A new Arc Raiders update, version 1.12.0, is rolling out now, bringing with it two exploit fixes as well as "various out of bounds" corrections on Stella Montis.
The Arc Raiders 1.12.0 patch notes, shared by Embark Studios today, are short but sweet, and while there are a few complaints online from players who were hoping for a little more, these all seem like solid changes. To start, two duplication exploits – one for items and one for ammo – have been fixed, which should help even out the playing field for anyone playing fairly.
Otherwise, Embark has "fixed some cases where players were able to damage others from behind geometry," as well as "various out of bounds map locations on Stella Montis." So, it sounds like it's less likely you'll be shot from the void going forward, but in the initial reaction to the patch notes, some players suspect that the phrasing suggests the issue might not be gone entirely yet.

Some players are frustrated that certain other problems remain unfixed – namely, the crafting bug that can see your crafting counter randomly reset in the middle of holding it down, not to mention certain bugged trophies that some players are finding impossible to unlock, locking them out from completing everything.
"When will they fix the bugged trophy/achievements?" one player asks. "For the love of God tell me the crafting bug is fixed this week," writes another.
Despite some complaints, however, others are still pleased with Embark's progress. "They fixed the out of bounds. Not every patch is a banger, but they are fixing every issue people care about at a pretty good pace," writes one. "Fixed two of the biggest issues last week and another massive issue this week. Don't understand the hate," another adds.
Out of bounds exploits could at times make Stella Montis feel unplayable, but the frustration with the enduring crafting bug is understandable given how frequently you run into it. It's also a new bug introduced by a previous patch, as it wasn't present at launch.

It's likely that Embark has a lot of focus on its anti-cheat measures behind the scenes, too, following a statement earlier this month in which the studio confirmed that, "over the next few weeks, we are implementing significant changes to our rulesets and deploying new detection mechanisms to identify and remove cheaters." These plans included "addressing the 'out of map' glitch," so the devs are certainly on top of that.
I'm GamesRadar+'s Deputy News Editor, working alongside the rest of the news team to deliver cool gaming stories that we love. After spending more hours than I can count filling The University of Sheffield's student newspaper with Pokemon and indie game content, and picking up a degree in Journalism Studies, I started my career at GAMINGbible where I worked as a journalist for over a year and a half. I then became TechRadar Gaming's news writer, where I sourced stories and wrote about all sorts of intriguing topics. In my spare time, you're sure to find me on my Nintendo Switch or PS5 playing through story-driven RPGs like Xenoblade Chronicles and Persona 5 Royal, nuzlocking old Pokemon games, or going for a Victory Royale in Fortnite.
