Arc Raiders 2.0 is here, and you can finally turn those lights on your backpack off

In a recent update to the popular extraction shooter Arc Raiders, players can now turn off the lights on their backpacks. This small but significant addition comes alongside a host of other changes and improvements, including the ability to toggle emissive lighting on and off, new grappling hook mechanics, and a more detailed map when players are downed.

The update, known as "Frozen Trails," also brings snowy mountains and grappling hook functionality to the game, along with numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements. Recent data shows that the game's average player count has increased significantly, likely due to a recent free weekend promotion. As a result, it may be an excellent time to dive back into Arc Raiders and try out some of the game's new features.

For those interested in learning how to excel at arc raiding, there are guides available to help players make the most of the game's new capabilities.
