Arc Raiders Pushes Cooperation Over PvP In New Shared Watch Event

Arc Raiders players are being encouraged to team up for increased merits in Shared Watch, a new limited-time event designed to remind fans that the Arc machines are the real enemy. This launches alongside the new 1.15.0 update, patch notes for which you can see below.

From now until February 24, PvP encounters won't generate any merits for players. Instead, players can earn merits by damaging and destroying Arc machines, or by assisting in their destruction. This event will debut two new cosmetic sets: The Vulpine set and The Slugger set.

Additionally, Cold Snap has been added back to the rotation of outdoor map conditions. The intense cold can inflict frostbite damage on players if they linger too long, but there are greater rewards for those who take the risk. Players can also lob snowballs at each other.
