The ARC Raiders‘ door glitch lets you enter locked rooms and restricted areas without needing a key or meeting any other special requirements. By exploiting the game’s engine, certain items, and player movements, you can get access to rooms that contain the best loot and gear that would usually take hours of grinding.
If you want to pull this glitch off and get the best loot for yourself, here’s a full guide on how to do the door glitch in ARC Raiders.

Although Embark Studios tried to patch this glitch with the 1.2.0 update, there’s still a workaround that YouTuber Everything Glitches has managed to find. If you’re eager to grab all the juicy loot in ARC Raiders, here’s exactly what you need to do –
Team up with a friend.
Head to a door that normally requires a key to open
Stand as close to the door as possible.
Place the Barricade Kit completely flat against it
As soon as you do that, dodge roll forward (D + Left Alt)
If your timing is perfect, you will be able to jump through the door and enter the locked room. All that’s left for you is to loot everything you can see. While it’s surely an effective way to farm resources in the extraction shooter, you need to keep in mind that it’s an exploit at the end of the day.
Embark Studios will eventually patch it out with future updates, and gamers who abuse it might even deal with bans. It’s best to use it at your own risk.

Let’s be honest, extraction shooters really don’t have the best reputation in the gaming industry. Sure, titles like Escape From Tarkov have managed to find an audience and success, but most of the games in this genre have struggled hard. Heck, even Bungie’s upcoming Marathon is under fire for being an extraction shooter even before any of the art theft allegations surfaced.
So, when Embark Studios announced ARC Raiders would be an extraction shooter, plenty of gamers and experts across the industry were highly skeptical. They thought it would be yet another flop and might even be the end of Embark Studios. However, two weeks after the launch, it’s clear that ARC Raiders is a phenomenal success.
Just take a look at ARC Raiders‘ SteamDB numbers. It’s consistently sitting around 300,000 concurrent players on average, and even managed to break its peak with 480,000+ players.
If that’s not enough, ARC Raiders has also managed to ship 4 million copies around the globe in less than two weeks, and it’s been nominated for Best Multiplayer Game at The Game Awards 2025. Clearly, this extraction shooter is here to stay, and proves that when a game is done right, gamers will flock to it in hordes.
