Overview
- Update 1.36.0, which landed Tuesday, changes Arc Raiders' hidden aggression system so Solo, Duo and Trio playstyles are tracked and matched separately rather than using a single shared rating.
- The change means a player who plays peacefully when solo but aggressively in a trio will no longer have those behaviors bleed into the other modes, letting people switch squad size and get the matching experience they expect.
- Embark completed its Denuvo anti‑cheat rollout in the same patch and says it continues enforcement against cheaters and duplication exploits while working on more duplication fixes.
- Patch 1.36.0 also raises ARC Turbine loot value and fixes an issue where turbines could vanish after spawning, and the studio is exploring broader application of the 'No Free Loadout' rule to more map conditions.
- Arc Raiders still posts solid daily PC peaks (about 40,000–50,000 concurrent players by SteamDB) and Embark presents these iterative fixes as retention measures leading into the larger 'Frozen Trail' update planned for October.
