Note: The NVIDIA ARC Raiders backpack is out now, but the NVIDIA site is crashing and experiencing network timeouts as so many people try to redeem it.
NVIDIA is giving away an exclusive ARC Raiders backpack as an in-game reward, but redemptions are limited, and you have to tick a few boxes to be eligible. This sought-after item will be released today, December 11, but you’ll need to move fast if you want one. It’s the exclusive Emerald Wave Variant of the Electrician Backpack, and it’s going to be a rare thing indeed.
To learn how to get the ARC Raiders NVIDIA backpack, read on.

As this is a cosmetic unlock, the Emerald Wave Variant backpack will remain on your account even if you participate in the upcoming Expedition Project that will otherwise reset your entire profile.
Embark Studios has provided plenty of content updates already in ARC Raiders, but it’s already proving rare to get any free items in the game. There are no ARC Raiders codes or giveaways to participate in, so the ARC Raiders NVIDIA backpack is a very nice addition indeed.
