Arc Raiders' Riven Tides update launches April 28 with a new coastline map, a sky-floating Arc Turbine enemy, fresh loot and a broad Augment re-balance. The patch overhauls the weapon economy to make upgrades more generous but weapons rarer and more fragile, sparking debate among players about weapon attrition and whether the changes will curb hoarding while keeping challenge.
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.
