ARC Raiders Patch 1.6.0 Introduces Measures to Prevent Players from Going Out of Bounds
Embark Studios has launched patch 1.6.0 for the game ARC Raiders. This update is relatively minor compared to prior releases. It primarily focuses on preventing players from going out of bounds in the Stella Montis map.
Key Fixes in ARC Raiders Patch 1.6.0
The patch addresses several critical issues that affected gameplay. Key changes include:
- Removal of a zipline that enabled players to exit the map in Stella Montis.
- Fixing collision issues that allowed players to vault and fall through walls in Blue Gate.
- Resolution of material problems that prevented certain objects from stopping bullet fire and ARC vision.
- Correction of a gap in the collision on Spaceport Launch Tower, which allowed players to be shot through the walls.
Patch Release Schedule Changes
Embark Studios has announced a shift in its patch release schedule. Future updates will now occur on Tuesdays instead of Thursdays. The Cold Snap update will be the inaugural Tuesday release, set to launch next week.
Additionally, the team will observe a break during the Christmas and New Year holidays. Only critical issues will be addressed during this period, with regular updates expected to resume in January.
Community Feedback and Future Prospects
Following a couple of weeks as a leading extraction shooter, community feedback remains vital. A recent review highlighted both strengths and areas for improvement. Tuffcub noted that while the core gameplay excels, aspects such as inventory management on consoles could use refinement. Additionally, the current lack of engaging in-game events limits the excitement of each playthrough.
As players continue to engage with ARC Raiders, ongoing updates are crucial for enhancing the gaming experience and addressing community concerns.
