Embark on your missions in stealthier fashion within Arc Raiders, the upcoming free-to-play cooperative shooter from The Division studio The Division. A new feature now allows players to turn off their character's backpack light, offering a tactical advantage for those aiming to remain unseen.
This addition addresses a long-standing request from the game's community, who found the persistent backpack illumination to be a potential liability when trying to adopt a stealthy approach. The ability to disable the light is expected to enhance the gameplay experience for players who prefer a more cautious or covert style of play. While details on how the feature is implemented remain sparse, its existence suggests a focus on player choice and tactical depth within Arc Raiders' design.
The backpack light toggle is one of several gameplay adjustments and features being refined as the game approaches its eventual release. Arc Raiders is being developed by Nexon's Stockholm-based studio, Embark Studios, and aims to offer a unique take on the cooperative shooter genre with its blend of high-octane action and strategic elements.
