ARC Raiders
ARC Raiders patch reports covering Expeditions, projects, extraction systems, currencies, maps, balance, and performance.
Live Update 1.45.0 starts Expedition 5 and gives returning Raiders until October 8 to spend Cred.
ARC Raiders Live Update 1.45.0 starts Expedition 5, adds the Ascending the Mountain Raider Project, and begins the transition away from Cred before Frozen Trail arrives on October 8.
Is now a good time to return?
It is a good time to check back in, especially if you have unused Cred or want a runway into the next major map and operation. The update is preparation and progression, not Frozen Trail itself.
What should you watch out for?
Spend Cred before October 8, review Expedition quest-reset behavior, and check the new quick-item cycling controls. The update also fixes several crashes, voice-chat failures, and ARC interaction problems.
Start with the newest verdict.
