Your tentative alliance with the Nomads is progressing by the day. Nomads wander the streets of Speranza, bringing stories, valuable information, and loot to trade. As the ARC presence Topside ever increases in scale, making reliable friends has never been so important. The 1.36.0 update has just dropped, bringing bug fixes, QoL updates, matchmaking tweaks, new Expedition and Trials Season, and a crossover outfit from the virtual gameshow world of THE FINALS! ##### **What’s New?** - [Expedition 4](https://arcraiders.com/news/the-fourth-expedition) - Zenith Outfit - [Trials Season 5](https://arcraiders.com/news/trials-season-5) - Scorta Outfit - Solo, Duo, and Trio Matchmaking - ARC Raiders & THE FINALS Crossover - Store Update - The Triumph Set - Store Redesign ##### **Solo, Duo, and Trio Matchmaking** Following your feedback on the Matchmaking survey published in May, we have implemented one of the most requested matchmaking features: **We now track your playstyle separately for Solo, Duo, and Trio rounds, and match you accordingly.** Say you are a friendly solo player, but your two squadmates always want to dominate in trios PvP. Before, being friendly solo could push you into more cooperative trio rounds, and playing PvP-focused in a trio could push you into more PvP-focused solo rounds - so changing squad size meant matchmaking took a bit to adjust. Now, there's no overlap. You'll be able to go from friendly questing and plant-picking in Solo rounds to adrenaline-fueled PvP Trio games (if that's how you usually play in those respective cases), by simply changing your squad size. The same holds for Duo - all three are tracked on their own. ##### **ARC Raiders & THE FINALS Crossover** Complete a set of Contracts in THE FINALS and unlock the Azimuth outfit and Archeologist backpack bundle in ARC Raiders. Inspired by explorers, Raiders, and Contestants who dare to chase new horizons beyond the stratosphere. This promotion is available from July 9th 3pm CEST until July 30th 3pm CEST before we flip it around, letting you earn the Azimuth bundle in THE FINALS by playing ARC Raiders. See you in the Arena... and The Rust Belt! ##### **Bug Fixes & Content Updates** **ARC** - Significantly increased the value of loot dropped by ARC Turbines. - **Dev note:** We've heard your feedback that the ARC Turbine's loot was too low compared to the high effort required to take one down and we agree. That’s why we’ve decided to significantly increase the amount of loot from the ARC Turbine. Happy hunting! - Fixed an issue where the ARC Turbine would sometimes disappear right after spawning in. - Knockback from Queen & Matriarch stomps will no longer go through walls. **Cosmetic** - Fixed a clipping issue for the Marco Outfit. - Fixed an issue where the Bog Walker Set was missing new colour variants. - Over the next few days, we will be issuing refunds to those of you who paid additional Raider Tokens to unlock the new colors. This should be an automated process, and does not require you to do anything. **Items** - Weapons dropped on the ground now display their installed mods. - ARC Turbine parts will no longer drop from Couriers. - Higher-value items will now show up on the shelf in the Raider Den, even if you have large stacks of lower-value items that add up to a higher total value than the individual item. **Maps** - Fixed various spots where players could get stuck or clip through the terrain. - Fixed several locations where players fell through the terrain on The Dam close to spawn bunkers. **Quests** - Fixed an issue where the Quests tab could loop back to the 'Done' screen after claiming a reward and pressing ESC, preventing selection of a new quest. **Social** - The Emote Wheel now updates availability while open, making it clearer when an emote can be used. **UI** - Fixed some German localization issues. - Improved the Feeding Rewards section in the Scrappy Nest by removing the empty p _[Truncated at 4000 characters — full notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1808500/view/708902764859621406]_
