Robots in Arc Raiders were impacting performance — developers fixed bugs and reduced blueprint drop rates

Battling the ARC machines is about to become a more balanced experience.

The development team behind Arc Raiders continues to polish the title following the Shrouded Sky expansion. A fresh technical update has been deployed to iron out several lingering stability and gameplay issues.

Notable improvements include a fix for a performance bug where specific ARC units were causing significant frame rate drops during encounters.

Loot tables have also seen adjustments; while the rarity of blueprint drops has been slightly increased, players will now find high-tier crafting materials more frequently in containers when the “Hurricane” map condition is active.

In addition to these changes, Embark Studios has resolved various crashes and specific logic errors:

• Weapons can no longer be placed in the secure pocket without the “Scavenging Mk. 3 (Keeper)” augmentation equipped.
• An exploit allowing players to stash the grappling hook mid-deployment has been eliminated.
• Fixed a progression blocker in the “Worth Your Salt” quest where the final stage failed to complete if another player had already finished it during the same session.
