ARC Raiders has exploded in popularity over the past few months, firmly establishing Embark Studios as one of the industry’s most exciting developers. While ARC Raiders may feel like a breakout moment, it isn’t Embark’s first success—and you’ll now be rewarded with an exclusive Red Ryder skin for visiting the studio’s earlier hit, THE FINALS.
Released as Embark Studios’ debut title, THE FINALS is a free-to-play, first-person competitive shooter that frames its action as a high-octane game show. Players battle it out in three-person squads, demolishing environments and outplaying rivals in fast, chaotic matches. While its tone and gameplay differ greatly from ARC Raiders, the two titles are now linked through a special crossover reward.
Here’s how you can unlock the free Red Ryder skin in ARC Raiders, and how long you have to grab it.
How To Get ARC Raiders Red Ryder Skin From THE FINALS
To unlock the free ARC Raiders Red Ryder Skin, all you need to do is play three matches of THE FINALS.
If you don’t own THE FINALS, then don’t fret—it’s free to play. Here’s the full step-by-step process for unlocking the cosmetic bundle:
- Download & Install THE FINALS.
- Log in with the same Embark ID that you use for ARC Raiders.
- Play 3 Games in any game mode—wins don’t matter, just play the full match.
- Log back into ARC Raiders to claim the cosmetics.
The cosmetics on offer for completing the Contract are as follows:
| Reward Type | Reward Description |
|---|---|
| Outfit | Ryder (Red) |
| Backpack | Salvager (Black) |
| Charm | Soccer Finals Ticket |
Whilst they’re only reskins, it’s a fun bundle that’s easy to obtain for any ARC Raiders fan. But don’t leave it too long, as it’s expected to be a limited-time offer.
How Long Do I Have To Claim Free ARC Raiders Red Ryder Skin?
It’s currently unclear how long you will have to claim the ARC Raiders Red Ryder Skin, but it’s expected to be a limited-time offer.
The offer began on December 16 alongside the Cold Snap update for ARC Raiders. This substantial update made some notable Winter changes to the game, as snow blankets the world in a fresh new map condition, adding more hazards for you to keep track of.
As for when the cosmetic bundle offer will end, fans aren’t entirely too sure. There isn’t a timer on the Contract found in THE FINALS, and Embark hasn’t disclosed when the offer will end. Still, it’s better to be safe than sorry and claim it as soon as possible, in case it slips out of your grasp.
