Arc Raiders is nearing its launch, but don’t miss the chance to cop some fresh cosmetics before it kicks off.

Arc Raiders is almost here, but there’s a whole Server Slam testing period to work through before it will be ready to be unveiled as a finished product. It’s nice to see a new shooter take to the stage during the ongoing clash between Battlefield and Call of Duty, especially one that has so much to offer, as revealed by a new peek at Arc Raider’s maps and monsters.

The game is set to deliver on a lot of exciting content, especially as total player customisation appears to be a pretty big part of the title’s draw, after all we’ve had to work with in leading shooters is bog-standard operator skins and goofy nonsense. Plus, in greater news, there are a few goodies that players can lock down before they officially begin their adventure across this machine-infested world, providing they’re willing to invest both money and time into the title.

So, what are these Arc Raiders bonus cosmetics, and how can you get them? Here’s what you need to know.

If you’re keen to get stuck into the final testing period for the game when the Arc Raiders Server Slam start time arrives, you’ll earn yourself a new cosmetic to carry into the full game Your participation in the test, regardless of platform, will earn you the Server Slammer Backpack completely for free when the full game launches. Just remember to use the same Embark ID in the full game as you did for the testing period, and you’re golden.

Arc Raiders bonus cosmetics –pre-order bonuses

Arc Raiders bonus cosmetics were always on the cards for players who wanted to pre-order the game, but the deal recently got a little sweeter. When we first took a look at the maps and monsters of Arc Raiders, we pointed out that a new blog post revealed that another pack of cosmetics would come to users keen enough to pre-order the game.

If you pre-order the game now (or have already done so,) you’ll unlock the Bruiser bundle featuring the Bruised Face Style, Punch Hands Emote and Boxing Gloves Backpack, along with the pre-existing Lucky Duck bundle, which comes packaged with the Hatchling Backpack and Glden Rubber Duck Backpack Charm.

It’s a good collection of items for you to get your hands on if you’re willing to go all-in on the title before it launches. After all, if you’re going topside, you might as well be dripped out, just in case the Arcs have an eye for fashion that’ll force them to spare you from their brutal lasers. We doubt it, but it’s worth a try.
