Flashpoint will arrive tomorrow, on March 31, 2026.
ARC Operations: Close Scrutiny Map Condition
The Flashpoint update for ARC Raiders will introduce a new type of map conditions called ARC Operations, with Close Scrutiny providing players with less loot across the map, but there might be something more to find in the Assessor.
ARC Threat Vaporizer
Along with the Assessor, we see a new flying ARC being introduced in the update, called Vaporizer. It is known for devastating laser attacks and idiosyncratic attack patterns.
New Weapons and Items in ARC Raiders Flashpoint
The latest update will add 2 new weapons and 1 new item to the game. First up is the Canto submachine gun, which is good for close-quarters combat and comes with medium ammunition. The second weapon is a high-energy shotgun called Dolabra, which can punch through ARC armor plating at close range. It also has a variable focus to fire off a wide burst or a focused funnel of electricity. Lastly, the new item is a Surge Coil that can electrify your surroundings.
High Gain Antenna Project
With the latest update, we will also see the arrival of a brand new project for players to complete. This time around, players will help Celeste and Shani build a High Gain Antenna to get an eye in the sky.
Scrappy Gets a Feeding Boost
ARC Raiders Flashpoint will also see the relation between players and their rooster grow furter as players can now ncrease the types of loot Scrappy collects by feeding him particular items. The rooster will also drop valuable items as long as players feed him.
Spreading Shredders
Players should beware of the floating shredder in Blue Gate, Buried City, Spaceport, and Dam Battlegrounds during map conditions.
Improvements to Crafting in ARC Raiders Flashpoint
One of the highlights of the ARC Raiders Flashpoint update is the improvement to Crafting, which directly supplies missing materials and reduces time. Additionally, when the required materials aren’t present, players will receive a list of available resourcers that they can recycle, refine, and purchase from a single window.
Wasp Hunter Set and New Cosmetics
Last but not least, players have new cosmetics to outfit their raiders with. The new Wasp Hunter set features four colourways: the Diver Backpack (White), a new Scrappy Helmet, the Thruster Hammer Raider Tool, and costs 2400 Raider Tokens. Three new outfits will arrive through April: the Brigade Set, the Vanguard Set, and the Nascosto Set.
