ARC Raiders Store Update 2.4.0 Is Live: Dead Eye Set Arrives and the Raider Tool Skin Bug Is Fixed
Embark Studios pushed Store Update 2.4.0 to ARC Raiders on Tuesday, November 3, and it's a small one. According to the official patch post, the update adds the Dead Eye Set to the in-game store and fixes a bug where the Raider Tool showed up as the default look even when players had a different skin equipped. Best of all, Embark says no restart is required, so you can keep raiding while it rolls out.
What's in Store Update 2.4.0
The 2.4.0 notes list just two changes:
- Dead Eye Set: a new cosmetic set is now available in the store. Embark's post doesn't list its pieces or price, so check the store in-game for details.
- Raider Tool skin fix: the Raider Tool no longer falls back to its default appearance when you have a different skin equipped. If you paid for a custom look and kept seeing the stock tool, that should be sorted now.
Because it's a live update with no client restart, this isn't the kind of patch that touches weapons, ARC behavior or loot. Balance changes still come through the bigger fix drops.
Back to the regular schedule
The more useful part of the post is the reminder about timing. Embark says it is "back to our regular schedule" of weekly store updates and fixes every three weeks, and that the team is watching for critical issues (ARC Raiders).
That matches what the studio laid out in the Live Update 2.3.0 notes on October 27, which brought back the roughly three-week fix cycle alongside weekly store refreshes. It also sits inside the bigger plan from May, when Embark moved to two major updates a year with a live team handling fixes, store updates and events in between. Our Update 2.3 breakdown and year-two explainer cover that cadence in more detail.

Meanwhile: Embark on AI voices
The store drop lands a day after PC Gamer highlighted comments from Embark's audio team in the studio's "Evolution of ARC Raiders" video series. Executive producer Aleksander Grøndal said there was "some really fair criticism" of the game's AI-assisted voice lines, while audio director Bence Pajor argued it was "too impractical to record every possible version" of the ping dialogue as the game kept changing. PC Gamer notes Embark has since re-recorded lines to add more real human voices. We covered Grøndal's PvE comments here.
What's next
- Next week: if the weekly cadence holds, the next store update should land around Tuesday, November 10, though Embark hasn't confirmed a date.
- Next fix drop: counting three weeks from Update 2.3.0 on October 27 points to around mid-November. That's our math, not an announced date.
- PvE news: Embark has said it expects to share more on PvE this month; see our year-two explainer.
We'll update EarlyLoot as soon as Embark posts the next notes.
