A major update for Arc Raiders was recently released, and now hotfix 1.13.1 has been deployed.
Embark Studios noticed that an error occurred which changed the rate of fire for several weapon models:
Following yesterday's update, some weapons were affected by a bug that reduced their rate of fire. This was not an intentional change. We always strive to list all changes in the patch notes and thank you for bringing this to our attention so quickly.
The display of cosmetic content in the personalization menu has also been fixed.
The developers noted that they hear the community's feedback regarding the slow appearance of loot:
We have heard your complaints that loot appears too slowly. We have reworked the spawn speed of the first item when searching. Players with the "Looter’s Instincts" talent unlocked will still see loot earlier than those who do not have it.
