Comet Igniter is a new late-game resource in Arc Raiders. The only way to obtain it is by tracking down the new Comet ARC and ensuring that you destroy it before it suicides on you.
In this article, we will explain what Comet Igniter actually is and how to obtain them in Arc Raiders.
What is Comet Igniter?
Comet Igniter is an arc-tech resource used in the Weather Monitoring System project and other Shrouded Sky contracts, so you will encounter this roadblock if you are pursuing new upgrades. It drops from the Comet ARC, a rolling explosive bot introduced in the Shrouded Sky update that plays like a more aggressive, kamikaze version of Pops or Surveyors.
Where to find Comet Igniter in Arc Raiders
Comets appear on every map and in every weather type, but open areas are your best chance. The current farm of choice in the community is Dam Battlegrounds, with multiple players reporting consecutive Comet spawns on the dam and adjacent open areas, as well as frequent Comet drops in Buried City (the plaza north of Plaza Rosa) and Blue Gate, which regularly receive Comet drops from orbit. Visually, you’re looking for a metal ball with one “headlight” and a glowing stripe above it, and arc trails in the sky as they fall.
If you allow the Comet to fully charge and detonate naturally, it will often only drop a basic scrap ring and no Igniter. Rather, destroy it before it reaches detonation levels, as players have consistently reported higher Igniter drop rates when the Comet dies to damage rather than its own detonation. Heavy hitters such as Ferro, Anvil, or Hullcracker, along with seeker grenades, make short work of this fight if you focus fire as soon as it aggroes.
Comets are loud. Use their distinctive whine and massive explosion sound to detect battles happening close by and third-party slower troops. Always store the Igniter in your safe slot (“butt pocket”) and retrieve it right away, as losing it resets progress on missions requiring rare resources such as Fine Wristwatches and Firefly Burners.
The highly anticipated Arc Raiders Shrouded Sky update is finally here, marking yet another major patch for the extraction shooter less than a month after the Headwinds update.
The Shrouded Sky Arc Raiders update is a big one, and there’s plenty to unpack in this February 2026 patch, including tons of new content, cosmetics, and other rewards.
One of the biggest highlights of the Shrouded Sky update is the new Raider Deck that it has introduced to the game. Similar to the previous Raider Decks, the “Surgeon Deck” is also completely free to obtain, but you’ll have to grind through all the rewards by playing the game.

📡 Attention, Raiders! The Shrouded Sky Update is live! ⛈️ Violent hurricanes are sweeping topside, forcing new strategies for low-visibility combat. Scouts have spotted two new ARC types in the Rust Belt; we advise caution while the storm runs its course, but those who know how… pic.twitter.com/saFDY8Vxfd
The highly anticipated ARC Raiders Shrouded Sky update is finally here, bringing a massive overhaul to the gameplay, mechanics, environment, and weapons. One can argue that this marks the biggest update for the game since its release, and it massively rebalances a plethora of facets of the game.
It goes without saying that the new map, namely Hurricane, has been the centre of attention after the update, as it brings dynamic weather effects into the game, adding strategic depth in the process. The weather particles, including strong winds and flying debris, can degrade shields and offset throwables, while dust can impair vision. All of this adds more uncertainty and unpredictability to the game, making it all the more challenging yet exciting.
New ARC Enemies & Seasonal Projects
The update introduces new types of ARC enemies to make the top-side missions more challenging. The two new ARC enemy types will require even more adaptive strategy and teamwork to overcome and might be more difficult than what we have come to experience with the existing ones. A free Raider Deck, Surgeon, has also been added, giving players access to new rewards and progression pathways.
Quality of Life
The update addresses minor wrinkles outside combat by adding personalisation features like facial hair customisation. Anti-cheat enhancement is another aspect that is highly requested by players with every update, and is also a part of this patch. With several map fixes and animation updates, the game is now more stable than its previous builds.
Now that you have the gist of it, find the full patch notes below:

