January Update 1.11.0

Hey, Raiders!

Update 1.11.0 is rolling out on all platforms and it brings the highly anticipated Abyss cosmetic set along with some fixes and balancing changes to the Trigger ‘Nade and Kettle. Restart your client to download.

We are also celebrating a huge milestone - 12 million ARC Raiders copies sold! We prepared a gift for reaching 10 million players, but you blew right past it over the holidays... we're not complaining! Everyone who has logged in since launch until Jan 13 11:59pm CET/Jan 13 2:59pm PST/Jan 13 5:59pm EST can pick up the Gilded Pickaxe Raider Tool.

• Kettle
• • Dev note: Reduced fire rate from 600 to 450. The previous fire rate was only realistically reachable by players using macros, which creates an unfair dynamic that favours using 3rd party software.
• Trigger ‘Nade
• • Dev note: Trigger ‘Nade currently dominates PVP encounters, and players favour picking it over all our other grenades. This nerf aims to make it less usable as a “trigger-in-air” grenade, whilst keeping its usefulness as a sticky bomb. Damage falloff has been rebalanced to concentrate the damage closer to the center of the explosion, and deal less damage further away. The delay between triggering the grenade and it detonating, has been increased from 0.7s to 1.5s, giving players more time to react, and making it harder to time the detonation in air.
• Fixed a key card exploit that allowed players to keep room keys after using them.
• Lighting has been lowered in some areas on Stella Montis Night Raid making flashlights and listening more relevant.

See you Topside,
