Ahead of a balance patch currently planned for Tuesday, January 13, Arc Raiders design lead Virgil Watkins of developer Embark offered a preview of changes being applied to two balance outliers: the Kettle rifle and Trigger Nades.

Speaking with GamesRadar+ as part of a forthcoming wide-ranging interview, Watkins discusses the balance of power and value among Arc Raiders' gear tiers.
