ARC Raiders Launches 'Shared Watch' Co-Op Event Focused on PvE Through Feb. 24

The two-week trial steers players toward cooperative PvE to gauge demand for longer-term options.

Overview

  • Embark Studios set the event to run globally from February 10 to 24 on the game's usual rollout schedule, including 5 a.m. ET and 10 a.m. UTC.
  • Shared Watch emphasizes teaming up against ARC machines with a cooperative focus, but reporters note it is not a true PvE-only mode and PvP can still occur.
  • The event sits apart from the upcoming Shrouded Sky update and is framed as a limited-time test rather than a permanent feature.
  • Players can earn XP and Merits to unlock rewards such as Raider Tokens, usable items, and a new cosmetic set called The Slugger.
  • The announcement was quietly posted on social channels, reflecting community requests for more PvE play and arriving shortly before Expedition 2 in Speranza.
