New Item
Upon entering the game, you'll see a new item called Sturdy Base. The changes to this item aren't particularly groundbreaking. Besides displaying your rewards, you can also obtain considerable rewards and items, such as ARC Alloy, ARC Flex Rubber, and ARC Performance Steel, giving you an advantage beyond just weapon equipment.
Feeding Scrappy

New Skins
Shift your focus to the shop. Many new skins await your visit. First, check out ARC Raider Wasp Hunter Set, priced at $19.99. First, let's look at ARC Raider Wasp Hunter Set, priced at $19.99. In addition to being able to change the appearance of colors to meet your different matching needs, you can also do whatever you want with the parts inside this set, such as Helmet and Tech parts. The flexibility is far greater than you expect.
In terms of details, the detachable mask, shoulder pad, and sleeves with built-in cables are all highly customizable. Adding the red and white variant, Helmet, and Thrust Hammer, Wasp Hunter Set totals 2,400 Raider tokens, making it a great value compared to its actual price.
Next, let's look at Brigade Set. If you already have Electrician Backpack, then you have no reason to refuse to buy this set. You can purchase it directly at the super low price of 900 Raider tokens and then have the color variant.
The key update to this set is the skin. You can freely choose from blue and white, white, black and gold, and red, black and green color schemes. The helmet components don't restrict your choices. There's also a Hip Bag and a Tech Bag that can be removed, long pants can be turned into shorts, and the color of the mask will change over time.
New Weapons and New Enemies
New weapons include Canto and Dabra. Canto is a fully automatic submachine gun. Dabra, as an energy shotgun, will likely be of gold quality. These weapons are all quite powerful, and it would be even better if they were easier to obtain. Focus on acquiring ARC Raiders Blueprints to craft weapons.
While upgrading your weapons, keep an eye on your new opponent. Vaporizers have become part of ARC enemy. Its highlight is that it releases a laser powerful enough to vaporize you. However, its appearance is also full of technology and fashion sense.
Keys and Loot
The most noteworthy change in this patch is the increased quality of loot obtained from all locked rooms. The increase in value depends on the key color. It's clear that player feedback has been considered. The implementation of this suggestion allowed things to continue on a positive trajectory.
Generally, if you have purple keys, you'll get the most loot compared to other key colors, followed by blue keys and then green keys. This will greatly improve your key utilization, carrying, and storage.
Crafting System and Balance Adjustments
Additionally, there are some minor optimizations, improving ARC Raider crafting system and adding some hidden items to the console. Furthermore, if you want to create a Bobcat, clicking on “acquire resources” will display a detailed list of the materials you will need, allowing you to prepare accordingly.
This balance adjustment primarily strengthens Rocketeers. They now take less collision damage and are no longer immediately destroyed after being stunned. Firefly Burner has been replaced with a Canister, so it will spew fire when shot, potentially proving useful as a fire torch.
Map Related
The new map state, Close Scrutiny, has also been introduced. At this point, the locked doors are no longer there, and the overall value of loot in the area has been reduced, while the number of arc loots has increased. This makes your activities more dangerous, so stay careful and vigilant.
There are also several map changes. A quick look reveals that the number of Sentinel spawn points on Dam Battlegrounds has increased. The areas in Buried City that previously caused lag are no longer present. Leapers, Bombardiers, Bastions, and Rocketeers are also more prevalent.
ARC Raider 1.22.0 Flashpoint patch has continuously optimized many details and addressed many issues. In addition to covering the core content in this guide, there are other minor optimizations waiting for you to discover.
