Arc Raiders players mourn their beloved Arc killer, the Hullcracker, after Embark nerfs it into the pavement: "No idea why they'd do this"

An Arc Raiders taking cover behind a ruined car as a giant spider-like robot towers over the road.

The Hullcracker, a fan-favorite Arc Raiders weapon, got nerfed in the latest patch from Embark Studios. Players are already missing the gun so much that they've taken to mourning what once was, while discussing replacement strategies for its firepower.

An grenade launcher, the Hullcracker packs a serious punch in the right circumstances. That used to mean taking on a Bastion, the six-legged monstrosity, but now it's nowhere near as effective thanks to the explosive damage taking a dent in a recent Arc Raiders patch, forcing some ingenuity.
