Extraction shooters ARC Raiders

ARC Raiders' Phantom Targets Part 2 Lands August 18 With a Roughly $20 Tick Hunter Store Bundle

ARC Raiders, Embark Studios' PvPvE extraction shooter where squads scavenge a hostile surface and race to extract loot before rival players or robots kill them, unlocks Phantom Targets Part 2 with live Update 1.42 on August 18. Part 2 closes out the Phantom Targets project that began August 4 and ends September 6. The same update adds a store bundle, the roughly $20 Tick Hunter set with an outfit in four colors, a backpack, a charm, a tattoo, and 2,400 Raider Tokens.

  1. Is $20 for a cosmetic outfit set fair in a game you already paid for?
  2. Are you grinding Phantom Targets Part 2, or has your squad already moved on?
  3. Does ARC Raiders' store pricing sit better or worse than Tarkov and Hunt: Showdown?
  4. Two weeks after the Frozen Trail hype, is ARC's endgame keeping your crew logged in?
