Overview
- Embark Studios’ Flashpoint patch 1.22.0 went live Tuesday, adding the March content drop to the live game.
- Close Scrutiny debuts as an ARC Operation that reduces general loot but spawns guarded Assessor machines that pay out rare rewards, including the Dolabra blueprint.
- Matchmaking now favors players who bring custom loadouts for placement on fresh servers, which cuts down on frustrating late spawns into picked‑clean maps.
- Crafting is streamlined so missing parts can be recycled, refined, or purchased in a single window, and locked rooms now pay more based on key rarity.
- Combat escalates with the new flying Vaporizer enemy and Shredders spreading beyond Stella Montis, while players get new tools in the Dolabra shotgun, Canto SMG, and Surge Coil deployable, plus broad fixes and new cosmetics.
