Arc Raiders patch 1.24.0 went live on April 14, 2026, across all platforms. The update is a smaller one from Embark Studios, focused mostly on bug fixes. But one of those bugs was a real problem, so let’s get into it.
The most reported issue heading into this patch was a visual bug with the Vanguard Set. When players equipped the cosmetic, it caused model stretching that was visible to other players in-game. Embark has now fixed it.
It was a cosmetic issue rather than a gameplay-breaking one, but it made the Vanguard Set practically unusable in public. That’s now resolved.
The update addresses several issues that could cause the game to crash. The patch notes don’t go into specific details on what triggered those crashes, but the fix applies to multiple problems at once.
If you’ve been hitting random crashes lately, this Arc Raiders patch should help. Let’s check out the full patch notes.
