ARC Raiders Update 1.30.0 Streamlines In-Game Economy and Vault Pricing
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
ARC Raiders update 1.30.0 flattens Expedition Vault costs to 200,000 Credits per tier to boost player trading, introduces new color variants for the Leviathan outfit, and refreshes vendor Ermal's weekly inventory.
Embark Studios has released patch 1.30.0 for ARC Raiders, bringing notable adjustments to the game's economy alongside fresh color variants for existing gear. While officially categorized as a store update, the patch bypasses adding entirely new microtransactions. Instead, it grants automatic access to the Midnight and Crimson Frost variants for players who already own the Leviathan outfit. Anyone looking to grab these specific color drops before they rotate out will need to log in before June 18.
The most impactful shift in this patch hits the Expedition Vault system. Embark has flattened the credit requirements across all five tiers, setting a flat rate of 200,000 Credits per tier. Previously, unlocking the final tier demanded a hefty one million credits. By making vault security far more accessible, the development team aims to spur player trade and keep the in-game economy fluid. For a feature designed to safeguard valuable loot during departures, lowering the barrier to entry makes smart community sense.
Alongside the vault changes, trader Ermal has refreshed the weekly rotation with new inventory. Players can now trade high-tier ARC parts and firearms for items like the Chap Outfit, the Can't Hear You emote, and the coveted Wolfpack blueprint. For a closer look at the full breakdown of patch notes, vendor rotations, and pricing adjustments, you can read the original reporting on Game Rant.
