (such as forcing non-quick-use items into the belt), and added safeguards against invalid inventory slot indexing in the inventory.

Maps

Buried City

Fixed an issue where lighting in Buried City could appear overly dark or missing, improving overall visibility.

Riven Tides

Fixed visual issues that could appear while traversing Riven Tides.

General

Fixed an issue where objects in the world displayed incorrect colors, restoring items like red lockers, toolboxes, office chairs, cars, chests, and shipping containers to their intended appearance.

Performance

Fixed an issue where item tooltips in the inventory could keep data from previous screens, increasing memory use over time and affecting stability after long play sessions.

Stability

Improved crash detection & diagnostics tools.
Fixed a rare crash that could occur during server shutdown, improving overall stability.
Fixed an Xbox issue that could cause resource conflicts.

PS5

Addressed a frequent crash on PS5 related to the physics engine.

UI

Expedition

The Expedition Project button now indicates when an Expedition is paused after the cutoff date and prevents committing resources.

Skill Tree

Changed Skill Point assignment to hold-to-assign by default in the Skill Tree.
