Arc Raiders receives an update that focuses on making a very specific sector of the community happy: those who enjoy getting into shootouts

The Shrouded Sky 1.17 update of Arc Raiders has brought significant changes to weapon balance, especially focused on improving the gameplay experience in PvP mode. Embark has identified that some low-level weapons, such as the Stitcher and the Kettle, have been excelling on the battlefield, facilitating free charges in the game and penalizing competitiveness.

An update for those who do not speak

The Stitcher has seen its elimination time increased, while the Kettle’s damage has been reduced. These adjustments aim to encourage the use of higher quality weapons while reducing the preference for strategies that rely on low-cost armaments. Despite not being adjusted this time, the Il Toro shotgun continues to raise concerns among players due to the imbalances it causes during gameplay.

In the game’s Discord server, the community has expressed its concerns about these issues, and Embark has acknowledged that it is working on solutions to address the frustrating dynamics of PvP. Although Il Toro has not received nerfs in this update, it has been confirmed that the development team is evaluating its impact and considering future adjustments.

In addition, the update has included improvements to the Aphelion, a weapon that had been considered underperforming in the PvP context, providing players with more balanced options. Other changes include the additional nerf to the Venator, which has increased its elimination time, while developers warn of possible adjustments to its ammunition consumption if current results are not satisfactory.

In summary, while Embark continues to listen to the voices of its community, these modifications represent an effort to balance the game and promote a fairer experience for all players in the increasingly competitive environment of Arc Raiders.
