A hilarious glitch in Arc Raiders' version 1.13.0 update allows downed players to soar across maps Superman-style after a grapple revive, sparking joy in the community. The update, which introduced solo vs squads matchmaking and other features earlier this week, continues to buzz on social media.
The January 1.13.0 update for Arc Raiders—a 2025 third-person extraction shooter from Embark Studios—brought player-requested additions like 'Solo vs Squads' matchmaking (for raider level 40+), a 20% XP bonus for successful solo extractions, a trophy display case, two Epic Augments, seven quests, and permanent bird nests on the Buried City map. Coverage of these features is available in our prior article.
However, the update also unleashed an unintended highlight: a flying glitch that's become a community meme. As shared on Reddit by user BuzzzKillingtonn in a clip titled 'TheBurntPeanut new meta,' the exploit works by grappling onto a teammate right as you're downed. If they run far away before reviving you, the rez flings you skyward to their location in a perfect Superman pose.
User isnoe detailed the method: 'Grapple onto someone right as you get downed, they run really (really) far away, once you are rezzed, you get flung to wherever that person is.' Reactions flooded in, with Inelmodlis saying, 'Literally just watched this. The Superman pose had me dying,' and JustifiedResistance noting, 'The fact he got that far is wild, haha.'
Players hope Embark leaves this fun bug intact a bit longer amid calls for fixes. Arc Raiders is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with streams thriving on YouTube, Twitch, and Rumble.
