Discover the Truth in Flashpoint Update

The Flashpoint update arrives on March 31st, bringing major changes to Speranza and the Rust Belt. Filmogaz.com reports new ARC threats, gear, and quality-of-life upgrades for Raiders.

New ARC Operation: Close Scrutiny

A massive probe-like craft has made a controlled landing near operation zones. Celeste calls it the ARC Assessor and wants to know its purpose.

ARC patrols escort the Assessor. Map loot is reduced, but the Assessor may hold rare salvage. Raiders are advised to prepare for a heavy fight.

Vaporizer: A New Aerial Threat

A flying ARC variant named the Vaporizer now stalks operation perimeters. It uses powerful laser strikes and unpredictable attack patterns.

Scouts report the Vaporizer as especially dangerous in the skies above Close Scrutiny. Adapting tactics will be crucial.

Weapons, Gadgets, and Blueprints

Tian Wen has been working in secret on new weapon blueprints. Raiders must locate these plans to craft the new gear.

• Canto — A compact submachine gun that uses medium ammo. Effective in close quarters against ARC and Raiders.
• Dolabra — An energy shotgun with a variable focus. It can deliver wide bursts or a concentrated electrical funnel.
• Surge Coil — A deployable device that intermittently electrifies its area. Useful for area denial and defense.

The Dolabra blueprint is most likely found during the Close Scrutiny ARC operation. Players should prioritize runs there.

High Gain Antenna Project

Celeste and Shani have launched a resource hunt to build a High Gain Antenna. They seek to track the strange objects seen during the hurricane.

Raiders who contribute materials will receive rewards. The antenna aims to reveal where the skyborne shapes are headed.

Companion and Crafting Improvements

Scrappy receives a Feeding Boost that expands the loot types it brings back. Feeding specific items increases the quality of its drops.

Crafting now shows missing materials and sources in a single window. Players can recycle, refine, or purchase needed components without swapping tabs.

Spreading Shredders and Map Alerts

Shredders have been sighted across multiple zones. Reports place them at Blue Gate, Buried City, Spaceport, and Dam Battlegrounds.

Stella Montis doors were reportedly left open, allowing the floating menace to spread during map conditions. Stay vigilant on affected maps.

New Bundle and Seasonal Cosmetics

The Wasp Hunter Set is available now on all platforms. The bundle includes four colorways, a White Diver Backpack, a new Scrappy Helmet, the Thruster Hammer Raider Tool, and 2400 Raider Tokens.

Additional outfits will roll out in April. The Brigade Set channels centurion style, the Vanguard Set suits riot scenarios, and the Nascosto Set favors stealth operations.

Players can discover the truth behind the skyborne incursions in this Flashpoint update. Prepare loadouts and coordinate runs to tackle Close Scrutiny and its new challenges.
