From Wasp Hunter Leaks to the 1.20.0 Nerfs: The Latest ARC Raiders News You Can't Miss

Arc Raiders has been reset with the latest patch update, 1.20.0. This update includes a significant nerf to Il Toro, as well as several fixes and changes related to power clips.

This guide will provide a detailed explanation of these changes and some fresh news.

New Skins in the Store

The new store reset is complete, adding a new Rawde Outfit and two new hairstyles. Let's talk about Rawde Outfit first. This outfit looks a bit strange and is difficult to evaluate, but it has three different colors for players to choose from, allowing for customization.

Players can also make some modifications to this outfit, including the helmet, mask, straps, and vest. The mask is detachable. You can choose different combinations according to your preferences and experiment with different styles. You can get it for 1100 ARC Raiders Coins.

In addition, let's look at the two new hairstyles. One is a gradient fringe, which, as the name suggests, features fringe with a gradient effect. This one is pretty straightforward; it's very simple, with only a few standard color options. This hairstyle only costs 400 coins, a surprisingly affordable price.

Then there's a low bun, which comes in multiple color options. This hairstyle also costs 400 game coins. It's much cheaper than the previous hairstyle, so interested players can grab it from the store.

 New bundle showcased

Besides what we see in the game, a Wasp Hunter set will be released later, which looks quite unbelievable but very cool. This will be downloadable content. Currently, we have seen no information about the price; let's wait and see.

Patch notes

Next, let's look at the latest update for ARC Raiders. They not only added these cool items to the store but also fixed a large patch.

Many players previously requested balance adjustments to Il Toro, and in this update, ARC Raiders has improved its DPS and ranged attack effectiveness, especially when combined with chokehold abilities. However, both the rate of fire and reload time have been reduced, forcing players to make better use of positioning, cover, and timing to defeat opponents.

So, let's take a look at the specific changes.

After Il Toro changes, Pellet Damage decreased from 7.5 to 7, Base Fire-Rate decreased from 43 to 38, Base Dispersion increased from 4.5 to 6, Total Reload Time increased from 4.3 to 5.7, Looping Reload Entry increased by 0.2 seconds, Looping Reload Time also increased by 0.2 seconds, and damage falloff increased by 10%.

In short, all these values ​​mean a wider bullet spread and a longer reload time, which is not good news for Il Toro.

ARC Raiders also fixed an issue where players could be pushed through walls and get stuck in Dam Controlled Access Zone, and fixed a collision detection issue under the elevators and pipes on the east side of Spaceport.

They also reduced the price of Energy Clip from 1000 to 200. This inadvertently turned Energy Clip into a very profitable flying machine. The price reduction was so drastic that it truly surprised us; it was insane.

That's the content of this patch update. In terms of actual changes, this update isn't very significant. We should receive another patch update next week, and hopefully, there will be bigger changes later.

Leaked ARC for a future update

Now let's talk about leaked information. Recently, many of you have probably seen a lot of news about upcoming updates. These messages hint at the upcoming arrival of two new chapters: Hammer and Roller bot. However, the veracity of this information is still unknown and needs to be confirmed. We won't discuss these details further here.

Players ban issue

A post on Reddit went viral, receiving 20,000 upvotes, about a user who was permanently banned. It went viral because the ban was highly suspicious.

This user posted in January that he was banned for a month. He detailed that despite the ban, he did not use any cheats, hacks, or exploits. He had played countless multiplayer and single-player games before and had never been banned.

This player is a quadriplegic patient. It means he had to use a sip and puff mouth controller, controlling his game character through breathing and lip movements. This action may have led to a permanent ban. Many players couldn't understand this and demanded a response from Embark Studios, at least some compensation.

New Weekly Trails

This week's Trails are now live, and I'm sure everyone has seen them. I have to say, this week's Trails are incredibly boring. It's basically just standing here getting shocked by lightning a few times. When I saw the leaked information about Electromagnetic Storm before, I thought it was a joke, but now it's actually live. I suggest chatting with friends while completing Trails. Be prepared, this will definitely be the most boring Trails you've ever completed.

That concludes this article, bringing you the latest gaming news. We hope it has been helpful.
