Arc Raiders players are finally revolting over expensive skin prices, 'How are you gonna just shrug at $25 skin bundles in a $40 game?'

It seems like the penny has finally dropped for some Arc Raiders players, as a new store update has come out, fueling the fire of discontent over cosmetic prices and the quality of the skins on offer.

From the get-go, Arc Raiders has had expensive skins, with some going as high as $24/£20 and the average sitting around $20/£15. Now, this may not seem like a lot compared to games like Valorant, League of Legends, or even Overwatch 2, but Arc Raiders isn't a free-to-play game, so these charges are on top of the $40/£30 game price.

It's an issue many players aren't willing to sweep under the rug: "Bro, how are you gonna just shrug at $25 skin bundles in a $40 game? That's unacceptable." While another player points out, "Those skin prices are kinda...brutal. And to add to that, we still have gameplay affecting items in the battlepass, in a $40 game."

The discontent with how Embark is pricing their cosmetics has clearly been spreading for some time now, with the latest store update sparking an even angrier reaction from fans.
