Summary
ARC Raiders Update 1.47.0 is now rolling out with several important fixes, a fresh cosmetic variant, and another update on Embark's ongoing anti-cheat efforts. More importantly, the ARC Raiders Items available to players remain an important part of the game's progression, while the Frozen Trail first look arrives on September 23, giving players a closer look at the game's biggest upcoming update yet. With Expedition 5 also approaching its deadline, there is plenty to keep Raiders busy before October 8.
1. ARC Raiders Update 1.47.0 Highlights
Update 1.47.0 is primarily focused on fixes and improvements rather than major new gameplay content. However, several changes should have a noticeable impact on everyday raids.
A new white camo variant for the Reposo Set has been added, while an issue causing Rawhide outfit headgear to remain visible after being toggled off has been fixed.
The update also addresses several frustrating gameplay problems:
- Doors that appeared open but were actually closed should now behave correctly.
- Door blockers no longer create a duplicate mesh on the opposite side.
- Keyboard controls should work properly after returning to the game window.
- Inventory items can no longer be placed into incompatible slots through certain item-swapping actions.
- Skill points now require a hold input by default, reducing accidental assignments.
Map-specific visual problems have also received attention. Buried City should have more consistent lighting, while visual issues across Riven Tides have been fixed.
2. Performance and Stability Improvements
Performance is another major focus of Update 1.47.0. Inventory tooltips could previously retain data from earlier screens, potentially increasing memory usage during longer sessions. Embark has now addressed this issue.
The patch also includes crash and stability improvements across platforms. Xbox Series X|S players are still being monitored for crashes, while PS5 players should see better stability when opening the inventory after inventory changes.
These fixes may not sound exciting, but they are particularly important for players preparing for longer sessions during the upcoming Frozen Trail update.
3. Embark Expands Its Anti-Cheat Efforts
Cheating remains one of the biggest community concerns surrounding ARC Raiders, and Embark has provided another update on its fair play initiatives.
The developer says it has issued bans against accounts displaying bot-like behavior and continues to investigate suspicious XP farming. It is also taking action against unusually valuable item transfers and continuing to target item duplication.
Embark is further strengthening restrictions around shared licenses. According to the developer, this should make it more difficult for sanctioned players to simply purchase another license and return to the game.
The studio also says it is expanding the use of first-strike permanent bans when its detection systems reach a high degree of confidence.
4. Expedition 5 Deadline Is Almost Here
Players participating in Expedition 5 need to pay attention to the September 29 departure deadline. Unlike previous Expeditions, there will be no Last Call period, so players need to complete their Expedition Project and sign up before the cutoff.
This is particularly important because the Expedition system is expected to be put on hold after this cycle.
Players should also claim the community-made rubber duck rewards before October 8, when the related inbox message will no longer be sent.
5. Frozen Trail First Look Arrives Today
The biggest news is still Frozen Trail. Embark is scheduled to reveal an extended first look on September 23 at 10 a.m. PDT.
The showcase is expected to provide a much deeper look at the snowy map and the gameplay systems arriving with the October 8 update. With Embark calling Frozen Trail its biggest update yet, players won't have to wait much longer to see what is coming next for ARC Raiders.
For now, Update 1.47.0 gives Raiders a cleaner, more stable game while the community prepares for the next major chapter. As players get ready for the new content, those looking to buy ARC Raiders Items can also prepare for the challenges ahead.
