Claim the Arc Raiders anniversary gift by logging in and opening the in-game inbox; no store purchase or code is required. The gift is separate from ARC Raiders Items and any other outside purchase.
Claim the gift from your inbox
The stated path is Login > Inbox > Anniversary Gift. The supplied update details do not specify a gift expiry date, its contents, or the exact wording of the inbox entry, so check the message itself before assuming what it contains.
Log in to the account where you want to receive the gift.
Open the in-game inbox before starting a raid.
Find the anniversary gift message and use its available claim option.
Check the message and your available inventory or stash for the reward.
The update details do not describe a specific confirmation message or button change. If no gift appears, confirm that you are on the intended account and check the inbox again; the supplied information does not establish how long the gift remains available.
There is no stated requirement to complete a project, enter a code, or visit the store. Buying items elsewhere is not part of the claim process, so do not treat a purchase as proof that the gift has arrived.
Pair the claim with a useful raid
Souls Offering is a four-stage player project with rewards that include the Pilgrim backpack and an Offering Display Table. Its tasks lead players into Pendola Pass, so check the current project objectives before leaving the inbox and choose a route that also reaches the Emperor.
The project was stated to run until November 16, but the supplied details do not establish current availability. Check the project screen rather than assuming the deadline is still ahead.
Inside the Emperor, entrance containers now give lower-tier rewards, while higher-tier loot sits deeper inside. Bring healing and shield charge if you intend to push beyond the front rooms, and plan an exit before committing to the longer route.
The Frigate follows a similar pattern: areas farther inside have a higher chance of higher-tier rewards. Visual hatches and audio cues indicate puzzle progress, while location-specific pings help a squad identify a hatch or vent.
Check your stash and blueprint expectations
The Expedition Vault is being disabled, with stored items moving to the regular stash. Players who bought Vault slots receive Bronze Statuettes as compensation; check your stash after logging in and clear low-value materials if space is tight.
The Dolabra, Bobcat, Equalizer, Jupiter, Tempest, and Vulcano blueprints can drop in any major map condition. Their pool has a slightly lower drop chance to offset that wider availability, so access across more conditions does not mean a guaranteed blueprint.
Keep quest items in the stash when they are not needed. The listed issues include quests becoming blocked after certain items are sold or lost, and partial progress on To The Skies may cause a completion problem after extraction.
Open the inbox first and check the gift message before preparing your next raid. For equipment, raid loot remains an in-game option; players who choose to buy ARC Raiders Armors should treat that as a separate decision, not a step required to claim the gift.
