New Epic Augments In ARC Raiders Headwinds Update—What Are They & How To Get Them

The Headwinds update for ARC Raiders is finally here, and it’s brought with it a fair share of new content. From a new Trophy Display Project to a new Minor Map Condition, it’s a fairly exciting update, but one thing has caught the fanbase off guard—the new Augments.

It wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the build-up to the update, but now that it’s here, two new Epic Augments have been confirmed to have arrived in ARC Raiders. Augments are crucial to planning your loadout, and by the looks of things, these two new ones are about to shift the meta in a major way.

Follow along with this guide to find out what the two new Epic Augments are in ARC Raiders, as well as how to get your hands on them.

What Are The Two New Epic Augments In ARC Raiders?

The two new Epic Augments in ARC Raiders are the Tactical Mk. 3 Revival and the Survivor Mk. 3 Safekeeper.

Both Augments are of the Epic rarity, and they each bring some unique traits to the table. Here are both of their unique traits:

Augment NameAugment TraitAugment Shield Compatibility
Tactical Mk. 3 RevivalRestores 1 health every 5 seconds. When damage is taken, the effect is paused for 30 seconds.
Augmented Slot has a Defib.
Light
Survivor Mk. 3 SafekeeperA Safe Pocket that allows any item to be stored.Light
Medium
Heavy

The star of the show is undoubtedly the Safekeeper Augment; having the ability to store any item in your safe pocket, including guns, is a major benefit to any raider, and it’s immediately one of the best Augments in the game. The Revival Augment, on the other hand, is a slight let down. The integrated Defib is a nice touch, but based on the name, fans were hoping for a self-reviving augment.

Let’s be real, though—everyone is going to want that Safekeeper Augment. But the question remains, where do you find it?

Where To Find The Two New Epic Augments In ARC Raiders

As is the case with every other Augment in ARC Raiders, there’s no set spawn location to find them; instead, you’ll need to hope you find their Blueprint whilst looting.

That’s not to say there aren’t places you can search to improve your odds of finding one, though. Your best bet is to load into a map during a Major Map Condition, like a Night Raid or Electromagnetic Storm. Once in, head to the High Loot zones, and get searching!

Some of the best containers are usually the Lockers and Cabinets, though Blueprints can be found just about anywhere. Stella Montis is a great map for such looting excursions, but beware, as most raiders are bound to be on the prowl for the same Blueprints—and they don’t always play nice.
