ARC Raiders Update 1.7.2: Quick Fixes for Winter Content
Embark Studios has released update 1.7.2 for the extraction shooter ARC Raiders. This hotfix addresses several issues reported by the community following the massive winter patch. The update is live on all platforms—simply restart your game client to install it.
Key Changes One of the main adjustments concerns the economy: the blueprint drop rate has been slightly decreased. However, developers confirm it remains higher than pre-1.7.0 levels. Additionally, the "Secret Bunker" event has been re-enabled after a temporary closure.
Technical Fixes:
- Interaction Bug: Fixed an issue where spamming the interact button during unstable connections caused the character to freeze.
- Cold Protection: Missing interior volumes have been added. Indoor areas now correctly protect players from cold damage during the "Freeze" event.
- Quest Fix: The "Unexpected Initiative" quest is now fully playable (previously, essential items failed to spawn).
- Hardware: Updated driver warnings for AMD graphics card users.
