ARC Raiders Reveals Patch Notes for March 10 Update

Embark Studios, the team behind The Finals and, most recently, ARC Raiders, has released a new update for its hit extraction shooter, bringing the title to version 1.19.0 on March 10 with tons of new fixes and improvements. Following its launch in late October, ARC Raiders has continued to receive a steady stream of hotfixes and patch updates, all aimed at improving the overall experience for its playerbase. While fans are patiently waiting for the big new Flashpoint update this month, Embark is tiding fans over with a new hotfix for March 10.

After revealing an exciting 2026 roadmap for ARC Raiders earlier this year, Embark has stayed true to its word and released a major content update every month, with the next set to arrive in just a few weeks. The developers’ plans only seem to extend until April, and after that, it’s unknown what Embark has in store for ARC Raiders. Thankfully, the studio has previously stated that it intends to support the shooter for at least 10 years, which means players can likely expect even more content to arrive after Riven Tides, which is the highly anticipated new update planned for April.

ARC Raiders Releases Update 1.19.0

Following last month’s big Shrouded Sky update for ARC Raiders, Embark Studios has kept the improvements and fixes coming, as yet another patch has been deployed on March 10. The 1.19.0 update can be downloaded now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, bringing a handful of bug fixes and a brand-new Outfit bundle to the in-game store. Sadly, there’s no new content for players to sink their teeth into with today’s ARC Raiders update, but the studio has fixed some severe bugs that were hindering players’ experience. One of the most notable fixes is for an exploit on Blue Gate that was once again allowing players to go out of bounds by using a Zipline. Embark also says it has patched a bug that was allowing players to put their Snaphook into their Safe Pocket while using it.

There are several other fixes in the latest ARC Raiders update, all detailed in the 1.19.0 patch notes, which can be found further down this article. Toward the end of the change log, Embark discusses some recent server issues that affected players last week, which resulted in some players unfairly losing their kits. Although the developer says it usually does not offer compensation for such incidents, the outage affected a large number of players, so the studio will therefore make an exception in this case. Embark says it will be reviewing these cases and will return items where possible over the next few days

February’s Shrouded Sky update also finally added facial hair to ARC Raiders, with the newest Raider Deck including a full beard as the final reward. Now Embark has expanded on the new cosmetic option, adding a mustache to the in-game store for 500 Raider Tokens. Today’s update also adds a new hairstyle for players to purchase, the curly mullet, which also costs 500 Raider Tokens.

As for what’s next, the Flashpoint update will arrive sometime this month, but Embark has yet to announce an official release date. If the studio follows the same release schedule that it has for January and February’s updates, the next major ARC Raiders content update will likely arrive on the final Tuesday of the month. According to the official roadmap, Flashpoint will once again add a new ARC threat, another new map condition, a new Player Project, and an update for Scrappy.

Last week’s server issues caused some of you to lose your loadouts even after a successful extraction. We are reviewing these cases and will return items where possible over the next few days. While we do not normally offer compensation for every incident, this outage impacted a large number of players, so we are making an exception. Thanks for bearing with us while we sorted it out.
