As the dust settles from an intense battle, a group of Raiders finds themselves banding together, facing a menacing wave of ARC enemies. They realize, in that moment, that cooperation is not just a strategy—it’s their survival. The latest update to Arc Raiders introduces a thrilling opportunity for teamwork, highlighting the real challenge that lies ahead.
With the release of update 1.15.0, the Arc Raiders community is treated to a trove of fresh and familiar content. Among the highlights is the Cold Snap map condition, making its triumphant return to the game’s rotation. But the centerpiece of this update is the captivating Shared Watch event, designed to foster camaraderie among players, illustrating that unity is their greatest weapon against the fearsome ARC adversaries.
The Cooperative Hero’s Guide to Collecting Merits
The Shared Watch event is all about collaboration, and there’s a simple way for you to collect Merits: deal damage and take down ARC enemies. Each time you support your fellow Raiders in slaying these foes, you bolster your own score, creating a powerful synergy that rewards teamwork. For every 100 XP earned from defeating an ARC enemy, you receive 1 Merit. It’s a strategy that invites players to focus on the real threats lurking in the shadows—leaving behind the trivial distractions of player-versus-player conflict.
In this event, the countdown has begun: from February 10, 2026, to February 26, 2026. Mark your calendars, as the conclusion of this event aligns beautifully with the Shrouded Sky update, promising even more excitement on the horizon.
How Do I Earn More Merits in the Shared Watch Event?
Every moment spent focusing on ARC enemies pays dividends in terms of Merits. Remember, while PvP elements exist, focusing solely on taking down your fellow Raiders won’t yield any rewards. Instead, direct your energies toward defeating the hostile ARCs to advance through the event and earn those coveted rewards.
