ARC Raiders Player Discovers Easy Way to Spot Enemies Hiding in Bushes

by

A player in ARC Raiders discovered a useful tip for finding enemies hidden in bushes and dense plants: repeatedly pressing the ping button. It’s currently unknown whether this is a deliberate part of the game or if the developers will change it in a future update. The community is split on whether this makes it harder for players who prefer to hide while waiting for the escape elevator.

Players of ARC Raiders have noticed a strange issue with how foliage appears in the game, and it’s happened again this month. Lowering the graphics settings on PC seems to give players an unfair advantage because it makes bushes and other plants disappear for those with lower settings. This means someone could be hiding in cover, but appear completely exposed to an enemy who has turned their graphics down. It’s a problem because the game handles this visually on each player’s computer, not on the server. Players are asking the developers to fix this, and now a new issue may be emerging within the game’s community.

ARC Raiders Players Can Ping Enemies Hiding In Bushes

A player has found a way to locate enemies hidden in bushes without actually seeing them. While not a major glitch, repeatedly using the ‘ping’ button on a suspected hiding spot will eventually reveal the enemy’s location with a red marker. This works by exploiting the ping system, which is normally used to communicate enemy positions to teammates, allowing players to find opponents they wouldn’t have otherwise detected. It’s currently unknown whether this behavior is intentional by the game developers.

It’s not known if this was intentional, but a recent discovery offers a clever solution to a frustrating problem in ARC Raiders: players camping at extraction points. Many fans have complained about players who skip the gameplay and instead wait at extraction zones to ambush others who have actually been collecting loot. Now, players have found they can use pings to see enemies even through bushes, which should make it much harder for campers to succeed.

The community has had a varied reaction to this finding. Some players think it’s a useful way to identify campers, while others want the game to be updated to address it. A common point of contention is that the player in the video seemed to shoot someone who wasn’t actively camping, but just waiting for the extraction elevator. Since many extraction zones are open areas, using bushes for cover is a smart way to avoid being eliminated by an enemy or an automated defense system. Although player-versus-player combat is a feature of ARC Raiders, some feel it was unfair to eliminate a player who was simply trying to finish the match.

Like many popular online games, ARC Raiders has had its share of problems, including glitches and exploits. The developers at Embark have been consistently releasing updates to fix these issues quickly. A recent update tackled a serious exploit that let players break into locked rooms and steal valuable items, which spoiled the game for legitimate players. While it’s still possible to glitch into these rooms, the new update now punishes players who do so by setting them on fire.
