Arc Raiders Shared Watch Event – All Rewards And How To Unlock Them

Embark Studios is kicking off February with a new Arc Raiders event that aims to bring topside raiders together. In the Shared Watch event, everyone is incentivized to work more closely together to take down the real enemy, ARC, so they can earn Merits used toward unlocking unique rewards, such as raider cosmetics, premium currency, and useful in-game items.

As with previous Arc Raiders events, the Shared Watch event sends you topside to earn XP that automatically grants you Merits. However, this time around, the XP will only grant you Merits when earned by defeating ARC. So, for every 100XP you earn while dealing damage or destroying an ARC foe, you’ll earn a single Merit. To unlock every item on the Shared Watch reward track, you’ll need a total of 1,050 Merits (105,000 XP).

If you want to be efficient, you’re probably best off destroying large ARC like Bastions, Bombardiers, Leapers, and Rocketeers. Since the whole point of the event is to convince raiders to work with one another, you’ll even get XP/Merits even for assisting with a kill, meaning there’s no need to hoard all those ARC for yourself.

Once you’ve gained enough Merits, you’ll be able to unlock everything in the Shared Watch event reward track. If you’d like to know what to expect before you dive in, we’ve got every reward below alongside how many Merits you’ll need to unlock them.
