Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios has announced a new collaboration with … Subway. The partnership that no one saw coming rewards players with a special skin when they buy a sandwich, along with other in-game items.
Now through October 26, people who buy a qualifying meal at Subway will get a code to unlock the Subterranean outfit (one of three skins people can earn during the promotion), along with two in-game items that rotate weekly.
Codes can be redeemed on Embark’s website. Another website runs through all the particulars of the promotion. Subway-eaters can choose from the following items right now.
- Option 1: Subterranean and Astrolite outfits, along with Renegade II, Medium Shield X2
- Option 2: Subterranean and Nascosto outfits, along with Canto II and Tactical Mk. 2
- Option 3: Subterranean and Rawhide outfits, along with Osprey II and Surge Shield Recharger x2
As you can see in the image below, the Subterranean skin in Arc Raiders has yellow and green flourishes to match Subway’s logo. It looks pretty badass, though part of me wishes it looked more like a sandwich.
This promotion is kicking off as a lead-in to the game’s big expansion, Frozen Trail, on October 8. Embark is now shifting its release cadence to push out larger updates to the game “every six months or so.”
Embark had previously avoided crossovers and explained that the game’s lore is “too curated” for Fortnite-style cosmetics.
