Embark continues to punish players who take advantage of ARC Raiders’ bugs, and this time, they’re finally dealing with the notorious ‘Door Glitchers.’
In ARC Raiders’ latest 1.4.0 update, players who keep exploiting security doors without keycards are going to feel the heat of a thousand suns. Embark added a failsafe to deter these crafty Raiders, and players who attempts to do the glitch now will be sent to their early graves. Their last memory is being burned alive like a body from an incinerator.
For context, ARC Raiders has a special ‘loot cave’ feature that can only be unlocked using the right keycard. However, players found ways to glitch themselves behind the locked door, forcing them to clip through it and take all the treasures without risking a key.
This made Embark angry, so they had to come up with a creative way to deal with these cheating Raiders. The patch notes only stated that “Exploit mitigation mechanisms have been added for all locked rooms across all maps.” No one knows what the “exploit mitigation” thing means, so players had to find it out their own way.
What Embark did was completely unexpected: they didn’t fix the glitched doors, but only added a portal to hell, where a myriad of Fireball sprays will melt any Raider attempting to get a quick and easy loot.

Players are already posting their results on social media, notably X and Reddit. They are warning players not to do the glitch anymore; otherwise, they can kiss their hard-earned loot goodbye.
Embark fixing the 1.4.0 door exploit is actually a good thing. Before the patch was deployed, players were clearly taking advantage of this situation. Embark’s delayed response to this game-breaking glitch emboldened more players to enter locked doors without finding keycards. Now, finding them is as essential as finding a Wolfpack blueprint.
We will now see an influx of player trading with keycards as a luxury item. Epic-coded ones will be as lucrative, but the uncommon and common ones are still viable.
Now, players beg Embark to at least buff the loot pool inside these locked doors; otherwise, there’d be no point for players to risk themselves entering a highly contested area with barely any meaningful rewards.
The 1.4.0 update not only fixed the door glitch exploit, but it also addressed some of the community's lingering concerns, like the gun exploit that allows players to shooter quicker by hot-swapping to a quick use item.
Embark is still hard at work with ARC Raiders’ upcoming content, which drops sometime this December. According to their roadmap, maps will be covered in snow.
