The Arc Raiders' hidden bunker puzzle, recently introduced by developer Embark Studios, is a mysterious map modifier to the extraction shooter, currently causing players to go bonkers.

"Good luck out there Raiders," one detective writes in the de facto Hidden Bunker megathread in the r/ArcRaiders subreddit, where nearly 350 comments as of writing don't know what the hell, exactly, is going on or what it is exactly that Arc Raiders is expecting of them.

Located in the dilapidated Spaceport, the Hidden Bunker contains a trove XP in the form of various data terminal once you manage to crack it open – but the hard part doesn't start until much after that. Some players, like those in the megathread, believe the Hidden Bunker data downloads indicate some kind of cryptic, Mount Chiliad-level conspiracy. They just don't know what kind of puzzle it is, or why it's a puzzle, or if it's a puzzle, or… any of it, really.
