5/12 Update

Not really an update but

Raiders!

There’s a new store rotation going live right now introducing The Castaway Set - please restart the game or click the thing to start the update!

The Third Expedition is underway, and the third and final update to the Patchwork outfit is available to all who departed in their Caravans.
Good luck to those who are starting out on new adventures in the Rust Belt, go get those Blueprints, Raiders!

The team is aware of an issue causing some expeditioners to be missing skill points after departing. While we have managed to solve the issue, we are still tracking down the remaining accounts affected and will be granting skill points in the following days.

A massive thank you to Dusty, Oscar, and Flow for holding the fort while I was away - you’re the best! <:arclove:1365326555903164436>
I’m also super excited to announce that <@209008924068675585> is joining the Embark team as our new Community Operator! Here is a little intro: “Hello there Raiders. Don't shoot! I'll be helping Ossen with everything throughout the Rust Belt, so I'll see you around. Don't hesitate to say hi or tell me about your adventures Topside! I love a good story.”

See you topside,
//Ossen

Raiders!

Patch 1.27.0 is rolling out right now, so please restart your game to download it. 
Thank you for your constructive feedback following Riven Tides’ release. We're already exploring balancing adjustments to improve upon the changes introduced with Riven Tides. We want to make sure we get this right. When we’re ready, you’ll get all the details. In the meantime, enjoy Riven Tides and get those merits! 
You’ll find the Corsaro Set & the Mutton Chops facial hair bundle in the store and the fixes below:

ARC

Fixed Turbine attacks not being visible from far away.
Players can now drop their carryable and fight off Ticks when they are attacked while carrying something.
Adjusted visibility on proximity mines deployed from the Turbine.  
Improved the quality of Turbine landing behaviour to mitigate instances of poor landing zone selection, such as treetops.

AUDIO 

Fixed an issue that caused game sounds to be quieted by the Turbine’s sound effects.
Increased the distance from which a Turbine can be heard.
Fixed an issue where vegetation-heavy areas on Riven Tides lacked audio feedback when moving or shooting. 
Fixed audio and animation issues when trying to very quickly use items. 

COSMETICS 

Updated Howdy emote so it’s available while sprinting.
The Rachetta outfit’s colors are now more accurate.

MAPS 

RIVEN TIDES

Fixed the “Field Depot” POI not counting for the “Off the Radar” quest.
Fixed several floating and buried fruit baskets. 
Fixed a spot where players could fall through the floor.

STELLA MONTIS 

Fixed missing collision on wall that allowed ARC and players to shoot through it.

UTILITY

TRIGGER ‘NADES

Fixed a recently introduced bug that allowed players to trigger the grenades instantly when thrown.

PROGRESSION

Fixed the information in the Late Departure window so it accurately displays the Catch Up Rewards.
