Embark Studios is making it a pattern to give out freebies and rewards when releasing new Arc Raiders updates or to celebrate major milestones. The tradition was started at the game’s launch, continued during the Cold Snap update, and players can now get rewards to celebrate the Shrouded Sky update. Claiming the freebies is straightforward, but there is a set number that both Twitch and Discord have. The only important element is time, as if players wait too long, they will miss out on the cosmetics.

What are the February 2026 Arc Raiders Twitch freebies?
Embark Studios has made a total of three freebies available for players in February 2026. All three can be earned from Twitch or Discord by players linking their respective accounts to their Embark IDs. This isn’t complicated, and once done, players can get on with obtaining the freebies. Players just need to ensure they have already purchased Arc Raiders or buy the game from LootBar.
Arc Raiders February 2026 Twitch freebies
Players can unlock a Royal Steed backpack charm and a Record Player backpack charm by linking their Twitch account to their Embark ID and then watching a set duration of Arc Raiders streams on the streaming platform. Players must watch Twitch streamers with the “DropsEnabled” tag, or their progress won’t be counted towards unlocking the rewards.
The Royal Steed backpack charm requires that players consume one hour of Arc Raiders streams to unlock the item. The Record Player backpack charm, on the other hand, requires a two-hour consumption of Arc Raiders streams on Twitch. This makes the Record Player a rarer cosmetic item, and earning it will give players a greater sense of accomplishment.
Arc Raiders' Twitch viewership has dropped significantly since the game’s launch, and these freebies may be the developers' attempt at increasing their numbers. These metrics are an important element in highlighting a game’s popularity, and developers are always trying to trend.
Arc Raiders February 2026 Discord freebies
There is only one Discord freebie available in the February 2026 Arc Raiders drop, which is the Toy Robot backpack charm. While this is less than the Twitch rewards, this item is easier to unlock. All players have to do to earn the Toy Robot backpack charm is link their Discord account to their Embark ID. There is no need to complete quests or put in any more effort to claim the freebie.
This is a significant difference from past seasons, when players were required to link their accounts and then play a quest while keeping Discord open. The free reward for just linking the Discord account is to celebrate the Arc Raiders server reaching one million members. This makes things easier, even for new players, to obtain a cosmetic item.
How long will the February 2026 Arc Raiders drops last?
Arc Raiders Twitch drops are available until March 24, and players need to start watching streams if they want to unlock the rewards. If this is the first time a player is linking their accounts, then the process will get easier for future drops, as there will be one less step to follow.
Discord Arc Raider drops will cease on March 4, which makes obtaining this reward all the more important. Some players may want to put off the Discord freebie, as it doesn’t require anything other than linking accounts. Delaying unlocking the reward can potentially lead to missing out on it.
How to link Twitch and Discord accounts to Embark ID
Linking Twitch and Discord accounts to Embark IDs is simple, and players can follow these steps to complete the process easily.
Go to https://id.embark.games
Log in with your Arc Raiders account
Click connect platforms
Click Twitch or Discord
Enter the required login details
This process needs to be completed just once, and players can continue receiving Arc Raiders freebies when they are released in the future. It’s more effective if players link both accounts, rather than starting to increase their Twitch watch times. This way, the main step that requires more effort will be finished. Then it's only a matter of consistently watching Arc Raiders streams to unlock Twitch drops.
Conclusion
Embark Studios has consistently been releasing new updates for Arc Raiders that bring bug fixes and free cosmetics. The new updates are welcome as they spice things up and also offer freebies. These new and free cosmetics are unique, and obtaining them simply requires linking Twitch and Discord accounts. The process isn’t difficult, but the rewards need to be unlocked quickly, as they are limited-duration. Getting these cosmetics is likely a one-time opportunity, as it's unclear whether they’ll be added to Arc Raiders again. If you want to get these rewards but don’t have the game, you can buy an ARC Raiders Steam key!
