ARC Raiders Live Update 1.36.0 Patch Notes (7th July 2026)

Cosmetic

• Fixed a clipping issue for the Marco Outfit.
• Fixed an issue where the Bog Walker Set was missing new colour variants.
• Over the next few days, we will be issuing refunds to those of you who paid additional Raider Tokens to unlock the new colors. This should be an automated process, and does not require you to do anything.

Items

• Weapons dropped on the ground now display their installed mods.
• ARC Turbine parts will no longer drop from Couriers.
• Higher-value items will now show up on the shelf in the Raider Den, even if you have large stacks of lower-value items that add up to a higher total value than the individual item.

Maps

• Fixed various spots where players could get stuck or clip through the terrain.
• Fixed several locations where players fell through the terrain on The Dam close to spawn bunkers.

Quests

• Fixed an issue where the Quests tab could loop back to the 'Done' screen after claiming a reward and pressing ESC, preventing selection of a new quest.

Social

• The Emote Wheel now updates availability while open, making it clearer when an emote can be used.

UI

• Fixed some German localization issues.
• Improved the Feeding Rewards section in the Scrappy Nest by removing the empty placeholder tile and clarifying messaging when no rewards are available or still pending.
• Fixed an issue where the HUD visibility option wasn't applied correctly at the start of the round.
• Fixed an issue where the Show/Hide Tooltip option with a controller in the Logbook stopped working after collapsing and expanding a quest entry.

Known Issues

• We know some PC players may experience lower FPS than usual.
• While we investigate, please ensure your GPU drivers are up to date, or, if you’re still experiencing the issue, attempt rolling back to a previous driver version.

• We are aware of some clipping issues with the Triumph and Azimuth outfits.
• Old Ermal offers may appear to be available in the 'Acquire and Craft' menu (visual only).

Maintaining Fair Play

We know Topside can sometimes be dangerous and unpredictable (which is why we love it), but nobody’s a fan of Raiders finding ways to get unfair advantages.

Since our May update on Ensuring Fair Play, we’ve been striving to provide steady updates on how the fight against players who seek unfair advantages is going. Today, we’re taking a moment to recap everything we’ve been up to, and to provide some additional details.

Anti-Cheat and Detection

Over the past few weeks, we’ve completed our rollout of Denuvo Anti-Cheat. It is now enforced for all players, and the results we’ve seen so far have been promising.

Thanks to the efforts of our anti-cheat team, we are continuously getting more effective at identifying & acting against cheaters.

These improvements are the product of constant refinements to our anti-cheat stack (hardware & software detection, ML-driven input telemetry analysis and much, much more).

Handling & Preventing Item Duplication

Like with anti-cheat, we are always working against duplication exploits. We’re keeping a close eye on the game economy, and constantly catalogue, investigate and seek to counteract exploits.

Recently, we’ve fixed some exploits related to duplication. We always want to make sure fixes are widely effective, so we make sure to monitor and evaluate our success before sharing that progress with you.

Evolving “No Free Loadouts”

Sometimes, going into a high-value map condition and encountering raiders with free kits can also feel unfair. Since 1.33.0, we have introduced the experimental “No Free Loadout” requirement for Night Raid and Close Scrutiny. We’ve seen your reactions, and we’re taking your feedback into account.

We are looking into expanding “No Free Loadout” to more map conditions and investigating other opportunities to further improve the experience overall. We really appreciate the feedback you have been sharing in the survey from last week and we will keep you in the loop once we have new changes for you to try.

What’s Next?

There is yet more work to be done, of course. When we can, we want to share more of our progress on all of these initiatives. As you may have noticed, you now receive an in-game Action Notice when we’ve taken action against someone you reported. We’re also continuing to compensate for loot lost to cheaters, regardless of whether you reported them or not.

These are separate parts of the same system. We will continue to provide progress updates when we can, and we’re thankful for your efforts in reporting and informing us about unlawful behavior.

See you Topside,

//Ossen
