Something I love about videogames is the way that a single line of patch notes can have a disproportionate butterfly effect on millions of sessions. This little sentence, part of today's Shrouded Sky update, will alter the fate and behavior of countless raiders:

The Wolfpack is Arc Raiders' most valuable grenade—a get-out-of-trouble-now ripcord that one-shots or cripples the most troublesome Arc, has good range, and locks onto targets automatically. It's a prized throwable for Matriarch and Queen raids and already something you're happy to find when looting.
