ARC Raiders Patch Triggers Steam Review Fallout

ARC Raiders’ Riven Tides update has sparked a patchy reception, with Steam reviews swinging negative after the patch. On April 29 the tally showed 364 negative versus 221 positive reviews, and the trend has continued, with today’s numbers around 285 negative to 154 positive. The update did little to boost player counts and drew criticism for PvP incentives and weapon durability changes, though the game still holds about 85% positive on Steam due to its strong launch.

Riven Tides Patch 1.26.0 Expands Coastline, Reworks Weapons Economy, and Buffs Bettina

Patch 1.26.0 for Riven Tides adds a new coastline area and ARC Turbine enemy, introduces new loot and items, and launches a sweeping weapon-economy overhaul including repair-on-upgrade and revamped weapon durability. Durability changes reduce average spawned weapon durability (50→30), grant 25% repair on upgrades, and adjust durability loss by rarity, while knockouts cut durability loss by 50%. Bettina is buffed (higher base damage and ARC armor damage, lower fire rate, refined dispersion) and a new Tactical Mk.3 augment joins the roster; numerous bug fixes, balance tweaks, map updates (Blue Gate, Buried City, Spaceport, Dam Battlegrounds), and QoL/performance improvements accompany the patch. Known issues list remains for rare edge cases.
