  19-05-2026 23:17 via gamesradar.com
  
  It didn't take long for Arc Raiders players to work out that the Survivor augment, which provides a comfy combination of shield options, inventory space, weight limit, and quick-use slots, is fantastic in basically every situation. That hasn't really changed since the game launched despite the introduction of other high-end augments (which do have use cases!), so developer Embark Studios has directly buffed a few options to help freshen up loadouts.

  Modern entertainment is surprisingly nostalgic, and occasionally cynical. I keep getting pelted from every angle with movie sequels that are 20 years late, TV show reboots after decades on hiatus, and surprising video game revivals like Nintendo's upcoming Star Fox 64 remake and rumored Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake. Reaching into the well is almost always guaranteed to make a company some money, former Nintendo marketing leads Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang agree in a new video, and Nintendo, in par
