ARC Raiders Gets New Patch To Punish Exploits

Developer Embark Studios has released a new patch for ARC Raiders. The update notably addresses and fixes several exploits in the game including the infamous exploit that allowed players to get into locked rooms without a key. The update sees players who try to get into rooms without a key get bombarded with flamethrowers that deal significant damage to them. According to the developer, this is a temporary fix until a permanent one is released.  ARC Raiders launched on October 30 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. In ARC Raiders, “you play as one of the Raiders, a rogue group of resistance fighters. With the help of a patchwork early warning system, you fight to protect our home against enemies dropping from orbit.”

The full details:
