ARC Raiders Players can Now Grow Beards and Mustaches
Embark Studios’ Shrouded Sky update teaser has generated unexpected excitement within the ARC Raiders community. While the new map condition is described as “Hurricane,” a small detail seen in the trailer caught attention. It’s thought that a long-requested feature might finally be coming to the game, signaling a significant change in customization.
ARC Raiders Beard and Mustache Feature Coming Soon
The short teaser image shows a character with a noticeably beard, leading to speculation about a new cosmetic step for ARC Raiders. Until now, characters in the game have only been seen with existing hairstyles, tattoos, and facial accessories. The first appearance of a character with a full beard suggests this isn’t a coincidence.
Embark Studios hasn’t officially announced “beards are coming.” However, the fact that all the cosmetic elements used in the trailer were previously available in the game suggests this new detail could be a deliberate hint. It’s known that players have long requested beard and mustache options, and the studio seems to have addressed this feedback.
The Shrouded Sky update will be released on February 24th and will bring the “Hurricane” map condition. Environmental threats such as strong winds, flying debris, and heavy rain will alter the game’s atmosphere. It wouldn’t be surprising if this update also comes with visual customization options.
ARC Raiders, with its live service model, continues to expand its content over time. The addition of a beard feature could mark the beginning of a new era in the game’s customization. Now, the focus is on whether other options like mustaches and goatees will also be added.
