No new map till April. Hopefully the other stuff is enough to tide me over.

Hello, Raiders.

2026 is upon us, and we’re embarking on our first full year of ARC Raiders. Let’s do this thing.

When we launched in October, we gave you a rundown of our plans for the rest of 2025. We hope this got you excited about what was coming up, and gave you a flavor of how much new content to expect. Since we’re aiming to deliver a content update every month going forward, we want to keep you in the loop.

As we head into 2026, we’re excited to share our roadmap for the next four months. This will show you the types of new content to look forward to: new enemies, maps, conditions, or other changes. As you can expect, we’re not going to offer all the specifics, but enough that you know where we’re heading.

Stick around. After Escalation, there’s even more to come.

Escalation

The Cold Snap has passed, but its danger casts a long shadow. Extreme weather will continue to test Raiders as they scavenge the surface for the resources that keep Speranza running.

The increased ARC presence continues to trouble Shani as the Rustbelt grows more overwhelmed, but no one holds all the pieces. The scale of the impending escalation remains unknown. Venture topside into an increasingly volatile Rustbelt—and make sure you’re prepared for what’s to come.

Keep a lookout - new content is just around the corner.

See you topside,
The ARC Raiders Team

This roadmap reflects our current plans and is subject to change.

Bare minimum: get rid of that “5 mil value for 5 skill points” shit and address blueprint concerns

So ran a few more harvesters because Sludig Sludig is jealous I am so much better at this game then he is. And got a Jupiter and equalizer BP for him as well since he doesn’t like to be co dependent.

So, you do a harvester event and just loot the harvesters?

I got the snap hook BP a week ago, and today I used one to drop two Deadlines onto the Queen core. That was a fun experience.

Harvester safest sorta. Think the chance is higher than the queen. But I feel like worse chances because when I've done it you have a swarm of people ready to loot. Queen you might get lucky and she moves and no one is near as you loot the core.

Just bring an Anvil. It surprises me people get so hard over a hullcracker. You can buy one once a day.

I know the trick. 5 Jupiter BP’s 1 equal (for slud). You just have to know where to be. Then, it’s a 1/3 chance. Tmac I’ll teach you

Hullcrack is pretty cheap to make. A single run through Stella Montis will probably net you enough to make a couple hullcrackers

The ammo on the other hand is a fucking pain the ass to craft because it takes arc motion cores

We got Tmac Tmac his Jupiter and Equalizer blueprints and some cores in back to back harvester runs. Then Sludig Sludig cane on and we took out the queen in Dam and netted 10 queen cores. Should be good for a while :) I have three equalizers a Jupiter, two aphellions, a matriarch core and 4 more queen cores stashed.

Bro, you can refine them from Arc Alloy, just always take a second to loot and break down small Arc components into alloy.

Hullcracker aiming has always seemed jenky to me. I've missed shots so many times where I'm pretty much point blank on a wasp and it just flies by it.

And all I hear is the sound of wasted money or time spent buying or crafting those hullcracker shots. The audio for hullcracker should be a cash register

Seeker grenades are where its at. Unless there's a pop sitting nearby that pulls the seeker into the side of a building... Then in that case fuck you seeker

Watching my Seekers veer towards a target I cannot even see is peak Arc Raiders. It usually happens when I'm trying to down a Rocketeer, so each miss means they are going to get another chance to triple rocket me.
