The ARC Raiders Shared Watch event is officially underway, and players have extra incentives to team up, get along, and take down some bad robots. The limited-time event is offering players the chance to earn Merits, which can be exchanged for more than 20 in-game rewards.
To earn all the rewards, players will need to start the grind right away and get through the full list by February 24.
- Shared Watch event start time: February 10, 2026
- Shared Watch event end time: February 24, 2026
how to earn merit during shared watch event
To claim the reward items, players are going to need to earn Merits during the event window. In order to do that, players simply need to gain XP by completing their recurring challenges each time they head topside.
Players can earn Merits by gaining XP from the following tasks:
- Damaging ARCs
- Destroying ARCs
- Destroying ARCs via assist
PvP is not disabled during the event, but it does grant 0 XP, so there is no incentive for players who are trying to earn Merits to attack each other. Players who find a group to squad up with can earn XP quickly by taking on larger enemies like the Queen or Matriarch.
The long list of rewards is going to require a lot of Merits if players want to claim every reward that is up for grabs.
