Arc Raiders Nerfs Most Highly effective Gun, Addresses Wall Glitches

Arc Raiders obtained a contemporary set of patch notes for its 1.3.0 replace this morning. The replace consists of quite a lot of adjustments throughout the board, however maybe most essential are the adjustments to a two-shot pistol that’s been inflicting havoc and devastation for anybody on the receiving finish of its twin barrels. Listed here are all of the adjustments impacting in-game weapons and gadgets:

The Venator will get ‘re-tuned’ and explosions are much less explosive

A blue uncommon gun, the Venator is a woman’s greatest buddy as a sidearm and a severely dependable major weapon in case you like maining pistols. That may change a bit because the gun was beforehand “capable of outgunning full squads using close range weapons,” in accordance with 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 recently to take out the bigger Arc threats with issues that go growth. Probably the most important of those adjustments sees the Hullcracker launcher, nice for taking down Arc, requiring extra accuracy, whereas explosions on massive enemies “deal a bit less damage,” as Embark places it.

The price of ammo for the Hullcracker has additionally shifted, and arguably not for the higher. Whereas you can 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 comment thread on Reddit discusses, this might need the run-on impact of seeing fewer folks 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 generally 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 comparable points elsewhere, too. The patch notes element “railing props [that] mistakenly blocked bullets” however say that “shots now pass through as expected.” 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 selected wall in Spaceport that gamers had been glitching into to leap unsuspecting gamers will not enable for this.

Nonetheless, I’ve seen all types of locked doorways bypassed by of us, not simply those addressed by this patch. Hopefully there’ll be much less of this.

However maybe probably the most irritating motion problem happens when making an attempt to entry an escape hatch whereas in a downed-but-not-out standing. Usually, till you’re absolutely knocked out, you may crawl your approach to an escape as the sport enables you to activate the elevator or escape hatch terminals whilst you’re down. However as documented nicely in this video on Reddit, most hatches appear to sit down atop a slope that may’t be climbed whereas crawling.

It’s arduous to inform if that is intentional or an oversight. Nevertheless it’s clearly been a irritating expertise for individuals who’ve tried to make a daring last-minute escape through a hatch, solely to seek out out they’ll’t crawl over a hump.

Excellent news (perhaps) for duck followers

Lastly, replace 1.3.0 will fill your Raider’s room with extra rubber geese, letting them spill over the ground when you’ve got sufficient in your stash.

It’s cute! However in case you ask me, these geese aren’t priceless 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.
