Patch Notes 1.18.0 | ARC Raiders
March 3, 2026
Raiders, prepare for an exciting update!
A new patch is now live, and it's packed with improvements to enhance your gaming experience.
** Critical Fixes:
- We've patched a game-breaking exploit where players could bypass the Safekeeper Augment and store weapons in safe pockets.
- The Snaphook issue has been resolved, preventing players from placing it in safe pockets while in use.
** Balancing Changes:
- To ensure a fair gameplay experience, we've adjusted the blueprint drop rates. While rare blueprints will be slightly less common, you'll now receive higher-tier materials from First Wave Caches on the Hurricane map. This change aims to balance the abundance of blueprints and reward players with more valuable resources.
** Additional Fixes:
- A hotfix has been applied to the Dam Controlled Access Zone, addressing any potential issues.
- We've resolved performance drops caused by certain ARC interactions.
- The quest 'Worth Your Salt' is now fully accessible, even if another player has completed it in the same raid.
- A rare crash bug when accessing the Player Proximity menu has been fixed.
With these updates, we aim to provide a smoother and more enjoyable gaming journey. Happy raiding, everyone!
Sincerely,
//Ossen
