Embark Confirms Stealth Nerf to Arc Raiders’ Security Breach, Weighs Skill Resets

Citing overgenerous Security Lockers, the studio signals a possible respec for players invested in the late‑tree perk.

Overview

  • Update 1.2.0 reduced the value of Security Lockers tied to the Security Breach skill after Embark determined they were over‑providing rare and legendary items.
  • Embark acknowledged the change was missing from public patch notes, with community manager Ossen confirming the omission on the official Discord.
  • The team says it is exploring a skill reset mechanic to ease the impact on players who spent time unlocking the perk, though no timeline has been given.
  • Player reaction remains split across Discord and Reddit, with vocal frustration over the stealth change and some support for broader balance.
  • Beyond balance, the 1.2.0 patch delivered fixes for server movement latency, quest and achievement issues, impact‑effect timing, and terrain exploits.
