Summary
Loot & Economy Adjustments
Raider Caches during the Hurricane map condition have been rebalanced. To prevent players from reliably extracting with 3–5 blueprints per session, the drop rate for rare blueprints has been slightly lowered. To compensate, the drop rate for high-tier materials within these caches has been increased.
Bug Fixes & Stability
This update addresses several gameplay exploits, specifically preventing players from storing weapons or active Snaphooks in their safe pockets without the required Augments. Additionally, a progression blocker for the 'Worth Your Salt' quest has been resolved, and performance optimizations have been applied to ARC units.
