Arc Raiders Update 1.20.0: Shotgun Nerfed, Maps Fixed, New Cosmetics Added

The developers of Arc Raiders continue to fine-tune weapon statistics and address in-game issues with their latest patch.

Update 1.20.0 has been released for Arc Raiders, bringing a host of adjustments, bug fixes, and fresh cosmetic options, including new hairstyles and the “Rawhide” skin.

Significant Changes in Update 1.20.0:

Il Toro Shotgun Nerf:

The powerful Il Toro shotgun has received substantial adjustments to balance its performance:

  • Projectile damage reduced from 7.5 to 7.
  • Base fire rate decreased from 43 to 38.
  • Reload time increased from 4.3 to 5.7 seconds.
  • Damage falloff due to distance increased from 40% to 50%, making it less effective at longer ranges.

Economy and Bug Fixes:

  • The selling price of energy magazines has been significantly reduced from 1000 credits to 200 credits.
  • Fixed a persistent audio bug where the sound effects of destroyed “Comets” and “Fireballs” would continuously loop.
  • Addressed map exploits by fixing a bug that allowed players to clip into a wall on the “Dam Battlefield” map.
  • Resolved collision system issues on the “Spaceport” map, improving player movement and interactions.
