ARC Raiders has truly become a breeding ground for innovative ideas with which players aim to maximize their performance topside, both against other players and those evil, mindless ARC drones. Now, some have figured out how to make a functional siege tower, allowing no one to get a shot in.
This seems to have been first discovered (or at least popularized) by streamer TheBurntPeanut (via GamingZar), who managed to somehow assemble several barricades and place them onto a single player, who’d become completely surrounded by walls and essentially immune to incoming damage. It also appears there’s enough space for other players to squeeze in, making this the best portable defense system in the game.
In another clip, it’s shown that you can mount just one or a couple of these barricades onto yourself, allowing entrance into buildings and ensuring protection follows you everywhere you go. It’s the most fun and ridiculous way to exploit the game’s systems, but it will unfortunately be patched out pretty soon, or at least I would think so.
Other exploits, like how players recently discovered the console in ARC Raiders and used commands to tune down various settings to increase visibility and reduce on-screen clutter, have also appeared over the months, but were generally (and quickly) removed by the developers. That isn’t enough to prevent players from thinking out of the box, however, and we’ll likely continue seeing all sorts of ridiculous contraptions spring up topside.
And I’m honestly all here for it.
