This Tuesday, February 11, 2026, the developers of the multiplayer extraction game ARC Raiders deployed a patch to resolve an ammunition duplication bug. Very quickly exploited by streamers like TheBurntPeanut, this bug allowed players to generate grenades and bullets infinitely, completely unbalancing the gameplay.
Digital chaos triggered by a duplication bug
Players quickly discovered that manipulating the inventory allowed them to duplicate items, including ammo and explosive equipment. This flaw was widely reported on the networks, leading to an explosion of absurd in-game activities.
Many users have also reported “Headwinds” quests disappearing, even when not completed, rendering some parts unplayable. These bugs caused an influx of reactions from Embark Studios, which quickly took the lead.
Embark Studios releases quick and accurate patch
On their official channels, the developers indicated: “We have just deployed a new patch to resolve other reported issues”. Among the detailed changes are several crucial adjustments:
- “Fixed inventory slot duplication bug. Fixed infinite ammo weapon bug”
- “Fixed an issue where some quests were missing in the Headwinds update”
The team specifies that “No download is necessary, just restart your game!” to apply the update. This patch was deployed less than 24 hours after the last main update, which demonstrates great responsiveness on the part of the studio.
Flaws corrected, but a community still vigilant
Embark Studios is committed to maintaining enhanced monitoring. “The team is working around the clock to identify and fix security vulnerabilities. We will keep you informed.”
Despite the speed of execution, some players are already wondering: how long until the next exploit? ARC Raiders, still young on the market, must now earn the trust of its community by ensuring the stability of its competitive environment. For now, the ammo bug is a thing of the past, and the servers are gradually regaining their balance… until the next flaw.
