Arc Raiders fixes closed door exploit
The 1.4.0 update. by Arc Raiders Now available on all platformsand comes to correct an exploit that was hindering the excitement of the game.
We refer to the “door trick”for which it was not necessary to have a key card to enter the rooms with withdrawals.
The method (which no longer works) was to approach a closed door from a specific angle. Then, the player could enter and activate the exit buttonto escape with the loot (or let your companions in).
The “cool” players rightly pointed out that These cheaters ruined the fun of Arc Raiders. They asked for them to be banned, but it will no longer be necessary.
The patch also fixes other serious issues. These are all the improvements it introduces:
- Added exploit mitigation mechanisms for all locked rooms on all maps.
- Fixed weapon exploit that allowed you to fire faster than intended when switching to a quick-use item and vice versa.
- External access to the Control Tower’s locked room at the Spaceport has been blocked.
- Fixed issue that sometimes caused low resolution textures in the main menu.
- Fixed a bug that allowed players to push each other when jumping on each other’s backs. Fixed lighting artifacts that sometimes occurred when entering maps.
- The Raiders’ voice now correctly respects the voice option selected after restarting the game.
As the notes indicate, another exploit was also fixed, which allowed the shotgun to fire fasterby exchanging it for a quick access item.
At Embark Studios they are aware that they need to keep the Arc Raiders active; That’s why they were so quick to prepare the update..
The patch is part of the Arc Raiders roadmap, plans that will be expanded in 2026 with more maps, events, missions and all kinds of additional content.
