The ARC Raiders Headwinds update is set to drop January 27th, 2026. In this update, we are set to receive more challenges, more cosmetics, and even a new gamemode.

New Gamemode

To start off the Headwinds update, ARC Raiders is releasing Solo v Squads mode. Players who have reached level 40 or higher, can queue into Squad lobbies as a solo player. This gamemode will increase the XP you earn as a solo player.

Trophy Display: Project

In other news, they are introducing a new feature called the Trophy Case. Build out your trophy case, progress through the levels, and unlock valuable items in the process. More on this will be documented when the update is dropped.

Bird City

With more birds hanging around the Buried City, they’ve introduced loot into chimneys. The official blog states the loot is valuable but to be careful.

New Cosmetics

Finally, Headwinds also sees the introduction of two new cosmetic sets. The cosmetic set is named Sandwalker Set, not much is known about this just yet.
