Summary
- ARC Raiders players found a door clipping glitch allowing access to locked loot rooms without keys or rods.
- It needs teamwork, precise timing, and deployable gadgets to push through walls during the glitch.
- Using this glitch carries serious risks like temporary bans, account resets, and may not register your quest completion.
The highly talked about extraction shooter, ARC Raiders, is finally out and some players already noticed a gameplay glitch. A door clipping glitch bypasses locked rooms entirely, providing instant access to high-tier loot. This is extremely helpful for those wanting to advance their loot progression system quickly but always misses the right keys. However, there are serious risks impending when attempting to exploit this door clipping glitch in ARC Raiders.
What is the ARC Raiders Door Clipping Glitch?

The door clipping glitch takes advantage of ARC Raiders handling of collision physics with deployable objects in game. When executed correctly, you can pass through the locked doors and restricted rooms without using any keycards or access rods. Within these locked chambers, you can get some of the most valuable rewards.
This includes rare attachments, purple-tier weapons, high-value gadgets, and special items such as Wolfpack grenades. But how does the glitch work to bypass the rooms? It manipulates the game’s physics engine through positioning and placement of the deployable gadget.
When a player places certain items like barricade kits, the collision detection creates a small window to let players push through solid walls. It bypasses the intended progression system where you have to explore, fight enemies, and find keys through normal gameplay.
Step-by-Step Guide to Performing the Glitch

Although the Door Clipping glitch is free to use, there are risks involved when attempting to execute it in the game. Using this exploit may violate ARC Raiders’ terms of service and lead to penalties including temporary bans or account resets. If you choose to continue your attempt, here’s what you’ll need to do:
-
- Queue up with a friend in party mode. While some players report success in solo queue and cooperating with random teammates, it is inconsistent and not recommended.
- Once you’re in a match, find the locked door which requires a security key, dam key, or access rod.
- Then, place yourself directly against the locked door. Your teammate should place a deployable gadget like a barricade kit, adjacent to the door frame.
- Next is to press the Forward and Jump keys simultaneously while pressed against the wall near the gadget.
- Your teammate must jump on top of you while also pressing forward to create the clipping effect.
- Repeat the process several times to successfully phase through the door.
- When you’re inside, you can freely loot and exit through normal means.
What Loot Can You Access?

Not all rooms are accessible for ARC Raiders players. There are restricted areas that remain impassable for players which contain better rewards than standard loot spawns. You can only access these locked rooms through keycards and such.
However, if a player successfully clipped through it, they will find purple-tier weapons inside. These are the strongest weapons in the game’s current meta. Other than this, these rooms also have rare weapon attachments to improve your loadout effectiveness.
It usually takes hours of grinding to acquire high-value gadgets and equipment in usual gameplay. Some of the items include special grenades like Wolfpack that provide advantages during firefights. On the other hand, take caution as accessing loot through glitch may not complete related quests.
For instance, the “Greasing Her Palms” quest requires you to properly unlock the Water Treatment Control door with a key. Skipping this and using the glitch will not register your quest progress.
Final Thoughts
While tempting, it is best to avoid using door clipping glitch in ARC Raiders. This provides you easy access to high-tiered weapons and items that you can take advantage of to quickly progress. However, this also violates the game’s terms and conditions that may cause banning of your accounts and more serious repercussions. At the end, it is still best to follow the core gameplay and fully immerse yourself in the game.
