💡 Arc Raiders now has an option to turn off your backpack light.
💡 This "Emissive" guarantor is in the cosmetics menu of every backpack.
Arc Raiders has made a lot of new additions and optimizations with the Frozen Trail 2.0 update, but one of the big, long-requested changes is the ability to turn off the lights on your packs.
Enter "Customization" at the bottom left of the screen.
As you can see, the light disappears and reappears as you look at the backpack, although the exact location of the light varies from pack to pack. This should help you be a little smarter, though it might make your character a little harder to spot in some of the darker areas of the game.
