The latest ARC Raiders update 1.24.0 has officially rolled out, bringing a fresh batch of cosmetic content, important bug fixes, and exciting teasers for the upcoming Riven Tide update. While this patch is relatively small in scope, it sets the stage for a major content drop arriving later this April.
Here’s a complete breakdown of everything included in the update, along with what players can expect next.
With the weekly store refresh, players now have access to brand-new cosmetic sets, including the highly anticipated Nascosto Set and Speckled Set.

The Nascosto set offers deep customization options, making it one of the more versatile outfits in the game. Key features include:
* Multiple color variants (orange/black, green/red, gray/yellow)
* Removable hood and mask options
* Detachable chest pads and tech accessories
* Customizable gloves and leg accessories (including a unique flower attachment)
This set emphasizes modular design, allowing players to fine-tune their look with layered cosmetic choices.
Speckled Set & Scrappy Skin
The Speckled set introduces:
* A new Scrappy skin with a chicken-inspired design
* A themed backpack
* A baby chick pendant cosmetic
This set stands out for its more playful and stylized approach compared to the tactical feel of the Nascosto set.

* Reminder: High Gain Antenna project will expire before the Riven Tide update
Developers confirmed that:

This indicates the team is fully focused on polishing the upcoming major content drop.
The biggest highlight is the growing anticipation around the Riven Tide update, expected to launch on April 28.
New Map: Coastal Region Confirmed
A teaser email titled “Field Observation #1” reveals:

According to the roadmap, the Riven Tide update will include:
* A brand-new map
* A new large ARC enemy

This aligns with previous updates, where teaser images often directly reflect upcoming playable areas.
While update 1.24.0 is relatively minor, it plays an important role in:

With Season 3 approaching and the current expedition cycle ending soon, players can expect significant gameplay changes in the coming weeks.
