ARC Raiders is making waves across PC and consoles since its arrival. Following a successful launch, expect Embark Studios to release patches and content-themed updates regularly and quickly. Here we’ll collect every ARC Raiders update, patch notes and dates included.
Complete patch notes and changelogs will be listed on this page with their respective release dates as they arrive, and of course, expect full rundowns of every new piece of content coming to the extraction shooter as Embark Studios shapes its seemingly bright future and makes big plans after the positive critical and player reception.
ARC Raiders Latest Patch Notes - Patch 1.21.0
March 24’s quick Patch 1.21.0 added a new raider tool and backpack set while fixing three new pressing issues. It’s a needed pass ahead of next week’s Flashpoint content update. Find the full patch notes below:
- New Raider Tool.
- New Backpack set.
- Fixed a crash that would sometimes occur with DirectX 11.
- Fixed an issue where players could get stuck inside the Harvester and between destroyed ARC parts.
- Fixed an exploit that allowed players to walk through walls while picking up a Fuel Cell or Field Crate.
The team is hard at work getting the Flashpoint update ready for next week, and we’re excited for you to dive into the new content.
We’ve also seen some questions about the size of our weekly patches, so to clarify: these updates are focused on smaller quality-of-life improvements and store rotations. Our larger, more content-heavy updates are currently planned for the end of each month.
