Arc Raiders is finally getting its big Flashpoint update this week, on Tuesday, March 31, to be precise, and both Arc and raiders are getting beefed up alongside a new map condition and some much-needed crafting improvements. Of course, this is all in addition to the new quests, store bundles, and quality of life adjustments you expect from a big new update.
The dubious highlight of the Flashpoint update is the new Arc type, the drone-like Vaporizer, which uses "devastating laser attacks and idiosyncratic attack patterns" as it stalks raiders from the sky. Players will also have to face their fears against Shredders, which have broken from their confinement and will now appear in Rust Belt maps like Blue Gate, Buried City, Spaceport, and Dam Battlegrounds during map conditions.
