"Arc Raiders" has only been released for a week, and this new sci-fi-themed escape shooter is off to a strong start and has launched a new content update.The patch notes for this update include three new additions: a weather system, a hidden bunker to explore, and a nighttime raid mode for the Blue Door map.
Developer Embark Studio revealed that the latest 1.1.0 version of "Arc Raiders" has launched a number of game adjustments, but the new map environment (including weather, etc.) will be unlocked on November 8 (Saturday).The game will then add dynamic weather - electromagnetic storms accompanied by lightning. This weather element will affect some map areas and increase the risk of exploration in these areas.However, the developers also hinted that lightning will leave special traces after it strikes, and it may be worth exploring by players.
The new hidden bunker provides players with a new area to explore and more opportunities to obtain high-level loot.It was revealed that this underground bunker is located somewhere near the outskirts of the "Spaceport" map.
Finally, the weekend update will introduce a more difficult night raid mode for the Blue Gate map.Under the cover of night, players will have the opportunity to obtain rarer loot.
It is reported that Embark Studio’s “Arc Raiders” has sold 2.5 million copies in its first week, with total revenue exceeding US$100 million.
