Arc Raiders reveals it’s been successfully targeting item duplication exploits as the percentage of players with ‘unusually high profit per minute’ drops below 1% for the first time in months

PC Gamer · 5 hours ago

Arc Raiders has been plagued by creative player exploits allowing item duplication, ranging from massive resource hauls to unusual workarounds using game mechanics. Developer Embark Studios has confirmed it maintains ongoing efforts to identify and patch these exploits whilst monitoring the overall game economy for suspicious activity.

Data shared in recent patch notes indicates these efforts are bearing fruit. A graph tracking the percentage of players with unusually high per-minute profit shows a sharp decline in recent weeks, falling below 1% for the first time in several months. Whilst the situation deteriorated noticeably in early June, likely coinciding with a specific game update, subsequent patches appear to have successfully reduced the proportion of players benefiting from duplication mechanics.

  • Arc Raiders developer Embark has been systematically fixing item duplication exploits in the game.
  • The percentage of players exhibiting unusually high earnings has dropped below 1% for the first time in months, suggesting the fixes are working.
  • A particularly severe exploit period occurred in early June but has since improved following targeted patches.
