🚨 EVERYONE’S FARMING MILLIONS in Arc Raiders… But NO ONE Tells You THIS 5x PROFIT GLITCH for 5 MILLION COINS! 💰😈
1 Powercell + 2 Batteries = Energy Clips that SELL for 5K… Materials? Worth PENNIES! Pros are STACKED while noobs GRIND raids! Expedition wipe in DAYS—don’t get left behind!
Is Embark NERFING it? Farm BEFORE it’s GONE! 🔥 Who’s hitting 5M first? 👇

Arc Raiders, the relentless extraction shooter from Embark Studios that launched to massive acclaim on October 30, is in the throes of a player-driven gold rush. With over 400,000 peak concurrent players on Steam alone and cross-platform totals pushing millions, the PvPvE title—where squads loot a robot-infested wasteland, battle massive ARC machines, and extract before disaster—has players glued to their screens. But as the first Expedition wipe looms from December 17 to 22, a new frenzy has erupted: grinding to a 5 million coin stash value for permanent skill point bonuses.
Embark’s blog detailed the stakes: Deposit up to 5 million in combined stash value and currency for five extra permanent skill points—one per million—plus cosmetics like the Patchwork Raider Outfit, 12 stash slots, and temporary buffs (10% repair speed, 5% XP, 6% Scrappy materials). Casual players get zero; dedicated grinders lock in advantages for Season 2. The announcement, dropped late, sparked backlash—”last-minute paywall” cries on Reddit and Steam—but pros adapted fast, uncovering a crafting loop that’s printing money without risky raids.
Enter the Energy Clip meta: Players farm cheap materials, craft ammo packs at the workbench, and sell for 5x profits. One Advanced ARC Powercell (650 coins) plus two Batteries (500 each) crafts a stack of five Energy Clips worth 5,000 coins—a net 3,860 gain per cycle. Unlock the recipe via the Equalizer blueprint (purple energy weapon, looted from Queen/Harvester events: solve canister puzzles in the Harvester room). It’s no glitch—just smart “upselling”—but viral guides from Arekkz Gaming and Rooster call it an “exploit” Embark might patch.
Step-by-Step Energy Clip Farm
-
Unlock Blueprint: Join Queen events; shoot glowing targets after placing canisters. Loot Equalizer BP.
Farm Batteries: Stella Montis, Sandbox control room (north). Breach corner containers for 20-30 stacks (15-stack limit). Safe, low-PvP.
Hunt Powercells: Blue Gate map—Bastion/Bomber ARC spawns (four spots). Use 15-25 Impact Grenades (cheap craft/buy) from cover. Loot blues/greens too (30-60k extra).
Craft & Sell: Workbench → 1 Powercell + 2 Batteries = Energy Clip pack. Vend at traders. Repeat for millions.
Streamers like ZLANER and takibo report hundreds of thousands per session; Reddit users hit 5 million in days. X influencer Rooster’s infographic exploded, with 4,700+ likes: “NET PROFIT: +$3860 per craft.”

Community Divide: Grind or Quit?
Steam forums rage: “5M for 5 points? Last-minute zinger!” PC Gamer notes backlash but defends: Embark knows stash medians; it’s top-percentile gatekeeping. Myth (1,700+ likes): “314 hours… still a blast.” Casual deaths in walls/high-loot zones frustrate, but solos average 300-400k/hour.
X debates patch risks: “Use before nerfed.” With “Cold Snap” update December 16, Embark stays silent on balances. Streamers like Nickmercs and CohhCarnage grind live, alliances form for turf wars.
For newbies: Start free-kit Buried City; scale to crafting. Pros: Energy Clips for passive millions. As wipe nears, Rust Belt servers buzz—will you Expedition with max points or reset broke? Gear up; the caravan awaits.
