Embark Studios does not offer an official public stats API that sites can use to show player profiles, raid history or Trials results. RankSurge only builds player lookups on official or clearly permitted data sources, so for ARC Raiders we publish guides instead of scraping data. Your own progress, Trials rank and Reward Pass level are shown in game. If Embark opens an official public API, we will look at adding a lookup. Until then, browse every game we cover in the RankSurge guide library.
Frequently asked questions
What is the latest ARC Raiders update?
The current major update is Frozen Trail (2.0), released on October 8, 2026, which added Pendola Pass, the ARC Frigate, the Outpost and Reward Passes. The latest patch is Hotfix 2.4.1 from November 5, 2026.
How many maps does ARC Raiders have?
Seven: Dam Battlegrounds, Buried City, Spaceport, The Blue Gate, Stella Montis, Riven Tides and Pendola Pass. Each map rotates through map conditions such as Night Raid or the ARC Frigate.
Does ARC Raiders have a ranked mode?
There is no PvP ranked mode. Trials, unlocked at level 15, give weekly scored challenges and a seasonal ladder from Rookie to Cantina Legend based on your combined scores.
Can I look up ARC Raiders stats on RankSurge?
Not yet. Embark Studios does not offer an official public stats API, so RankSurge does not run an ARC Raiders player lookup. Your progress and Trials rank are shown in game.
Are Expeditions coming back to ARC Raiders?
Yes, according to Embark. The fifth Expedition in September 2026 was the last until early 2027, when Expeditions are due to return with major improvements. An exact date is not announced.
Is RankSurge affiliated with Embark Studios?
No. RankSurge is an independent guides and stats site. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Embark Studios or Nexon, and all game names belong to their owners.
