Embark Studios has reworked the crafting system in Arc Raiders following player feedback about time spent gathering materials. The developer introduced a new 'Acquire Resources' button to simplify the process. The team described the changes as just the start of further improvements.
Embark Studios announced updates to Arc Raiders' crafting system in a blog post published over the weekend. The developer acknowledged that players repeatedly cited spending too much time crafting as a major pain point, particularly the frustration of jumping through multiple screens to recycle items or find missing materials. 'One of the things we care most about as a development team is making sure every moment you spend in Arc Raiders feels purposeful,' the studio wrote. 'Your time matters, and we don't want you spending it clicking through menus when you could be out raiding.'
