What Happened
The latest update for ARC Raiders, titled Shrouded Sky, has been officially released, introducing the Hurricane map condition. This new feature brings violent storms, heavy winds, and low visibility, significantly altering gameplay dynamics. Players will face challenges such as flying debris and increased risks during combat, while also having the opportunity to discover First Wave Caches amidst the chaos.
Why It Matters
This update marks a substantial shift in the game’s meta, with significant weapon nerfs and balances. Notably, the Stitcher and Kettle weapons have been nerfed, reducing their effectiveness in player-versus-player (PvP) scenarios. Additionally, the crafting requirements for the Wolfpack grenade have been adjusted, making it less accessible. These changes are expected to encourage new strategies and gameplay styles among players.
What’s Next
Players can anticipate ongoing adjustments as the Hurricane condition remains active for several weeks. The update also introduces two new ARC enemies, a seasonal player project, and various gameplay enhancements, including facial hair customization and weapon balancing. For a complete overview, players are encouraged to review the full patch notes available on the official ARC Raiders website.
