The Trigger 'Nade and Kettle won't be quite as formidable after the latest update for Arc Raiders. Arc Raiders is getting a very short update in the middle of January, but it's one that was needed to nerf the power of two weapons: the Trigger 'Nade and Kettle. Embark Studios acknowledged the issues with both when laying out the details for Arc Raiders' 1.11.0 update. According to Embark, the Kettle's maximum fire rate of 600 was "only realistically reachable by players using macros." In other words, it played right into the hands of cheaters who were using outside software for an unfair advantage in the game. After the update, the Kettle can only reach a maximum fire rate of 450. Similarly, Embark noted that the Trigger 'Nade was dominating PvP battles and players used it more than any other grenade in the game. The nerf for this weapon is limiting the radius of damage to the center of the explosion and increasing the time it takes to detonate to 1.5 seconds to give opposing players a chance to react when it's deployed. This was also meant to make it harder for players to use it as a "trigger-in-air" grenade. The Abyss cosmetic set is also coming to the game with this update. The description notes that "the scyring techno-eye stapled to the front of its helm might not be operational, but it's certainly intimidating." Embark acknowledged previous reports about Arc Rangers selling 12 million copies and celebrated by giving all players who joined before January 13 the "Gilded Pickaxe Raider Tool." Additionally, Embark has promised to introduce more anti-cheat measures to Arc Raiders in the near future. The complete notes for Arc Raiders' January Update 1.11.0 are included below.
