Arc Raiders' Flashpoint update is here, and as well as adding new weapons and unleashing Shredders upon all of the maps, Embark has made a change to matchmaking that's already going down very well.
As detailed in the Flashpoint patch notes, one highlight of the update is that "players who build their own loadout are more likely to join fresh servers." Embark elaborates on this in a dev note, saying: "As part of an ongoing look at free loadout usage and how it impacts the game, we're going to bias the matchmaking to put players with custom loadouts into fresh servers."
