ARC Raiders Dev Discusses Weapon Balancing

Despite ongoing concerns about cheating, players are also talking about the recent Update 1.11.0 for ARC Raiders. While this first update of 2026 was relatively small, two changes have significantly impacted gameplay. The popular Trigger ‘Nade has been adjusted to deal less damage the further a target is from the blast center, and its detonation time is now slightly longer. Additionally, the Kettle’s fire rate has been modified to address an issue where players were using macros to make it fire much faster than intended, causing problems in the game lobby.
