Arc Raiders reveals it’s been successfully targeting item duplication exploits as the percentage of players with ‘unusually high profit per minute’ drops below 1% for the first time in months
Arc Raiders’ development team has successfully implemented countermeasures against item duplication exploits that have plagued the game, with the percentage of players exhibiting “unusually high profit per minute” dropping below 1% for the first time in months. This milestone represents a significant victory in the ongoing battle to maintain the game’s economy.
The live-service game has faced persistent duplication glitches that players have exploited as a quick path to wealth accumulation. Previous incidents included coordinated efforts to hoard millions of rubber ducks and creative abuse of game mechanics, such as using ziplines to construct unintended structures. These exploits undermined the game’s economy and competitive balance.
The developers’ targeted approach appears to be working. By identifying accounts with suspicious profit patterns and removing players who benefited from exploits, they’ve reduced the percentage of affected players to below 1%—a threshold not reached in recent months. The continued vigilance against both bugs and bad actors suggests the development team is committed to maintaining economy integrity in the long term.
