The first hotfix since Arc Raiders’ 1.36 update has rocked up, and while it may be small it does tackle some important issues, namely a new duplication exploit which has popped up recently and saw mountains of explosives spawn even faster than the throwables glitch.
“We have just pushed a hotfix on all platforms to mitigate a duplication issue, an official blog post explains. “As we stated before regarding the use of exploits, we will continue issuing bans on accounts that have been gaining significant advantage.”
All’s well that ends well, right? If only it could be so easy. Like most things that happen on the internet, this hasn’t satiated all players, as some question why Embark can fix this glitch but not one that is seen to be considerably worse.
“This hotfix proves embark can respond overnight, so why is weapon duping still here?” player Loose_Fish5725 asks. “A dupe that literally anyone could abuse gets discovered, spreads like wildfire, and gets patched in less than 24 hours. Meanwhile, we’ve had duplicated Bobcats and weapons circulating for weeks. Entire kits are being duplicated, sold, and recycled, destroying the economy, yet that’s somehow a lower priority?”
