ARC Raiders has only been out for a couple of weeks, but developer Embark Studios is already responding to community feedback.
In an update on the game's website, Embark has announced a couple of changes to the popular extraction shooter, and it's good news all-round.
Firstly, the game has now implemented duo matchmaking, allowing you to pair up with another player and search for other duos to play with. Here's how Embark describes the matchmaking process:
"Duo matchmaking will work like this: first, we prioritize Solos and Squads to play separately. After that, we prioritize Duos to play with other Duos, and for Trios to play with Trios. Please note that this is not a 100% guaranteed system, so you may at times run into differing constellations of players other than your own."

Secondly, starting tomorrow, 13th November, prices on cosmetics in the in-game store will be reduced in response to player feedback. Furthermore, if you've bought anything that has had its price decreased, your account will be refunded the difference in Raider Tokens.
Some skins in the game are being sold for as high as $20 or so, which is half the price of the game itself, so this seems like a positive change.
