Overview
- Patch 1.29.0, which launched Tuesday, began a wave-based rollout of Denuvo Anti-Cheat to a limited group with plans to widen after monitoring.
- Embark says it is not enabling Denuvo’s DRM and is working to keep performance hits low, pairing the tool with Anybrain’s detection.
- A new vendor, Nomadic Envoy Ermal, lets level-25 players trade rare ARC parts for stash upgrades, access to an Expedition Vault for up to five items, and weekly rotating gear.
- Following player backlash to earlier changes, several weapons now last longer, with durability boosts ranging from 18% to 54% and the Renegade rising from 175 to 269 shots.
- The update also adds The Rascal, a compact grenade launcher designed as a lighter anti-ARC sidearm with slower reloads and less predictable aim.
