ARC Raiders Aren’t Happy About Recent Nerf

Despite its huge success – including winning Best Multiplayer Game at the 2025 Game Awards and selling over 12 million copies – ARC Raiders has faced some challenges. The developers at Embark Studios have consistently released major content updates, but many players are unhappy with how weapons are balanced. Specifically, players feel that freely available weapons are too effective compared to more powerful, unlockable guns like the Bobcat and Bettina, and have been requesting adjustments for weeks.
