The latest patch for ARC Raiders introduces a new trader, Ermal, a Nomadic Envoy, who brings a range of tempting trades to Speranza. Raiders who have reached Level 25 can barter high-value ARC materials and rare weapons for expanded stash space and expedition vault access. Ermal also offers weekly rotating trades, including cosmetics, blueprints, and gameplay items. The patch also includes a new grenade launcher, The Rascal, which is lightweight and compact, making it a reliable side-arm for those who want anti-ARC firepower without the risk of lugging around a Hullcracker. Additionally, the patch includes a variety of bug fixes and improvements, such as fixing an issue where players would be teleported when standing on destroyed ARC parts, reducing the power cost of Photoelectric Cloak, and improving the durability of weapons. The patch also includes balance changes, such as increasing the granularity of ARC vision through bushes and smokes, and improving how ARC perceives sound in open outdoor spaces. The patch also introduces a new feature that allows players to block players after reporting, and includes an update on security and anti-cheat measures, with the addition of Denuvo Anti-Cheat.
