ARC Raiders Dev Discusses Upcoming Balance Update for January 2026

Since its launch, ARC Raiders has been regularly improved with updates addressing bugs, balancing gameplay, and adding fresh content. The game receives patches almost every week, with a short pause over the holidays. Updates resumed on January 10th with version 1.7.3, and the December ‘Cold Snap’ update introduced a new wintry map condition that limited visibility and muffled sounds. The developers are now working on major changes to two weapons, which will be included in the next update.
