The crossover between ARC Raiders and The Finals is simple: play matches in The Finals, get a free outfit in ARC Raiders. The reward is a Ryder outfit recolor that swaps ARC Raiders’ usual muted palette for a bold red-and-white look themed around The Finals.
What the ARC Raiders x The Finals outfit actually is
The reward is a skin recolor for the Ryder outfit in ARC Raiders. Players who have seen it describe it as a bright red Ryder variant with white accents, clearly styled after The Finals’ branding rather than the more rugged ARC Raiders look.
A few key points to keep in mind:
- It’s an ARC Raiders cosmetic. You do not get anything inside The Finals itself from this promotion; the outfit is used only in ARC Raiders.
- It recolors an existing outfit. Ryder is not new; the promotion unlocks an additional colorway themed around The Finals.
- It’s tied to your Embark account. Once unlocked, it travels with you on any platform where you play ARC Raiders using the same Embark ID.
How the promotion works in The Finals
The crossover is framed as a simple contract inside The Finals. You play on Embark’s arena shooter, and ARC Raiders hands you a cosmetic reward.
In practical terms, the requirement is straightforward:
- Play 3 full matches in any mode in The Finals. There is no difficulty requirement and no need to win, but you must complete each match rather than quitting early.
You do not spend currency or buy a bundle. The trade is time only: three complete games for a cosmetic in ARC Raiders plus a small amount of XP in The Finals itself.
Unlock the outfit via The Finals
Step 1: Install The Finals on your platform of choice (Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox). Use the same Embark account you already use for ARC Raiders when you first log in. This account link is what lets the game award the skin to the correct ARC Raiders profile.
Step 2: From The Finals’ main menu, open the Play tab. Choose any standard game mode you prefer and queue for a match.
Step 3: Play the match all the way through. Leaving early risks the round not being counted toward the three-match requirement.
Step 4: Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 two more times. You can stay in the same mode for all three games; the promotion does not restrict you to a specific playlist.
Step 5: After your third finished match, return to the main menu and check the dedicated ARC Raiders tab mentioned in-game. The contract there should display as completed. At this point, the reward is associated with your Embark account and will be delivered to ARC Raiders.
Tip: If you ever played ARC Raiders first and only now installed The Finals, you still use the same Embark login. There is no need to create a new account just for the arena shooter.
How the reward is delivered to ARC Raiders
Once the contract is cleared in The Finals, ARC Raiders handles the cosmetic on its side. Delivery is not instant in some cases; players have reported a short delay between finishing their third match and seeing the outfit appear.
Delivery works like this:
- Embark account check. The system checks your Embark ID for the completed The Finals contract.
- Mailbox notification. ARC Raiders sends you in-game mail describing the crossover reward.
- Cosmetic unlock. The Ryder recolor becomes selectable in your character customization menu.
Note: If you do not see the outfit immediately, give the system some time and restart ARC Raiders once. Community reports suggest that a delay of tens of minutes is not unusual on a busy patch day.
Where to find the outfit in ARC Raiders
Step 1: Launch ARC Raiders and sign in with the same Embark account used in The Finals.
Step 2: From the main menu, open the Raiders tab to enter your Raider den.
Step 3: Select the Customization option, then choose Outfit. This is where all full-body cosmetics, including Ryder, live.
Step 4: Highlight the Ryder outfit. In the available variants, look for the red-and-white colorway themed around The Finals. It may be labeled with The Finals branding in your selection menu.
Step 5: Equip the recolor and back out to save. The outfit will be active the next time you deploy topside.
Tip: If you have a large cosmetic library, scroll through all Ryder variants deliberately; the crossover recolor uses an existing outfit silhouette, so the only change is its color and branding.
Requirements, limitations, and common problems
Most issues people run into with the crossover come down to account and timing rather than gameplay.
- Same Embark ID on both games. If you accidentally created different Embark accounts for ARC Raiders and The Finals, the system cannot match your progress. You may need to adjust which login you use so both games share one ID.
- Three full rounds, not partial games. Disconnecting or quitting mid-match can prevent a round from counting. If you are missing credit, play an extra clean match from start to end.
- Reward delay. Multiple players have completed the requirement and not seen the cosmetic immediately. In these cases, the skin typically appears later via in-game mail without further action.
If you have completed three clear matches on the correct account and waited through at least one ARC Raiders restart without receiving mail or seeing the outfit, it is reasonable to contact Embark’s support through the official help channels for your platform.
How long the ARC Raiders x The Finals crossover lasts
The promotion is tied to ARC Raiders’ Cold Snap 1.7.0 era, but there is no explicit in-game timer shown alongside the contract. Players discussing the event treat it as an ongoing crossover rather than a one-day or weekend-only event.
Without an on-screen countdown, it is safest to treat it as a limited-time promotion that could end with a future seasonal update. If the outfit matters to you, completing three matches in The Finals while the Cold Snap content is fresh avoids missing an unannounced end date.
The crossover is intentionally low friction: three short arena matches in The Finals unlock a permanent, account-wide Ryder recolor in ARC Raiders. As long as you use the same Embark ID, finish your games, and give the system time to deliver the mail, the cosmetic becomes a straightforward way to carry a little arena-show flair into your extraction runs.
