ARC Raiders Follow-up Update 1.000.020 Resolves Headwinds Issues

Following yesterday’s release of the Headwinds content drop for ARC Raiders, Embark saw a slew of unintended issues across all platforms that needed to be addressed ASAP.

With that in mind, the dev has now rolled out ARC Raiders update 1.000.020, and this is a follow-up patch that addresses some gameplay and tech-related issues.

Sony has released the first system update for the PS5 in 2026, and this isn't your usual stability update, as this actually adds new features to the console.

Read on for the official patch notes straight from Embark.

ARC Raiders Headwinds Hotfix Released on January 28

Note that the Xbox patch has been delayed, and during this time, Xbox players will not be able to crossplay against PC and PS5 players.

• Fixed an issue that caused unintended fire rate changes to several weapons.

Dev Note: Following yesterday’s update, some weapons were affected by a bug that reduced their rate of fire. This was not an intentional change. We always aim to include all changes in our patch notes, and we appreciate you flagging this quickly.

• Fixed an issue where some cosmetics available through Raider Tokens were missing from the customization menu if they hadn’t been purchased yet.

• Fixed an issue where parts of the Ukrainian localization unintentionally appeared in the game.

Dev Note: We’re actively working on a full Ukrainian translation among other languages for ARC Raiders and will release once they are ready.

• We have heard you wondering about the loot appearing too slowly. We have rebalanced the speed at which the first item appears when looting. The looting speed before 1.13.0 was unintended. Players with the Looter’s Instincts unlocked will still see loot faster than those without.

Don’t be surprised if we see another patch drop next week to address more issues. Speaking of which, the game’s servers have been acting up since yesterday, and we’re hoping it gets resolved soon.
