How to Unlock the ARC Raiders x The Finals Crossover Skin? Complete Step-By-Step Guide

The latest crossover between ARC Raiders and THE FINALS gives players a chance to earn an exclusive cosmetic bundle by playing across both games. As part of the ARC Raiders 1.36.0 update, Embark Studios has introduced the Azimuth Outfit and Archeologist Backpack bundle, inspired by explorers and contestants who venture beyond the ordinary.

However, unlocking the crossover reward isn’t automatic; it requires completing a set of Contracts in THE FINALS during the event period. Here’s everything you need to know to claim the exclusive skin, along with the other exciting additions included in the latest update.

Getting the crossover reward in ARC Raiders is simple as long as you participate during the event window and follow these steps (via Embark Studios):

1. Download or launch THE FINALS: The game is free to play, so anyone can join the event.
2. Log in with the account linked to your Embark ID: This ensures your rewards can be transferred correctly to ARC Raiders.
3. Wait for the crossover event to begin. The first phase runs from July 9 at 3:00 PM CEST until July 30 at 3:00 PM CEST.
4. Complete the required Contracts in THE FINALS. Embark will specify the event Contracts once the crossover goes live.
5. Claim the rewards. After completing the Contracts, you’ll unlock the Azimuth Outfit and Archeologist Backpack bundle for use in ARC Raiders.

NOTE: Make sure that the Embark ID is the same for both games.

While following the above steps is simple, to unlock the skin faster, keep these things in mind:

• Start early instead of waiting until the final week. This gives you enough time to complete any required Contracts without rushing.
• Play during the active event period. Make sure you’re completing Contracts after the crossover begins and before the deadline expires.
• Keep an eye on official event announcements. If additional objectives or claim instructions are shared, you’ll be able to complete them without missing any rewards.

It’s also worth remembering that this promotion works both ways. After July 30, Embark will flip the event, allowing players to earn the Azimuth bundle in THE FINALS by playing ARC Raiders instead.

More Exciting Content Arriving with ARC Raiders Update 1.36.0

Even if the crossover isn’t your main reason for jumping back into the game, the latest update offers plenty of reasons to return. The patch introduces Expedition 4, featuring the new Zenith Outfit, alongside Trials Season 5, where players can earn the Scorta Outfit through seasonal progression.

One of the biggest gameplay improvements is the revamped matchmaking system. Solo, Duo, and Trio matches now track player behavior independently, meaning your preferred playstyle in one mode won’t affect matchmaking in another.

Whether you enjoy peaceful solo scavenging or intense trio PvP battles, each queue now develops its own matchmaking profile for more consistent games. The update also includes a redesigned in-game store, the new Triumph Set, quality-of-life improvements, matchmaking tweaks, and numerous bug fixes.

Combined with the crossover event, these additions make Update 1.36.0 one of the most content-rich patches for ARC Raiders so far, giving both new and returning players plenty of reasons to explore the Rust Belt once again.
