Arc Raiders launches in 2025 and comes with the usual live service extras: a store, a free battle pass, and external promos that hand out freebies. If you want a couple of tiny cosmetics without spending a cent, the two quickest routes right now are Twitch Drops and the Arc Raiders Discord Quest.
Link your accounts first
Before anything else, connect Discord and Twitch to the Embark ID tied to your Steam, Epic, or Xbox account. Head to the Embark ID connected platforms page and click link next to Twitch and/or Discord. Log into the services in your browser and accept the permissions, then you should be ready to receive rewards.
- Open the Embark ID connected platforms page.
- Click link beside Twitch and/or Discord.
- Sign in to the chosen service and agree to the permissions.
Arc Raiders Twitch Drops
The Twitch Drops campaign is live until November 13 at 11:59 PM PST. The drops are minor cosmetics, and three of the four are very easy to get by simply watching an Arc Raiders stream for the required time. Note that only the first two drops are for use in Arc Raiders, the latter two are Twitch chat items. When you’ve earned a drop you should get a Twitch inbox message. Check that message, then click Claim to add the item to your account.
Arc Raiders Discord Quest
The Discord Quest gives a single item and is available only until November 5. It takes about 15 minutes: accept the quest in Discord, choose your platform, then play for the required time with Discord running.
The reward is the Hiker Backpack, Sky Ice. You can open the quest directly in Discord at the Arc Raiders Discord Quest or find it in your DMs under Quests. If you want context on how Arc Raiders will handle post-launch content and promotions, we previously covered the game’s plan for flexible monthly updates that leave room for PvPvE experiments and similar events. Read our breakdown of the monthly updates plan.
Quick checklist: link your Embark ID to Twitch and Discord, watch an Arc Raiders stream to earn Twitch Drops, and accept the Discord Quest for the Hiker Backpack before November 5. Remember to claim Twitch Drops from your Twitch inbox.
