ARC Raiders has officially reached a major milestone, with over 12 million players joining the fight and making the journey from Speranza to the dangerous Rust Belt since launch.

Originally, the development team planned to celebrate when the game hit 10 million players by preparing a special in-game reward. But thanks to the community’s incredible support during the winter break, the player count soared far beyond expectations.

To show their appreciation, the developers are gifting the prestigious Gilded Pickaxe Raider Tool to all players who logged in anytime between launch and January 13 at 23:59 CET. The reward will be automatically added to eligible accounts when today’s update goes live.

The ARC Raiders team shared their gratitude for the overwhelming support, saying they are proud and humbled by the passion of their growing community. As the New Year begins, they’re excited to continue expanding the game and building new experiences for Raiders around the world.
