Embark Studios has just released Patch 1.23.0 for ARC Raiders, and it’s a relatively small update that focuses on bug fixes across numerous aspects of the game. That being said, a new cosmetic set has arrived in the store to sweeten the deal, with the Vanguard Set now available for purchase.
This update comes after the highly anticipated Flashpoint update, which added a variety of new content to the game, including a new Major Map Condition and ARC threat: the devastating Vaporizer.
ARC Raiders Updates Numerous Bugs & Close Scrutiny
Live service titles like ARC Raiders are bound to be hit with new waves of bugs and glitches fairly regularly, thanks to the constant arrival of updates and content. Some can be silly, whilst others can be match-ruining, and update 1.23.0 impacts all of the above.
Some of the standout fixes include a return to form for the Rocketeer, as it will now sound its normal combat alert sound instead of the Vaporizers, as well as some AI adjustments for ARC during the Close Scrutiny Major Map Condition.
There’s plenty more in isolation, so for those of you interested in the minutia, here’s the full ARC Raiders Update 1.23.0 Patch Notes.
