Arc Raiders nerfs Il Toro to match its rarity

The Il Toro has long been a menace in the tight corridors of Stella Montis, where the shotgun’s one‑tap potential dominated PvP. In update 1.20.0 Embark tuned the weapon so it "performs more like a weapon of its rarity," making it less versatile without upgrades and more dependent on attachments.

Key numeric changes include pellet damage reduced from 7.5 to 7, base fire rate reduced from 43 to 38, base dispersion increased from 4.5 to 6, total reload time increased from 4.3s to 5.7s, looping reload entry increased from 0.8s to 1s, looping reload time increased from 0.5s to 0.7s, and damage loss from fall-off increased from 40% to 50%.

The reduced pellet damage, wider dispersion and increased fall-off together rein in the Il Toro’s ranged performance: you now have to get much closer to deal maximum damage, follow-up shots are harder due to the slower fire rate, and reloading from empty takes 1.4 seconds longer.
