Hot Fix for Arc Raiders Turns Cheaters into Barbecue

Flamethrower Traps Deter Cheaters in Arc Raiders' Loot Rooms Update

Embark Studios has updated Arc Raiders (version 1.4.0) to address a glitch that allowed players to enter locked rooms without using keycards. While it's still possible to bypass the intended entry using glitches, doing so now triggers deadly flamethrower traps. The game's updated anticheat system ensures that unauthorized players are slowly roasted until they die. This update also eliminates the "double pump" mechanic, which allowed players to fire weapons faster by rapidly swapping between weapons and items. Additionally, players can no longer jump on each other's backs to gain a movement advantage, and external access to the Control Tower locked room on the Spaceport map has been removed. Locked rooms are relatively rare and require keycards. These rooms contain high-value loot, but acquiring keycards can be risky, as other players may try to kill those searching for them or attempting to extract the loot. Players who open these rooms legitimately with a keycard not only gain access to the loot but may also find the charred remains of any players who attempted to enter illicitly. The appearance of Arc Raiders in South Park signals the game's growing recognition.
