ARC Raiders Update Fixes Frustrating Bug That's Been Around For Months

A new ARC Raiders patch has fixed a bunch of annoying bugs and exploits that have persisted in the game for months.

Patch 1.23.0 for ARC Raiders rolled out this week, and while it doesn’t look too substantial, there are a bunch of fixes and changes here that should make your experience a little smoother.

Some of the issues addressed in the latest patch include an issue on Stella Montis where players could be shot through the floor, and another bug where players could get set on fire outside of the locked room on that map’s Medical Research.

One glitch in particular that players may be glad to see the back of is the one where two Trigger Nades would deal triple damage when detonated together.

Since grenade spam can be a bit of a problem in some ARC Raiders matches, it’s something that’s come up in complaints many times before. So things should feel a little more balanced now.

Altogether, a pretty small but decent update that should round out the experience for you while we wait for Riven Tides to drop later this month.
