The Headwinds update arrives to Arc Raiders very soon – tomorrow, in fact – and not only does the latest tease give us the release date, it suggests a much-requested feature is coming too. You may finally be able to head in a formal team of up to four, rather than working as more informal allies.
Indeed, the official Arc Raiders social media accounts have posted that Headwind goes live on January 27. Besides that neat little bit of loot, there’s an image, containing one raider facing three others, except the encounter doesn’t seem adversarial. Perhaps they’re actually a team? A squad, perhaps?
“The fourth player is definitely NOT on their team in that image – it’s like a Western showdown,” says one fan on Twitter. “Possible that it could be a ‘Join Squad’ feature – the three are asking the raider to join and make four,” another suggests.
This seems plausible if it is, in fact, a squad feature. A way to properly become a team while on your current excursion, splitting spoils however many ways. Arc Raiders already allows people to enter rounds together in pairs or groups of three, whereas this might alter the complexion of the maps: higher rewards, but bigger threats.
The frequency of loot is a question mark among the community, since the current levels are just enough to sustain trios. “They’d need to significantly increase loot spawns, it already feels like slim pickings playing with three,” states another fan. We’ll see what comes when Headwinds rolls out tomorrow.
