Embark released the 2.3.0 update for ARC Raiders on all platforms on October 27, with the console version showing as 1.000.066. This update introduces the player project "Soul Tribute" and brings approximately 100 fixes and adjustments.
The "Soul Tribute" revolves around Toledo's four contrade, which will jointly commemorate the Raiders lost in surface operations. Following this period of frequent updates, bug fixes will revert to a three-week release cycle, while store content will continue to update weekly.
In terms of combat and loot, the reward level for containers near the Emperor entrance has been reduced, making it easier to obtain high-tier loot in deeper areas. The base charge capacity of Heavy Shields has increased from 80 to 90; Flame Spray's damage per second has increased from 10 to 13, with durability consumption reduced by 50%; Firefly Burners now activate immediately upon hitting a target with a throw, leaving a trail of fire and exploding after approximately 3 seconds. Issues with grapple hook acceleration anomalies, tethering, and animations have also been fixed, and visual and audio cues for Frigate puzzles have been made clearer.
Technical adjustments include updating the FSR plugin to version 4.1.1, reducing audio memory usage on Xbox Series S, and adding mitigations for GPU crashes related to ray tracing on AMD RX 7000 series cards. The update also disables the Expedition Vault; players who purchased slots will receive Bronze Statuettes as compensation, with existing items transferred to the stash.
