ARC Raiders Patch 1.12.0 Fixes Key Exploits

Embark Studios released patch 1.12.0 for ARC Raiders on Thursday, addressing long-standing exploits that have disrupted gameplay in the popular multiplayer extraction shooter. The update, available now on PC and consoles, targets vulnerabilities primarily in the Stella Montis map, a mountainous stronghold introduced late last year that has become a hotspot for intense player-versus-player encounters.

The patch fixes two major issues that players have exploited for unfair advantages. One involves glitching through the map's ceiling or boundaries, allowing users to position themselves outside the playable area, where they can shoot at opponents below without being seen or targeted. This out-of-bounds technique, discovered shortly after Stella Montis launched in late 2025, rendered exploiters effectively invisible and invulnerable, frustrating legitimate players during loot runs and raids. Reports indicated the glitch could be achieved by climbing onto objects like cabinets or tables, jumping in a specific sequence near walls, and triggering a "fix player" prompt to clip through the scenery. A similar boundary issue has been noted on the open Blue Gate map, though less frequently.
