ARC Raiders 1.39 Tests a Matchmaking Rule Players Can Actually Feel
ARC Raiders 1.39.0 begins a live test where defensive PvP no longer affects a player's matchmaking playstyle estimate. It also fixes inconsistent Seeker and Wolfpack damage, lets recent trinkets stack, improves Projects, and keeps a limited crossover reward window open through July 30.
- During the test, fights initiated by another squad no longer affect the defending squad's playstyle estimate.
- The first squad to damage, down, or knock out a member is treated as the initiator; third-party entrants also count as initiators.
- Fixes inconsistent Seeker and Wolfpack Grenade damage and allows Converging Paths trinkets to stack.
