How to Get the Free Sky Ice Hiker Backpack in Arc Raiders

If you’re diving into Arc Raiders and love a good freebie, here’s some great news — you can snag the Sky Ice Hiker Backpack for free, just by using your Discord account.

The game officially launched on October 30, 2025, and the community’s loving it so far. The very next day, Embark Studios dropped a fun Discord quest that lets you earn this cool backpack skin just by playing.

But don’t wait too long — this offer only lasts until November 6, 2025. Here’s how to claim it before it’s gone.

Step-by-Step: Unlocking the Sky Ice Hiker Backpack

Here’s exactly what you need to do:

1. Get your accounts linked up.
   You’ll need a Discord account (obviously) and an Embark ID. Head to the Embark Studios website, log in, and connect your Discord under the “Connected Platforms” tab.
   While you’re at it, make sure to join the official Arc Raiders Discord server.

2. Find the Quest on Discord.
   Open your Discord app, click on the little Discord icon on the left, and look for the Quests section.

3. Accept the Arc Raiders quest.
   You’ll see Arc Raiders listed there. Accept the quest — it asks you to spend 15 minutes playing on the surface (Topside) in-game.

4. Play and complete the quest.
   Fire up Arc Raiders with Discord running in the background and spend those 15 minutes exploring Topside. Once you’ve done that, head back to Discord and check the quest status.

5. Redeem your reward.
   You’ll get a code and a link to the official Arc Raiders page. Follow the link, paste your code, and boom — your Sky Ice Hiker Backpack is yours.

Quick Tips (So Nothing Breaks)

• Make sure you’re logged into both Discord and your Embark ID the entire time.
• If you don’t get your reward right away, don’t panic. A few players on social media (like X) have reported that it sometimes takes a second try. Just make sure everything’s still connected and give it another go.

Free in-game cosmetics are always a win, and the Sky Ice Hiker Backpack is a solid way to stand out while exploring Arc Raiders’ world. Just don’t miss the deadline — November 6 is coming up fast!
