The Arc Raiders update 1.30.0 is now live on all platforms and overhauls Ermal trade prices. However, Embark Studios also confirmed that balancing changes will no longer be addressed in weekly updates. Here are the latest Arc Raiders patch notes.
Arc Raiders Update 1.30.0 Makes Ermal Trades Much Cheaper
Arc Raiders update 1.30.0 rolled out today, although it’s not technically a proper update. As Embark Studios revealed last week, the extraction shooter will no longer have weekly patches and will instead be delivering bigger updates once a month. Regardless, an Arc Raiders update 1.30.0 update still went live today, which has a pretty significant impact on Ermal.
In this latest patch, the new Arc Raiders Ermal Trade feature has been dramatically overhauled. After player feedback, Embark has lowered trade prices across the board, as they were initially too expensive. According to the Swedish studio, they hope the new pricing tiers will encourage players to trade more with the NPC.
