ARC Raiders update 1.30.0: new Leviathan color variants and Expedition Vault changes
ARC Raiders, developed by Embark Studios, released patch 1.30.0 on May 26, 2026, bringing a range of changes and additions. The latest update introduces new color variants for the Leviathan outfit, along with important adjustments to the Expedition Vault and new weekly offers from trader Ermal.
New colors for the Leviathan set
One of the standout additions in this patch is the new color variants for the Leviathan set, called Midnight and Crimson Frost. Players who already own the Leviathan outfit will receive these new variants automatically, without needing to unlock anything extra. This means players who previously chose this set can now enjoy even more cosmetic options.
Changes to Expedition Vault
A major change affects the Expedition Vault. The cost for all tiers is now set at 200,000 Credits, regardless of the vault level. This significantly simplifies the pricing structure, which previously increased gradually up to 1,000,000 Credits for the highest tier. The developers say this is a deliberate choice to encourage more trading between players. The previous requirements were as follows:
Tier 1: 200,000 Credits
Tier 2: 400,000 Credits
Tier 3: 600,000 Credits
Tier 4: 800,000 Credits
Tier 5: 1,000,000 Credits
Ermal's weekly offers
With the May 26 update, new weekly offers are also available through Ermal, the trader in ARC Raiders. The offers include the Chap Outfit, a backpack charm, the Anvil Splitter weapon, and the highly sought-after Wolfpack blueprint. Prices for these items vary depending on the availability of certain resources:
Chap Outfit: 500,000 High-Tier ARC Parts
Soda Can Charm: 100,000 High-Tier ARC Parts
Wolfpack Blueprint: 500,000 High-Tier ARC Parts
Anvil Splitter: 100,000 High-Tier ARC Parts

Future updates and troubleshooting

These updates will be used as an opportunity to incorporate player feedback and make adjustments, while still leaving room for hotfixes when needed. The team is also aware of performance issues on Xbox and PC caused by patch 1.29.0 and is actively working on fixes, but there is currently no exact timeline for when these issues will be resolved.
