ARC Raiders Players Furious After Exploit Returns Just Days After Being Patched

by

Players of ARC Raiders are asking Embark Studios for a quick fix after discovering a way to duplicate items, blueprints, and other in-game resources. Despite a recent update (1.12.0) claiming to resolve item duplication exploits, the issue persists. It’s unclear whether players found a new glitch or the update simply didn’t work, but the community is eager for a solution.

Embark’s ARC Raiders has been a major success, attracting a large player base on Steam, winning the 2025 Game Award for Best Multiplayer Game, and selling over 12 million copies quickly. However, the game has faced some challenges. While updates like the Stella Montis map were popular, they also contained glitches that players exploited to gain an unfair advantage. This issue lasted for weeks and required several fixes from Embark. Now, the game is experiencing a similar problem with a duplication exploit that continues to occur even after multiple updates.

ARC Raiders Players Are Still Finding Ways to Duplicate Items

Embark Studios recently released update 1.12.0 for ARC Raiders, focusing on fixing bugs rather than adding new content. One key fix addressed an exploit that let players unfairly duplicate items and ammunition. However, the issue hasn’t been fully resolved. Players are now reporting a new glitch that allows for the duplication of blueprints, with one Reddit user sharing a screenshot showing 17 Tempest Blueprints. The community is concerned this exploit will negatively impact the game if left unfixed, potentially ruining the experience for everyone and creating an unbalanced game environment with duplicated gear. They’re urging the developers to address the problem quickly.

Players aren’t just copying blueprints; some are also duplicating rare items, like a special version of the Rubber Duck. These unique Rubber Ducks were recently added with the ARC Raiders Headwinds update, which also introduced a new map feature called Bird City. The event includes many new Rubber Ducks, and because the ‘Familiar Rubber Duck’ is worth $7,000 in game currency, players can potentially earn millions by selling a full inventory.

Okay, so as of today, Embark still hasn’t officially said anything about that frustrating duplication glitch in ARC Raiders. It’s a little worrying, but honestly, they’ve been really good about fixing things quickly lately. Remember when the Headwinds update messed up the Kettle and Venator? They rolled out a hotfix within 24 hours! That gives me some hope that they’re already onto this duplication issue and working hard to resolve it, even if it takes a bit longer. I’m staying optimistic!

Okay, so as a big fan of ARC Raiders, I’m a little bummed about the latest update. It feels like they missed the mark a bit. A lot of us can’t even try out the new Bird City map because of when the event started, which is frustrating. But honestly, the biggest head-scratcher is the 1v3 matchmaking. We’ve been asking for more challenging, high-value raids for ages, and this just… isn’t that. It feels like Embark added something nobody actually wanted, and it’s left a lot of us wondering why they went in that direction.
