In an amusing twist in the world of multiplayer gaming, one Arc Raiders player has taken their love for rubber ducks to a whole new level. Known as BigBootyTom on Reddit, this player has been on a mission to rally Embark Studios to recognize every single rubber duck in the game. Just last month, they showcased an impressive collection of 600 of these little bath toys, urging the developers to patch the game and allow players to display more than the previously allowed nine ducks in their raider dens. Thanks to their efforts, it seems the entire squad of rubber ducks can now enjoy the spotlight.
For those not in the know, rubber ducks are scattered throughout Arc Raiders’ post-apocalyptic landscape. While most of us associate rubber ducks with bath time, in this game, they serve a dual purpose: fetching a cool $1,000 when sold or acting as a stealthy distraction. But for BigBootyTom, these quacky collectibles are priceless.
The player didn’t stop at mere collection, either. They recently shared an update boasting a staggering total of 4,200 rubber ducks, with every slot in their stash maxed out. The excitement isn’t just about the numbers, as an upcoming Expedition promises to add 12 stash slots that can accommodate around 180 more ducks. “Rubber ducks should have their own stash so you can showcase them in your room, without taking up actual stash inventory,” one player chimed in. It sounds like there’s still more rubber duck action on the horizon, and surely, Embark’s work isn’t done yet.
Moreover, an Arc Raiders producer recently hinted that the development team’s work on this extraction shooter is just beginning, even celebrating the community’s engagement with a holiday gift of 1,000 tokens to all players. “We’re here for the long-term,” they stated, leaving fans excited for what’s to come.
