If you own ARC Raiders and haven't touched The Finals yet, you've got a narrow window left to grab something for free. Embark Studios is wrapping up its cross-game skin promotion on July 9, and once that date passes, the exclusive Voltage Marauder bundle is gone.
What the Voltage Marauder bundle actually is
The Voltage Marauder is a cosmetic bundle tied to a cross-promotion between ARC Raiders and The Finals, both developed by Embark Studios. The studio built its reputation on the premium extraction shooter first, but The Finals, a free-to-play arena shooter built around fully destructible environments, came out before it and has quietly maintained a dedicated player base ever since.
The bundle itself is exclusive to this promotion. There's no indication it will return through the in-game store or any future event, which makes the July 9 cutoff a hard deadline rather than a soft one.
How the cross-promotion works
The requirement is straightforward. You need to own ARC Raiders and link the same Embark ID across both games. Once the accounts are connected, you play at least one match in The Finals' Arena mode, and the Voltage Marauder bundle gets credited to your account.
The timing matters here. The Finals is currently in its tenth season, which is also ending around the same period. So the promotion and the season are closing out together, making this week the last realistic window to complete the steps.
Why The Finals deserves more attention than it gets
Here's the thing: The Finals is genuinely one of the most mechanically interesting shooters available right now, and it doesn't get nearly the coverage its design warrants. The full environmental destruction isn't just a visual gimmick. Floors collapse, walls get blown out, and entire buildings can be leveled mid-match. Skilled players treat the arena itself as a weapon, not just a backdrop.
If you're jumping in purely for the skin, you'll probably end up playing more than one match. That's not an accident.
Getting the most out of your time in both games
For players who are new to ARC Raiders or coming back after a break, the Voltage Marauder bundle is a solid cosmetic to have before diving deeper into the game's extraction loop. If you want to hit the ground running, the ARC Raiders best loadouts guide covers proven builds for every playstyle, from budget starter kits to endgame setups.
The deadline is July 9, which leaves just a few days from today. Link your Embark ID, queue into The Finals Arena, and the bundle is yours.