Anti-Cheat
When we shared our last update about tackling unfair play, we didn’t fully convey the complexity and scale of what goes into cheat detection. Our defenses operate on multiple levels: some checks are simple and definitive, while others are behavioral and data-driven and evolve over time. We also leverage broad gameplay telemetry and machine learning techniques to spot patterns that aren’t obvious at first glance. These methods take longer to develop, must adapt as game systems change, and don’t always offer instant certainty the way blunt software detections can.
We’ve recently taken action against different exploits, and we are further tightening our rules and stepping up enforcement. Serious infractions now carry stricter consequences. Strong detections will receive permanent bans right off the bat, while others will receive a temporary suspension and a single chance to correct the behavior. Recent updates to Family Sharing have strengthened our ability to curb misconduct and streamlined the removal of bad actors from the game. We are preparing to launch a systematic manual review of ban appeals. The game is young, and the volume of telemetry is enormous, but this process ensures every case is handled with care as we continue to learn quickly and invest heavily in the precision of our enforcement tools.
Valve’s latest Counter-Strike 2 update is now live and it focuses on performance enhancements, bug fixes, and a notable modification of the ever-popular map Overpass, all focused towards improving the stability and player experience. The February 24, 2026, patch is a testament to Valve’s continued efforts to improve the player experience of CS2, as many have often accused them of overlooking the readily apparent issues with the game.
If you are an Intel CPU user running the game on Windows 10, then it is quite possible that CS2 was riddled with performance issues that were holding the game back from performing on existing hardware.
Following this update, these issues should be a thing of the past as Intel CPU users on Windows can now enjoy a higher FPS with a more stable performance of the game, which radically improves the experience. Competitive players who were struggling with performance issues can now experience more stable gameplay without having to upgrade.
Along with all that, developers have thrown in minor quality-of-life fixes for players, including a fix for the “Delete Item” option in inventory not working and rendering issues with Iron Sight Weapons on AMD GPUs.
Overpass gets a minor rework where the balloons on Party prevent clear vision through them for players. This update addresses that as well, making the A mid fights more interesting than before.
Patch Notes
[ MISC ]
Mitigated a performance issue that primarily affected Windows 10 users with recent Intel CPUs.
Fixed a case where the Delete Item inventory option wasn’t working.
Fixed a case of visual corruption using iron sights on AMD GPUs.
Expanding list of console variables addons are allowed to change.
[ MAPS ]
Overpass
Fixed the Party balloons.
While all this may not seem much, the performance fix update will help a big part of the player base who are on older software. This reinforces the belief that Valve takes most player issues into account when considering improvements for the game, which in the end makes Counter-Strike 2 a more enjoyable game for both competitive and casual players alike.
Only three weeks remain before Valorant welcomes in a new Agent to its ever-expanding roster, and the excitement within the game’s community is at an all-time high.
While details about the Valorant Agent 30 still remain tightly under wraps, a number of teasers have surfaced on the internet over the past few weeks to give us a decent idea about what the new character will bring to the table.
Eager to know more about the next Valorant Agent? We’ve got you covered.
Riot Games Teases Valorant Agent 30
Previously, we’ve seen Riot Games teasing the addition of Agent 30 to Valorant on a number of different occasions. From cryptic in-game Player Cards to a brief appearance in an official cinematic, the breadcrumbs have been put out there for fans to piece together.
The in-game Player Card has been named “Amplify,” which strongly hints towards the new Agent having some sort of sound-based abilities.
That theory gains further traction with a recent teaser shared across Riot Games’ social media handles, which shows Killjoy and Clove stepping into what appears to be a club with loud music and pulsating lights while trying to hunt down the upcoming Agent.
Valorant Agent 30 Role
While Riot Games has yet to officially confirm Agent 30’s role in Valorant, all signs point toward him being a Controller.
The reasoning behind this is the fact that the last four agent releases have included two Sentinels, a Duelist, and an Initiator. This makes Agent 30 a likely candidate to restore balance to the roster’s role rotation.
Valorant Agent 30 Nationality
The latest teaser for Valorant Agent 30 flashes the following coordinates: 45°48′N, 15°57′. These co-ordinates, when placed in a real map, point towards Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.
Consequently, Agent 30 is likely to hail from Croatia, potentially becoming the first character in the game’s roster to represent the country.
Valorant Agent 30 Release Date
Valorant Agent 30 will hit the live servers alongside the game’s Season 2026 Act 2 update.
The Valorant Season 2026 Act 2 update will launch around March 17, 2026, following the conclusion of Valorant Masters Santiago.

The BGIS 2026 Group Draw will take place on February 25 and it is going to be a very important day for all teams and fans. For the first time in the history of the BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA Series 2026, both the Quarterfinals and Semifinals group draws will happen on the same day.
This decision adds more excitement before the next big stage of the tournament. Teams will finally know their opponents and their possible path to the Grand Finals. With the Quarterfinals starting from February 26, the pressure is already high.
BGIS 2026 Quarterfinals Set to Begin on February 26
The BGIS 2026 Quarterfinals will be played from February 26 to March 1. A total of 64 teams have confirmed their spots at this stage. These include 56 teams from Round 4 and the top 8 teams from The Grind Group A.

BGIS 2026 Semi Finals Group Draw to Follow a New Ranking Based System
The Semifinals group draw will be different from previous editions. This time, the groups will be decided based on the rankings of teams from the Quarterfinals and Wildcard stage.
This ranking based system has never been used before in BGIS. Earlier, teams were placed in groups through regular draws. But now, performance will directly affect group placement.
This means teams will not just aim to qualify but will also try to finish as high as possible in the standings. A better rank could help them get a more balanced group in the Semifinals.
This change adds more value to every single match played in the Quarterfinals and Wildcard.
BGIS 2026 Semifinals Format Explained
The BGIS Semi Finals will take place from March 12 to March 15, 2026. A total of 24 teams will compete at this stage. Sixteen teams will come from the Quarterfinals and eight teams will qualify through the Wildcard.
The 24 teams will be divided into three groups of eight teams each. The Semifinals will follow a double round robin format. Each team will play 16 matches in total.
After all matches are completed, the top 8 teams will qualify for the Grand Finals. The remaining 16 teams will move to the Survival Stage.
