To know what got changed today, read on.
ARC Raiders Update on January 20 Brings Version 1.2.0/1.000.018
Heer’s what got fixed per Embark:
The store rotation is going live now and with it a few fixes:
- Fixed an item duplication exploit.
- Fixed an ammo duplication exploit.
- Fixed some cases where players were able to damage others from behind geometry.
- Fixed various out of bounds map locations on Stella Montis.
If you haven’t logged in since last week, here are the ganeplay changes from last week’s patch:
- 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.
Once another patch is out, expect it here on MP1st.
In related news, the next big extraction shooter, Bungie’s Marathon, now has a release date set for March.
