Arc Raiders players have discovered a new duplication glitch, and they’re using it to spawn piles of rubber ducks and make themselves rich.
Although Arc Raiders has received plenty of praise since it dropped in late 2025, there have been a few bumps in the road. Cheaters have occasionally run rampant, and fans have found plenty of bugs and exploits that offer a significant advantage.
One of these was a duplication glitch, where players could copy key items like weapons and ammo, but this was patched in the January 20 update.
However, all signs are pointing towards a new exploit, as players are being spotted with absurd numbers of Blueprints and, of course, Rubber Ducks.
Arc Raiders duplication glitch is back
In recent days, a number of posts have popped up showing players with incredibly valuable inventories, mostly made up of the same item. One image shared on Reddit shows one raider with a whopping 17 Tempest Blueprints, despite being one of the rarest items in the game.
Although Blueprints can only be consumed once, they can be sold for 5,000 Coins, so it’s possible they’re being duplicated for profits, or being passed out to friends.
Hilariously, the trick also works with Rubber Ducks. Many in the Arc Raiders community had already made it their goal to collect as many as possible, to the point that the devs removed the 600 duck limit, but with the addition of the Bird City event, they became more than just a collector’s item.
This special map condition on Buried City offers multi-colored ducks with different patterns, the rarest of which, Familiar Ducks, are worth 7,000 Coins.
Well, players are using the duplication glitch to create huge piles of them, as demonstrated by an image from ‘TheRooster’ on X, which shows a raider surrounded by ducks. From the screenshot of their inventory, they had a total of 417 on them at once, which would sell for just shy of 3 million Coins.
It’s not entirely clear right now how this new exploit works, as players have posed many theories on how to pull it off.
Some think it could be done by connecting your PC or console to your phone’s hotspot, as this is how it was done before the patch. Others claim it has something to do with leaving a lobby and rejoining it to trick the game into thinking there are two of the same item.
Either way, given just how much money players can make from it, don’t be surprised to see it patched in the coming weeks.
