The update also lowers Energy Clips resale value and fixes several issues, including persistent audio from destroyed projectiles and various collision gaps, alongside other balance tweaks and bug fixes.

Arc Raiders taps real voices for AI-driven lines, boosting immersion

Arc Raiders’ developer Embark Studios re-recorded some AI-generated voice lines with professional actors after launch, saying real voices provide higher quality. The studio paid actors to license their voices for text-to-speech use and replaced several lines, though not all AI lines were scrapped. In response to feedback, the team plans to keep using actors for updates while still employing AI for non-essential lines.

Embark Says AAA Quality Comes With a Quarter-Budget

Embark Studios CEO Patrick Söderlund argues that AAA-quality results can be achieved with far fewer people and a smaller budget by modernizing pipelines, using photogrammetry and procedural generation, and treating AI as a production tool rather than a replacement for actors; Arc Raiders is positioned to make a niche extraction shooter more accessible, with plans for multiple titles without a dramatic headcount increase.

Arc Raiders Drops AI Voices for Real Actors

Embark Studios says Arc Raiders has shifted away from AI-generated voice lines, with many lines now recorded by real actors and paid for booth time; the studio uses AI mainly as a production tool to test lines before recording and still licenses or uses AI for non-essential lines like certain location pings. The move is intended to improve immersion and reassure players about actor involvement, though some AI usage remains.

ARC Raiders Unveils Firefly and Comet, Deploys Fresh Tactics for Topside Skirmishes

ARC Raiders introduces two new top-side enemies: Firefly, a tenacious aerial threat, and Comet, a heavily armored rolling explosive. Tactics include using a Photoelectric Cloak or exploiting the Firefly’s fuel tank while staying in solid cover or indoors; lure grenades can help against Firefly, and aggressive, surgical shots are advised. For the Comet, aggro from a distance to make it expose its inner weak point, use high rate-of-fire or armor-piercing ammo, spread out your squad to minimize group damage, and target armor plating on the sides or the front when it reveals weak points. Quick thinking and coordinated play are key to surviving these predators.”,
