ARC Raiders Reveals Patch Notes for Update 1.30.0

On May 26th, ARC Raiders received an update (version 1.30.0) that includes new color options for the Leviathan outfit, improvements to the recently added trader Ermal, and a few other small tweaks. This follows a larger update on May 19th that brought many new features and items to the game.

So, the new 1.30.0 patch for ARC Raiders is being called a ‘store update,’ but honestly, it’s not really new stuff. It just adds two new colors – Midnight and Crimson Frost – for the Leviathan outfit, which is already out. The cool part is, if you already own the Leviathan set, you’ll get these colors automatically – no need to grind or spend anything extra! It’s a nice little bonus, but not a huge content drop.

ARC Raiders’ Update Changes How Expedition Vault Works

A recent update to ARC Raiders significantly changes how the Expedition Vault works. Now, all levels of the Vault cost 200,000 Credits. The developers made this change to promote more player trading. Before, the first level cost 200,000 Credits, but the cost increased for each subsequent level, up to 1,000,000 Credits for the final level.

Tier Previous Cost New Cost
One 200,000 200,000
Two 400,000 200,000
Three 600,000 200,000
Four 800,000 200,000
Five 1,000,000 200,000

If you’re new to ARC Raiders, the Vault Expedition is a recently added feature. It lets players protect important items and keep them safe when leaving a raid.
