Among the debris of a war-torn landscape, players scoured the remnants of their efforts in Arc Raiders, the thrill of discovery hanging thick in the air. Yet, whispers of a deceptive trick began to circulate, drawing excitement and unease alike. Players grappled with the tantalizing prospect of doubling their fortunes, but the shadow of a patch loomed closer.
Does Duplicating Items Still Work in Arc Raiders?
No, you can no longer duplicate items in Arc Raiders. What was once a glitch has been stamped out with a hotfix following the 1.15.0 update by the vigilant team at Embark Studios. The echo of players shouting triumph in virtual plazas now feels bittersweet.
Curious about how it all worked? Players had harnessed the power of quick-use items, spinning a web of ingenuity while evading the designers’ eye. Here’s how it once went down:
- Gather two identical stackable items, like Familiar Ducks or Trigger Nades, into a quick-use slot.
- Open your inventory with the item still clasped in hand; this prompted the game to let you split stacks and relocate items across adjacent slots.
- Your actions could continue, creating a cascade where the game overlooked items placed in the world, resulting in duplicates.
The fallout was everywhere; extraction points overflowed with a bounty of Familiar Ducks, players raking in Raider Coins as fast as the eye could see. But that abundance came at a cost.
Thankfully, Embark Studios acted swiftly. Their hotfix addressed the glitch, and players who exploited it now face scrutiny. While some may find remorse, others can redirect their ambitions. You can rack up rewards the fair way by taking part in the ongoing Arc Raiders Sacred Watch event, introduced in the same update.
What Happened to Players Who Exploited the Glitch?
