Arc Raiders has had a big problem with various duplication exploits since its release. In a genre all about looting—finding it and fighting to keep it—that's a pretty nasty issue to have. While these bugs have generally been patched pretty quickly, and often related to specific items (like endless rubber duckies), the spoils of free-flowing loot spread like wildfire among players. A weapon's locker full of Bobcats? Who's gonna say no to that?
YouTuber 'The Gaming Merchant' decided to investigate how these glitches have impacted the game. First, they began by infiltrating PvP servers. While Embark has said matchmaking isn't that binary, the gist is that the more violent you are, the more violent your lobbies tend to be. The Gaming Merchant started encountering very geared-up players consistently—equipped with Bobcats, gold-quality weapon mods like the Kinetic Converter, and even more. That's not an immediate red flag as you'd expect PvP players to be armed to the teeth.
