The next major update for ARC Raiders, Flashpoint, officially drops tomorrow, and it’s looking to be the most packed content drop in months for the extraction shooter. As teased last week, the Shredders have escaped Stella Montis and are wreaking havoc in other maps, but there’s also a new threat to deal with: The Vaporiser.
Imagine a flying ARC. Now imagine one with a laser. If that sounds like a nightmare, then good luck, especially in the new ARC Operations. This map condition adds objectives like Close Scrutiny, where the majority of the loot is in strange new probes called Assessors. Careful, though – it attracts more than enough attention from the rest of the map to want a piece.
You’ll have new weapons to craft for an edge, including the Canto SMG for close encounters; the Dolabra shotgun, which has two firing modes (including an electric blast); and the Surge Coil, a deployable that will shock anything that enters its perimeter. Players can also partake in a new Project, High Gain Antenna, and even obtain more varied loot from Scrappy by feeding him certain items.
Check out all the details for Flashpoint here, and expect even more changes, including balance updates, when it drops on March 31st.
