Arc Raiders Update 1.19.0: New Skin, Comet Fixes, Frozen Water Bodies, and Map Vulnerability Patches
The developers behind Arc Raiders have released update 1.19.0, addressing significant player feedback and introducing fresh content. Players had previously raised concerns about the "Comet" loot bug, among other issues, which have now been resolved.
This latest patch brings the brand-new "Devotee" skin, alongside a selection of new hairstyles, offering more customization options for players.
Several critical vulnerabilities and bugs across the game's maps have been fixed. These include a zipline exploit on the "Blue Gate" map and an error that could cause players to become stuck in doorways on "Stella Montis."
A bug allowing players to place the grappling hook into a hidden pocket while it was actively in use has also been rectified.
Notably, the update resolves the specific issue where two loot collection points would appear after the destruction of a "Comet," streamlining the scavenging process.
Environmental adjustments have also been made. On the "Dam Battlefield" map, all water bodies will now correctly freeze during "winter" weather conditions. Furthermore, developers have decreased the frequency of lightning strikes occurring during electromagnetic storms.
