Arc Raiders 2.0 Adds Backpack Light Toggle, Enhancing Stealth Play [2026 Update]

As originally reported by PC Gamer, Embark Studios released the Arc Raiders 2.0 update on Thursday, adding a new emissive toggle that lets players turn off backpack lights during stealth runs. The patch also includes a suite of quality‑of‑life tweaks such as improved grappling hook mechanics, bug fixes for the snowy Frozen Trails map, and UI refinements that streamline inventory management. Players can now avoid accidental detection in the cold, high‑altitude zones, making extraction runs smoother and more tactical. The update signals Embark’s commitment to balancing gameplay with player convenience, a move that mirrors recent shifts in other extraction shooters.
