Arc Raiders players report huge UFOs soaring across the sky

The Shrouded Sky update has arrived in Arc Raiders. Embark added a hurricane map condition, two new Arc enemies and a number of balancing changes—and some players are spotting a UFO in the shrouded skies: a broad aircraft with a W-shaped silhouette that emits a pair of blue energy streams toward the ground and leaves a loud, trailing wail.

Reddit user Bewarden posted a brief clip that prompted the question, "What in tarnation is that?" Some suggested the lights were two Arcs flying together, but a closer look shows one very large craft. "This sh*t is massive," observed Dry_Breadfruit1743, and its altitude suggests a size between a Queen and a Bastion, only with wings.

Other sightings are scarce; so far only one other report has surfaced. It could be one of the "new Arc threats" promised in the Arc Raiders 2026 roadmap, and might represent an early tease of future content—recalling instances in other multiplayer shooters when players discovered unexpected enemies early.
