ARC Raiders Reveals Patch Notes for 1.28.0 Update

On May 12, Embark Studios released patch 1.28.0 for ARC Raiders, addressing a missing skill points issue that emerged on May 11. Players who had 'departed' during the Expedition event did not receive promised Skill Points used to improve permanent stats. The developer quickly acknowledged the problem and now fixed it, though they continue tracking affected accounts to manually deliver points in the coming days. The update also introduces The Castaway outfit set via a new store rotation. This patch follows a recent regional pricing adjustment and is the third update since April 30, indicating a faster update cadence. Previous patches addressed other glitches like the Trigger 'Nade exploit. Embark has also promised stricter anti-cheat measures, a major community concern. While this patch is relatively minor, it shows the studio's commitment to responsiveness and game health.
