ARC Raiders Live Update 1.39.0 is now out!
- Patch highlights:
• Testing Defensive PvP in matchmaking: Defending yourself no longer affects your playstyle estimate (only fights you start count)
• Improved footstep audio in water and more distinct Dodge Roll sounds
• Fixed inconsistent damage for Seeker Grenade and Wolfpack Grenade
• Multiple map collision, clipping, and stuck-spot fixes on Dam Battlegrounds and Buried City
• Extensive UI and Project improvements
- Balance changes:
• Matchmaking:
◦ Defensive PvP impact removed entirely (test starting now)
◦ Only fights you initiate influence playstyle estimate
◦ Defending: Other squad damages/downs/knocks your squad first
◦ Starting a fight: Your squad strikes first, or third-partying an ongoing fight
◦ Weight scales with encounter severity (drawn-out fights weigh more than brief/accidental ones)
