Arc Raiders update rips out one of the game's most maddening puzzles

Guitars present sold astatine Shani's

Arc Raiders has a caller Headwinds crippled update that, amongst galore different things, removes an extravagantly drawn-out puzzle from the game’s Buried City map. Introduced successful December, the puzzle successful question saw radical tracking down and pushing 15 buttons successful a definite bid to unlock a concealed enclosure containing an actual, strummable guitar. As of this updating, you’ll present beryllium capable to bargain that guitar astatine Shani’s, similar a millionaire tourer paying to beryllium flown to the apical of Mount Everest.

I respect this arsenic a dilution of the game, connected paper, but I americium not 1 of the players who’ve driven themselves crackers trying to get clasp of the instrumentality (or paying existent wealth for the conflict walk to unlock it). Arc Raiders is simply a multiplayer game, of course, truthful adjacent if you past being changeable astatine portion stampeding betwixt buttons, it’s imaginable another, distant subordinate mightiness innocently property 1 and reset your progress.

I truly similar multiplayer puzzles, successful general, particularly erstwhile the crippled isn’t truly designed for this benignant of trickery. It’s hard capable lugging loot backmost to the elevator successful Arc without getting a bellyful of bullets. One tin lone ideate the feats of cunning required to way down a clump of buttons successful parallel. One tin lone ideate the elation of bringing location the prize.

Still, reactions to the tweak connected Reddit are mostly a substance of contempt and relief. As 1 idiosyncratic points out, adjacent if you unearth the guitar, there’s nary warrant you’ll person capable clip to extract. Perhaps turning the guitar into a purchaseable point was each portion of Embark's plan, aft milking assemblage desperation for a fewer weeks? It is a precise bully guitar. You tin play up to 7 tunes with it. The trouble of obtaining the happening whitethorn explicate wherefore truthful galore wasteland buskers are getting changeable successful the head.

Read much astir this and different Raider concern successful the afloat changelog. The devs person “fixed the Seedvault extraction glitch connected Stella Montis that allowed players to stay successful the extraction constituent aft it had closed”. They’re besides successful the process of implementing a 3 strikes progressive prohibition strategy for cheaters, with bans progressing “from 30 days, to 60 and yet a permaban for repetition offenders”.

Any palmy examples of puzzles successful multiplayer shooters to share? I conjecture the evident ones to bushed are inactive Destiny’s Raids, hashtag Vault Of Glass. There’s astir apt immoderate bully worldly successful definite editions of Fortnite, but I forget.
