How to Earn and Spend Merits in Arc Raiders: Completion and Solving Tips

Select Language:

Arc Raiders is celebrating its first-ever event called Staking Our Claim. Instead of frontiers or land deeds, this event rewards players with new currency and free cosmetic items just for playing the game. The event mainly recognizes players for surviving, looting abandoned buildings, and defeating robot enemies.

Best of all, everything is completely free—there’s no premium pass or hidden costs. You’ll earn experience points (XP) and good gear along the way. If you want to stock up on stylish items for the apocalypse, here’s what you need to know.

What Is the Staking Our Claim Event?

Players are finally getting access to this limited-time celebration, which rewards gameplay activities like surviving, looting, and destroying ARCs. The event introduces a new currency, cosmetic items, and gear. It runs until December 7.

How to Earn and Spend Merits

The main currency for this event is called Merits. You get one Merit for every 100 XP you earn during gameplay. You earn XP and Merits from almost all core activities, including taking down ARCs, looting, and completing missions. The conversion from XP to Merits happens automatically, so just keep playing and earning XP—you’ll naturally accumulate Merits.

Once you have enough Merits, you can redeem them for rewards via the event’s special battle pass. Unlike traditional paid passes, all rewards are free. To claim your rewards, go to the Staking Our Claim tab located in the top-right corner of the main screen. If you have enough Merits, you can claim items on each reward page before moving on to the next. There are three pages loaded with gear, cosmetics, weapon modifications, and Raider Tokens.
