Patch Deployment Across Platforms

Update 1.4.0 has launched universally on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, ensuring every raider experiences a cleaner game environment. A quick client restart triggers the download, minimizing downtime. This compact patch prioritizes stability, targeting exploits that disrupted fair play while slipping in unannounced enhancements.

Locked Room Protections Activated

All locked rooms on every map now feature advanced exploit mitigation. Previously, players glitched through doors via wall clips or ziplines, accessing prime loot uncontested. The "very hot fix" deploys environmental hazards inside – think instant incineration upon unauthorized entry. Cheaters face a fiery demise, complete with a cheeky death message: "You shouldn't have been trying to exploit, dumbass." This server-side trap enforces integrity without impacting legitimate runs.

Specifically, Spaceport's Control Tower locked room seals off exterior zipline access, blocking the most abused path. No more free elevator rides to high-value stashes.

Gun Quick Swap Eliminated

The notorious quick swap glitch – swapping to a quick-use item like a medkit then back to fire shotguns (e.g., Il Toro) or rifles faster than intended – is history. This allowed unnatural fire rates, dominating close-quarters brawls. Post-patch, weapon handling resets properly, restoring balanced combat pacing. Double-pumping shotguns? No longer viable, leveling the field for all raiders.

Player Interaction and Visual Polish

Jumping on another raider's back to shove them off ledges or disrupt positioning? Fixed – collisions now prevent exploitative pushes. Entering maps won't spawn lighting glitches anymore, and main menu textures render at full resolution consistently. Raider Voice settings persist through restarts, so your customized chatter stays put.

Stella Montis Night Raids Unleashed

Undocumented but live: Stella Montis now cycles Night Raids, transforming its lucrative indoor facility into a high-stakes shadow hunt. Expect amplified loot pools, including rarer blueprints, under dimmed conditions with potential red emergency lighting shifts. This variant amps risk-reward – navigate tighter visibility for blueprint jackpots like the elusive Bobcat (tied to event triggers). Community runs report "massive loot seshes," making it a must-queue for progression grinders. Power outage vibes? Not quite, but the darker ambiance fits perfectly.

Meanwhile, the Midnight Rooster bundle elevates your companion Scrappy: sleek black rooster skin, spotting scope attachment, backpack charm, and "come here" emote. Perfect for squad signaling in the dark.

FAQs on ARC Raiders Update 1.4.0

How does the locked room hot fix work exactly?

It triggers lethal room hazards (fire traps) only on glitch detection, sparing key-holders. Legit players remain safe; exploiters burn with a taunting message.

Is the Il Toro double pump still possible after 1.4.0?

No – the quick swap mechanic is fully patched, enforcing standard reload/fire cycles for all weapons.

What changes in Stella Montis Night Raids?

Darker lighting boosts loot quality and blueprint odds, but demands better night vision tools. No power outages, just intensified shadows.

Can I still access Spaceport Control Tower exteriors?

Zipline routes are sealed; use interior keys or events for entry.

Do store sets like Riposta offer stats?

Pure cosmetics – no gameplay buffs, just style for your raider and Scrappy.
