How to get The Finals crossover skin in ARC Raiders

Before ARC Raiders, Embark Studios made their bones as top-level shooter devs with The Finals. Now there’s an easy-to-get crossover skin for ARC, and all it takes is a little engagement with their original title and possibly some patience to get the rewards. Here’s how it all works.

How to get The Finals skin in ARC Raiders

To get the skin from The Finals in ARC Raiders, you need to ensure your Embark account is the same between the two games, then go into The Finals and play three matches of any kind. You don’t have to win these matches, but you must complete them.

Once you’ve completed your three matches in The Finals, you can log back into ARC Raiders and retrieve your package in your mailbox, selectable at the top right corner of the lobby menu.

Note that it might take some time for the reward message to arrive. Some players don’t have to wait much time, if any, while others need one or even two hours to pass before they get the goods. I needed about an hour before I got my skins.

The reward mail you get will actually contain three cosmetics:

• A Red variant of the Ryder outfit
• The Black color for the Salvager backpack
• The Soccer Final Ticket Charm

You can equip all of these the same way you’d equip any other cosmetic via the Customization menu on your Raider screen. As with all other ARC Raiders cosmetics, the one you get from The Finals provides no stat or ability bonuses and is purely visual.

The fastest way to earn The Finals skin is to play Quick Cash. You’ll only need about 30 minutes, give or take, and then you can head over to see about your rewards. If you really enjoy The Finals, any other match type will do, so long as you know you might need to take more time to complete them.

The red Ryder skin is particularly vibrant, so while it won’t let you blend into your surroundings quite so well, it does fit with the festive winter vibe of the Cold Snap update.
