Live Update 1.36.0 delivers the matchmaking overhaul you've been asking for, a crossover with THE FINALS, significantly buffed ARC Turbine loot, and the start of Expedition 4 and Trials Season 5. The update also brings a store redesign, a batch of quality-of-life fixes, and the full enforcement of anti-cheat measures. Here's what changed.

Separate Matchmaking Per Squad Size

Your playstyle is now tracked independently for Solo, Duo, and Trio rounds. Previously, a single profile covered all squad sizes, so friendly behavior in Solo could make Trio matches feel cooperative, or aggressive Trio play could bleed into your Solo sessions. Now switching squad size no longer requires matchmaking to recalibrate—you can go from quiet looting in Solo to PvP-focused Trio without the system catching up.

THE FINALS Crossover

From July 9, 3 pm CEST to July 30, 3 pm CEST, completing a set of Contracts in THE FINALS earns you the Azimuth outfit and Archeologist backpack in ARC Raiders. After the event window, the reward direction flips—you'll earn the Azimuth bundle in THE FINALS by playing ARC Raiders.

Expedition 4 & Trials Season 5

Expedition 4 replaces Skill Points with Mystery Rewards, awarding Blueprints and Raider Tokens for dealing damage, and introduces the Zenith outfit as a reward. Trials Season 5 adds weapon-specific ARC damage challenges and the Scorta heavy-armor outfit. The store also receives a redesign and adds the Triumph Set.

ARC Turbine Loot Buff

ARC Turbines now drop significantly more loot, addressing feedback that the reward didn't match the effort. The update also fixes Turbines disappearing after spawning and prevents Turbine parts from dropping from Couriers.

Quality of Life and Bug Fixes

• Dropped weapons now display installed mods.
• The Emote Wheel updates availability while open.
• Higher-value items appear on the Raider Den shelf even if low-value item stacks have higher total value.
• Fixed terrain clipping and stuck spots, including several locations near spawn bunkers on The Dam.
• Fixed the Quests tab looping to the 'Done' screen after claiming a reward.
• Fixed HUD visibility not applying correctly at round start.
• Fixed the Show/Hide Tooltip option breaking in the Logbook.
• Refunds for extra Raider Tokens spent on new Bog Walker colours will be issued automatically.

Additional fixes address localization, the Marco Outfit clipping, and the Scrappy Nest Feeding Rewards UI.

Anti-Cheat and Compensation

Denuvo Anti-Cheat is now enforced for all players, with early results promising. The team continues refining detection using hardware, software, and ML-based input telemetry. You'll receive an in-game notice when action is taken on a report you submitted, and loot lost to cheaters is automatically compensated regardless of whether you reported them.

Known Issues

• PC players may experience lower FPS; updating or rolling back GPU drivers may help.
• Xbox Series S crashes are under investigation.
• Quick Wheel selection may swap items when closing and reopening rapidly.
• Dolabra, Hullcracker, and Rascal don't damage practice dummies.
• Throw animation may fail when detonating a Trigger 'Nade immediately after throwing.
• Weapon swap animation may appear broken after vaulting.
• Shredders float to the ceiling in some Hidden Bunker rooms; Leapers can jump through the ARC Turbine.
• Shots taken while riding ARC may not register correctly; Triumph and Azimuth outfits have known clipping issues.
