The official launch of ARC Raiders is almost upon us, and Embark has just dropped a surprise for anyone planning to grab the game early. Every pre-order now includes The Bruiser Bundle on top of The Lucky Duck Bundle, which will give players a few extra ways to stand out when the servers go live.
Two Bundles for Every Pre-Order
To celebrate this weekend’s Server Slam, Embark added a new reward called The Bruiser Bundle for everyone who pre-orders any edition of ARC Raiders before launch.
Here is what you get:
- Bruised Face Style
- Punch Hands Emote
- Boxing Gloves Backpack
The previously announced Lucky Duck Bundle is also still part of every pre-order, featuring the Hatchling Backpack and the Golden Rubber Duck Charm. Both bundles are purely cosmetic and available on every platform: Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, and Epic Games Store.
If you plan to join the Server Slam this weekend, here is everything you need to know.
Players React to Pre-Orders and Pricing
Next to Pre-Order bonuses, optimization has been another strong talking point. Early testers report excellent performance even on older GPUs like the GTX 1080 Ti, and (naturally) some are choosing their platform based on how well it runs.
Since ARC Raiders supports Xbox Play Anywhere, buying it on Xbox automatically unlocks the PC version, which players see as a great value move.
A Confident Start Before Launch
Overall, the sentiment around ARC Raiders feels very optimistic. The community respects Embark’s open communication and trusts them to deliver another fun experience after “The Finals”. The new pre-order bundles might not change the world, but they are a nice bonus for players already planning to jump in.
The real test begins this weekend with the Server Slam, and then the full release at the end of the month. Either way, ARC Raiders currently looks like one of the most interesting launches of the year.
