Overview
- Arc Raiders' 1.29.0 update, which arrived Tuesday, begins a limited rollout of Denuvo Anti-Cheat after months of cheating complaints.
- Embark says it will not enable Denuvo’s DRM and is aiming for minimal performance impact as it tests a small player cohort before expanding.
- The new protection runs alongside the game’s Anybrain detection to strengthen catch rates across the Rust Belt play areas.
- The patch adds the Nomadic Envoy Ermal trader for level 25 players with stash upgrades, an Expedition Vault to carry up to five items between runs, and weekly rotating trades.
- Players also get the Rascal grenade launcher plus broad balance, durability, and bug fixes, and early community reaction has been strongly positive.
