ARC Raiders Store Update 2.1.0: Detailed Breakdown – Don’t Miss Out!

ARC RaidersStore Update 2.1.0 went live on October 13, 2026. The store has added the new Carrion Bundle, and the update includes a large batch of targeted fixes for animations, audio, ARC behavior, items, maps, and weapon amplification. Below are the key updates.

Grappling Hook Optimizations

As a high-mobility item introduced in Update 2.0, the Grappling Hook received focused polish in this patch, directly affecting the practical value of ARC Raiders items. Changes include: using the Grappling Hook in areas like Pendola Pass now makes it easier to vault onto platforms and rooftops; auto-vaulting at the end of rope climbs is more consistent; and swinging down to walkable ground is more reliable. The issue where the rope broke when attached to overly light objects, such as the fast-moving Ballistic Gondola, has been fixed. The rope now wraps around geometry correctly while the hook is in flight. When downed by fall damage, the Grappling Hook and Tether Launcher can be deployed normally, and items at zero durability now enter a “Broken” state instead of being destroyed immediately. In short, previous problems such as stuck ropes, broken lines, and failed vaults have been largely resolved. Players who use the Grappling Hook for shortcuts, flanking, or fast rooftop movement can trust the item again.

Item Balance

The items section includes two notable balance changes. First, the research requirement for Mobile-Fire Grip Fittings has been changed from Skulker Drivers to Skulker Targeters. Second, stamina recovery consumables can no longer be used during the Sprinting on Fumes cooldown. This weakens the strategy of repeatedly using stamina potions to bypass the sprint penalty, making sprint timing and stamina management more important.

Weapon Amplification and Hairpin Fix

The Weapon Amplification system itself has not been reworked, but the UI and one damage calculation have been adjusted. When hovering over or focusing on an upgrade node in the amplification tree, the path leading to that node is now highlighted, except for locked nodes, making it easier to plan upgrade routes. The issue where the Hairpin semi-auto amplification did not correctly reduce headshot damage has also been fixed, so Hairpin damage will now match expectations. Weapon amplification depends on the Outpost research bench and corresponding ARC Raiders blueprints, so this update makes it easier to see which path to follow from your current node to your target upgrade, reducing misclicks and unnecessary material waste.

Outpost and Reward Pass Fixes

For the Outpost, recipes no longer remain incorrectly in the tracker after a module is installed. An orange indicator now appears on the Outpost tab when a project step is completed, making it easier to notice new progress. A bug that returned players to the base room after decorating a module room and exiting has been fixed. The Reward Pass progress calculation bug has also been fixed.

Store and Cosmetics: Carrion Bundle Now Available

The store update adds the Carrion Bundle and includes several cosmetic improvements. Players who have completed their fifth Expedition will retroactively receive the previously missing Zenith Outfit toggle. Weapon stencils now show their rarity in the weapon tooltip. The customization interface also adds new acquisition prompts and a “Viewed” status for stencils, making them easier to manage. These are cosmetic and token-based purchases using Raider Tokens. In-game ARC Raiders blueprints, weapons, and other items are still mainly obtained through looting, crafting, research, and rewards. If you want to obtain them faster and reduce the difficulty, you can use IGGM to reach your goals more quickly.

Overall, Store Update 2.1.0 is a patch focused on feel and stability. The Grappling Hook is more reliable, weapon amplification and consumable rules are clearer, and the new map and Frigate are more stable, along with the PvE test and the Carrion Bundle. Once you get used to the improved Grappling Hook and organize your amplification research path, you should notice a smoother experience when looting and fighting ARC.
