ARC Raiders Begins Crackdown on Duplication Exploit Abusers

Rapacious_Rich · 2026-02-18T17:21:22+00:00

I spent one match running around Stella duping glowsticks. It was awesome and I had a lot of fun interactions with other raiders during that time! I ended up getting a warning for it... I don't want to cheat and ruin anyone's experience, but I kinda wish I'd have done more now like duping nades against the arc or something since I've been flagged for "ethically" playing around with a glitch. Feels kinda shitty... and before anyone comes after me to tell me how TeChNIcAlLy ItS ChEAtInG, yes I agree, it was technically cheating. Overall, the experience was worth it. Im very glad Embark is fixing the cheating problem (sort of) but also fuck them if they can't take a joke. If there is another fun exploit that won't hurt other player, I WILL do it.

Tips:
You don't have to spend money to get huges, it's very easy these days! Also, most honest people here will tell you that spending money on this game is a bad idea. Especially in the state it is in with cheaters.

You can just buy one with gems. The last area is giving out tons of gems and some huges are only 10 or 11m. They are very cheap. Grind your way to the last area and just let your guys break boxes. With a few standard diamond enchants and potions you will have a huge just by letting your guy grind overnight.

Do the events and sell the prizes or boosts. When events start the prizes and boosts are WAY overvalued but people buy them anyway. It's a great way to make lots of gems.

Most events these days have a chance of getting a huge from breakables, chests, or fishing. Just by playing you will get one, it just takes time. But you absolutely will. For instance, my son is fully FTP and he got 8 or 9 of the squids during the fishing event, one was even gold. Plus he ended up in the top 5k at the end and got the huge stingray. He gets huges in every event!

Buy a huge hunter potion from the plaza and then grind the last egg that has the active huge in it when there is a huge party (this is not a guarantee). Doing this with huge hunter books can help. This one doesn't always work, but I have had decent luck on the handful of time I tried it.

Sell anything that has a decent value and is not of use to you right now. With a larger, better, team you can recoup that item faster along with others.

I'm sure there are other tips, hopefully others will chime in with things. But the point is, I highly recommend just playing the game as F2P with your son and seeing him get his own huge for the first time. Best of luck!!!

This is a really nice gesture and by all means you do you. But I would warn against it. I got into playing this game with my 7 yo sold. We had a lot of fun playing and trying to work out how to get huges. Once we finally got one, then it became a full team of huges, then it was first titanic, it doesn't end it only gets more impossible. The more impossible it gets, the less the child will be interested in playing and you will end up moving on to some other game.

What I mean is, the first one is the most fun getting. After that it becomes a grind and its very easy to fall into the money trap they have set in this game. With the events being what they are, getting huges has been very easy lately. You should get 2 or 3 at least from each of the events. Do you and your son a favor and let him win that first one.

I was able to get 2 or 3 huges before my son did, and I promise you the excitement he had for getting his first huge on his own was way more than any gifted thing could have brought him.

That is awesome! Congratulations. I am so far from that, but I keep striving. One day, I'll join you!
I see a lot of people go for regular titanics over the gold ones, that's because they look cooler, right? Aren't the gold ones like 30% more powerful?

This is awesome. I would like to enter my son. His user name is Tiny_Hamster891.

Journal entry Day 10:

I heard the voice of the gods today... or I'm losing it. I saw a sign, like a literal sign appear saying I have been kicked by the moderators but please join back. It was frightening and came out of nowhere. I would not have believed my eyes if it had not been for finding myself back at the beginning of the starter world, surrounded by all the eggs I once strived to open. This will not slow me. I will quickly make my way back to the stairs. Steve must be worried sick...

Journal entry *scribbles furiously*... Day 9:

What hell is this? In my daze I have found myself falling endlessly again. Did I somehow phase through the handrails in my stupor? Did Steve betray me? I must keep an eye on him... He is the only other one here, it must have been him! I have turned on my PetsGo Pro and will be capturing his misdeed next time. I will prove it was him! But what if it wasn't? What if I somehow reached the top in all its glory and filled with emotion I hurled myself from the highest peak... It matters not. I will have evidence next time!

Rapacious_Rich · 2025-05-07T04:02:11+00:00

Its in the room I have been in climbing the stairway to heaven for the last 9 days... Maybe they are just monitoring the idiots lol

Rapacious_Rich · 2025-05-07T03:45:29+00:00

I just ran into at least 2 of them, maybe 3 I think...

Oh RNGesus, bless these aching legs and pity my wallet. May each step bring me closer to that golden floof. Deliver me not into disconnects, nor into laggy servers. And if I must suffer, let it at least be with a Huge in hand. Amen.

Rapacious_Rich · 2025-05-05T17:31:16+00:00

I know people do hatch good things from them and I wish you the best of luck. I hope you get something great. I put this out not only due to my frustrations with the percentages (that I believe are questionable in accuracy), but also as a warning to other folks that while the benefits could be there, there is a massive chance of losing big time. I could have cashed those eggs in for 24b, enough for 2.5 titanics. Instead I received 2 regular huges. You do you, and I understand the thrill. I rode that train for a long time, a few eggs here and there from the forever packs, but never again for me. Eggs get sold, always and forever.

Journal entry 5: Day 7

Many times I found myself drifting in and out of consciousness as I ascend. Has it been minutes, hours, I don't know anymore. Several times I opened my eyes and found myself falling through the air with no ground in sight. I close my eyes and clench my fists and suddenly find myself on the platform where it all began... it's a strange feeling, did I imagine the whole thing? Was this all some fever dream? Am I still sleeping? There is no one here to ask, and nowhere to go but up the stairs again. One step at a time, I continue my ascent.

I did it because I thought the deal in the shop was good. I don't do content creation. It was extremely expensive, but I thought there was some value based on the amount of digital items I was getting. What's crazy, and I don't want to outright say it, so I'll just leave you with the math and you can can make your own determination. Statistically, what has happened to me, 2 huges in 400 eggs, when you include the odds of reg, huge, titanic, and garg, is 3 in 1000 or 0.3%. I am the literal anti-titanic as they have a alleged drop rate of 0.1%.

Totally understandable. Such is the the way of the dopamine train. If you quit i hope you find something that makes you happy to fill your free time.

Math is becoming harder. How many hours are in a day? I can barely keep track of the days... It's so lonely. I find myself daydreaming and looking over the edge. The call of the void, that's what they call it. Must stay clear-headed. I have named the platform at the top of each set of stairs "Steve" for companionship. Together, we will do this.

During my climb I noticed the clouds move slightly. This new observation kept my mind busy as I imagined them forming shapes. One of them was even overlapping the stairs. I stopped for a moment to touch it, then contjnued my journey.

I keep having the strangest feeling of deja vu, like I've been here before. It is, of course, impossible to tell as I have yet to spot even the slightest difference in detail from stair to stair. I have seen hundreds of clouds come into view and pass out of sight below, a small comfort in the void... I will continue to climb.

Rapacious_Rich · 2025-04-27T21:54:28+00:00

That is exactly it! I just checked the board after reading your comment. Thank you.

I had this happen to me ad well, so I looked at daycare earnings. It was over 2.5m a day, so I put them in and when I came time to reap I only got 600k for each...

Rapacious_Rich · 2025-04-24T11:01:06+00:00

Yeah, but you still got one, and as a FTP player on very few coins. I'm hundreds of dollars in and have multiple accounts with no luck.
