ARC Raiders Hotfix 1.7.2 Tweaks Cold Snap Without Killing the Grind

[AIcash]

Embark Studios has rolled out ARC Raiders update 1.7.2, a small but impactful patch following the Cold Snap content drop. The headline change is a reduction in Blueprint spawn rates, though the developer stresses availability remains better than before the latest update.

Beyond loot tweaks, the hotfix re-enables the Hidden Bunker map modifier, fixes interaction issues tied to poor connections, and resolves a bug blocking progress on the Unexpected Initiative quest. Cold damage inconsistencies indoors have also been cleaned up.

It’s a quality-of-life-focused patch aimed at stabilizing the Cold Snap experience.
