ARC Raiders: Store Update 2.1.0: what changed

Fixed an issue where character models would sometimes appear enlarged.

Fixed an issue where vaulting onto destroyed ARC parts could launch you or debris into the air; vaults on Matriarch, Vaporizer, Hydra, and Firefly remains are now stable.

Character animations will now have a short cooldown before they swap sides on repeated shoulder swapping.

Reduced overly loud footstep sounds when outdoors and balanced footstep volume across different surfaces.

Added clearer visual and audio feedback when melee hits land on weak points, making successful strikes easier to recognize.

Fixed an issue where shoulder swapping repeatedly could make footsteps audio not play.

Added sound effects to the Cowboy emote.

Made several more subtle audio improvements and additions.

Frigate hatches now inflict burning damage over time when they open.

Smoothed collision on Frigate cargo to prevent getting stuck on curved surfaces.

The Frigate cargo drop has been adjusted to prevent unintended knockouts.

Fixed unintended interactions between throwables and certain doors on the Emperor.

The missing Zenith Outfit toggles will be granted to all players that have completed their fifth Expedition.

Equipped weapon stencils now display their rarity in the weapon tooltip.

Fixed an issue where the Field Repair skill could fail to work after unlocking it if you had already played a round in the same session. Restarting is no longer required for it to take effect.

Fixed an issue where the camera would shake violently when another player or vegetation came between the player and the camera while firing.

Stamina-restoring consumables can no longer be used while the Sprinting on Fumes cooldown is active.

Made it easier to vault onto ledges and roofs when using the Grappling Hook, especially on Pendola Pass. Auto-vault now triggers more reliably at the top of rope climbs, and ending a swing on walkable ground is more consistent.

Fixed several issues that occurred when the Grappling Hook let players swing from objects too light to hold their weight.

Fixed an issue where the Grappling Hook could detach when tethered to fast‑moving objects like the Ballistic Gondola, causing the line to break during lift‑off.

Fixed an issue where Grappling Hooks and Tether Launchers would not release when the player was downed by fall damage.

Fixed an issue where Grappling Hooks and Tether Launchers with 0 durability would be destroyed instead of broken.

Adjusted spawns during Frigate rounds to avoid starting too far from the action under certain circumstances.

Polished Pendola Pass with collision and visual fixes, corrected footstep and impact sounds on station canopies, and improved VFX culling to prevent effects showing through surfaces.

Adjusted interior snow and terrain blending to prevent landscape from clipping into buildings.

Adjusted night lighting to be darker with reduced visibility.

In the Weapon Amplification tree, hovering or focusing an upgrade now highlights the path to that node, unless it's blocked.

Fixed an issue where the Reward Pass would not progress correctly. The End-Of-Round Reward Pass screen no longer mistakenly counts milestones from previous rounds.

Fixed a bug where End of Round inventory weight and max loadout weight did not reflect character skills like Reduced Weapon Encumbrance or Max Carry Weight.

Fixed quest objective progress bars displaying incorrectly whilst in Speranza.

Fixed an issue where visiting loot‑icon areas in Pendola Pass did not count toward the "Picking Up the Pieces" quest objective.

Cinematics for "Sizing Things Up" correctly play after quest completion.

Fixed issue where the Semi-Auto Amplification for the Hairpin did not deal reduced headshot damage.
