Embark says ARC Raiders may revise “Locked Gate” and “Hidden Bunker” events because they’ve become camping magnets, with targeted fixes rather than full overhauls.

TL;DR

Embark says Locked Gate and Hidden Bunker may need revisions to reduce camping, but the fixes aren’t announced yet.

Key Details

Per GamesRadar, Embark’s design director said revisions are likely needed for Locked Gate and Hidden Bunker due to camping/imbalance. The approach is framed as targeted adjustments, not drastic redesigns. The comments are tied to live observation of player behavior and data post-launch. No patch timeline or exact fix list has been confirmed yet.

Breakdown

This is Embark acknowledging what players feel: some events are turning into “camp the doorway” situations where the optimal strategy is boring and brutal.

The interesting part is the phrasing — revisions, not reworks. That usually means tweaks like timing, spawn logic, objective pacing, or reward tuning rather than ripping the whole event out.

Until Embark ships specifics, this remains “directional intent”: the devs agree it’s a problem, but the solution is still in the lab.

What to Watch Next

Any testable changes in upcoming patch notes tied to these events. Whether Embark targets choke points (entries/exits) or incentives (rewards/timers). If campers migrate to the next best “hold this angle” event after changes land.

Comment

Do you want the Controlled Access Zone to be a constant PvP warzone — or should Embark design it so stealthy loot runs are actually viable?
