Arc Raiders Patch 1.12.0 Targets Stella Montis Exploits, But Players Report Persistent Issues
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Embark Studios released Arc Raiders update 1.12.0 to patch item duplication and Stella Montis out-of-bounds exploits, though players report some map issues still persist.
Embark Studios has rolled out update 1.12.0 for Arc Raiders, aiming to clean up some of the most frustrating exploits plaguing the extraction shooter. According to community lead Ossen, who shared the official patch notes, this targeted January update focuses heavily on closing loopholes that have disrupted fair play. The fixes specifically address item and ammo duplication glitches, an issue allowing players to land damage through solid geometry, and the notorious out-of-bounds exploits centered around the Stella Montis map.
While the patch represents a clear step forward in Embark's ongoing anti-cheat and exploit crackdown, the community remains cautious. Shortly after the update went live, players took to social media and forums to report that some defiant exploiters, colloquially known as rats, are still finding ways to clip into the walls of Stella Montis. For a genre where loot security and fair PvP encounters mean everything, even minor map oversights can cause major friction among dedicated squads.
Extraction shooters live and die by the integrity of their economies and risk-reward loops, making these rapid developer interventions essential for long-term player retention. As Arc Raiders continues to maintain massive momentum following its milestone sales success, keeping map geometry secure and stopping duplication exploits will remain a top priority for the team.
