Arc Raiders update nerfs the Kettle and Trigger Nade as Embark acknowledges the latter "currently dominates PVP encounters," with changes making it "less usable as a 'trigger-in-air' grenade"

Arc Raiders.

Arc Raiders update 1.11.0 is here, nerfing the Kettle and making alterations to the Trigger Nade, as developer Embark acknowledges it "currently dominates PVP encounters."

In the 1.11.0 patch notes, Embark explains that the Kettle's fire rate has been reduced from 600 to 450, noting that "the previous fire rate was only realistically reachable by players using macros, which creates an unfair dynamic that favours using 3rd party software." Design lead Virgil Watkins recently told us in an interview that Embark has actually seen some people manage to reach this limit manually, but generally speaking, it sounds like this alteration should make things a little fairer across the board.
