ARC Raiders players exploit duplication glitch, breaking game economy
ARC Raiders is facing a major controversy due to a glitch allowing players to duplicate certain in-game items. The exploit affects blueprints and ducks, leading to severe imbalance in the game's economy.
According to the community, some players are actively using the vulnerability to create unlimited quantities of valuable items, securing massive amounts of in-game currency. Duck duplication has proven particularly profitable – players are making millions using this method.
With blueprint duplication, the profits can be measured in real money – some players are selling rare blueprints for actual cash.
The situation is causing concern among legitimate players, as ARC Raiders' economic system has essentially stopped functioning properly. Widespread use of the exploit creates unfair advantages and devalues the achievements of those who ignore exploits.
Some players believe that using the item cloning exploit should result in a 30-day ban and wallet reset. Others are trying to test the mechanic while it still works.
Developers haven't responded to the latest issue yet, but they've patched previous exploits fairly quickly. A hotfix will likely address the problem in the coming days.
