Raiders,

Scout reports have been returning from Riven Tides. Fragments of observation logs, faded photographs, and footage of the coast have finally made their way back to Speranza. 

It’s now time for you to check it out for yourself. Explore the abandoned shoreline, traverse the Exodus port, and experience the lost luxury of the Panorama Azzurro hotel. 

This is the Rust Belt, and it’s not going to be easy. Other Raiders are already on the scent of fresh loot, and a new floating ARC machine has been seen patrolling the skies. What it’s doing, and how to counter it, is for you to find out.

NEW MAP: RIVEN TIDES

On the western coast of the Rust Belt lies a stretch of deserted shoreline. This location has been abandoned twice: once during the Exodus, and once again by survivors of the First Wave, who failed to hold down the exposed settlement against ARC. From the fading resort to the towering dockyard, stake your claim and discover what treasures lie within. 

NEW ENEMY: ARC TURBINE

Almost beautiful when silhouetted against the sunset, the ARC Turbine drifts across the Rust Belt. Calm, docile, quiet. That is until you get up close. Nobody knows quite what it’s doing, but if you try to interfere, you best be ready for a totally unique fight. Its defensive abilities are brutal, posing a new challenge to Raiders and demanding skill, patience, and nerves in equal measure. 

NEW MINOR MAP CONDITION: BEACHCOMBING

Riven Tides introduces a new minor map condition: Beachcombing. Keep an eye out for the Dockmaster's Detector during a session and sweep it across the sand to uncover buried loot hidden beneath the surface. What you dig up will vary, just keep in mind that the Detector takes up a weapon slot, and the richest hunting grounds are out in the open…

NEW ITEMS: CRASH MAT AND POWERED DESCENDER

Getting from A to B is never an easy feat in the Rust Belt, but it’s even harder when A is 100 feet high and B is the hard, splatty ground. With two new fall mitigation items, skillful Raiders can learn to defy gravity, as long as they remain focused. 

NEW EVENT: LAST RESORT

Running through to May 25, the Last Resort event rewards you with Merits as your XP converts during play on any map. For bonus gains, hunt down miniature Ship Models hidden throughout the world, each one carrying a Merit value based on rarity. Rack up enough Merits to unlock three pages of rewards, including the Junior Outfit, Hydrologist backpack, Hose attachment, Brass Faucet charm, new emotes, and 250 Raider Tokens in total.

NEW RAIDER PROJECT: AVIAN ALARM

The new Raider project tasks you with building a makeshift security system to sense tremors and atmospheric changes. Deploy cages at buoys along the Riven Tides coastline to catch birds for the Avian Alarm. Work through all five stages to earn the Dockmaster's Detector (your key to Beachcombing), Gel Patches, the Bird House backpack attachment, the Fist In Air emote, and 250 Raider Tokens in total.

NEW COSMETICS

Riven Tides brings a wave of new cosmetics, starting with two sets available on launch day. The Solare Set drapes you in ceremonial layers and woven fabrics, fitting attire for those who greet the sunrise like a ritual. The Rachetta Set throws subtlety overboard: bold colors, an athletic cut, and zero interest in camouflage for Raiders who rely on speed over stealth. 

From there, more sets will roll out across the month of May. The Corsaro Set outfits the techno-captain of the high seas, complete with a robotic arm and spring-operated leg. The Castaway Set is for the lone wolf who's cut ties with rank and allegiance, self-reliant and unpredictable. Finally, the Sandveil Set keeps things patient and pale, built for long hauls through dust and heat where knowing when not to move is just as important as knowing when to strike.

See you beachside, Raiders.

[PSA] The Nomadic Trader is taking Glitched Parts for tr*des! This is overpowered atm

Ermal is taking the purple and gold glitched parts for high end trades. This is overpowered atm as you get so many Gold Glitched parts from wasps. This will be your best chance to expand your stash and buy vault slots for the next expedition, maybe even worth 150k of glitched parts for the 25 raider tokens.

Phantom Targets Project Part 2 (Corrected!)

I am very sorry. I deleted the original post. That version was before the patch for the game when the project unlocked but with the old placeholders. This is the corrected version.

[Embark] Live Update 1.42.0

Raiders!

Update 1.42.0 is going live right now and with it a number of fixes, a second part of the Phantom Targets event with the Anomalia Outfit, a new Player Project, improved map condition scheduling, and new Twitch drops.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Phantom Targets Event & Phantom Targets Part 2 Raider Project
  • The Tick Hunter Set is now available
  • Improved Regional Map Condition Schedule
  • An Update on Anti-Cheat and Fair Play
  • New Twitch Drops (Car Freshener & Ceramic Vase)
  • Rubber Duck Competition Winners

Phantom Targets Revealed

Thanks to the assistance of many Raiders, Shani finally pinpointed the source of the phantom targets: erratic Wasps. These ARC units are exhibiting behavior she’s never seen before: emitting strange noises, flying in irregular patterns, and carrying unidentifiable tech. They’re all swarming towards one location. She needs further assistance to understand what’s waiting for them there.

