ARC Raiders: Patch notes for update 1.11.0
What do the patch notes say? We have translated the English patch notes for you. You can expect the following changes after downloading update 1.11.0:
- Kettle
- Developer Note: The fire rate has been reduced from 600 to 450. The previous fire rate was realistically only achievable by players using macros. This created an unfair dynamic that favored the use of third-party software.
- Trigger Grenade
- Developer Note: The trigger grenade currently dominates PVP encounters, and players prefer it over all our other grenades. This nerf aims to make it less effective as an “in-air detonator” grenade while maintaining its utility as a sticky bomb. The damage drop has been rebalanced to concentrate damage closer to the center of the explosion and cause less damage at range. The delay between grenade activation and detonation has been increased from 0.7s to 1.5s. This gives players more time to react and makes it more difficult to time the detonation in the air.
- A keycard exploit has been fixed that allowed players to retain keycards after use.
- The lighting in some areas of Stella Montis Night Raid has been reduced to make flashlights and hearing (listening) more relevant.
