Following the explosive launch of Embark Studios’ ARC Raiders late last year, the team shared an official roadmap detailing the next 12 months of the live-service extraction shooter’s update plans. Ahead of its arrival later today, the team have shared everything you need to know about ARC Raiders’ Flashpoint Update.

Releasing a blog post to detail all of the upcoming content coming to ARC Raiders with the Flashpoint Update, the team at Embark have shared everything players will need to know upon its arrival later today. Partially teased in the initial roadmap, the Flashpoint Update is set to introduce the following:

• New Major Map Condition – ARC Operations (Close Scrutiny)
  • Features less loot around the map
  • Increased importance on the ARC Assessor
• New ARC Threat – Vaporizer
  • A flying ARC type featuring “devastating laser attacks and idiosyncratic attack patterns”

• New Weapons and Items
  • Canto submachine gun with medium ammo
  • Dolabra energy shotgun with a variable focus
  • Surge Coil deployable defensive device
• New Project – High Gain Antenna
• You can now increase the types of loot Scrappy collects by feeding him particular items
• Enemy placement adjustments
• Crafting improvements with less tab-switching required to craft gear

Of course, the update will also launch alongside a suite of new paid cosmetics – a staple for pretty much all live-service titles at this point. Regardless, the Flashpoint Update represents the next stage in ARC Raiders’ first year on the market. It will be interesting to see how players respond to these changes and additions.
