Embark Studios has fixed another item-duplication exploit ("dupe") in its co-op extraction shooter Arc Raiders, the latest in a run of similar glitches that have troubled the game. Dupes let players clone valuable in-game items, which can distort the game's economy and undermine the fairness of its loot-driven progression, so the studio has been moving to shut them down as they emerge.

The article's author notes it has become difficult to keep track of how many duplication bugs have surfaced, underlining that this is a recurring issue rather than a one-off. Embark has publicly acknowledged the latest fix, continuing a pattern of the developer patching each exploit as it is discovered, though the frequency of these problems has drawn attention from the community.
