Embark Studios released update 1.000.062 for ARC Raiders on October 9, 2026. This hotfix primarily targets technical stability and visual errors introduced with the major Frozen Trail 2.0 expansion, which launched just one day prior. The update requires a download of approximately 805 MB on PlayStation 5.
Stability and Technical Fixes
The 1.000.062 update addresses several critical performance issues to prevent gameplay interruptions. The primary focus of this hotfix is the resolution of multiple internal errors that resulted in server crashes.
- Server Stability: Resolved several distinct causes for server-side crashes identified after the 2.0 expansion launch.
- DLC Purchases: Fixed an error that prevented players from successfully completing purchases of DLC bundles.
- Map Collision: Fixed a specific collision bug on the Pendola Pass map where players could fall through a grate and become stuck, requiring a session restart.
Visual and Inventory Improvements
Several graphical bugs affecting player equipment and the user interface have been corrected. These changes ensure that weapons and attachments are rendered correctly during active gameplay and within menu screens.
- Weapon Meshes: Fixed a bug where weapon meshes would become partially invisible if specific weapon attachments were equipped.
- Inventory Rendering: Resolved an issue where weapon models were missing entirely when viewing the inventory.
Expansion Timeline and Context
This update follows the massive Frozen Trail 2.0 expansion released on October 8, 2026. This expansion brought significant changes to the game’s world, including the removal of the trader Ermal, who was replaced by a new character named Cassio.
Players should note that while the current 1.000.062 version focuses on immediate stability, previous content like the Rascal Grenade Launcher was integrated during the earlier 1.29.0 update in May 2026. The 1.000.062 hotfix ensures that these legacy items and new expansion content function correctly within the updated 2.0 environment.
