What to expect from the ARC Raiders Flashpoint update
The Flashpoint update, just like all major content drops in the past, will feature several gameplay changes and QoL features. Here are the highlights of all the major content in the update.
- A new ARC enemy: Rumors suggest that it will be an enemy named Bishop, but we have yet to have a confirmation.
- New map condition: Again, it’s currently up for speculation, but we might finally have the Toxic Swamp that has been in the database for a long time.
- New player project with exclusive rewards.
- New quests to complete.
- Fresh cosmetics from the shop.
After months of highs, the player count of ARC Raiders has declined as far as Steam is concerned. It will be interesting to find out if the new update will manage to recover some of the players who haven’t played in recent times.
