The shooter ARC Raiders is offering a free exclusive item to its players, but you have to act quickly: this content is only available for a limited time. If you’re playing ARC Raiders, now is the perfect time to expand your inventory without spending a dime. A new free DLC is available for all players, regardless of their platform. But be careful: quantities are limited, and the item will not remain accessible for long. This bonus is purely cosmetic, but remains highly coveted in the community. Here’s how to claim it, on PC and console.
An independent game already praised in 2025
Released in 2025, ARC Raiders stood out among the many video game releases of the year. Developed by Embark Studios, this online cooperative shooter combines survival, extraction and exploration, in a post-apocalyptic universe where humanity lives underground to escape the machines.
The official synopsis describes a world split between the underground of Speranza and a surface riddled with mechanical dangers: “Play solo or in groups of up to three, overcoming the constant threat of ARC machines and the unpredictable choices of other survivors.”
Praised by players like AEW star Ricochet, the title quickly established itself as one of the contenders for the title of multiplayer game of the year.
A free item… but in limited stock
The bonus offered is a cosmetic backpack called “Emerald Wave Electrician”. It does not modify the character’s performance, but remains an accessory appreciated for its distinctive design. The particularity? This DLC is digital, but available in limited quantities, without Embark Studios giving any explanation on this restriction. Another constraint: the object is not distributed in-game, but via an external channel. You have to go through a partner application.
Where and how to get the DLC for free?
To get the DLC, players must use the NVIDIA app, which is available for free. Once installed, simply:
- Launch the application
- Go to the “Recover” tab
- Click on the button corresponding to the ARC Raiders object
- Log in to your Embark account so that the item is added to the profile
The operation only takes a few minutes, but it is better not to delay: once stocks are exhausted, it will no longer be possible to obtain this accessory.
Available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox thanks to cross-play
Good news: ARC Raiders is a cross-play game. This means that all players, whether on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X or S, can get and use this content without platform restrictions.
Once collected through NVIDIA, the backpack is synchronized with the player’s profile. It can therefore be used regardless of the game medium. And unlike in-game resources that can be lost or stolen in ARC Raiders, this bonus remains safe in your inventory.
