Arc Raiders Hotfix Tones Down Blueprint Drops, Reopens Hidden Bunker as Embark Grants 1,000 Tokens

The adjustment follows a blueprint surge after Cold Snap expanded spawn locations, relocating Aphelion to Stella Montis.

Overview

  • Update 1.7.2 is live on all platforms, slightly lowering blueprint drop rates while keeping them higher than before version 1.7.0.
  • The patch re-enables the Hidden Bunker and fixes Cold Snap issues, including missing indoor cold-protection volumes, an interaction lock bug, and the “Unexpected Initiative” quest spawns.
  • Embark is giving every player 1,000 Raider Tokens via in-game mail, with the gift available during the winter event that runs through January 13.
  • Players reported a sharp post–Cold Snap spike in blueprint finds, especially on Stella Montis and during Snowfall or Night conditions, after spawn locations were broadened and Aphelion moved.
  • Community response to the rollback is divided, and the studio communicated the changes via patch notes and Discord as it continues to monitor balance.
