February 11, 2025: Embark has just released a hotfix to patch various bugs and exploits, including those mentioned below: "The team is dedicated to investigating and squashing exploits and we'll keep you in the loop. Thank you for your continued diligent reporting. No need to download, please restart your game!" The original article follows.

Arc Raiders has had a ton of bugs that break the item economy; perhaps most infamous is the recent item duplication glitch that will see Embark dishing out bans, but we've had similar bugs in the past. Just as this game-breaking issue is being patched up, another hole in the hull has ruptured: it turns out that you can now infinitely repair any weapon for free.

This will fully repair the weapons at no cost to you, and even works on high-tier weapons like the Bettina or Tempest, which are normally expensive to maintain. Yes, it's really that simple.

This already sounds broken enough, bypassing the (albeit unbalanced) item economy that's designed to make higher-quality weapons more restricted. But to make this even worse, this same technique can also be used to break ammunition.

Repeat the process from before but unload the weapon each time you pick it up, and you'll notice that you're generating ammo out of thin air. As you've likely guessed, this works on high-end weapons with expensive ammo like the Hullcracker, breaking the economy even more.

Genos noticed that using this method with a Torrente and a smaller capacity weapon like a Venator or Bobcat would somehow share the heavy weapon's capacity. As you'll see in the video above, Genos' Bobcat effectively turned into an LMG with 102 bullets in the magazine, as if the game got confused along the way. With the Bobcat's incredibly fast fire rate, it's meant to be bullet hungry, but that's no longer an issue.

Free items sure aren't great for the economy, but it's not really harming anyone. In fact, some people were generously giving rubber ducks away rather than hoarding the wealth for themselves. Infinite ammo in a bullet hose SMG? Now that's not going to go down well.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
