\/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Flashpoint is Embark&#8217;s largest end-of-month content drop so far, landing March 31 as patch 1.22.0. It touches enemies, loot systems, crafting, companions, and map conditions all in one shot rather than spreading changes across weekly patches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The narrative hook: a probe too large to be a standard ARC unit has made a controlled landing on the surface. It doesn&#8217;t move, doesn&#8217;t shoot, and shows no obvious aggression \u2014 but the patrol density surrounding it is unlike anything Raiders have faced before. Celeste calls it the Assessor. She wants to know what it&#8217;s doing. Raiders want whatever it&#8217;s holding. Two different motivations, same destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Weapons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Canto SMG<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canto is a medium ammo SMG designed for close-quarters work against both ARC and other Raiders. The medium ammo designation is the practical advantage \u2014 extended raids don&#8217;t drain rare reserves the way heavier weapons do. It handles the tunnel fights and doorway pressure that Close Scrutiny generates consistently, and holds its own at close range if another squad pushes you while you&#8217;re breaching an Assessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dolabra Energy Shotgun (Legendary)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dolabra is an energy shotgun with a variable focus mechanic \u2014 toggle between a wide electrical burst and a concentrated beam depending on what you&#8217;re fighting. Wide burst for grouped ARC like Shredders closing from multiple angles. Focused beam for stripping Assessor plating or applying sustained damage to the Vaporizer&#8217;s exposed belly core once you&#8217;ve grounded it. The blueprint drops from inside Assessors during Close Scrutiny and is a rare pull \u2014 expect to run the operation multiple times before it appears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Weapon<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Ammo Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Strengths<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Best Use Case<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Canto<\/strong><\/td><td>SMG<\/td><td>Medium Ammo<\/td><td>Ammo efficiency, consistent DPS, strong in tight spaces<\/td><td>Close-range fights, sustained raids<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Dolabra<\/strong><\/td><td>Energy Shotgun<\/td><td>Energy<\/td><td>Burst + precision modes, high damage potential<\/td><td>Assessor fights, Vaporizer core damage<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Surge Coil (New Deployable)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Surge Coil deploys and periodically electrifies its surroundings, shocking anything that drifts into range. It&#8217;s passive area denial \u2014 place it at a flank or entry point while your squad focuses on breaching an Assessor and let it handle the angle you can&#8217;t watch. Particularly useful in Close Scrutiny where tunnel vision on the objective is a consistent risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/placeholder-image.webp\" alt=\"ARC Raiders Dolabra Blueprint Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy ARC Raiders Dolabra Blueprint Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Leave the grind to us!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/arc-raiders\/boost\/dolabra\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Attachments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-16.webp\" alt=\"ARC Raiders Flashpoint Guide \u2014 Leapers, Bombardiers, Bastions &amp; New Sentinel Spawn Changes\" class=\"wp-image-38110\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-16.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-16-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-16-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Two new attachments unlock via challenges, both themed around the low-visibility environments Flashpoint introduces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Light + Laser Underbarrel Combo<\/strong> \u2014 one attachment slot gives you both an underbarrel light and a laser targeting aid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hybrid Sight<\/strong> \u2014 combines a standard red dot with a thermal scope; switch between general visibility and heat detection on demand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hybrid Sight matters most during Close Scrutiny when you&#8217;re scanning for Vaporizers through structure corners or haze before committing to an approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Attachment<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Function<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Best Scenario<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Advantage<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Light + Laser Combo<\/strong><\/td><td>Combines flashlight + laser in one slot<\/td><td>Low visibility fights<\/td><td>Saves attachment slot<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Hybrid Sight<\/strong><\/td><td>Toggle between the red dot and thermal vision<\/td><td>Close Scrutiny, Vaporizer tracking<\/td><td>Flexibility in combat<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/placeholder-image.webp\" alt=\"ARC Raiders Surge Coil Blueprint for Sale\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy ARC Raiders Surge Coil Blueprint for Sale<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Leave the grind to us!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/arc-raiders\/boost\/surge-coil\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Balance and System Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-26.webp\" alt=\"ARC Raiders Flashpoint Update \u2014 Bullet Hit Reactions, Audio Improvements &amp; Combat Changes\" class=\"wp-image-38113\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-26.