### 🔫 Two New Weapons

The **Canto** is a rare SMG ideal for close-quarters combat against ARC threats, while the **Dolabra** is the game’s first legendary energy shotgun, capable of shredding ARC armor at close range.

### 🗺️ New Map Condition: ARC Operation – Close Scrutiny

Loot is scarce, ARC patrols are heavy, and a massive new probe called **Assessor** has landed — but the rewards inside are described as highly lucrative. Risk vs. reward at its finest.

### 🐓 Feed Scrappy for Better Loot

You can now feed items like Lemons and Apricots to **Scrappy**, boosting the loot the rooster collects and increasing the value of items dropped over time.

### 🛠️ Crafting Gets Smarter

The crafting system now lets you recycle, refine, or purchase required materials all within a **single window**, eliminating the need to juggle multiple tabs. [Testbook](https://testbook.com/news/ctet-february-result-2026-check-question-paper-pdf/)
