Embark Studios just rolled out a major ARC Raiders update that tackles two of the most requested changes: dedicated duo matchmaking and a full store pricing rework. The patch, released in mid-November 2025, follows weeks of player feedback about unfair team balance and overpriced cosmetics.
Duos Matchmaking — Fair Play for Two-Player Teams
ARC Raiders now prioritizes two-player squads when forming matches. Solos are queued separately first, then duos with duos, and trios with trios. Mixed groups may still occur, but this update massively improves balance for those playing with one friend.
This change hits exactly what fans wanted — more fair, tactical encounters without being steamrolled by full squads.
“We wanted duos to feel viable, not punished,” said Embark community manager Lena Rho.
Store Rework — Lower Prices & Automatic Refunds
Embark also reduced cosmetic prices across the in-game Store. Starting November 13 at 10:30 CET, new prices went live worldwide. Players who bought items earlier will receive Raider Token refunds automatically within a week. A free Raider Deck was also added, offering basic items for new players, while future premium decks will focus solely on cosmetics — no pay-to-win gear. The result? A fairer economy and a healthier player base that trusts the developer again.

Why This Update Matters
For a game built on co-op tactics and gear progression, this patch fixes two core problems — team balance and economy trust. Embark’s decision to adjust prices and queue logic only weeks after launch proves that ARC Raiders is being treated as a living, evolving platform. For CarryLord clients, the timing is perfect — duo and raid runs now make boosting more efficient, and the store economy means you can focus on content instead of micro-transactions.
