Since the release of ARC Raiders Flashpoint update the day before yesterday, you may already completed several raids featuring brand-new map conditions and ARC enemies. But have you found the new weapons yet?

As the first ARC Raiders update of 2026 to introduce new gear, Flashpoint brings with it two new firearms, Canto and Dolabra, as well as a special electrical device: Surge Coil.

While this new gear isn't necessarily more powerful than existing items, it certainly offers a fresh experience! If you haven't acquired them yet, why not follow this guide to farm for them?

Surge Coil

Surge Coil is a quick-use defensive device. Once deployed, it periodically electrifies the surrounding area; anyone entering the radius will receive an electric shock that briefly stuns them.

So Surge Coil is an ideal item to deploy in advance when you are scavenging for loot in a small area by yourself, helping to prevent other players from ambushing and looting you.

How to obtain it?

This item can only be obtained through crafting. You will need to farm for the corresponding ARC Raiders blueprints, then gather the following materials to complete the crafting process at Explosives Station:

• 1x Electrical Components
• 1x Sensors
• 1x Hornet Driver

Surge Coil blueprint has a chance to appear in any container on the map following Electromagnetic Storm event. The drop rate is reasonably high, and you have an even greater chance of finding it inside locked rooms.

Electrical Components can be found while scavenging, or they can be crafted at a Refiner 1 station by consuming Plastic Parts and Rubber Parts.

Sensors drop after killing Snitches and Surveyors; they can also sometimes be found by looting Androids or Server Racks. If you have enough seeds, you can also acquire them by trading with Celeste.

As for Hornet Driver, it drops after killing any number of Hornets; you may also find a few by looting any ARC Couriers you encounter.

Canto

This is a fully automatic, large-caliber submachine gun that uses medium-caliber ammunition. It possesses a moderate level of penetration against ARC armor.

Although Canto's damage per shot isn't particularly high, its rapid fire rate ensures that its overall performance is slightly superior to that of other common SMGs.

Additionally, it is worth noting that Canto is currently the only firearm in the game that requires upgrades to increase its magazine capacity.

However, once upgraded to its maximum level, its total damage output per magazine remains quite impressive. And if you struggle to manage recoil, Canto might not be the right fit for you.

How to obtain it?

Since Canto was introduced only recently, known methods for finding the weapon itself are currently quite limited; therefore, we highly recommend obtaining it through crafting instead.

To do so, you will need to upgrade your workshop to Gunsmith 3, locate the blueprint, and gather the following materials:

• 2x Advanced Mechanical Components (Scavenging, killing Matriarchs and Queens, crafting)
• 5x Magnets (Scavenging, trading with Celeste)
• 3x Medium Gun Parts (Scavenging, killing Bastions and Sentinels, crafting, trading with Celeste)

Currently, the most reliable method for farming Canto blueprints is to open caches during the Hurricane map event. However, the tricky part is that these caches contain a wide variety of potential blueprints.

Consequently, if Canto is the only item you are after, you may need to invest a significant amount of time farming in Hurricane event. That said, as the game progresses, it will probably be added to a wider range of loot pools.

Dolabra

This is arguably the most anticipated piece of new gear, after all, it even received its own dedicated teaser short! As an energy clip-powered shotgun, Dolabra offers two distinct firing modes.

More specifically, when you aim down sights (ADS), its energy beam becomes highly focused and concentrated, allowing for precise, long-range strikes.

Conversely, if you choose to hip-fire, Dolabra's shot spread mimics that of a traditional shotgun, making it ideal for clearing out groups of lower-level enemies.

In essence, you can leverage these two vastly different firing modes to flexibly switch between them based on the immediate combat situation, a capability that proves invaluable during chaotic firefights.

While the shotgun mode may arguably outperform the focused-beam mode, the sheer value of having two distinct weapon effects packed into a single equipment slot makes it an undeniably worthwhile choice.

How to obtain it?

Currently, the only confirmed method for obtaining this weapon is through crafting, and its blueprint can only be acquired by looting a special device known as ARC Assessor.

ARC Assessor is periodically air-dropped onto the battlefield during Close Scrutiny, a new map condition introduced in Flashpoint update. You must travel to the designated drop site and forcibly breach the device to retrieve its contents.

It is worth noting that activating an Assessor will attract a greater number of other ARC enemies; moreover, the surrounding area is likely to be swarming with other players waiting to loot, making for a chaotic scene.

Therefore, we recommend bringing smoke grenades and a Photoelectric Cloak when farming for Dolabra blueprint. This allows you to discreetly locate the spawn point while others are embroiled in combat, quickly secure the reward, and make your escape.

Additional materials required to craft Dolabra include:

• 3x Shredder Gyro (Scavenging; obtained by killing Shredders)
• 3x Magnetic Accelerator (Scavenging; obtained by killing Matriarchs and Queens, or via crafting)
• 2x Vaporizer Regulator (Scavenging; obtained by looting ARC Couriers or by killing the new enemy type, Vaporizer)

That covers all the current methods for obtaining the three new gear items introduced in ARC Raiders Flashpoint Update, along with their primary combat effects. Without further ado, get out there and start farming and crafting!

