Embark Studios has released ARC Raiders update 1.4.0 on November 27, now available across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. While the update is relatively small, it tackles two of the most disruptive exploits players have been dealing with throughout the month—changes that the community has been eagerly awaiting.
A Rapidly Growing Success
ARC Raiders has enjoyed a massive surge in popularity, reaching over 481,000 concurrent Steam players, an impressive feat considering its launch window alongside giants like Battlefield 6 and Black Ops 7. Its blend of extraction gameplay, unique ARC enemies, and active community support has positioned it as one of the standout releases of the year.
Locked Door Exploit Finally Addressed
The headline fix in update 1.4.0 is the mitigation of the locked door exploit, one of the game’s most controversial issues. Previously, players could glitch into locked rooms—most commonly by having another player shove them through the door collision—to loot high-value items without using keys.
Now, entering a locked room illegitimately triggers an instant-death flame trap, effectively ending the exploit while still allowing normal access through intended methods. This ensures a fairer, more consistent extraction experience for all players.
Another Major Exploit Shut Down
The update also fixes a widespread exploit involving the Il Toro shotgun, which allowed players to bypass its reload animation by swapping to Quick Use items between shots. The glitch made the weapon fire far faster than intended, offering a major advantage in PvP encounters. Update 1.4.0 removes this unintended behavior.
Other Improvements
Additional fixes in this update include improvements to textures, lighting, voice options, and blocked-off map geometry to prevent unintended access.
