Attention all ARC Raiders! We've got some exciting news and a few important updates to share with you. The game-changing Patch Notes 1.18.0 are here, and they're packed with surprises!
First things first, let's talk about those sneaky exploits. We've identified and fixed a clever trick that allowed players to stash weapons in their safe pockets without the Safekeeper Augment. And that's not all - we've also addressed an issue that let players put the Snaphook into a safe pocket while in use. Consider these loopholes closed!
But here's where it gets controversial... We've made some adjustments to the drop rates of rare blueprints and high-tier materials in First Wave Caches on the Hurricane map condition. The drop rate for blueprints has been slightly lowered, while the drop rate for those coveted high-tier materials has been increased. The reasoning behind this change is to strike a better balance. Players have been exceptionally skilled at locating and looting these caches, so we wanted to ensure a fair playing field. Now, you might encounter fewer blueprints overall, but the materials you do find will be of higher quality. Caches will still be a rewarding source of blueprints, just not to the extent where you can consistently walk away with a handful in every session.
And this is the part most people miss... We've added a very hot fix for the Dam Controlled Access Zone. This should smooth out any performance issues and ensure a seamless experience for all. Additionally, we've addressed a rare but frustrating bug where players would experience crashes when navigating to the Player Proximity menu. Rest assured, we're committed to providing a stable and enjoyable gaming environment.
Furthermore, we've fixed an issue that prevented players from completing the final stage of the quest "Worth Your Salt" if someone else had already done it in the same raid. No more feeling left out or missing out on those sweet rewards!
Lastly, we've identified and resolved a rare performance drop issue caused by certain ARC. Your gaming experience should now be smoother than ever.
So, what do you think, Raiders? Are these changes a step in the right direction? We'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions in the comments below. Feel free to share your experiences and discuss the impact these updates have on your gameplay. Your feedback is invaluable to us and helps shape the future of ARC Raiders! See you topside, and happy raiding!
