Ignite Your Curiosity with Arc Raiders' Red-Hot Update!
This week, Embark Studios turned up the heat with Arc Raiders' update 1.4.0, and it’s causing sparks in the gaming world! Known for their innovative twists, the devs have unleashed a *scorching* solution to the notorious locked room exploit, and players are absolutely fired up about it!
When the update dropped, curious gamers couldn't resist sneaking into those locked rooms, only to be met with the "very hot fix" Embark promised. In an epic clip shared by redditor Forward_Problem_7550, explorers were transformed into blazing fireballs upon entry!
The community reaction? Positively electric! Gleeful players are celebrating the chaos unleashed upon those audacious enough to exploit the game. "The 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!" cheered A_Tortured_Crab. Echoing the excitement, vedomedo added, "It's genuinely a really good fix. Hopefully, this is the mindset they keep going forward. Punish the exploiters and reward legit players."
This fiery feature isn’t just making players think twice about glitching—the allure of seeing "some dingus who hasn't read the patch notes" is encouraging many to use their keys the right way! While technically not a 'fix', it’s a genius deterrent. Essential players are learning to play fair—or feel the burn!
Maverixk_ chimed in with a spicy suggestion: “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.” Points for stealth!
What's in the Rest of the Update?
But wait—there's more! The 1.4.0 patch didn't stop at blazing surprises. They've squashed the gun quick swap exploit and made waves with other tweaks, including:
- Locked room exploit mitigation mechanisms splashed across all maps.
- The exterior access to Spaceport's Control Tower locked room is now a thing of the past.
- Improved Main Menu textures for a crisper experience.
- No more piggyback jumps! Say goodbye to players pushing each other by jumping on their backs.
- Lighting artifacts that crept in on map entries? Gone!
- Raider Voice now consistently respects your selected options—even after a restart!
Thanks to Embark, the battle against exploits just got a whole lot hotter!