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-26-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-26-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shredders on All Maps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Shredders previously only spawned on Stella Montis. They&#8217;re now added to all maps, appearing during certain map conditions on Dam Battlegrounds. If you haven&#8217;t learned how to deal with one yet, that&#8217;s no longer optional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rocketeer Collision Fix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rocketeers now take less damage from collisions and will no longer be instantly destroyed upon impact when stunned. This closes out a situation where Rocketeers were dying to their own movement physics rather than player weapons \u2014 a quiet but noticeable fix for Rocketeer encounter consistency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Firefly Spawn Rate Reduced<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reduced the chance for multiple Fireflies to spawn together. Firefly clusters had become a known frustration point \u2014 this reduces the frequency of getting swarmed by multiple flame-attack flyers simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Locked Room Loot Scales by Key Rarity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Locked room loot now delivers much better rewards depending on the rarity of the key used to open it. A rare key now reliably outperforms a common one rather than hitting the same loot table. Makes key prioritization during standard raids a real decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crafting System Improvements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When crafting, Raiders can now fulfill missing materials directly from the crafting screen without jumping between tabs. When something is missing, the game presents a list of available sources \u2014 recycle, refine, or purchase \u2014 in a single window. Faster prep between raids, less friction on the loadout side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scrappy Feeding Boost<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The companion rooster Scrappy can now be fed specific items from your stash to boost the quality of loot it retrieves during raids. It&#8217;s a light companion progression mechanic \u2014 pay attention to what you&#8217;re feeding in, and the returns improve. Ignore it, and nothing changes from before Flashpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom Loadout Server Priority<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Players who build their own loadout are now more likely to be placed into fresh servers rather than late-joining ongoing raids. Rewards engaging with the loadout system over dropping in with defaults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blue Gate Security Code Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Security codes now only drop from printers and expire upon extraction. Closes out the unintended persistence of codes across sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Change<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What Changed<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Gameplay Impact<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Shredders on All Maps<\/strong><\/td><td>No longer limited to Stella Montis<\/td><td>Increased difficulty across all maps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Rocketeer Fix<\/strong><\/td><td>No longer die from collision damage<\/td><td>More consistent enemy encounters<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Firefly Spawn Rate<\/strong><\/td><td>Reduced group spawns<\/td><td>Less overwhelming aerial pressure<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Locked Room Loot<\/strong><\/td><td>Scales with key rarity<\/td><td>Makes rare keys more valuable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Crafting UI<\/strong><\/td><td>Missing materials handled in one screen<\/td><td>Faster preparation between raids<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Scrappy Feeding<\/strong><\/td><td>Companion affects loot quality<\/td><td>Adds progression layer<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Loadout Priority<\/strong><\/td><td>Custom loadouts get fresh servers<\/td><td>Rewards prepared players<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Security Codes<\/strong><\/td><td>Drop only from printers and expire<\/td><td>Removes stockpiling advantage<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-info\">\n    <div class=\"blog-info-media\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/placeholder-image.webp\" alt=\"ARC Raiders High-Gain Antenna Project Boost\" title=\"Epiccarry\">\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"blog-info-text\">\n        <p class=\"main-text\" style=\"font-size:24px\"><strong>Buy ARC Raiders High-Gain Antenna Project Boost<\/strong><\/p>\n        <p class=\"subtext\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Leave the grind to us!<\/p>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/arc-raiders\/boost\/high-gain-antenna-project\/\" class=\"white-button\">Buy now!<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">High-Gain Antenna Community Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1071\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-19.webp\" alt=\"ARC Raiders Flashpoint Guide \u2014 Security Codes Expire, Crafting Changes &amp; HUD Improvements\" class=\"wp-image-38111\" title=\"Epiccarry\" srcset=\"https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-19.webp 1071w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-19-780x437.webp 780w, https:\/\/epiccarry.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/arc-raiders-updates-19-768x430.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1071px) 100vw, 1071px\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The High-Gain Antenna is Flashpoint&#8217;s community-driven seasonal goal.
