Overview
- Embark released update 1.3.0 on November 20 across platforms (console download 1.000.010), delivering a new balance patch.
- Venator pistol toned down: upgrade fire‑rate bonuses cut to 13/26/40% and weight raised from 2 to 5 to curb close‑range dominance.
- Explosives reworked to stop multi‑part damage on large ARC units, with the Hullcracker’s output adjusted to require more precise hits.
- Economy shifts include a steep Deadline mine nerf (15,000‑coin price, pricier crafting, trader stock 3→1), launcher ammo craftable at the Workbench without a blueprint under a new recipe, and higher Aphelion blueprint drop rates.
- Map and stability fixes span Shredder navigation/handling, removal of two risky Stella Montis spawns, collision and exploit plugs across several maps, audio clarity and crash fixes, plus Raider Dens now showcase many more rubber ducks.