Improvements to Map Condition Scheduling 

We have been working to make sure that the way we schedule Map Conditions is aligned with your playing habits. To that end, we’re introducing Regional Map Condition Scheduling. Starting with 1.42.0, Map Conditions will have their schedule offset based on regions, instead of a single, global schedule.

This means that the schedule will shift to fit specific regions' peak hours to better match your experience. This way, it’ll be less likely to miss out on a map condition regardless of where you are.

Don’t hesitate to tell us how Regional Map Condition schedules are working by chatting with us on our Discord! We’re eager to see what everyone’s experience is like and make adjustments accordingly.

Note: we will update the Map Condition tracker on the website to reflect this change soon. For now, we are aware the information on the website may not reflect the in-game conditions.

Following up about Fair Play 

It’s time to look at what’s been going on in the realm of Fair Play since our last chat a few weeks back. Some new (and some recurring) topics have crossed our path since then, and we wanted to reassure you that keeping Topside safe against cheaters and exploits is a top priority for us, and will continue to be so.

A Note on Third Party Software

When we see reports of third party software being used to gain an advantage of any kind, in-game or at account level, we investigate. The first and most important step is to verify the validity of the report and whether or not the software actually does what it claims to do. A lot of the time, claims are just that, and interacting with this kind of software carries a large amount of risk.

Be aware that downloading unverified and unofficial software can put more than just your account at risk. Beyond getting banned and losing access to the game, your data and personal information could be exposed.

Remember that your account is only as secure as its weakest link. In order to protect your account, your purchases and progression, we strongly recommend making sure 2FA or passkeys are enabled on all external accounts connected to your Embark ID. Oh, and never share your credentials with anyone. No matter how many ducks they offer.

Recent Actions & Future Plans

Over the past few weeks, we have been making several improvements alongside Anybrain and Denuvo Anti-Cheat. This has resulted in swift action being taken against a large number of accounts that were using recently popularized cheating software.

There is also the matter of ensuring permanent sanctions for serial, blatant cheaters. We continue working on methods that make it more difficult for new accounts to be obtained and that discourage cheaters from returning.

There have been compounding improvements in our ability to also detect accounts that participated in what we classify as “economy exploits”, which means we can more quickly sanction offenders. These types of sanctions have been ongoing.

Additionally, we have several simultaneous initiatives that are meant to address teaming and general matchmaking abuse. We know how important having a consistently good experience is, and that in certain regions or at certain times, it’s easier to run into groups of players that try to force their way into lobbies and engage in griefing. We’ll share more when all of these are ready.

And that’s, of course, not all. We’ll keep building up all of the initiatives we mentioned and we’ll do our best to make sure that your experiences across the Rust Belt are fun, thrilling, and most importantly fair.

Congratulations to the Winners of the Rubber Duck Design Contest!

Last Thursday, the 3 finalists of the Rubber Duck Design Contest were selected via popular vote on our Discord. We have since begun working on bringing the ducks into the game, and we will add them in a future update!

Soon enough, you’ll be able to fill your Raider Den with ducks made by the super-talented gekko.rar, im_AshCheeks and nassguhl.

  • Player animations may appear broken when interrupting a search of the Baron Husk.
  • Shredders float to the ceiling in some rooms of the Hidden Bunker.
  • Leapers can jump through the ARC Turbine.
  • When bringing items that give Merits with you into a Raid, the items will wrongfully display a Merits icon.
  • Shots taken while riding ARC may not register correctly.
  • Some doors may allow player flashlights’ beams to pass through instead of blocking the emitted light.
  • We are aware of some clipping issues with the Triumph, Reaver and Azimuth outfits.
  • Old Ermal offers may appear to be available in the 'Acquire and Craft' menu (visual only).

See you Topside,
//Ossen & Raz

Loot ARC Enemies - Straightforward 12k

A simple, but decent run in Dam Battlegrounds for "Loot ARC Enemies" trial in Arc Raiders. No minmaxing, no BS - just go and shoot.

Got some heat for being boring, so now condensed everything under two minutes - so I am boring for a shorter time.

[Embark] The Phantom Targets event begins tomorrow

Thanks to your intel, Shani suspects that the source of the phantom signals may be caused by erratic Wasp behavior...

Raiders have spotted them emitting strange noises, flying wildly, and carrying corrupted tech... but why? Speranza security needs all willing Raiders on the ground tomorrow to see what's waiting for us.

The Phantom Targets event begins tomorrow.

ARCs that can mimic raider voices

We need ARCs that can mimic raider voices — phrases like “Don’t shoot!”, “Let’s team up!” and so on. Or simply calling for help. Or imitating the sounds of wounded people.

Then they would ambush raiders and attack them like ticks jumping from cover.

In the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe, there’s a creature like this — the flesh. It has a parrot-like ability to imitate human voices it has heard before. It hides in bushes and repeats phrases it once heard.

The older the creature is, the better it becomes at choosing the right sounds to make its trap more convincing.
