Embark Studios has rolled out Hotfix 1.36.1 for ARC Raiders across all platforms, tackling a duplication issue and a UI bug that was showing the wrong rewards on the Expedition screen. The studio also confirmed it will keep banning accounts that have been abusing exploits to gain an unfair advantage.
If you're playing right now, the fix is already live - you just need to grab it. Embark asks that you restart your game to download the update.
What does Hotfix 1.36.1 actually fix?
The patch is a small targeting two specific problems that had cropped up. Here's what's included:
Duplication issue - the hotfix mitigates a dupe exploit that had been floating around.
Expedition UI bug - it corrects a display issue where the Expedition screen was showing Skill Points instead of Mystery Rewards for players on their fourth Expedition.
That second fix ties directly into the big change we covered recently, where ARC Raiders' Fourth Expedition ditches Skill Points for a new "Mystery Reward" system built around Blueprints and Raider Tokens. With the new rewards in play, it makes sense that the wrong values were slipping onto the Expedition screen, and now that's sorted.
Are exploiters still getting banned?
Yes. Embark reiterated its stance on cheating, making it clear that the ban wave isn't stopping. As the studio put it in the announcement:
As we stated before regarding the use of exploits, we will continue issuing bans on accounts that have been gaining significant advantage.
The team also took a moment to thank the community for flagging issues and keeping things fair, signing off with a nod to everyone "playing by the rules."
