Embark Studios has released ARC Raiders Update 1.30.0, bringing a small store refresh alongside major Expedition Vault pricing adjustments. Players can now access two new Leviathan Set color variants, while the cost of higher-tier Expedition Vault levels has been significantly reduced to encourage more trading activity.
The developers also confirmed they are investigating Xbox crashes and PC FPS issues reported since Update 1.29.0. It is a relatively small update overall, but the pricing changes are likely to get plenty of attention from active players.
