Shrouded Sky update gives Arc Raiders two new Arc threats, including flamethrower drone

A new free Raider Deck has also been introduced: The Surgeon. “The Surgeon cosmetic is gradually unlocked by completing the Raider Deck, but whether you want to be Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde is up to you,” reads Embark’s blog post detailing the new update. “Scrub up, take your oath, and head topside to heal… or wreak havoc.”

But new Arc threats and a free Raider Deck aren’t all the Shrouded Sky update is bringing to the table. Once Shrouded Sky goes live, players will also gain access to a brand-new feature: facial hair! The Stubble cosmetic will be instantly available to all players once the update has been released, while the Full Beard is an unlockable feature of the Surgeon Raider Deck. Two additional styles — the Stubble Beard and Thick Moustache — will be available to purchase via the in-game store starting Feb. 24.

“Don’t worry if it feels weird at first… it grows on you,” Embark joked in the Shrouded Sky blog post.

The Shrouded Sky update will also add a new map condition — the hurricane — to the game, along with a new project that sees players working with Shani to collect materials that will allow her to build a better weather-monitoring system. All of these updates will become available tomorrow via the Shrouded Sky update patch in Arc Raiders. You can read more details about the patch in Embark’s blog post.
