Ahead of a balance patch currently planned for Tuesday, January 13, Arc Raiders design lead Virgil Watkins of developer Embark offered a preview of changes being applied to two balance outliers: the Kettle rifle and Trigger Nades.
Speaking with GamesRadar+ as part of a forthcoming wide-ranging interview, Watkins discusses the balance of power and value among Arc Raiders' gear tiers. The Kettle, a common semi-auto rifle capable of melting players when wielded with fast fingers (or a good old-fashioned macro), and Trigger Nades, which are by far the most lethal standard-use grenades around, upset that balance of power as-is and are eating deserved nerfs.
