ARC Raiders Update 1.11.0 Nerfs Kettle and Trigger 'Nade, Fixes Exploit, Offers Gilded Pickaxe

Embark says the tweaks curb macro abuse to restore fairer PvP.

Overview

  • Patch 1.11.0 is live on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox (console build 1.000.017), delivering targeted PvP balance changes and fixes.
  • The Kettle rifle’s maximum fire rate drops from 600 RPM to 450 RPM to negate advantages gained through macros or third‑party software.
  • Trigger ’Nade receives a longer detonation delay from 0.7 to 1.5 seconds and tighter damage falloff to reduce mid‑air instant kills while preserving sticky‑bomb use.
  • A keycard exploit that let players retain room keys after use is fixed, and lighting is lowered in areas of Stella Montis Night Raid to heighten flashlight and audio importance.
  • Embark marks a milestone of over 12 million players with a free Gilded Pickaxe for accounts that logged in since launch through January 13 and refreshes the store with the Abyss cosmetic set, with more anti‑cheat measures promised.
