Arc Raiders duplication glitch floods servers with rare rubber ducks — player extracted $2.8M

PC Gamer reports a duplication glitch in Arc Raiders is producing mountains of the new rare Familiar Duck, with players sharing screenshots and one Reddit user saying 'I extracted with $2.8M. Still confused.'

The Familiar Duck is the most valuable duck, selling for 5,000 raider coins and stacking to 15. PC Gamer notes that even a free loadout with 14 open slots could bring back just over 1 million raider coins if filled with these stacks.

Multiple social posts show corpses in Buried City Metro surrounded by full stacks of ducks. One Reddit user, granto, posted "What the duck is this?" after finding two downed raiders whose inventories contained only full stacks of ducks; the reports say these were not PvP kills but downed in a metro tunnel extract.

The bug appears not to be limited to ducks: a Cloud Plays video highlighted a player duping the Tempest blueprint to get 17 copies. PC Gamer warns that exploiting the glitch will earn a strike against a player’s record and could result in a 30-day or permanent ban.

Embark has not commented on the situation, and PC Gamer says it remains unclear whether this is a widespread exploit or how the developer will respond, leaving enforcement and next steps pending.
