Arc Raiders 1.4.0 Update: The Fiery Deterrent Blazing Through Locked Room Cheaters!
Hold onto your keyboards, Raiders! Embark Studios just dropped the electrifying update 1.4.0 for Arc Raiders, and it's bringing the heat—literally! The devs weren't just teasing when they promised a 'very hot fix' for the notorious locked room exploits, and players wasted no time diving into the action. But this time, trying to glitch your way inside isn't just a walk in the park; it's a trip straight to the fiery pits!
A daring endeavor by redditor Forward_Problem_7550 reveals that our beloved locked rooms now serve up a scorching surprise! Utilize the glitch, and you'll transform into a blazing fireball! Talk about getting burned! Don't just take our word for it; check out the explosive clip below.
Community reactions are red hot, matching the fix's intensity. Players are thrilled with Embark's creative approach. A_Tortured_Crab chuckled, "Best part of this is the clowns doing the glitch lose all their stuff to someone who legitimately opens the door with a key. CLASSIC!" Meanwhile, vedomedo praised, "It's genuinely a really good fix. Hopefully, this is the mindset they keep going forward. Punish the exploiters and reward legit players."
Many players now see those locked doors under a new light, pocketing keys in hopes of scoring sweet loot from an oblivious exploiters' fiery departure. Sure, the trickeration still technically works, but once crispy, twice shy, right?
Over at Embark HQ, Maverixk_ cheekily suggested, "Would’ve been better if they just didn’t say anything and rolled this out. Imagine all the door glitches finding this out and losing all of their s**t before word of mouth spread. Would’ve been hilarious." Oh, what could have been!
This update isn’t all about flame-grilled intruders though. Some other key fixes in the patch include squashing the quick-swap gun exploit and tidying up pesky menus. Read the full Arc Raiders Patch Notes 1.4.0 below:
