‘Shrouded Sky’ Goes Live in ARC Raiders With Hurricanes and New Enemies as Embark Holds Line on Nerfs

The studio says it will monitor telemetry following player backlash over weapon tuning and tougher Wolfpack crafting.

Overview

  • The Hurricane condition now rotates across Blue Gate, Buried City, Spaceport and Dam Battlegrounds, reducing visibility, buffeting movement with headwinds and tailwinds, draining shields and altering thrown projectiles.
  • Two ARC types join topside: Firefly, an armored flamethrower drone, and Comet, a spherical hunter that locks on before detonating.
  • A five‑stage Weather Monitoring seasonal project runs February 24 to March 31, granting gameplay rewards including 250 Raider Tokens and the Anemometer charm.
  • Expedition 2 is open February 25 to March 1, offering up to five permanent Skill Points, added stash capacity and outfit upgrades with a lower stash‑value requirement.
  • Balance and economy changes include nerfs to Stitcher, Kettle and Venator, buffs to Jupiter and Aphelion, and a new Wolfpack recipe requiring a Rocketeer Driver; community admin Ossen acknowledged frustrations but said no immediate reversals are planned, with Il Toro adjustments in progress.
