Best augments in ARC Raiders (February 2026)

The month of February 2026 has been a big one for ARC Raiders players as far as augments are concerned.

The last week of January gave us the Headwinds update, and with it arrived two new Epic-tier augments. If you weren’t happy with the options that were already there, the Safekeeper and Revival augments offer you more choices.

However, it costs resources to build these augments, and not all of them are meta. This guide will help you figure out the three best augments and an honorable mention.

Three best augments in ARC Raiders (February 2026)

Every augment in ARC raiders have their own set of pros and cons. Uncommon and Rare loadouts have fewer benefits, but they are less resource-intensive. That said, here are my top three suggestions in the current meta.

Looting Mk. 3 (Survivor)

The Survivor is still the best augment in my books, and for good reason. It comes with an 80 kg carry weight limit and three safe pockets. Unlike the Safekeeper, you can’t store weapons in the safe pockets. However, it’s the best augment in the grand scheme of things. The three safe pockets are perfect if you’re going on a Queen/Matriarch run. I play in friendly servers, so I rarely lose guns to another raider. Having the extra inventory slots, safe pockets, and weight capacity lets you bring more loot back from a raid.

Looting Mk. 3 (Safekeeper)

You, unlike me, might not be playing in PvE-focused friendly servers. If you’re playing in a PvP server, you’re always running the risk of losing your weapons to another player. Losing those Epic and Legendary-rarity weapons after getting killed can feel incredibly unfair (especially if they’re fully modded).

The Safekeeper, compared to the Survivor, has fewer slots and just one safe pocket. However, you can store any item, including those fully-built weapons, in the safe pocket. Of course, you’ll have to be quick to move the weapon to the safe pocket while trying to dodge the incoming attacks.

Tactical Mk. 3 (Revival)

The Revival is a pretty fun augment to run on your raids. The bag has 16 slots and two safe pockets, along with five quick-use slots. The augment restores one health every five seconds. Taking damage pauses this effect for 30 seconds, but the healing over time is essential if you’re playing on a PvP-focused server.

The Revival blueprint also comes with an integrated defib that can be used once every 240 seconds. If you’re playing in a party, having an extra defib every four minutes saves a lot of medical resources and frees extra quick-use slots.

Honorable Mention – Looting Mk. 2

The Looting Mk. 2 is one of the best augments to run in any raid if you don’t want to risk an epic augment. It has a 60 kg weight carry capacity, 22 slots, and two safe pockets. There are three extra slots for trinkets you can find in the raid.

Unlike the names mentioned above, you can craft it on Gear Bench level two, and also buy it from Lance. While the likes of Revival and Safekeeper are better, Looting Mk. 2 is my most used augment, and for very good reasons.

The upcoming title Mewgenics is going to launch soon on PC, and this guide will help you keep track of the launch.

Made by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, Mewgenics is an interesting take on the turn-based and roguelite genres. Instead of heroes and fantastic beasts, you’ll be building up a cat army. If you don’t want to waste a moment, this guide’s countdown will help you with that.

Mewgenics release countdown

Mewgenics will go live on PC on Tuesday, Feb. 10. The release date was announced previously by the developers, and the following countdown will expire once the launch goes live.

What to expect from Mewgenics

Mewgenics will be your dream video game if you ever plan to raise a cat army. You’ll have to assemble a team of cats in Boon County. These aren’t ordinary cats, as they have their mutant powers and class-specific collars. Your task is to lead this team in turn-based adventures where they will face strong enemies.

You can choose to combine 1000+ unique abilities, 900+ items, and environmental interactions. No two rounds will be the same, and you’ll have to be on the top of your wits to guide your cat buddies. An important aspect is breeding your cats to create the ultimate mutant that can sweep every enemy they face.

If you’re interested in playing the game, you can wishlist Mewgenics on Steam to stay on top of the launch.
