A year after launch, ARC Raiders is still one of the most-played extraction shooters, and Embark Studios keeps shipping small updates. On November 5, 2026, it released Hotfix 2.4.1 to fix a closed extract that could still be used, an invisibility bug and Xbox crashes. Here is what the official patch notes say, what came before and after it, and what Embark has (and has not) said about the next steps. All Embark pages were read on November 12, 2026 around 3:20 PM Paris time; TricknFix has not reproduced these bugs.
1. What Hotfix 2.4.1 fixes (November 5, 2026)
Embark says the hotfix was rolled out “to address a few issues” and that you need to restart the game to download it. The official list:
Seed Vault: “Fixed an issue where players could enter the Seed Vault extract while it was closed.”
Ballistic Gondola: “Fixed an issue where exiting the the Ballistic Gondola could make players invisible.” (typo in Embark’s original).
Residential buildings: “Fixed several invisible collision issues inside residential buildings.”
Xbox: “Fixed several issues causing crashes on Xbox.” Embark does not detail which crashes or which Xbox models.
New language: Ukrainian is now supported.
2. The two store updates around it: 2.4.0 and 2.5.0
Store Update 2.4.0 (November 3, 2026) added the Dead Eye Set and fixed “the Raider Tool appearing as default with different skins equipped”. No restart required.
Store Update 2.5.0 (November 10, 2026) added two colour variants for the Vanguard Set (Orange and Black/White). No restart required, and no bug fix is listed.
3. When do fixes arrive? Embark’s three-week rhythm
In the Live Update 2.3.0 notes (October 27, 2026), Embark wrote that after including fixes in weekly updates since Frozen Trail, “after today we will go back to the regular schedule of fixes every three weeks and store updates on a weekly basis”. The 2.4.0 post repeats it: weekly store updates, fixes every three weeks, while the team keeps “a close eye out for any critical issues”. Hotfix 2.4.1 shows that urgent fixes can still land between those updates. Embark has not published the date of the next fix update; any date you see elsewhere is a guess.
4. Still crashing or stuck? What to do
Restart the game so Hotfix 2.4.1 downloads (Embark’s own instruction), then check that your platform shows the update as installed.
Our tip: if you were invisible or stuck in a collision before November 5, test again after the update before reporting it; if it still happens, report it with the map, location and time, as Embark asks for reports (“keep them coming”).
On PC, launch crashes (EAC 30005, ARAV8007, exit codes) are a different problem, covered in our guide: https://tricknfix.com/articles/arc-raiders-pc-crash-on-launch-eac-30005-arav8007-exit-code-0-0x1-0x3-embark-official-fixes/
5. And the PvE toggle?
On October 20, 2026, Embark said more than 30 million PvE rounds were played during its limited-time PvE matchmaking toggle test, that the test “has been polarizing”, and that it expected “to be able to follow up with further information in November”. As of November 12, 2026 (around 3:20 PM Paris time), the official ARC Raiders news page shows no follow-up post on the PvE test.
