  "textContent": "ARC Raiders new \"Shrouded Sky\" update brings new ARCs, dynamic stormy weather, a new player project called The Weather Monitoring System, and a new free Raider Deck! In addition, a new player expedition will run from February 25th to March 1st. For full details read the below:\n\n> Today,  _Embark Studios_ revealed the fourth major update for ** _ARC Raiders_** —  _Shrouded Sky_ , continuing the game’s post-launch growth. The update brings dynamic storm conditions, two new ARC threats, a multi-stage seasonal player project, the debut of the third free Raider Deck, an expanded Dam Battlegrounds map, a new Expedition Window, and more. The ** _ARC Raiders_** Shrouded Sky update launches FEBRUARY 24 on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and NVIDIA GeForce NOW, and will be available at no additional cost to all players.\n>\n> **Weather Update: Hurricanes Storm Their Way Through**\n\n> Hurricanes arrive as a permanent rotating map condition across Blue Gate, Buried City, Spaceport and Dam Battlegrounds. Visibility fades, sound is swallowed by the wind, movement slows and shields steadily drain beneath relentless gusts and flying debris, turning every raid into a desperate fight against the storm. The Hurricane map condition introduces new gameplay challenges requiring players to adapt their strategies and tactics to survive.\n>\n> **Two New ARC Machines Threaten Raiders**\n\n> Two new ARC machines stalk Raiders:  _Fireflies_ and  _Comets_. The Firefly is a floating nightmare: an armored flying machine that screeches as it emits a jet of flame, which Raiders need to avoid in order to survive. The Comet is a spherical ARC machine bigger and badder than a Pop. It will lock on to the unsuspecting Raider, honking and relentlessly chasing them before detonating.\n>\n> **Monitoring Unstable Weather Conditions**\n\n> During  _Shrouded Sky_ , players can participate in a new Seasonal Player Project –  _The Weather Monitoring System_. Players need to investigate why hurricanes are taking place, and brave the storm to scavenge for items topside to build a Weather Monitoring system. The five-stage Project rewards Raiders with gameplay items, 250 Raider Tokens and the  _Anemometer_ Backpack Charm upon completion.\n>\n> The  _Weather Monitoring System_ Player Project will be available from Tuesday, February 24 to Tuesday, March 31, and will not be impacted by Expedition resets.\n>\n> **New Surgeon Raider Deck**\n\n> Shrouded Sky introduces a third Raider Deck, available for free to all players who’ve purchased either edition of the game. The  _Surgeon_ Raider Deck will be permanently accessible to players without any time restrictions.\n>\n> The Deck includes new unlockable rewards such as  _Raider Tokens_ , cosmetic items and more. It also features a surgeon-inspired Raider outfit in multiple color variants, along with a beard customization option and a backpack.\n>\n> **New Expedition Window Open**\n>\n>  Adding a plethora of new features, the second Expedition window will start on Wednesday, February 25, one day after the update launch and closes on Sunday, March 1.\n>\n> Players will receive the following:\n>\n> - 5 permanent Skill Points on top of those obtained during the previous Expedition window\n>\n> - Players who did not receive the full 5 skill points during the first Expedition will be able to catch up during the second Expedition to receive a full 10 skill points\n>\n> - Additional Permanent Stash Space - Extra space which increases to a maximum of 24 extra spaces\n>\n> - Evolution of the Patchwork outfit**** - A new cosmetic that includes additional toggles and color variation\n> New Scrappy outfit\n>\n> For this Expedition, the required Stash value for maximum rewards has been lowered to three million Coins (600k per Skill Point). The reward will still be five Skill Points for reaching the three million Stash value. This Expedition also introduces a new Skill Point catch up system for Raiders who couldn’t amass enough Coins during the first Expedition.\n>\n> **Dam Battlegrounds Map Expansion**\n>\n>  Dam Battlegrounds will be expanded, adding a new interior area to explore and a new set of quests.\n>\n> Check out the new content in action in the trailer HERE, and read the full breakdown of what’s coming in ** _ARC Raiders_** ’ Shrouded Sky update on the website HERE. ** _ARC Raiders_** Standard and Deluxe editions are available on PC via the  _Epic Games Store_ and  _Steam_,  _PlayStation 5_,  _Xbox Series X|S_, and on cloud streaming through  _Nvidia GeForce NOW_.
