ARC Raiders Store Update 1.43.0 is now live. This update is relatively small, focusing on new store items, the continuation of Phantom Targets event, and community activities. At the same time, the official team has once again reminded players to be aware of account security and anti-cheat issues. Let's take a closer look at what Store Update 1.43.0 brings.
Heavy Duty Roamer Set

The highlight of this store update is undoubtedly the newly added heavy duty Roamer Set. Judging from its name and positioning, this set of gear is tailor-made for Raiders who dare to venture deep into the surface and engage in long-term exploration. Whether it's durability or endurance, Roamer Set aims to help players go further and survive longer in the perilous surface environment.
To experience this new gear, simply restart the game, update to the latest version, and then go to the in-game store to view and unlock it. The addition of Roamer Set, a new shop addition in version 1.43.0, further enriches players' gear options.

Phantom Targets Event is Underway
Phantom Targets event is now in its crucial phase and will continue until September 6th. Raiders must venture to the surface to hunt the aberrant Wasps - ARC units exhibiting unusual behavior never before seen by Shani, emitting strange noises and carrying mysterious malfunctioning technology.
By participating in the event and contributing to the research, players will earn a range of generous rewards:
- Anomalia Outfit - the core reward of Phantom Targets Part 2, a limited-edition, futuristic outfit
- Finger Guns Wave emote - a fun and interactive emote
- Trashpile Bag - a unique wasteland-style decoration
- Raider Tokens - can be used to redeem in-game items

The official statement says these rewards will help you prepare for the upcoming challenges. For ARC Raiders items collectors and players looking to express their individuality in the wasteland, this is undoubtedly an opportunity not to be missed. It's worth noting that the Phantom Targets event already launched its second phase in update 1.42.0, and update 1.43.0 continues this event. If you haven't started participating yet, now is a good time to catch up - the event ends on September 6th, so time is limited.
Anti-Cheat Enhancement: Linked Account Risk Warning
As the studio continues to strengthen its anti-cheat efforts, 1.43.0 update brings an important account security warning.
The official statement clearly states that if someone (whether or not with your permission) logs into your account and is found cheating, even if the cheating was not done by you personally, your account may still be banned.
This means that account security is no longer just about personal privacy; it directly affects your game progress, purchased content, and future gaming eligibility. To avoid such situations, the official recommendation is for players to immediately take the following security measures through their login platforms (Steam, Sony, Xbox, Epic, etc.):
- Use a strong and unique password
- Enable two-factor authentication
- Never share your login information with anyone
It's important to emphasize that this warning is not unfounded. The official team has been continuously strengthening its anti-cheat measures - in July of this year, they completed the full deployment of Denuvo Anti-Cheat to all players; simultaneously, the studio is collaborating with Anybrain to improve hardware detection, software detection, and machine learning-based telemetry analysis.
Previously, the official team also implemented a strict joint-account ban policy for Steam Family Sharing. The tightening of account association in version 1.43.0 is the latest step in this series of anti-cheat measures.
Wasp Week Community Highlights Submissions Still Open
The official team is still accepting player submissions and plans to select Top 5. The final selected works will receive a Wasp Hunter DLC set.
The official announcement specifically mentioned some interesting submission directions, such as riding a Wasp through the air, using a Snap Hook to pull a Wasp to the ground, or repeatedly using a Snitch Scanner to provoke a swarm of Wasps.
For ARC Raiders, this kind of activity is also quite in line with the game's characteristics. Unplanned chaos often occurs during raids: ARC, other Raiders, resource points, and extraction routes interfere with each other, easily creating exciting moments that cannot be deliberately crafted in ordinary missions.
Therefore, if you've been farming Phantom Targets or dealing with Wasps recently, you can record some interesting combat clips and try submitting them for this Community Highlights.
Gamescom 2026 Ongoing
In addition to in-game content, the official announcement also stated that ARC Raiders team will be participating in Gamescom from August 26th to August 30th, preparing merchandise and some free items, and also mentioned that they will be traveling with Scrappy.
However, judging from the timing, Gamescom falls right at a crucial stage in the current content rollout of ARC Raiders. The official announcement of the fifth Expedition and the confirmation that Frozen Trail will launch on October 8th are just some of the details. Let's look forward to seeing if they reveal any more future content during Gamescom.
Overall, while Store Update 1.43.0 isn't a massive release, it adds a significant amount of content to the current version, from new items and event continuations to anti-cheat measures and community activities. With Gamescom progressing and Expedition and Frozen Trail approaching, it remains to be seen what other news ARC Raiders will bring.
