Arc Raiders obtained a contemporary set of patch notes for its 1.3.0 replace this morning. The replace contains a wide range of modifications throughout the board, however maybe most vital are the modifications to a two-shot pistol that’s been inflicting havoc and devastation for anybody on the receiving finish of its twin barrels. Listed below are all of the modifications impacting in-game weapons and objects:
The Venator will get ‘re-tuned’ and explosions are much less explosive
A blue uncommon gun, the Venator is a woman’s finest buddy as a sidearm and a significantly dependable main weapon should you like maining pistols. That may change a bit because the gun was beforehand “able to outgunning full squads utilizing shut vary weapons,” in response to the patch notes.
The opposite notable change right here is that explosions have been tweaked. To be trustworthy, I kinda noticed this one coming because it’s been fairly rattling simple currently to take out the bigger Arc threats with issues that go growth. Essentially the most vital of those modifications sees the Hullcracker launcher, nice for taking down Arc, requiring extra accuracy, whereas explosions on massive enemies “deal a bit much less injury,” as Embark places it.
The price of ammo for the Hullcracker has additionally shifted, and arguably not for the higher. Whereas you would snag a pack of 10 from the in-game merchants for six,000 Cash, you’ll now get 6 launcher ammo for 4,500.
As one remark thread on Reddit discusses, this may need the run-on impact of seeing fewer individuals speeding the Arc Queen as they’ll be rather less geared up, and with weaponry that requires some extra cautious aiming.
Embark takes goal at bugs and wall-glitching, however some points stay
Arc Raiders’ efficiency is usually dependable, however of us discovered some unlucky bugs that affected bullet collision, in addition to exploits that enable gamers to glitch into rooms which are in any other case locked.
The replace brings enhancements to these bullet points on the map Blue Gate. It’s a pleasant begin, however I do know I’ve seen related points elsewhere, too. The patch notes element “railing props [that] mistakenly blocked bullets” however say that “photographs now move by as anticipated.” Throughout the opposite maps, another participant collision points had been touched up.
Gamers have additionally been exploiting some wall-glitching, permitting them to enter locked rooms with out keys or to cover in unreachable ambush spots. Dam Battlegrounds has had an exploit that allowed entry to the Management Tower fastened, whereas a particular wall in Spaceport that gamers had been glitching into to leap unsuspecting gamers will not enable for this.
Nonetheless, I’ve seen all kinds of locked doorways bypassed by of us, not simply those addressed by this patch. Hopefully there’ll be much less of this.
However maybe essentially the most irritating motion situation happens when attempting to entry an escape hatch whereas in a downed-but-not-out standing. Usually, till you’re absolutely knocked out, you possibly can crawl your technique to an escape as the sport permits you to activate the elevator or escape hatch terminals when you’re down. However as documented properly on this video on Reddit, most hatches appear to sit down atop a slope that may’t be climbed whereas crawling.
It’s onerous to inform if that is intentional or an oversight. However it’s clearly been a irritating expertise for individuals who’ve tried to make a daring last-minute escape through a hatch, solely to search out out they will’t crawl over a hump.
Excellent news (possibly) for duck followers
Lastly, replace 1.3.0 will fill your Raider’s room with extra rubber geese, letting them spill over the ground if in case you have sufficient in your stash.
It’s cute! However should you ask me, these geese aren’t worthwhile sufficient to extract with and are in any other case too pointless for me to have them taking over room in my stash. So worry not, any rubber geese I come throughout are intentionally left behind on the battlefield. You’re welcome.
