ARC Raiders has received Update 1.40.0, bringing a new in-game event, fresh cosmetic rewards, and several community updates. Announced by Embark Studios, the patch introduces the first phase of the Phantom Targets Player Project, along with two new color variants for the popular Volare outfit.
The update also addresses player feedback, with the developers confirming they are working on fixes for the Queen and Matriarch stomp attacks, which some players reported were dealing damage through walls or from excessive distances. The studio also acknowledged ongoing investigations into PC launch error codes.
The new Phantom Targets Player Project tasks players with repairing faulty antennas to triangulate mysterious signals while completing ARC encounters using unconventional strategies. According to Embark, the second phase of the project and the full Phantom Targets event will launch with Update 1.42 on August 18.
The Summer Celebration crossover also continues across Embark‘s games. Players who spend three hours in ARC Raiders can unlock the Azimuth Outfit in THE FINALS.
Meanwhile, the Tick Hunter Set is now available to wishlist on Steam ahead of its August 18 release. The bundle includes four outfit color variants, the Field Telephone backpack, Tick Trophy backpack charm, Spider Tattoo face style, and 2,400 Raider Tokens.
