Arc Raiders Sets Feb. 24 Shrouded Sky Update With Hurricane Map Condition

Embark says the Hurricane turns weather into a core mechanic, rewarding those who play the wind.

Overview

  • The Shrouded Sky update arrives Tuesday, February 24, introducing the Hurricane as a new rotating map condition.
  • Embark details violent surface weather featuring high winds, heavy rain, flying debris, and sharply reduced visibility.
  • Wind direction will affect traversal and stamina—tailwinds speed you up while headwinds slow you—while throwables, smoke, gas, and even jumping behave differently.
  • Debris can degrade shields and cause visible sparking, forcing players to weigh when a shield is protection versus a liability.
  • Storms will unearth First Wave Caches for new loot, and the teaser suggests support on multiple maps such as Dam Battlegrounds, Spaceport, and possibly Blue Gate, with facial-hair customization also hinted.
