Hidden Bunkers in ARC Raiders are special map events that appear on the Spaceport. It quickly became a popular activity in the game because of its high-risk and high-reward nature. However, the developers recently disabled and removed the Hidden Bunkers from the game. The reason behind this decision has also been stated by a developer on the game's official Discord channel.

On that note, here's why the Hidden Bunkers in ARC Raiders are disabled.


Why did Embark disable Hidden Bunkers in ARC Raiders?

Embark Studios put out a statement on Discord explaining that Hidden Bunkers were taken out of rotation because players were abusing an exploit. This bug allowed some players to phase inside the bunker even when it was locked, giving them an unfair advantage over others.

Cheaters were able to enter early by clipping into the walls, and then took all the loot before the bunker actually opened. This resulted in making the special event pointless and unfair for the legitimate players. A similar bug was also being used by many cheaters to clip inside locked rooms without even using a key.

Thus, to protect other players and stop cheaters from exploiting the issue further, Embark decided to disable the Hidden Bunkers in ARC Raiders completely until further notice. According to their Discord announcement, the bunkers will return in a future update, but there is no confirmed date yet.

Right now, it's hard to determine how long it would take the devs to bring back the Hidden Bunkers with a proper fix. Unfortunately, it seems like it would take a few weeks for an update to roll out regarding this issue. The reason is that it has been weeks since the Locked Doors were disabled, and even they haven't returned yet.


That's everything you need to know about the Hidden Bunkers in ARC Raiders. For realtime updates, players can follow the game's official Discord channel.
