It is the first time developer Embark Studios has created an event that explicitly discourages player-versus-player combat by decoupling it from reward progression. Unlike previous events that balanced PvP and PvE activities, Shared Watch implements a specific rule: only ARC machine combat awards progression merits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This design choice modifies the typical extraction shooter loop. While players can still engage in PvP combat, loot fallen Raiders, and extract their gear for profit, doing so provides zero advancement toward event rewards. This creates a unique atmosphere with a reduced frequency of incentive-driven ambushes. Spontaneous alliances against the mechanical threat have become more common, as cooperation is now objectively more profitable for those seeking event rewards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event is active across all maps without opt-in or rotation schedules. Every topside visit during this period operates under these rules, allowing players to focus on ARC combat strategies with less constant fear of being backstabbed for event progress. However, remember that PvP is not disabled; it remains a viable way to acquire gear, even if it won&#8217;t move your merit bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/arc-raiders-1.webp\" alt=\"ARC Raiders Leveling Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy ARC Raiders Leveling Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Leave the grind to us!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/arc-raiders\/boost\/leveling\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Does the Shared Watch Event Start and End?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/arc-raiders-shared-watch-event-guide-2-1.webp\" alt=\"Arc Raiders Shared Watch Rewards Explained: How to Earn Rewards, Track Merits, and Defeat ARC Enemies\" class=\"wp-image-36046\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/arc-raiders-shared-watch-event-guide-2-1.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/arc-raiders-shared-watch-event-guide-2-1-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/arc-raiders-shared-watch-event-guide-2-1-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Arc Raiders Shared Watch event launched on <strong>Tuesday, February 10, 2026<\/strong>, alongside Patch 1.15.0.
