ARC Raiders Stella Montis Has a Another Glitch That Takes You Out of Bounds

Just hours after the last one was patched, another out-of-bounds glitch on Stella Montis has been discovered by the ARC Raiders community. Players have already taken to social media to share a new method that allows them to get out of bounds on ARC Raiders‘ newest map, sparking outrage for those who just want to play the game legitimately. With the holiday period less than two weeks away, there is concern that it could be quite some time before developer Embark Studios gets around to releasing a new hotfix for the issue.

For weeks, a controversial exploit that allowed players to gain an unfair advantage over others was ruining ARC Raiders for many players. Rather bizarrely, this glitch didn’t require anything overly complicated, like using gadgets to phase through doors. Instead, there appeared to have been an invisible zipline on one particular area of the map that would take players straight through the ceiling and allow them to wander around the entire map without being visible to other players. For obvious reasons, this was a major issue. In competitive shooters like Battlefield 6 or Call of Duty, this would have been frustrating, but it was even worse in ARC Raiders due to it being an extraction shooter. This means that when you die, your stuff is gone, so being eliminated to a cheater is, of course, infuriating.

I Spent 3 Painful Hours Only Using ARC Raiders’ Worst Weapon and Can Confirm: It Needs a Buff

While it’s debatable which ARC Raiders weapon is the best, after using this one, I think I’ve found the answer to which is the worst.

It took some time, but Embark eventually released a new ARC Raiders update on December 11 that fixed the exploit, along with a few other issues. Patch 1.6.0 was only a small hotfix, but it finally removed the zipline that was allowing players to go out of bounds on Stella Montis with ease. According to the patch notes, it also fixed a collision that allowed players to vault and fall through a wall in Blue Gate, which was another game-breaking exploit allowing players to get out of the map. Other changes included a fix for material issues that caused multiple objects to not block bullet fire or ARC vision, and a fix for a gap in the collision on Spaceport Launch Tower that allowed players to be shot through the wall.

Stella Montis Has Another Severe Exploit

Unfortunately, it hasn’t taken long for ARC Raiders players to discover yet another exploit on Stella Montis. Less than 24 hours after the new update went live, users took to Twitter to reveal that it was still possible to get out of the map, but this time with a different method. As seen in the clip below, it appears to be possible for players to get themselves stuck between two large machines by sliding between them. As it is then impossible for the player to escape, the game will issue a “fix stuck player” prompt. Holding the button to fix the stuck player will teleport them through the ceiling and out of the map, once again allowing players to roam freely without being seen and even eliminating other players.

Given that it took many weeks for Embark to finally fix the last Stella Montis exploit, it could, unfortunately, be quite a while before this one is addressed. To make matters worse, the holiday season is approaching, and Embark has already stated that the team is gearing up to take some much-deserved time off. In the most recent patch notes, the studio said its future updates will no longer be on weekly cadence as they have been since launch. “From now on, our release window and store rotation will shift to Tuesdays, however, as the winter holiday period approaches, the team will be taking a much needed break so that we can come back in January ready to bring more updates,” Embark said.

With that being said, there is a major new content update planned for December 16. ARC Raiders‘ highly anticipated Cold Snap update will be released for free on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, adding a new Snowfall map condition, a new event known as Flickering Flames, a new Raider Deck, and some fresh Quests for players to complete. It will also see the first Expedition departure window open, allowing players who are ready to reset leave the Rust Belt and experience a fresh wipe.
