Update 1.2.0 patch notes are now available for all ARC Raiders, and there's a substantial amount of changes in this version.
It marks the start of The North Line update, which is the first significant content drop in ARC Raiders since its global launch. While the Stella Montis map headlines the patch, there are plenty of nerfs and buffs to go through, too.
This guide will give you a quick overview of all the major changes.
Complete ARC Raiders Update 1.2.0 patch notes
Here are the main highlights of the new match.
- Stella Montis is available as the fifth map. You'll have to work together with the community to unlock the map.
- New set of Stella Montis exclusive quests.
- Two new enemies in the form of the Shredder and Matriarch.
- New Explosives
- Two new play styles
While all these additions will be excellent for fans to enjoy, there are plenty of gameplay changes.
- Reduced character movement latency on the server to improve the "desync" problem, where it looks like you get damaged even after getting behind cover.
- Fixed an issue that prevented players from completing quests involving multiple objectives or item collections within a single round.
- Fixed various achievements not working correctly. Players will need to redo some achievements with only one objective item (e.g., "Destroy the Queen") while achievements with multiple objectives will only need parts of them completed again.
- Reduced delay between shooting at ARC and seeing impact effects on the target.
- Fixed various locations where players could fall through the terrain.
Here are some of the critical balance changes you can witness in ARC Raiders after downloading the update.
- Wolfpack value increased from 3,000 to 5,000 Coins.
- ARC motion Core and ARC Circuitry are now available at Refiner level 2.
- Value of Launcher ammo increased from 100 to 200 Coins.
- Reduced XP per damage for Bastion, Bombardier, Rocketeer, and Leaper.
- Increased XP from looting ARC Parts from Rocketeer Thrusters and Leaper Leg.
Update 1.2.0 also features plenty of bug fixes, which include solutions for those suffering from desync. Hopefully, the gameplay and balance updates will be the icing on the cake as we get busy with Stella Montis. You can read the complete patch notes on the official Embark website.
