ARC Raiders' Shared Watch event isn't a PvE patch, it's just making you and me more violent

Overview

  • Shared Watch runs Feb. 10–24 and steers play toward cooperative ARC hunting, with PvP still possible but offering no event Merits.
  • Merits accrue only from ARC damage, assists, and kills at a rate of 100 XP per Merit, with 1,050 Merits needed to clear all 21 tiers.
  • The rewards track includes the Slugger outfit, Raider Tokens, blueprints such as Tactical Mk. 3 (Healing) and Vita Spray, and a Scrappy batting helmet.
  • Update 1.15.0 returns the Cold Snap condition to outdoor maps and delivers fixes and tuning, including Trailblazer grenades no longer damaging through walls and rebalanced damage versus small and large enemies.
  • Embark frames Shared Watch as the first in a run of Expeditions, with registration for the next opening Feb. 25 and a Mar. 1 start that carries forward persistent bonuses for consecutive participation.
