Arc Raiders adds hilarious new feature to prevent locked room exploitation: roasting them alive with all their loot

Recent Arc Raiders The update adds a new and inventive solution to the problem of players breaking into locked rooms. If you manage to sneak into one of these places filled with valuable loot, but without using the necessary key card, you will be cooked alive.

At first it was cheekily teased in last week's patch notesdescribing it as a “very urgent fix” for locked room exploits. Video of this measure quickly spread across the internet like wildfire, with the Arc Raiders community celebrating the apparent death of one of the game's most annoying features.

In case you don't know, there are only a few locked rooms on each map, and they usually require a key card to open. Using a key card, you open the room to everyone, allowing you to sneak in and search the space filled with rare equipment.

However, this can be dangerous not only because key cards themselves are rare, but other players can walk in and kill you while you're scavenging or while you're heading to the loot spot. This is a core part of the risk and reward cycle present in Arc Raiders and extraction shooters in general.

However, exploiters found creative ways to enter these premises without a key card. This could be breaking through a locked door, jumping through open windows, falling through a ceiling, etc. Not only will this leave the door locked while you loot, it also means that if another player goes into the locked room with a key card as intended, they may find it fruitless, wasting their key card. This, as you can imagine, sucks.

These new anti-exploit measures detect whether players are in a locked room. Bye The door is locked with a key card. If so, he kills them with no hope of a slow, burning escape. Then, if the player spawns with the key card and opens the door, they will find a bonus body next to the loot from the locked room. Good.

This is far from the only major fix made to Arc Raiders in recent days. In the same patch as this locked room exploit measure, Embark Studios killed double levelingtechnique terrorizing innocents throughout Stella Montis. The game also recently appeared in South Park.of all things.
