Patch Notes 1.18.0 | ARC Raiders
March 3, 2026
Raiders, prepare for an exciting update!
A new patch is available, so restart your client to access the latest features and improvements.
Bug Fixes and Improvements:
- We've patched an exploit that allowed players to bypass the Safekeeper Augment and store weapons in safe pockets.
- The Snaphook can no longer be placed in a safe pocket while in use, ensuring fair gameplay.
- We've made a subtle adjustment to blueprint drop rates. While rare blueprints are slightly less common, high-tier materials in First Wave Caches on the Hurricane map have been increased. This balance aims to provide better rewards without making blueprint acquisition too predictable.
- A hot fix has been applied to the Dam Controlled Access Zone, addressing any potential issues.
- Performance drops caused by ARC have been resolved, ensuring a smoother gaming experience.
- The quest 'Worth Your Salt' can now be completed without interference from previous raiders, allowing for a more seamless gameplay experience.
- A rare crash issue when accessing the Player Proximity menu has been fixed, ensuring a stable and enjoyable gaming session.
Developer's Insight:
The team made these adjustments to maintain a balanced and engaging gameplay loop. By increasing high-tier material drops, the team aims to reward players for their efforts in exploring and looting caches, while still keeping blueprint acquisition challenging but achievable.
Stay tuned for more updates and keep an eye out for future patches!
Happy raiding,
