The night sky sparkles gifts falling from the sky, and the faint jingle of bells echoes across the ARK—it can only mean one thing: RaptorClaus is back! Sailing through the midnight sky in his festive sleigh, he’s dropping gifts packed with high-end loot, Mistletoe for the nice, and Coal for the naughty. Keep your eyes on the skies, Survivors—the holiday magic is about to begin!
