"Using a keycard to access one of these rooms ties into the high-risk, high-reward nature of Arc Raiders, but the exploit essentially bypasses it. Players managed to break into the room, grab valuable gear without worrying about being ambushed, and pick the location clean. This meant that players who unlocked the room properly would find it stripped bare, leading to frustration within the Arc Raiders community."
"Arc Raiders players recently discovered an exploit that allowed them to loot locked rooms without needing a keycard. Naturally, the exploit quickly became popular--and frustrating for players who didn't use it--leading Embark Studios to apply a "hot" fix to this part of the game. If you now decide to cheese your way into one of these treasure rooms, you can now expect a toasty reception inside."
Players discovered an exploit allowing looting locked rooms without keycards, bypassing intended high-risk, high-reward mechanics. Exploit users broke into rooms, grabbed gear without ambush risk, and stripped locations empty. Legitimate players who used keycards often found emptied rooms, causing community frustration. Embark Studios deployed a hotfix that causes rooms to automatically activate flamethrowers when accessed via the glitch. Glitched players were often caught inside and killed, while keycard users found intact loot and a cremated intruder. Arc Raiders sold millions of copies and reached a 481,966 Steam peak. Embark Studios continues regular updates and balance changes.
