ARC Raiders New Update Released on January 13 Brings Balance Changes via Version 1.000.017
- Kettle
-
- Dev note: Reduced fire rate from 600 to 450. The previous fire rate was only realistically reachable by players using macros, which creates an unfair dynamic that favours using 3rd party software
- Trigger ‘Nade
-
- Dev note: Trigger ‘Nade currently dominates PVP encounters, and players favour picking it over all our other grenades. This nerf aims to make it less usable as a “trigger-in-air” grenade, whilst keeping its usefulness as a sticky bomb. Damage falloff has been rebalanced to concentrate the damage closer to the center of the explosion, and deal less damage further away. The delay between triggering the grenade and it detonating, has been increased from 0.7s to 1.5s, giving players more time to react, and making it harder to time the detonation in air.
- Fixed a key card exploit that allowed players to keep room keys after using them.
- Lighting has been lowered in some areas on Stella Montis Night Raid making flashlights and listening more relevant.
Aside from the update, another thing to look forward to is a freebie item available today for a limited time. This is a “Thank You” gift from Embark for ARC Raiders surpassing 12 million players, which is an insane number for any game, especially for a new IP in the shooter space.
We should be getting more updates within the month, as Embark has also promised updates to anti-cheat and other exploits.
