If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent countless hours scavenging through the ruins of Speranza in ARC Raiders, dodging mechanical monstrosities while hunting for precious loot. But what if I told you that your dedication to Embark Studios’ extraction shooter could score you some serious style points in their other hit game, The Finals? That’s right – the Voltage Marauder Set is waiting for you, and it’s completely free.
This isn’t just another promotional skin that’ll disappear after a week. We’re talking about a full legendary outfit that permanently marks you as part of the ARC Raiders community. As someone who’s been playing shooters since the days of Quake and Unreal Tournament, I can tell you that free cosmetics of this quality are practically unheard of in today’s gaming landscape.
Before we dive into the crossover details, let me give you some context if you’re new to the scene. The Finals is Embark Studios’ fast-paced, arena-based shooter that took the gaming world by storm. Unlike traditional FPS games, The Finals lets you destroy virtually everything in your path – walls, floors, entire buildings – creating chaotic, dynamic firefights where no two matches feel the same.
What makes The Finals special is its blend of tactical gameplay and environmental destruction. You’re not just shooting at enemies; you’re reshaping the battlefield itself. The game features three contestant classes (Light, Medium, and Heavy), each with unique abilities and playstyles that complement different team strategies.
As someone who bounces between multiple shooters, I’ve seen my fair share of crossovers – most of them feeling forced or overly commercial. But this ARC Raiders x The Finals collaboration hits different. It feels authentic because both games come from the same studio, sharing a universe and design philosophy.
The Voltage Marauder Set isn’t just a reskin; it’s a statement piece that carries the gritty, survivalist aesthetic of ARC Raiders into The Finals’ high-octane arenas. When I first equipped it, other players immediately started asking where I got it. That’s the kind of community-building moment that makes gaming special.
This is the non-negotiable part of the equation. You need to own ARC Raiders on your platform of choice – whether that’s PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X/S. Here’s the kicker: you don’t need to have completed the campaign or reached any specific level. Simply owning the game and having played it at least once is enough.
From my experience testing this across multiple accounts, even a single play session counts. The system checks for ownership, not progression, which makes this one of the most player-friendly crossover rewards I’ve ever encountered.
Since The Finals is free-to-play, there’s no financial barrier here. Just download it on your preferred platform and launch the game. Make sure you’re connected to the internet – the game needs to verify your account status with Embark’s servers.
When you first log in, keep an eye out for a notification popup. If everything is linked correctly, you should see a message confirming that the “Voltage Marauder Legendary Set has been added to your account.” Many players, including myself, unlock this outfit by accident when simply trying out The Finals for the first time.
This is where most people run into trouble, and I learned this the hard way myself. Both ARC Raiders and The Finals use Embark’s unified account system, but if you used different email addresses for each game, the system treats you as two separate players.
Here’s how to fix it:
After making this change, fully close and relaunch The Finals. Don’t just return to the main menu – a complete restart forces another account verification check.
Even following the steps perfectly, sometimes the Voltage Marauder Set takes its sweet time appearing. Based on my troubleshooting experience, here are the most common issues and their solutions:
Account Sync Delays: Server-side syncing can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, especially during major updates when thousands of players are logging in simultaneously. Patience is key here.
Wrong Platform Account: Double-check that you’re using the same platform account for both games. If you bought ARC Raiders on Steam but downloaded The Finals from the Epic Games Store, you might need to link those accounts through your Embark profile.
Cache Issues: Sometimes, local cache files can prevent new content from appearing. Try clearing your game cache or, if you’re on PC, deleting the local files in your Documents folder (don’t worry, they’ll regenerate when you launch the game).
Once unlocked, equipping the set is straightforward:
The outfit works across all three contestant classes, so you can rock that ARC Raiders style no matter your preferred playstyle. I personally think it looks best on the Medium class – the bulkier frame really sells that battle-hardened scavenger aesthetic.
Beyond just looking cool, the Voltage Marauder Set represents something bigger in the gaming ecosystem. It’s Embark Studios’ way of rewarding players who invest in their universe across multiple titles. When someone spots you wearing this set in The Finals, they immediately know you’re part of the ARC Raiders community.
The design itself is worth mentioning. Unlike many promotional cosmetics that feel out of place, the Voltage Marauder Set fits perfectly with The Finals’ art style. The weathered armor plates, tactical harness, and subtle electrical effects all speak to ARC Raiders’ post-apocalyptic setting while still looking natural in The Finals’ arena environment.
If you’re primarily an ARC Raiders player like me, jumping into The Finals can be quite a shock. Here are some tips I wish I had when starting out:
Embrace the Chaos: The Finals is significantly faster and more chaotic than ARC Raiders. Don’t try to play it safe – the game rewards aggressive, strategic play.
Master Movement: The movement system in The Finals is more fluid and vertical. Spend time in the practice arena getting comfortable with jumping, sliding, and using ziplines.
Destruction is Your Friend: Unlike ARC Raiders where you’re often avoiding damage, in The Finals you should be causing destruction. Collapsing buildings can eliminate entire enemy teams or create new pathways.
Team Composition Matters: The three contestant classes have distinct roles. Try to balance your team with different classes for maximum effectiveness.
The Voltage Marauder Set was introduced in The Finals’ Update 9.7.0, which dropped in late January 2026. This update also included various bug fixes, performance improvements, and balance changes to the Point Break game mode.
Based on Embark Studios’ track record and the success of this crossover, I wouldn’t be surprised to see more cross-game rewards in the future. The studio seems committed to building a connected ecosystem across their titles, which is great news for players who invest in multiple games.
A: No, once unlocked, the Voltage Marauder Set is permanently yours in The Finals, regardless of your ARC Raiders activity.
A: Yes, as long as your account shows ownership or active subscription to ARC Raiders, you qualify for the crossover reward.
A: The crossover is tied to your Embark ID, not your platform. However, you need to own both games on the same platform family (PC with PC, console with console).
A: As long as your account shows ownership history, you should still qualify. The system checks your purchase/download history, not whether the game is currently installed.
A: As of now, there’s no expiration date for this crossover offer. However, I’d recommend claiming it sooner rather than later, just in case Embark changes their policy.
The Voltage Marauder Set crossover between ARC Raiders and The Finals represents everything I love about modern gaming – smart rewards for player loyalty, meaningful connections between game worlds, and high-quality free content that doesn’t feel like a cash grab.
As someone who’s spent years grinding for cosmetics in various shooters, I can honestly say this is one of the most generous and well-executed crossover promotions I’ve encountered. It takes minutes to claim, looks fantastic, and serves as a permanent badge of honor for ARC Raiders players.
If you own ARC Raiders and haven’t jumped into The Finals yet, now’s the perfect time. Not only will you get access to an awesome free outfit, but you might just discover your new favorite shooter. And if you’re already playing The Finals but haven’t tried ARC Raiders, consider this your sign to give it a shot – you might unlock some sweet rewards in future crossovers.
