ARC Raiders developer Embark Studios finally begins to ban cheaters in the extraction shooter, but not everyone appears to be happy about it.
After weeks of the shooter being overrun by hackers, developer Embark Studios has finally started bringing down the banhammer on ARC Raiders cheaters. Unfortunately, the community still appears to be frustrated, as reports suggest many of the cheaters being caught are only being temporarily banned from playing ARC Raiders. While the studio says it is working on upgrading its anti-cheat systems over the next few weeks, players think Embark needs to be more forceful with cheaters and hand out permanent bans immediately.
Despite initial doubts from the gaming community, ARC Raiders has found huge success in its first three months. As the extraction shooter has maintained approximately 90% of its playerbase on Steam, remaining one of the platform’s most-played titles, it’s no surprise that it has also attracted plenty of cheaters. This is an issue that many live-service titles are regularly fighting against, with even the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield often having to update their anti-cheat systems in order to combat the constantly evolving hacks. ARC Raiders has been no different, with cheaters finding ways to increase their field of view, reconnect to previous matches, and more.
