A fresh twist on Arc Raiders' snap hook glitch has emerged, this time turning cooperative play into an unintended aerial spectacle. The latest discovery—demonstrated by streamer The Burnt Peanut—shows how players can harness the snap hook to glide across the map, provided a teammate sprints ahead and triggers a revival sequence. The result? A mid-air drift that feels more like a physics joke than a competitive advantage.
The mechanic works by latching onto a teammate, who then sprints toward a destination like Spaceport Tower. After the hooking player downs themselves with a grenade, a second teammate revives them only when the first reaches the target. At that moment, the snap hook unexpectedly activates, propelling the player forward in a brief, weightless arc. It’s not a full-fledged flight system, but it’s enough to make for a memorable—and slightly absurd—moment in a chaotic match.
This isn’t the first time the snap hook has defied expectations. Earlier this year, players combined it with a grapple hook to achieve a similar floating effect, though that was later patched. The current exploit, however, relies on a more convoluted chain of events, making it less likely to be abused in high-stakes gameplay. Still, it’s a reminder of how Arc Raiders' mechanics can be repurposed in unexpected ways, even as developers actively address more serious bugs.
Recent patches have shown Embark Studios’ commitment to tightening the game’s systems. Issues like the infamous door glitch, inflated blueprint drop rates, and a hidden first-person exploit were all resolved within weeks of discovery. While the snap hook glitch is more of a novelty than a threat, it underscores the game’s dynamic development cycle. Whether this latest quirk gets fixed remains to be seen—but for now, players are treating it as another layer of chaos in Arc Raiders' ever-evolving meta.
