ARC Raiders Patch 1.19.0 Lands March 10 With Bug Fixes and New Cosmetics

Embark Studios dropped ARC Raiders update 1.19.0 on March 10, closing off exploits, patching a cluster of economy bugs, and adding new cosmetics to the in-game store across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The hotfix arrives between last month's Shrouded Sky update and the more substantial Flashpoint update still expected later this month.

The most notable gameplay fix targets a recurring problem on Blue Gate, where players were once again using a Zipline to escape the map boundaries. Embark also patched a Snaphook exploit that let players stash the tool into their Safe Pocket by pressing Tab while it was actively in use. On Stella Montis, players and ARC enemies were getting trapped in a doorway at the Auditorium, and the Comet was incorrectly displaying two simultaneous interact prompts. Environmental issues got attention too: on Dam Battlegrounds, bodies of water were failing to freeze during the Cold Snap map condition, and Electromagnetic Storm lighting was triggering more frequently than intended.

Three economy and inventory fixes round out the gameplay corrections. The sell value displayed incorrectly when players selected items with attached mods, duplicate entries were appearing in the sell and recycle popup, and Coin balances were showing wrong figures after selling items with durability.

On the cosmetics side, the Devotee Outfit Set landed in the store at 1,500 coins, bundling headgear, a scarf, and a sleeve cosmetic across three alternate color schemes. Two new hairstyles, the Curly Mullet and the Thick Mustache, also went live, prompting the community to immediately crack jokes about a certain sunglasses-wearing content creator, dubbing the combination a DrDisrespect cosplay set.

The patch notes also addressed a server outage from the previous week that caused players to lose their kits even after completing successful extractions. Embark confirmed it is reviewing affected accounts and will return lost items where possible over the next few days. The studio typically does not offer compensation for server incidents, but the scale of the outage prompted an exception. Embark has not yet specified which accounts qualify or exactly which items are eligible for restoration.

The full 1.19.0 patch notes are available on the official ARC Raiders Steam Community page for players who want the complete list ahead of Flashpoint.
