Latest ARC Raiders Patch Destroys One of the Most Annoying Exploits

Embark Studios has released a new update, version 1.4.0, for ARC Raiders. While small, this update fixes several important bugs and exploits that players have been experiencing, including a particularly frustrating one that’s been around for weeks.

The 1.4.0 update is mostly about visual improvements and making the game more enjoyable, rather than adding new features. Players are really happy with these changes, even though no new content was included.

No More Locked Door Exploits in ARC Raiders

Fans are enjoying the improvements and fixes included in the ARC Raiders 1.4.0 update for the challenging extraction adventure game.

  • Exploit mitigation mechanisms have been added for all locked rooms across all maps.
  • Fixed the gun exploit that allowed you to shoot quicker than intended by swapping to a quick-use item and back.
  • The exterior access to Spaceport’s Control Tower locked room has been blocked off.
  • Fixed the issue that sometimes caused low-resolution textures in the Main Menu.
  • Fixed players being able to push each other by jumping on each other’s backs.
  • Fixed lighting artifacts that would sometimes occur upon entering maps.
  • Raider Voice now correctly respects the selected voice option after restarting the game.

Players were frustrated by a bug that let others access high-level areas without using keys, even though those keys are often one-time use and sometimes very rare. This meant legitimate players would find rooms already looted, despite having rightfully unlocked them.

We’ve added a new feature: if you try to enter a locked room without a key, your character will instantly be burned to death.

Another frustrating problem for players was a glitch with certain guns, nicknamed the ‘double pump.’ This allowed players to rapidly switch between two shotguns by quickly using a consumable item, creating an incredibly fast and powerful firing rate.

Even popular streamers were using it, and it made fighting in close quarters nearly impossible to win.

This small update fixes that issue and is available for download and installation on all platforms immediately.
