How to join the Server Slam

Last Updated: 2025-10-01

Good news, Raider! You don’t need to sign up for the Server Slam. Once the event goes live on October 17th, all you need to do is download ARC Raiders on your platform of choice and you’re ready to play.

Setting Up Your Embark ID

First-time Raiders: The first time you launch ARC Raiders, you’ll be guided through setting up or linking your Embark ID.

  • Already have one from The Finals or a previous ARC Raiders test? Just log in and link it.
  • If you don’t, you’ll have the option to create a new Embark ID during onboarding, or simply press confirm to have one generated automatically.

Your Embark ID will be used as your display name

Email verification:
Verifying your email is optional if you just want to jump in and play, but you’ll need to complete it to claim your exclusive Server Slam backpack reward at launch.

Returning players: Start by checking that your email is verified so you can claim your Server Slam reward. We suggest using the same Embark ID you played on before to keep all your rewards in one place.

Getting Ready Ahead of Time

Want to get a head start? You can create a new Embark ID or link to an existing one ahead of time by heading to the Embark ID page and logging in with the platform account (Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation, or Xbox) you’ll be using for the Server Slam.

  • If your platform account isn’t connected to an Embark ID: You’ll be prompted to create a new one or link to an existing account.

  • If you skipped email confirmation in-game: Logging in here will prompt you to confirm your email if you haven’t already.

  • If you’re unsure whether your email is confirmed: Go to your profile on the Embark ID page. A green checkmark next to your email means your account is verified.

Take a few minutes to set this up now and you’ll be ready to head topside when the Server Slam begins on October 17.
