ARC Raiders Latest Patch Notes – Patch 1.20.0
March 17’s quick Update 1.20.0 added a new outfit plus two new haircuts, and did a balance pass alongside some tweaks. Find the full patch notes below:
- Rawhide Outfit.
- Two new haircuts.
-
Il Toro Balancing: Dev Note: This is an adjustment many of you requested. We have tuned the Il Toro to address its DPS and effectiveness at range, especially when combined with a choke. We’re also making some changes so it performs more like a weapon of its rarity (less versatile at lower upgrade levels and more dependent on upgrades and mods). Most notably, fire-rate and reload time have been reduced, which will make it more important to fully utilize positioning, cover, and timing to defeat your opponents. We will of course continue to keep a close eye on this to see how it plays out in practice, and make additional adjustments when needed. Thank you for your feedback and patience!
- Pellet Damage reduced from 7.5 to 7
- Base Fire-Rate reduced from 43 to 38
- Base Dispersion increased from 4.5 to 6
- Total Reload Time increased from 4.3s to 5.7s: Looping Reload Entry increased from 0.8s to 1s / Looping Reload Time increased from 0.5s to 0.7s
- Damage loss from Falloff increased from 40% to 50%
- Fixed an issue that would cause persistent audio from destroyed Comets and Fireballs.
- Fixed an issue where players could get pushed through the wall and stuck on the Dam Controlled Access Zone.

- Reduced Energy Clips sell price from 1000 to 200 coins: Dev note: Energy Clips have unintentionally become a very profitable craft, so we are reducing the sell price to make the value profitability in line with other crafts.
