What to know

  • Developers removed a zipline exploit on Stella Montis that let players go out of bounds.​
  • Collision fixes address wall breaches in Blue Gate and Spaceport Launch Tower.​
  • Material issues blocking bullets and ARC vision now work properly across objects.​
  • Patch cadence moves to Tuesdays; expect the major Cold Snap update next week.​

Restart your Steam client to grab ARC Raiders' Patch 1.6.0, which targets exploits spotted by players across key maps. Developers removed a zipline on Stella Montis that let raiders slip out of bounds, ensuring matches stay within intended play areas. They also patched a vault glitch in Blue Gate where players fell through walls, alongside a collision gap on Spaceport Launch Tower that allowed shots through barriers. Multiple objects previously failed to block bullets or ARC vision; those material flaws stand fixed.​

You will notice the team shared a cadence update as well. Weekly Thursday patches wrapped up as post-launch intensity eased; critical fixes continue but skip rigid scheduling. Releases and store rotations now target Tuesdays, though winter holidays prompt a team break—monitoring persists through January. Look ahead to Cold Snap next Tuesday, December 16, packing fixes plus snowy maps, new quests, a Flickering Flames event, fresh Raider Deck cosmetics, and the first Expedition reset window.​

Developers focused on stability amid player feedback, driving changes. Embark Studios values reports that pinpoint these issues, turning them into smoother raids. Restart your client promptly to experience fairer drops on Stella Montis and beyond, while gearing up for Cold Snap's winter overhaul.​

ARC Raiders Patch Notes 1.6.0

Raiders!
We are rolling out an update right now, make sure to restart your client to download.

  • Removed a zipline that allowed players to get out of bounds on Stella Montis. 
  • Fixed collision that allowed players to vault and fall through a wall in Blue Gate.
  • Fixed material issues that caused multiple objects to not block bullet fire or ARC vision. 
  • Fixed a gap in the collision on Spaceport Launch Tower that allowed players to be shot through the wall.

We also want to give you a quick update on the patch cadence in the coming weeks.

Since the release, we have been patching every Thursday to catch the most critical issues while the team was in full swing. Our goal is to continue to investigate and fix critical issues as soon as we can, but it will not be on a weekly cadence.

From now on, our release window and store rotation will shift to Tuesdays, however, as the winter holiday period approaches, the team will be taking a much needed break so that we can come back in January ready to bring more updates. During this time we will continue to monitor and work on critical issues.

In the meantime, we are getting ready for the much larger Cold Snap update coming on Tuesday and it will bring many different fixes we have been working on along with all the new goodies.

We really appreciate all your feedback which helps us continue to improve the game.

See you Topside,
