Pin yourself, FLOAT out of bounds, SNIPE from INVISIBLE – endless ARC, zero risk… Until EMBARK STRIKES BACK! 😱
What devs are RAGING over RIGHT NOW… Click BEFORE IT’S GONE FOREVER! 👉
Just days after Embark Studios unleashed their infamous “flamethrower fix” on the notorious door glitch, ARC Raiders players have unearthed a brand-new exploit at the Dam Control Tower – an out-of-bounds (OOB) maneuver that’s ripe for abuse and already drawing ire across gaming forums. The multiplayer extraction shooter, which rocketed to Steam prominence since its October 30, 2025 launch, continues to grapple with physics quirks in its post-apocalyptic Speranza setting. The Dam Battlegrounds map – a flooded industrial sprawl teeming with ARC machines and rival raiders – hosts one of the game’s crown-jewel loot spots: the Control Tower’s locked key room, packed with blueprints, high-grade weapons, and crafting mats like Jupiter hullcrackers.
Patch 1.4.0, rolled out November 27, scorched cheaters attempting keyless entry by igniting exploiters in hellfire – a move hailed as “genius” by outlets like PC Gamer. But glitch hunters didn’t sleep. Enter the “Dam Control Tower OOB Glitch,” tutorialized in a YouTube bombshell uploaded November 28 by an anonymous creator, amassing over 2,500 views in under 24 hours. Billed as “BRAND NEW” and “post-patch 1.4.0,” it sidesteps locked doors entirely by yeeting players outside the map geometry for unfair advantages.
The method, broken down with eerie precision in the video, exploits collision bugs around the Control Tower’s windowed overlook – a high-elevation perch overlooking the dam’s churning waters. Here’s the playbook, as demonstrated frame-by-frame:
Step 1: Setup Inside the Tower Secure the key legitimately (RNG spawns in high-risk POIs) and ascend to the Control Tower via ziplines or climbs – no shortcuts here, yet. Loot the room, then target the window ledge.
Step 2: Pin and Float Deploy a barricade flush against the window frame. Follow with a gas trap or noise maker deployable. Maneuver into the tight squeeze, “pinning” your Raider model. Visual cue: Your character begins “floating” unnaturally, defying gravity.
Step 3: Spam to Eject Rock forward/backward while hammering the jump key. The game’s “fixed player” notification triggers – a safety net for stuck players – but here it catapults you OOB, teleporting beyond invisible map barriers. You’re now a ghost: invisible to foes, able to peer-shoot or lure enemies into killzones.
Re-Entry Options:
Ledge Clip: Skirt the tower’s exterior to a far-corner ledge. Repeat pin with gas trap, sprint-clip through the wall, then slide/dodge-roll inside.
Safety Net: Spam “fix player” to snap back legitimately.
Abuse potential? Sky-high. Video hints at “farming ARC” (the invasive machines dropping currency) endlessly from safety, or baiting “snitches” (alert drones) to ambush squads. Imagine: OOB sniping key-holders mid-swipe, or infinite goop farms crashing the economy. Unlike prior door glitches flooding markets with duped blueprints, this enables untouchable PvP cheese – squads vaporized by phantom fire.
Word spread like wildfire. The tutorial hit YouTube amid a glitch echo chamber: Older Dam Tower exploits (e.g., November 10’s no-key entry) racked views before patches sealed them. Reddit’s r/ArcRaiders erupted earlier with “Control Tower glitch?” posts, where players reported keyless killers ambushing from inside – prefiguring this OOB terror. A November 25 Facebook clip touted a “post-patch” variant, crediting YouTuber “slumped,” blurring lines between entry hacks and spatial breaks.
Community schism reignited. Exploit apologists crow “smart physics play” in a genre (Tarkov-likes) built on edge-case mastery. “If devs leave it, it’s feature,” one TikTok defender quipped amid OOB compilations. Fair-play raiders? Livid. “Reported in 4K – EMBARK FIX ASAP,” echoes a Reddit screed, mirroring pre-patch rage quits. Steam forums buzz with “DAMN DOOR GLITCH” holdovers, but this elevates stakes: OOB denies extracts, turning raids into ambushes.
Embark’s track record? Swift and savage. Post-launch patches nuked deployable wall-pushes (1.1.0), shotgun spam (1.4.0), and back-jump propulsion. No word yet on this glitch – uploaded mere hours ago – but X (Twitter) monitors like @ARCRaidersNews and @ArcRaiderHub, who dissected 1.4.0, hint at vigilant hotfixes. Player counts? Spiking. SteamDB logs concurrent peaks near 50K post-door drama, controversy fueling the fire.
Broader fallout looms. Extraction shooters live/die by balance: Free OOB turns risk-reward on its head, echoing Escape from Tarkov’s wallbang scandals. Whispers of economy tanks – overfarmed ARC devaluing grinds – and ban waves, as Embark’s anti-cheat refunds cheater losses. TikTok floods with “testing all OOB after patch,” some persisting, signaling a cat-and-mouse saga.
As Raiders prep for roadmap teases – cold events, Stella Montis tweaks – this glitch tests Embark’s mettle. Will they oven the OOB crew? Or evolve defenses? One fact endures: In Speranza’s shadows, glitches lurk, and the hunt never ends.
