Arc Raiders update 1.23.0 Patch Notes Explained
After being delayed 24 hours, the Arc Raiders Update 1.23.0 is rolling out for players globally. As we reported last month, weekly patches now mainly focus on bug fixes and gameplay balances. So while not the biggest update, the latest Arc Raiders patch notes still feature some pretty significant changes.
One of the biggest features in the update is that Embark Studios has fixed an issue where weapons would fire automatically while switching items. As many Raiders know, this was a pretty annoying issue. However, the latest Arc Raiders update also balances the new Flashpoint Close Scrutiny map condition in some pretty interesting ways.
For your convenience, here are the full Arc Raiders patch notes for Update 1.23.0:
