Arc Raiders players are still running into enemies who have managed to escape Stella Montis and shoot them from the ceiling and walls, despite the devs releasing a patch to try to fix the issue.

In recent weeks, Arc Raiders has struggled with a number of players using cheats and exploits to gain an upper hand. One of the most notorious was the ceiling glitch, which saw raiders break out of the map on Stella Montis and start picking off enemies unchallenged from above.

Embark Studios then released a patch on January 20, which “fixed various out-of-bounds map locations on Stella Montis.” Fans had hoped that this would spell an end to the problem, but even after the update rolled out, many players are still reporting that the issue has persisted.

Arc Raiders ceiling exploit is alive and well

As spotted by IGN, the official Arc Raiders Discord is still full of players complaining about encountering teams they can’t see.

“You guys supposedly fixed Stella wall glitches, so why am I dying to trash bag players inside the wall glitch?” wrote one user, while another added: “Nice to see Stella glitch isn’t fixed.”

Based on comments in the Discord, it appears that while several spots have been fixed, there are still a handful of locations that cheaters can use to get out of bounds.

“They patched some of the easy Stella glitches, but there are like 2 or 3 that are still in the game.

However, it does appear that the devs have added a new feature to help combat the issue. X user ‘CDNThe3rd’ posted a clip where an enemy outside the map tried to shoot them through the ceiling, and while on the attacker’s screen, it looked like they were dealing damage, they were completely unharmed.

They speculated that this could be a “built-in fail-safe” to essentially make the exploit useless while Embark works on a full fix.

The team hasn’t officially said whether or not they’re aware that the issues have continued, or if they did put this contingency in place, but fans will be hoping that the out-of-bounds glitch isn’t around for much longer.
