What’s New in the ARC Raiders Riven Tides Update?

The First New Map Since Launch

The most anticipated feature of the Riven Tides update is the introduction of a brand-new map in ARC Raiders. Embark has teased glimpses of the buildings and environment, promising a fresh Topside experience for players when the update launches on April 28.

New ARC Enemy and Weapons

Riven Tides will introduce a major new ARC enemy, the first since the Matriarch’s debut. While details remain scarce, this threat may be tied to a new map event or require new weapons and items to defeat. Players can expect additional gear to help combat this challenge.

Exclusive Quests and Rewards

The update will also feature new quests with enhanced rewards. Detailed guides for these quests will be available to help players maximize their progress. Additionally, a new Expedition window will open, offering endgame content for those seeking greater challenges.

Note: Joining the Expedition will reset your inventory, but players will receive rewards such as cosmetics and additional storage slots for loot.
