Weird New ARC Raiders Exploit Has Players Building Mobile Barricades

So, I’ve been seeing some crazy stuff online with ARC Raiders lately. Players have found a way to build these moving barricades – basically, we’re using ziplines and deployable shields together. It lets you create these bulletproof walls you can carry around, either as a personal shield or a full 360-degree bubble. Honestly, they’re not super effective, but it’s a pretty wild exploit and people are having fun with it!

This is a bit unusual and difficult to explain, so we recommend watching the videos below to get a better understanding.

ARC Raiders Barricade Exploit is Pretty Hilarious

Popular streamer TheBurntPeanut recently showcased a clever exploit in the game ARC Raiders. During a livestream, his teammate, Hutch, was shown completely protected by a shield made from stacking four barricades, highlighting how the exploit works.

The player later attempted a complicated setup involving a barricade, zipline, and jolt mine to move through a hallway while using a shield to protect themselves. However, it didn’t work, and other players have made fun of the attempt, calling it useless.

This exploit is pretty easy to pull off. If you want to create a big, movable shield, you’ll need four ziplines, four deployable barricades, and a ‘depot battery’. Attach the ziplines to the battery, and then, after deploying them, carefully place a barricade onto each zipline. It might take a little adjustment to get it right.

Do that four times, and you have your shield.

The second clip from TheBurntPeanut shows the zipline trick only worked one time, resulting in a protective wall instead of a complete surround.
