Embark Studios Updates ARC Raiders to Address Controversial Free Loadout Mechanic
By
Grant Taylor-Hill
Summary
Embark Studios has released a new update for ARC Raiders that changes how free loadouts work in the extraction shooter. Free loadouts, which allow players to enter raids with randomized kits, have been a contentious mechanic since launch. Players who invest in paid kits have long requested adjustments, as free loadouts offered minimal downsides for users but created unfair encounters for others. The update finally addresses these balance concerns months after the game's launch.

For the longest time, players more geared towards taking in 'paid kits' and running into other players to fight them have requested Embark Studios examine how they manage this mechanic.
Now, months after launch, that has finally happened.
