Players will encounter several locked doors in ARC Raiders that usually require a special key to unlock. There aren't any guaranteed locations to find said keys, as they are random loot drops that you can find while looting high-value places or residential areas in the game. However, if you don't want to bother finding keys and instead want to directly get into locked doors, here's a door glitch method that will help you do just that. Let's check out how this glitch works.

As of ARC Raiders patch 1.4.0, performing the door glitch in the game will result in a fiery death. Players can still try it at their own risk.

How to Use the Door Glitch in ARC Raiders

To get into any locked door using the door glitch in ARC Raiders, you'll need to have at least one other player with you. You can either ask a friend to join you on this escapade or use in-game proximity chat to call a nearby player to your aid. Once there's another player with you, you can now attempt the door glitch. It will essentially let you phase through a door and access the locked area without needing a key.

The Technique

In the first method, you'll be the one passing through the door while your teammate pushes you through. To pull it off, position yourself at the edge of the door, preferably the one close to the key terminal. Once you're in position, start sprinting towards the gap between the door and the terminal. Your character will remain still initially; it'll start running once it starts to phase through the door.

It's important to keep your weapon holstered during this process for optimal results.

While you're doing this, your teammates will need to constantly jump at your back. This action will start pushing your character into the door, essentially starting the phasing process. Your teammate will need to continuously jump behind you until you successfully no-clip through the door and reach the other side. Now, all you need to do is let your teammate inside by interacting with the door's terminal from the inside.

It's recommended to take a free loadout with you for the first couple of runs until you've perfected the technique.

And just like that, you'll be able to get into all locked doors in ARC Raiders using this door glitch. Some doors will be a bit harder to get into, so try every corner of the door to see which one successfully lets your character no-clip through.
