ARC Raiders Patch Notes - 1.27.0 (5th May 2026)

ARC Raiders patch 1.27.0 is rolling out now, fixing Turbine visibility, audio issues, and a handful of Riven Tides map bugs.

Embark Studios dropped patch 1.27.0 for ARC Raiders today, and it's a focused quality-of-life pass rather than anything sweeping. Restart your game to grab it.

The bulk of the work targets the Turbine. Attacks are now visible at range, proximity mines have better visibility, and landing behaviour has been tightened so the thing stops plonking itself in treetops. There's also a fix for a bug that let players instantly detonate Trigger 'Nades on throw, which I imagine was causing some chaos in extraction. On the audio side, the Turbine was drowning out other game sounds entirely, and vegetation-heavy areas on Riven Tides had no audio feedback when moving or shooting through them. Both are fixed here.

Embark also notes they're already looking at balance adjustments following Riven Tides' launch, though no details yet. A vague "when we're ready, you'll get all the details" isn't the most reassuring communication, but at least they've acknowledged the feedback publicly. The Corsaro Set and Mutton Chops bundle are now live in the store too, if cosmetics are your thing.

Here's the full breakdown.

Full Patch Notes

Raiders!

Patch 1.27.0 is rolling out right now, so please restart your game to download it.

Thank you for your constructive feedback following Riven Tides’ release. We're already exploring balancing adjustments to improve upon the changes introduced with Riven Tides. We want to make sure we get this right. When we’re ready, you’ll get all the details. In the meantime, enjoy Riven Tides and get those merits!

You’ll find the Corsaro Set & the Mutton Chops facial hair bundle in the store and the fixes below:

ARC

  • Fixed Turbine attacks not being visible from far away.
  • Players can now drop their carryable and fight off Ticks when they are attacked while carrying something.
  • Adjusted visibility on proximity mines deployed from the Turbine.
  • Improved the quality of Turbine landing behaviour to mitigate instances of poor landing zone selection, such as treetops.

Audio

  • Fixed an issue that caused game sounds to be quieted by the Turbine’s sound effects.
  • Increased the distance from which a Turbine can be heard.
  • Fixed an issue where vegetation-heavy areas on Riven Tides lacked audio feedback when moving or shooting.
  • Fixed audio and animation issues when trying to very quickly use items.

Cosmetics

  • Updated Howdy emote so it’s available while sprinting.
  • The Rachetta outfit’s colors are now more accurate.

Maps

Riven Tides

  • Fixed the “Field Depot” POI not counting for the “Off the Radar” quest.
  • Fixed several floating and buried fruit baskets.
  • Fixed a spot where players could fall through the floor.

Stella Montis

  • Fixed missing collision on wall that allowed ARC and players to shoot through it.

Utility

Trigger ‘Nades

  • Fixed a recently introduced bug that allowed players to trigger the grenades instantly when thrown.

Progression

  • Fixed the information in the Late Departure window so it accurately displays the Catch Up Rewards.