This Friday, April 3, marks the return of Trophy Titans, a promotion that has been absent for three years. Many players are excited, as every player featured in this event is exceptionally useful.

A significant amount of leaked information has already surfaced, including the roster for Trophy Titans Team 1 and details on some SBCs. Before April Fools' Day truly kicks off, let's dive into these relatively credible leaks and how you can prepare in advance.

What is Trophy Titans Promotion?

Since this promotion hasn't appeared in EA FC 25 or even 24, newer players might not understand why it's generating so much excitement. To grasp that, we need to go back three years to FIFA 23 and see what made it a classic.

Trophy Titans Cards

Trophy Titans promotion was the first event in EA FC series history to feature only Icon and Hero cards. In FIFA 23, every selected player had dynamic images of them holding a trophy, making them highly desirable collectibles. More importantly, these cards were remarkably accessible.

FIFA 23 Trophy Titans promotion introduced "Baby" versions of Icons - for instance, an 88 OVR Alessandro Del Piero, whose value once dropped as low as 14,000 FC 26 coins, allowing everyday players to easily acquire Icon players. While the premium versions remained valuable, these Baby versions offered incredible value and sometimes even boasted stats superior to their Prime variants.

Trophy Titans SBC

Squad Building Challenges during Trophy Titans promotion were equally noteworthy. In FIFA 23, Roy Keane's SBC was widely praised for its outstanding performance and reasonable cost. Additionally, Frank Lampard's objectives were quite distinctive, allowing players to earn three different-rated versions of Lampard (86, 90, 93) by completing a series of tasks. In FC 26, such lower-rated cards can serve as excellent candidates for Evolutions.

Trophy Titans Leaked Players

According to the latest leaks, the player pool for this Trophy Titans event will be exceptionally star-studded, featuring giants like Zidane, Hullett, Ronaldinho, Totti, Morgan, Butragueño, and many more. Several of these players just received new cards during Team of the Year promotion and are now set to get another version.

This time around, there will also be Baby Heroes and Icons, giving players opportunities to acquire these athletes at a lower cost and then use Evolution system to turn them into top-tier competitors. Some of the elite cards will feature three PlayStyle+ slots, essentially signaling that FC 26 is entering the lead-up phase to Team of the Season. 

Below is the list of leaked Team 1 players - player stats are not included:

• Angerer
• Barzagli
• Beckenbauer
• Beckenbauer (Baby Version)
• Berbatov
• Bompastor
• Campbell
• Campbell (Baby Version)
• Cantona
• Carlos Puyol
• Carlos Puyol (Baby Version)
• Emilio Butragueño
• Emilio Butragueño (Baby Version)
• Fernando Hierro
• Fernando Morientes
• Gullit
• Hazard
• Kohler
• Morgan
• Nesta
• Nesta (Baby Version)
• Pizarro
• Prinz
• Prinz (Baby Version)
• Ronaldinho
• Shearer
• Shearer (Baby Version)
• Thuram
• Thuram (Baby Version)
• Totti
• Veron

Trophy Titans SBC Leaks

92 OVR Ricardo Kaká

• Pac: 92
• Sho: 88
• Pas: 90
• Dri: 92
• Def: 46
• Phy: 80

Ricardo Kaká is set to receive his first promotional SBC card of the year, rated 92 OVR. Featuring Incisive Pass and Finesse Shot - two highly sought-after PlayStyle+ - he will become a popular choice for the attacking midfielder position. While his base stats may not be the absolute highest, Ricardo Kaká has historically felt excellent to control in FIFA series and remains a fan favorite. As long as this SBC is reasonably priced, it will be well worth completing.

89 OVR Eden Hazard

• Pac: 94
• Sho: 88
• Pas: 87
• Dri: 92
• Def: 38
• Phy: 70

Compared to his premium versions, this card's lower rating means it has significant room for future improvement through Evolutions. You might be able to take this Hazard card during a future Team of the Season promotion and enhance his shooting and passing attributes via Evolution, giving him substantial potential.

Also leaked is former Real Madrid player Míchel Salgado, who will appear either as an SBC or as an Objective reward.

How to Prepare for Friday?

Sell Existing Icons

If you hold Icon cards for players who are about to receive new versions in this event, it is advisable to sell them soon. Trophy Titans promotion will release numerous new versions of these Icons, which typically drives down the value of their existing variants.

Road to the Final Cards

Your Road to the Final players are live cards that upgrade based on real-world match results. Their matches are about to begin, and their values may rise just before kickoff. Players like Victoria López have already seen some fluctuations. If you are considering investing in these cards, proceed with caution; holding onto some FC 26 coins to invest in Trophy Titans promotion may be a wiser move.

Fodder Cards

Promotions often come with a wave of SBC, which sharply increases demand for fodder players, such as 85 OVR cards and Team of the Week selections. A strategy with minimal risk is to acquire these cards when their value is low and sell them after the promotion goes live.

• 85 OVR players: can be secured for around 2,500 coins.
• Team of the Week players: can be secured for around 12,000 coins.

Many players are keeping a close eye on this promotion, so starting this Friday, it's shaping up to be a very busy week. Here's hoping Trophy Titans promotion lives up to its legacy from three years ago, and that you get the Icons you're after.
